The 'RANT' Thread.

[electric*mayhem*band]

So, what gets up your hooter ? What makes your hackles rise, so much so that even just thinking about it, practically induces an apoplectic fit ? Could be anything, a news item, something you encounter in everyday life, drivers/driving, work/housework, public transport, politics/politician, a TV programme, teenagers, a certain commodity or product, a celebrity, mode of dress, a sport, social media sites, mobile phone users, advertising, tattoos, the weather, tin rattlers, technology, bad service, modern architecture, overuse of the word 'amazing', certain music, user manuals, call centres, a neighbour, anything at all that gets you all steamed up.

They say just letting vent on paper has a cathartic effect. Dusty Springfield, when something annoyed her, would buy a bag full of cheap crockery from Woollies, and smash it all individually up against the wall. Now I'm not advocating going to that extreme, but unbutton your waistcoat, loosen your stays, and just put it all down in typeface on here. You'll feel much better for it. Honest.

Please Note. Be mindful of the Board rules and regulations - No foul language - Thank You.

Go...

I tryrd, i i think about it for awhile then decided that given the cercumstances, it might not be a good idea to post about things that, how should I put this? It's like asking a fish to tell you what the best bait to use to catch them, or, a fish. I guess.

I'm sorry, i'll read it again. Maybe I mis did not understaood

All the OP is asking is :

What is something that really, really, pee's you off.

Easy peasy etc.

Actually not surprising when - 'Maybe I mis did not understaood'.

Could do with a translation also.

Easy peasy? ok,

What erks me is when folks find out what erks me, then use that against me as a baiting tactic, and I'm not only refering to cops. But I doubt thats what you want to hear, or rather read. So let me just make up something in an effort to play niice.

ok I got it. when people say they are burning a CD or DVD. They are recording! for goodness sakes, they are not burning anything, unless they are actually burning something, ya know, with fire, then to those people I say "I'm very sorry and please don't harm me"

Persecution complexes irk me.

actually it uses a laser to etch the data into the CD therefore it does technically burn the data. Burning doesnt always involve flame

Nits!

When some parents are too lazy to treat their kids hair

Well I wouldn't say it makes my heckles rise but I really don't like the Optus ads with that comedienne Claire Hooper.  They are neither funny nor amusing in any way.

The Yes ads with Josh Thomas are good though.

People in public office, who are well educated who say they cant use email.

Relax and retire fgs..

Any form of animal cruelty makes me feel utter rage.

I don't just rant and waffle on about it.....I do all I humanly can to fight it.

Write letters, campaign, petition, donate, support anti cruelty organisations both here and overseas.

This is an issue which drives me.

Rage is good if you use it as a motivation.

• The constant use of the word 'amazing' for anything good. Never fantastic, excellent, brilliant, splendid, wonderful, fabulous, phenomenal, outstanding, etc, etc.

• 'Alternative Comedy' and it's exponents. Usually an alternative to comedy. Leprosy is funnier.

• Any TV programme about cooking, property, or containing the word 'celebrity' in the title. Oh, and soaps. *yawn*. 

• Diagrams. Those silly little drawings, with just a series of pointing arrows in the place of text, that you find in instruction manuals. A pre-school infant could draw better.

• Football, and it's culture. *cringes*

•  Red Tape. Just been helping an elderly neighbour fill out a form issued by the council - actually it's a book - for Housing Benefit. A Philadelphia Lawyer would have problems with it.

• Nail Bars. Springing up like mushrooms. Has the female population lost the ability to use a nail file, or a nail polish brush ?

• People who give themselves exalted and over-the-top job titles. (Personal Trainer = PE Instructor - Nail Technician = Manicurist - Hair Artist = Hairdresser).
