The Rant Thread...

[Dale Mabry]

I figure this is a good thread for EVERYONE to come in and rant about their day, whatever that day may be. I have a 2 things that have happened the last few days and will rant on them to catch up.

So on Saturday, I go to a club and at the end of the night, there is a long-ass line to get your coat. So I am standing behind this guy, and all these girls start to go up to him and ask if they can cut him. So he lets these 2 girls in front of him and then another 2 girls try to do the same. As he says yes, I say, "Let me answer this for you, under absolutely no circumstance are you to let any more people in front of you, ok?" So he agrees and I tell him I understand what he is trying to do, but if he isn't getting any poon, he doesn't need to let anyone cut. The girls that cut him said that they thought he was being a gentleman, but I told them that he was being an asshole to the 30 people behind him. Funny thing was that the 2 girls that I wouldn't let cut me started getting chummy with me after they cut behind me and asked where we were going after. Further proof girls like aholes.

So yesterday, I hit the gym at noon. The place was mobbed. Who the fuk has the time to work out at noon. Anyway, I wanted to use the 60 lbs dumbbells, but some guy had them. I found them, looked up, and found a guy reading the Wallstreet Journal in between sets for like 5 minutes. What commitment.

And today, some guy I was talking to was talking about BBing and we chatted and he told me he was in the middle of a bulking phase. This guy was damned near 20% BF and he told me he was in a bulking stage. I HATE when people use the term bulk for the purpose of eating like a douche bag. If he was in the middle of his bulk, I can't wait to see him in a month or 2.

That's it, petty I know, but I gotsta vent.

Here's my rant about the weather here in Canada:

IT SUX!

It took me 2.5 HOURS to get home from work last night and it's only 50km away (which is 32 miles to you Americans). Stupid ass people all over the road because of a little snow and ice plus my new SUV I found out is totally useless when it comes to bad weather. I could have made it faster on a bicycle.

I hate winter.

Rant over.

[Dale Mabry]

Here is another one for today.

Why the hell is it that people who are walking on the left side of the hallway feel the need to sharply round corners. I thought we had a nice little convention here in the states where we stay to the right when walking in a hallway or driving down the road. Now I have to continually walk into people cuz they are too lazy to stick to their side.

It's only Wednesday and I have to work over the long weekend.

[Rubes]

football coach's wont make up their freakin minds what to do with me stick me at wr or rb on offence or at saftey or linebacker its pissin me off last 3 years ive changed what spots i play 5 times its just bullshit

[fufu]

I usually always have something to rant about...but not now. Damn it!

[I Are Baboon]

You know what really grinds my gears? Nobody's come up with a new priest and a rabbi joke in like thirty years. Ya know? I mean, okay, ah, umm. Priest and a rabbi go, go onto the supermarket, and, uh, the priest wants to buy a ham. And the rabbi says, "Ah, I can't eat it. It's forbidden." Couldn't eat it. Not allowed, pigs are like superheroes to them. Is it perfect? No, but I, I don't see you coming up with anything. And that people is what grinds my gears.

I have to work the Puerto Rican Day Parade this weekend in frikin NYC. Nuff said.

Actually when I look at this situation, the girls were probably getting chummy with you because you exhibited a higher confidence level. A guy that just senselessly let's girls cut in front of him because they're hot gives off the impression that he'll do things he doesn't like just to give himself a better chance of getting laid.

You on the other hand were the confident one that stopped thinking about vagina long enough to notice what he was doing was bullshit and did the right thing... girls like that.

That's hilarious! I mean it sucks that you had to put up with that crap but when you look at it, it's funny to see the level of stupid bull that people do at the gym a lot of the time.

If I'm off work for a day, or on leave for a week or something and have time to go to the gym during the normal work day, I see the gym packed but it's not with the dedicated people. It's always the non-working mothers and wives or the old retired guys, with the occasional guy like me here and there. Seems like most of the people that have time to fuck off at the gym while everyone else is at work... do exactly that... they fuck off, not work out.

I actually did a lengthy comedy skit about people's antics at the gym. Some of it can be quite comical when you look at it a certain way.

Mexicans.

I live in Salt Lake City, where it's practically 1955 all-white America, and there are Mexicans all over the place. And they're turning the west end of the valley into a shit-hole.

If I ever become a serial killer, I know who the fuck my prey is going to be.

[Plateau_Max]

I guess I'll rant for a minute too.

Yesterday I was working all day as usual with a lot of alone time in one of our sections that I utilize (like right now) to blab on the ironmag forums. I found myself so burnt out on talking about fitness and giving advice that when my co-worker came in to relieve me and he had a bunch of junk food that he called his lunch I didn't have the heart to really say anything when he started talking about wanting to get on a new exercise program..... sigh.

I saw the movie "Knocked Up" with my girlfriend and I gotta say, as funny as it was and as good as it was to be spending time with my girl... that movie had a lot of content in it that almost made me uncomfortable watching it with her. The relationship problems, the pregnancy, breakups, marriage troubles, cheating..... just I dunno sort of odd to watch that while entertaining my own budding relationship. I would recommend the movie to anyone, but you're probably better off just watching it with some of your guy friends, or girls with your girl friends.

Of course we topped it all off by going home and having loads of incredible unprotected sex . She's on birth control and not ovulating, plus her doctor said she's not able to get pregnant because she's too underweight... and we've both tested clean for STDs. Ahhh blissful youth.

omfg!!!! my landlord wanted to sell me a car for way over the blue book price. i found a car half as old for half the money at 1/3 of it's blue book price. now he's pressuring me cuz he wants to do the work that needs to be done on it n saying it'd be cheaper than at an actual shop. blah blah blah. the guy gambles n twice has said i didn't give him money i gave him on things i bought from him. i'm going to lie to shut him up n say vanity offered to pay for the work to be done but only if it was done by a registered mechanic at a reputable shop n the work is guaranteed.

My mom seems to think that my kids are hers. Now this gets old. I tell them no about soda or candy and as soon as I leave (and come right back), I realize they are sitting there eating candy and drinking soda. Now that really irratates me!!! Kids dont need that junk as often as she tries to give it to them. Besdies its as unhealthy as can be!

in a situation like that we (women) will be nice to the guys that were assholes cuz we are trying to establish some security by making nice. assholes are scary so we act nice to feel safe. has nothing to do with respect. we still think the guy is a scary asshole.

Fuck, I've had a great day.......wrong thread I guess.....

[Plateau_Max]

I've been fighting with this damn wireless connection here at work and it's really getting annoying.

So this person from an insurance company I dealt with a year ago (they were the policy provider to the guy that ran into my car) calls me up and leaves me a voicemail saying there's a check for $6.14 that I never cashed. I called her back to rectify the situation and she tells me I don't have an issue with a check that needs to be cashed and the reason she called was actually because my car was still at a wrecker company and I needed to call them and tell them to release it to the insurance company.

So after calling the wrecker company and telling them to release a 2000 camaro and them telling me they had no such car there... ever. I called back the person at the insurance company and she tells me I have a check for $6.14 that I never cashed and she needs to re-issue it.

Is it just me or does it seem like people who don't have their shit together complicate OTHER PEOPLE more than themselves?

Oh and Little Wing don't tell me women don't dig confidence. I know they do. Plus he wasn't being an asshole he was handling the situation the way he needed to because if a guy lets 4 people cut he's actually letting them cut in front of EVERYONE in the line behind him.

I remember one time I was standing in line for a movie that had just come out and the guy about 15 places ahead of me in line kept letting a bunch of his friends cut in front of him... I'm not kidding, it was like 8-10 people he let in front of him. I got up to the ticket booth and the person in front of me had just bought the last ticket. I wanted to go in there and rip that guy out of his seat and beat the ever living crap out of him, he screwed me and the 8 people behind me out of seeing the movie... people who actually showed up early enough to deserve seeing it.

So I'm in the grocery store yesterday, buying some buttwipe and whatnot, when an obese mother with her fatty daughter walk up behind me looking at tampons. It would have been one thing if they just picked something out and moved on, but no, they had to talk about all the different kinds they had tried. The mom went on to tell her daughter that the heavy flow pad wasn't nearly heavy enough for her and at that point I threw up on my shoes and walked out. In the parking lot I saw a bum wearing a Princeton sweatshirt...just thought it was ironic.

[Plateau_Max]

That's nasty dude.

[Soul of Sol]

Women are rude.
That is all.




Oh, and not having internet connection at home SUCKS!!!!!!

you're right. you know more about how women think than i do.

[ffemt]

I hate stuiped people!And thats all I got to say.Thanks and God bless

[Plateau_Max]

Of course I do.

Not really. But I find the scared of assholes idea a bit hard to swallow.

[BoneCrusher]

How about women in that type of social mode are opportunists. Girls just wanna have fun ... right?

he put himself in an alpha position and them in an omega. they made nice to the alpha to be allowed a position at the carcass rather than be chased away. it's not that complicated. or it could just be Dale's cute if he wasn't they'd be talking about what a dick he was afterwards.

[Plateau_Max]

Now I'm not trying to escalate some sort of challenge here but I think the idea that being a woman makes you understand all women better than any man. Really I couldn't tell you the reasoning behind how a lot of men think. There are probably some women that have a better understanding of certain men than I do. I just gave my own analytical view on a situation and we'll leave it at that.

Dale probably is a stud though.
