The Complaining and Bitching Thread

All I wanted was a book. I didn't have time to get to the bookstore so I figured I'd just pick up something at the airport... ugh.

Do you know how many books there are that are clearly cashing in on the Fifty Shades thing? I do. Too fucking many. There are also a shit tonne of books aimed at expanding my mind, filling my pockets with filthy Asian lucre and a section devoted to John Grisham.

I wish I had just grabbed one of my own books to re-read.

 

I got and read 'World War Z' for the flight from ATL to Rhode Island. Done in about 90m. Interesting spin on zombie apocalypse. I traded it in for 'IQ84', which I haven't started yet.

 

Fucking HELL, some people are so full of vitriol. And that makes me sad.

 

God, I love that word.

 

...

Fuck all you people with 9-to-5 jobs.

Yeah.

 

Why did I have to discover the awesomeness of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream when I finally got my fitness shit together?!

Damn you, you delicious, velvety, creamy-yet-refreshing concoction of purest bliss!

...

*destroys a low-carb Gatorade instead*

 

Funny, guess what I just drank?

MAGIC.

 

Bah.

I'd down that shit with furious anger, if my goal wasn't to lose a bunch of weight and avoid packing on too much muscle.

 

Well, something tells me that you'd be better off drinking that shit instead of eating buckets of delicious ice cream, Captain Sugargut.

 

Mmm.... mint chocolate chip ice cream...

Drool.

 

Pedestrians also need to wake up Baraka.

Around 6.30pm on a wet, dark winter’s night, a dimwit wearing absolutely no fluro gear decided to unload his trailer……. ON THE ROAD SIDE of the road. I actually didn’t notice him until after I’d driven past him and thankfully, I must have turned the corner more in the centre of the road to unwittingly avoid a fatality due to his stupidity. Also because of that dimwits stupidity, he was damn fortunate I didn’t have a collision with any oncoming traffic. If I had, that same dimwit would have been the first to blame.

Further down another street the same night, a pedestrian wandered across the road – again wearing dark clothes with absolutely no fluro gear to make themselves visible. It was only because I knew the pedestrian crossing was coming up, a crossing the mere shadow didn’t use, that I slowed down. Needless to say, another life saved.

And then, just around the corner on another street, a possible third road kill pulling away from the traffic lights due to a pedestrian’s poor visibility.

Do these twits think drivers have a feline’s night vision or are they simply suicidal pedestrians?????? Just because we have headlights doesn't mean we can see them so for the idiots that don't make themselves visible on the road at night, give the drivers some slack, accept the responsibility, and consequences, yourselves and keep your mouth shut.

As for day time, there are also nearly just as many stupid, rushed pedestrians at fault - when you count them - as there are drivers Baraka.

 

Sorry. I'm working hard to drain my vitriol basin but the plug is stuck. And wouldn't you know, the goddamn thing is metric and all I have are English wrenches.

But I came to this thread to post about stupid fucking drivers that don't understand that they do not have the right-of-way when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. If there's a stop sign, the pedestrian has the right-of-way under pretty much all circumstances.

 

Nah, sort-of-friend of mine who's spewing nonsense on facebook and calling it logic. And then when I say something about it, he's all "well, look, if you don't want to be my friend, fine."

Well, then. Fine, indeed.

 

I have so much to do I don't want to do any of it.
