Being snowed in and having cold temperatures. Not cool at all.

Ham! Seriously, I despise it. Probably has something to do with my stepmom threatening to beat the s$$$ out of me if I refused to eat it when I was a kid. Now I'm the type of guy who will try something before making calls like that, and I did give this stuff a chance even back then but alas, my tastes haven't changed to this day. Ham is something of a New Years tradition around here as well as eaten around Easter. So I grin and bare it but most hams I've sucked down have been pretty fatty and rather salty. I like pig just fine. Pork chops are awesome as are porkloins but no more ham for this guy, thanks. If I had one of those transporters from Star Trek, I would have gladly beamed my portion over to someone on this forum who loves ham. And yes, I eat it if it's served with no smart remarks because that's just how I was raised. But I don't have to like it. lol

Right now, what REALLY grinds my gears is when we get those really DUMB/RUDE customers who simply don't understand how the fast-food biz works. When you order something as a "meal" you are ordering the ENTIRE meal. It comes as a package deal. That's why it's called a "meal"! If you leave off the drink because they don't have what you want or you just don't want the drink, you DO NOT GET A DISCOUNT!!!! It's included in the price whether you drink it or not!!! There's a "make a meal" button, and once you press it, that's it. If someone decides they don't want the drink (or the fries, we get that one, too) then it's no longer the "meal", and has to be RE-RUNG as INDIVIDUAL ITEMS. Yet some people seem to think they can get it without one or the other and get a "discount" from the price. But the system just can't do that, because it's a pre-programmed price!!! And b*tching to the manager about it won't change that. Grrrrr.....

I love ham, but I do hate that it makes me thirsty after I've eaten it.
Duckie, that's awful. People are just so rude and dumb these days. Weather's grinding my gears again. Not snowing, but really cold, and we still can't go out anywhere due to the State of Emergency. So annoying.

Yeah people really need to stop taking their problems out on others. I hate that so much. We all have bad days at times, but lashing out at everyone else because of it isn't the answer.

Sadly, some of these people are regular customers, and they are like that EVERY SINGLE DAY. And since I'm usually there early in the morning (I work the morning shift and help set up the store for the morning breakfast rush) it's just ridiculous to see people who haven't even started their day yet ruining ours because they feel the need to be d*cks first thing in the morning. Seriously, some of these people are just a$$holes. And some of them act like they've never ordered fast-food before, when I see them every day, and they take forever to decide what they want.
Rant: "People, it's NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!! ![]() ![]() The menu is the same today as it was yesterday. You know what we have, so stop wasting time sitting there in front of the menu board as if it's suddenly going to show something new!!" Meanwhile, there is a line five cars deep in both lanes forming behind your slow butt, and you're causing a pile-up of orders at the runner's station because you change your mind five times. Sheesh....![]() Or they act like it's a personal affront if we are out of something they want, and get pissy and squeal tires driving off which forces us to cancel their order because of ONE item, often after the order is already being made (because they took so long to tell us what they want). Or if a machine breaks down, or goes into lock-down mode and we can't make something that was already ordered. (Ice cream and coffee drinks are bad about this if they are not cleaned out according to a pre-programmed in schedule.) If we run out of apple pies because so many people order them, how is that our fault, and why would someone get mad at us over it? It's just stupid. There is projected sales volume, and ACTUAL sales volume, and if the latter goes over what was ordered for, that's just not our fault. Yet people get b*tchy about running out of items, and then drive off or yell at employees or even managers like they are personally at fault. ![]()

Yeah that has to suck, Duckie. I feel for you and know I wouldn't be able to deal with that myself every day. I never complain if someone doesn't have something I want, and I usually substitute it for something else if that happens, though it never really has.

IMDb forums. Particularly the Man of Steel message boards. It is full of people insulting others for liking Man of Steel. One of the most common insults is that Man of steel is for 'brain dead morons'.
I mean, come on! Its a movie! Someone even said that man of steel is worse than the holocaust. Also, the fact that it is difficult to earn money nowadays. Lots of plans to earn money need a backup, in case that method doesn't work out, then you end up needing a backup of the backup. Its just hell, is what it is.

Wow, seriously? Those people need to get a life. Sure, there are a lot of movies that aren't my cup of tea, but I'm not going to hate on people who like them. To each their own.

The dangerous blind bend I have to turn at every morning on my way to work is grinding my gears. Didn't used to be blind until a building site set up there, now my daily commute involves a game of 'chicken' with other cars! Put a formal complaint into the highways dept. but so far I've heard nothing back. I know I'm not the only complainant. Grr. Nothing winds me up like bad road safety, I've seen too many people's lives ruined that way.

Parents who pretty much let their children get away with everything and basically treat them like a best friend. I'm thinking of those kids who throw tantrums and pull the old guilt trip method when they don't get their way at home or in public. Then of course, they get whatever they want from said parent so they'll quit catterwauling. Then they get to school and get in trouble for say, running around and banging on the teachers' personal computer. They get sent home with a note and here comes this angry parent saying that their perfect little angel doesn't deserve to have to miss recess etc. Not that that's happened to me yet, but I've heard stories similar to this from more experienced teachers. I think it's wonderful to have nurturing parents, but there's also a time and a place to teach your kids that their are consequences when they misbehave. Please don't get me wrong. I don't plan on being a drill sergeant type of dad, but if our kids act like little monsters from time to time, you better believe they aren't going to get away with it. Was this best friend/parent thing going on when we were all kids or is this some new trend that's come about in the past decade or so?

Definitely a new trend. Yeah, my mom and I are close, but when I was younger, I wasn't allowed to get away with anything. When I did wrong, I paid for it, and so did my bro and sis. All it took was one spanking, and we knew not to do things again. But nowadays parents don't spank their kids or show them that actions result in consequences. They treat their kids like they're the best thing around and constantly make excuses for them. And people wonder why kids are getting in trouble more? This is why.

I can remember getting maybe one or two spankings throughout my childhood. One was for climbing on the camper and smearing the new paint coat at age 6 or so. She got so mad that she didn't see that I'd put a big rock behind my butt until her hand bapped that instead and well, that just made things worse! Now I'm gonna call her and see if she remembers the day of the rock hard Aaaavengers, Assemble! Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to write.

Along the parenting lines... The parents that ASK their kids "Doing you want me to bust your butt?" Yeah, cause the kid will reply yes I would love to have my butt busted. But then when the kid keeps screaming they do nothing about it. Threats only work with follow through. Our son is only 2 but if I start counting in "that voice" he knows he better comply cause I will follow through with whatever punishment is involved.
Parenting, it's a pain in the ass, but worth it in the long run! |

Yeah, I know what you mean. Had my own brush with parenting a few years back with my uncle's kids. At the time, my husband and I were living with my grandmother, along with said uncle, his ex-wife, and their kids. Their mom and dad were both in and out of jail (drug manufacturing and use) or absent a LOT (usually off engaged in said manufacturing and use), and when they were around, they pretty much let the kids do whatever. So my husband and I ended up spending a lot of time raising three kids (a girl and two boys) from pre-teen to early teen years as surrogate parents.
Needless to say, they were a handful- at least the two boys were. Fortunately, their older sister helped us keep them in line a bit, and was far better behaved. It got to a point where my grandmother ended up with custody of the boys for a year or two, and we helped her with both income, and taking care of the boys while parents were in jail for a lengthy period. At one point, the older of the boys accidentally called my husband "dad". It was sad, but at the same time, I felt like it said something about how he saw us. We're still pretty close now that they've all grown up.

crude/rude/mean people on the internet.
......which is pretty much 80% of people...on the internet....so you can tell I'm never gonna win that battle. but it's so amazing how someone can be nasty evil just because they are hiding behind a computer. (even so...I think we've all typed something downright uncool at least once) I say, if you can't say it face to face then you probably shouldn't type it. motto for the internet~ :3
