Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[LucyDuke]

I'm beginning to consider having my reproductive system surgically removed.

 

[Firstlady]

Understandable.

 

[GenMarshall]

It really grinds my gears when people poke at my debating style and use my old threads and posts against me .

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I made too much spaghetti

I have never done this. Not because I am careful with the amount I make, but because there is not enough spaghetti in the universe for me to have "too much" spaghetti.

 

[Grisu]

argghhhhh not fall already...it's not supposed to be this friggin cold in September

 

[Mirc]

WAAAYYYY too cold for September here too. Exactly when I am sick and I start my last year of highschool....

 

[Virote_Considon]

It's pretty warm here, although not sumer-warm...

Now see, I was like you once. Then I learned what it's like to upset the spaghetti-meatball balance.

I beg to differ....

after all my siblings left/moved out (after coming back from college/missions/jobs, etc...) and it was just me, my dad and my mom, and my mom didn't compensate for only cooking for 3 when she was just cooking for 7.....

I usually eat a lot of spaghetti (along with the rest of my family, so that's a lot in itself) but I can't eat 5 peoples worth (especially when its 2+ servings each.... my parents won't eat more than their share)

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

See, I never eat it with meatballs.

In college I ate it 6-10 times a week.

 

[Ekolite]

I absolutely despise spaghetti. My parents cook it all the time and im so bored of its bland taste and sickly texture that I can't bear to be anywhere near it let alone eating it.

Well I do, and it really miffs things up.

 

[Annex]

Meatballs > Spaghetti IMHO

You absoulute, total, complete and utter freak.

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

I hate how the biggest wimps think they are so tough when in their cars. Lay off the horns and stop cutting off pedestrians! If you have a problem get out of your car and tell it to my face. Oh thats right, you are a 45 year old menopausal woman who couldn't beat up a hamster. Everyone just chill out! No one will miss you if you are 12 seconds late for your cheese-tasting club.

Same here. Although there are some (really few) kinds of pasta that I can tolerate, apparently. The smell of spaghetti makes me wanna puke.

 

[LucyDuke]

If I run into a too-much-spaghetti-for-this-application situation, I put the surplus spaghetti in some gladware with a bit of olive oil and then find a use for it within the next day or two. I have never had a problem finding a use for the surplus spaghetti.

Rant:

Paid parking lots should be required by law to CLOSE THE FREAKIN' ENTRANCE and not let any new cars in when the parking lot is full. The computers know how long you've been there, so there's no way the computers don't know when the parking lot is full. I spent an hour this afternoon driving around in three different full parking lots looking for a space. I had to make sure not to spend more than 15 minutes searching for a spot, though, or I would have been expected to pay $4 for the privilege of driving around in that parking lot looking for a spot. The second lot I tried, I spent 17 minutes searching for a spot. I told the lady at the booth that I was not going to pay $4 because I had not parked my car. She didn't seem to understand why I wouldn't want to pay $4 to burn my lunch hour hunting for a parking spot and tried to tell me that I had to pay. Her supervisor was more reasonable, and let me leave.

In the end I did not find a parking spot, so I did not do the thing I needed to do. If I had known that those parking lots were full, I would not have had to spend an hour driving around looking for a spot that didn't exist, and I would not have wasted my lunch hour arguing with parking lot attendants. I am going to write an angry letter to the parking lot management, and I am going to write an angry letter to Hanna Gallo.

How on earth does spaghetti smell any different than any other pasta noodle?

I've never noticed pastas smelling differently based on their shape.
