Things which have filled me with rage recently....
- Time Warner is the most irritating thing. I work from home. I need a reliable internet connection. For some reason, this is impossible with Time Warner. I lost nearly 40 minutes of work time this evening because the internet just stopped working for no reason. Nothing is more irksome than having to crawl under Mike's desk, which is positioned in just about the most inconvenient way possible, to access the cable connection in the wall. Then I had to find the leatherman to unscrew the cable because the damn thing was so slippery and tight, and did I mention I'm on my stomach in an awkward position trying to deal with a mess of cables? Ugh. Fuck you Time Warner and your shitty service. I had Grande for two years and I miss them so much because this never happened with them.
Can't someone just help me connect directly to the internet tubes? Forget this middle man business. I'm getting my own tube.
- Someone out there named their daughter Hannah Banana. Really. I'm so sorry.
- Why is it that when writing a product review of a lotion or a television a person feels the need to talk all about how their husband had cancer and was an Army vet and now they are X number of years young and praise America! None of that has to do with the product. I read one tonight where this woman spent all her time talking about how a tornado destroyed her house and the nurses in the hospital were so friendly and always wanted to talk with her. In case you couldn't tell, that was a review for a fake diamond ring.
- When they aren't telling stories, some customers express a staggering amount of entitlement. If I had a dime for every Bath & Body Works review where someone complained about how the company RUINED their birthday or made them SO SAD because they discontinued a product. Because it is SO NOT FAIR and clearly this is THE WORST BUSINESS DECISION EVER.
- Why do people write nonsensical crap about "the good old days" and how "everything was so much simpler and better" when they review an ice cream flavor? Seriously? This is fast becoming a pet peeve. There were no good old days folks. Never. Never ever. Shut up about it and eat your ice cream cone.
- My Netflix are not here and they were supposed to be here today. Today! I demand immediate gratification. Really I just want the next season of Oz.
- Since I woke up at 3am Friday morning, it seems appropriate that I am going to try to go to bed at 4am Saturday. I did take a couple little naps in the day, though I have that hollow throated ache and my head hurts. Please work, little Ambien pill.

Stupid people. There are 1000's of stupid people hwo will buy a product, ANY product if it is even remotely linked to a patriotic theme. If I was to sell a dog turd on a stick with a packet of mustard , and threw in a mini American flag wit it, because my grandfather faught in ww2 , I would sell 1 million units before the ad was done.
Ice cream - once you ahve had real ice cream ( which is hard as hell to find ) vs the artifically chemically flavored crap, or the crap that's just crap ( mint-peanutbutter-oreo cookie-twix-carmel swirl ) you gain a new appreciation for vanilla ice cream made with vanilla beans and not extract of exoriboflvintegristic acid , extract of peanut oil solids, and 2 wanks of monkey semen ( to preserve flavor ). Alot of people blame this on ' progress ' and ' moving forward ' when it's nothing more than corporate greed. Then they think back to the last time they had somethign good, and it was when they were 12 or whatever and spout ' good ol days '. Again, stupid people. :)

Yeah, that's a HUGE pet peeve of mine.
When they aren't telling stories, some customers express a staggering amount of entitlement.
That sense of entitlement bleeds into everything. And, you know, it's one thing when it involves a PRODUCT, but when people start trying to pull that shit when it involves a PERSON, that's when I get really, really pissed off.
Suck on that cone
