What's Irritating You Today Rant Thread

[felicia1995]

My rant du jour:

I was in a busy parking lot with a lot of kids running amok, so I rolled down the back windows of my Jeep so I could better hear what was going on behind me as I carefully backed out of my parking space. I rolled the windows back up (no kids harmed) and heard a loud pop. $687 later, my mechanic fished a $0.10 plastic gear out of my door assembly that had broken. Next time I'm kicking it into 4WD and backing over the kids and using my money to attain VIB Rouge status instead. OK, maybe not, but I'm still pretty ticked. I'll be in the low-buy thread if anyone is looking for me, lol.

My mom had double black eyes for a couple weeks after getting eyelid surgery, and the Dermablend line worked really well for her. I think they sell it at Ulta if you have one nearby. It's definitely helpful to go in person to get a color match if you can. 

It's faded a lot now luckily. It wasn't full on purple but you could deff see it. Thanks for letting me know in case it happens again!

For past several days being on this board more than usual, It's very frustrating that I can't leave any "Like This" checks to any posts... As there are a lot of great posts on here that deserve "Likes". Well, at least I think so... And I feel like such a noob when I can't.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Birthday Stuff.

Myself and 2 other people from my old job have birthdays in August. I asked if anybody from said job would like to join me for a meal to celebrate. Everyone said no "because it's too expensive", then proceeded to plan a huge get together with the premise being to celebrate our birthdays, where each person is expected to spend $50-$200 on alcohol, and you're looked down upon if you don't, at a bar I'm not sure I can get to. They know I don't like bars, drunk people, or getting drunk myself. And only about 5 people I personally know will be there.

So I've made a reservation at one of the best restaurants in the city, and I'm going by myself. It's a Japanese/Peruvian fusion place which only serves sustainable seafood. If they would rather spend $100 per person on booze instead of $30-$45 on a nice meal, that's their problem, and they can just eff off.

I did a big rant on another thread an hour or so ago...I'd like to post it here and I'm kinda new at this, so we'll see if I can figure it out.  I originally posted on Sephora VIB Rouge...if anyone is interested.  

Also, aficionado, I'm with you!  I will be solo on my birthday in a few days because I too am not into what some people are planning for me.  Funny how your birthday ends up being about those than plan it.  

I don't know, maybe I'm just having a 'birthday bad mood' and don't know it yet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm not sure if I'm having a birthday bad mood or a fed-up-with-idiots bad mood. I'm tired of people who think I have to do what they want me to do.

I can definitely recall some similar situations when trying to make birthday plans with people I've known; it can be very annoying when they act like that. 

It sounds like a great place that you're going to, so that's awesome /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I've found in my case that it's often best just to make my own plans, and go from there.  Coordinating with others can be such a massive headache in so many ways; you've definitely got the better plan!

 Something that really irks the crap out of me is when a random newbie lands here with absolutely no attempt to socialize, just posts about wanting to sell stuff. Like I'm dumb enough to buy from a total unknown on a talk board, who has no feedback?

   Mostly though it is the total lack of involvement. MUT doesn't exist as a would-be-sellers playground. We are a community, who can be extremely warm and welcoming to anyone with passable manners and a modicum of couth.

Yeah.  I never know why people think they are going to make sales when they are brand new here.  There are a lot of people I would be comfortable buying things from but they aren't people with 3 posts and no feedback.  The best thing about this forum is the community.

Ok, so today I had to get a physical (something my school's nursing program requires). I've never had one, but hey, it was clearly a general physical check up.

Now, for some background info- I don't like being touched. This probably comes from things in my past, but I don't like it. Not even from many loved ones- Needless to say, I'm not a big hugger (And some people think I'm unaffectionate because of this...but it's not that. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  )

Now, I don't expect to not be touched during a physical- I'm not that dense. But I WAS expecting the PA doing it to at least tell me what was going to happen, and at the very least, warn me before he grabbed my shirt and pulled it up, or a warning before I all of a sudden (I mean, he was moving VERY quickly, so good on him for efficiency?) I feel his flesh on mine in an area that was covered by my clothes out of nowhere- he had just been checking my eyes ffs! I absolutely hated it.

Now, am I being oversensitive? Probably. But in everyone's health care training, I KNOW they tell you to explain what you're going to do, and as a CNA I know we were trained to not surprise anyone especially regarding their personal space. 

I dunno. Call me silly, I just wished he had warned me. It felt almost forceful (probably because he was trying to speed like hell through it for some reason- I know he probably doesn't realize that it seriously felt like he grabbed my shirt and pulled it up forcefully, and was a complete surprise to me) and it brought back some unpleasant memories for me.

I can't shake these negative feeling about it.  -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Anyways, at least I'm in good health... I think I'll go take my mind off of this w/some 3d nail art stuff.

 

[kawaiisofoxy]

No physical hugs, but a big ol' Internet hug from me!   :hugs3:

He definitely should have 1) gone slower and 2) explained AND asked permission before touching.  So not cool.  

My only rant today is about little boys who don't aim when they pee, and make their bathroom all stinky.  Ugh.  They might be getting a "how to clean a toilet" lesson soon.

 

[slinka]

@ aw, thanks! I'm still shaken over it, but that's mostly just because I'm prone to that sort of stuff.

And I'd be making them clean that toilet! So glad I have girls...lol.

Which reminds me, another thing bothering me today: WHY WON'T MY 2 YEAR OLD FREAKING USE THE POTTY? I've gotten her to go a few times before (her potty plays a song when used, and says "Yay!" and stuff), but she's terrified to poo in it. And now she won't even sit on it without a struggle. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Ugh. So stubborn. Freakin' 2 yr olds...

 

[LadyK]

You're not overreacting @slinka.  I spend a lot of time with nurses and in hospitals. They always explain to me what they are doing BEFORE it happens.  I have been there enough that I will just tell someone when they make me uncomfortable.  I hope it helps them be better for the next patient.  Sorry that had to be a negative experience.  

 

[BlackMagicRose]

I agree that a doctor should narrate what they are doing before they do it. A lot of people share your discomfort, so it's only right for them to make the process as non-invasive as they can.

Today I am irritated by trolls who aren't even smart enough to be effective at trolling. And I wouldn't even say that I am irritated - it's more like an annoying disappointment in them. :smileno:

 

[LadyK]

Trolls crack me up.  The comments some of them make are so outrageous you kind of have to laugh.  I just wish people didn't feel the need to respond to them.  Public service announcement:  Don't feed the trolls!!

Atm this is my rant:  I'm finding managing a Facebook group of mine becoming somewhat of an annoyance lately.  Basically, I run a filmscoring network group that has over 9000+ members.  With this said, there's the odd inappropriate post spamming, selling sunglasses, etc.  While I moderate these posts, it amazes me how angry people get over them, and how they attack me for "not doing my job".  First, this is a free, volunteer service, and secondly, these people aren't even reporting these posts; they're commenting on them and essentially promoting them.  I cannot predict what people post, nor do I don't sit on my Facebook account 24/7; spam happens with almost 10 000 people in a single group.  And this isn't even abusive content; I can see how that would be upsetting. 

Seriously, if the most upsetting thing someone encounters throughout their day is an inappropriate post selling sunglasses, and this angers them that greatly, they live in a different world from the one I'm accustomed to!

I help moderate a facebook group (much smaller than yours) and stuff like this always surprises me.  If they want 24/7 moderation they should volunteer to help out as admins or be proactive about reporting spam.  I always assume admins will take care of things within 24 hours longer if it's a weekend.
