Random Rants XXVII: The Rent Is Too Damn High!

[Bill3000]

This is so sad. From his website:

JIMMY McMILLAN has been single for more than 30 years and is looking for a date. How would you like to come on a date with me. E-mail: Date Me Jimmy - datemejimmy@optinum.net

 

[shadowplay]

About to go get a proper haircut for the first time in like 10 years.

 

[Supr49er]

The Campus is dead without the students

 

[Karalysia]

Cool you're stuck on campus all winter also? Look at it this way, you don't have to wear clothes or bathe like you normally are required to by social convention.

I am disgusted with the appalling state of ranting today. Here I use my valuable time to come by the old "rant" thread and get a healthy dose of vitriol to get my blood pumping. Instead, I see nothing but petulant whining that is not deserving of the word "rant". I am saddened, but not really shocked, that the same young people today who never crack a book also cannot form more than a single sentence to describe the horrible state of affairs that is life today.

Let's take a look at some of these "rants":

Fire drill today and it was like 8 degrees (Fahrenheit)

That's it!? This might have actually been a rant, if you had actually shared with us your experience. Something like:

Some mouth-breathing dolt in my building pulled a fire alarm today, causing the rest of us to be rousted from our normal slumber and paraded outside in 8-degree Fahrenheit weather. I didn't even have time to put on my shoes, so I was hopping from foot to foot to keep from getting frostbite. The fire department took 35 minutes to get there, but the police were there in four minutes to make sure we didn't just go back to our rooms. If this had been a real emergency, the building would have burned down before the fire department even arrived.

Went to dentist today. There's now a brick in my jaw. My speech is slurred to an insane degree.

This is not a rant, just a statement of medical procedure. My Dad went in this morning to have a scope shoved up his urethra to check out the state of his bladder cancer. That is a procedure to complain about, not getting a filling.

"Imagine" is not a Christmas song. Stupid Galaxie audio service.

Oh, let me just slit my wrists. This is the worst thing in your life that you have to whine (not rant) about? That they played a song about peace in the season of peace?

I'm 25 and I'm already stuck in a career rut. One more application rejected. Fantastic.

How about some specifics? If you happened to mention what kind of rut you are stuck in and why you are stuck in it, you might garner some sympathy. As stated here, you are a childish whinger who needs to get his act together, decide what he wants to be when he grows up, and get into action to get there.

The temperature is too damn low.

The temperature is too damn high.

The precipitation is too damn high.

It's snowing here.

Not rants.

About to go get a proper haircut for the first time in like 10 years.

This doesn't even read like a complaint, much less a rant. If you are such a hippie, you should have appreciated Imagine being in the set list.

Again, this could be interpreted as a good thing. Nice time for uninterrupted World of Warcraft marathon for the next week. Are you going to be missing anyone in particular? Girlfriend (ha!) gone back to visit family but didn't invite you? Or do you just not have extra people around to buy you beer?

I'm putting this thread on notice. I want some quality RANTING going on here. If these examples are the worst things you have to rant about, just shut up and don't bother to post. The other 99% of your life must be golden.

I know you have real issues to rant about. Look around and find something awful. I'm sure in your shallow and pathetic lives you can find numerous examples of how the world is out to rape you.

 

[Karalysia]

Now that's a rant. This is going in the OP.

Okay how about this.

This guy keeps complaining, what does he know? Nothing! HE KEEPS CRITICIZING US ON NO BASIS! He thinks he's so superior! And now my coffee's getting cold, but that's better than what happened last week! Last week I thought all my coffee was gone and when I tipped it up to get the last of the dregs it dumped out in a deluge on me and messed up my shirt. Then when I went to clean my pants and get a new shirt I stubbed my toe, then when I posted on Facebook about the tragedy I stubbed my toe again! And that was all before breakfast! What a sucky morning that was!

Like that?

Why are people getting in the 15 items or less checkout line with more than 15 items!!!!!

That is all.

About to go get a proper haircut for the first time in like 10 years.

I just realized I've never had a proper haircut for 5 years, and have not shaved ever in my life. (not a rant, btw! )

RANT: The ground is still very wet, do the snow wont settle.

 

[Kozmos]

I had to serve as a goddamn sex slave today...now my head hurts like a mothertrucker because my brain has been without blood for 9 hours.

Again, this could be interpreted as a good thing.

It's typically a bad thing if you're into social interaction and enjoy the company of others. You know, a people person. But you're right. Who needs that anyway? I mean, you demonstrate a lack of empathy and you turned to be quite a piece of work.

And speaking of real issues to rant about, you do realize you are complaining about the posts of people you'd probably never meet anyway? But you're right again: that's more important than the weather. Extreme conditions don't put undue stress on the body anyway. And if it did, stress never contributed to a decline in health anyway.

You completely missed the point of the post.

Therein lies my rant.

Heating bills are horrendous in this weather, not helped by my gas company sending me a bill for £175 for one month's gas!! I had to ring them up and tell them they were being complete pillocks as my gas central heating isn't even on!

 

[bhsup]

I gave all my cats a pyrethrine dip today and while they all were severely angered and freaked by the experience, my oldest took her frustration a step further by crapping right in the middle of my bed.
