TechNoir 9741 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-03, 04:07 PM (EST) "You know, a Rant by Tech" Y'know it's been one of those days. They are everywhere. First somebody tries to turn left on a red light DRIVING ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC and I'm slamming on my brakes trying not to hit him because I know if I hit him it's gonna be a huge amount of trouble. No. First my supervisor emails me at 6 AM and asks where some document is THAT I EMAILED HIM A MONTH AGO. Oh, he sez. Then I'm out running errands on a perfectly beautiful autumn day and everywhere there are pumpkin sales or patches or ... See I'm lying to you. They weren't pumpking. There was one pumkin, one punpkin, one pummkin, one pumnkin, and two punnkin patches. I believe there was another variant that I failed to memorize. I have failed in my reporting duties and I am so sorry. And I bought a pair of shoes. I had to talk the sales person into finding the second shoe of the pair. She couldn't understand why I might want to try on BOTH SHOES. I offered to let her hold my shoes as collateral. She looked at me oddly and refused. I had to go to the manager to be allowed to buy the second shoe. Oh an my last stop was the supermarket. Now I live in a major metropolitan area. There are supermarkets everyplace. I expect I have 6 within 2 miles of my house, maybe more. So one opens today, the replacement for a grubby one of the same brand that closed about 6 weeks ago. I go in to pick up few enough things so that I can checkout in the 15 items or less line. And it is PACKED WITH SIGHTSEERS ... I kid you not. They have carts and they are blocking everything and staring at the ceiling. WTF? Ok, I'm wearing you out. I'm sorry. I'll stop now. Except -- how do they get through life without being killed?

desert_rhino 10087 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-03, 04:11 PM (EST) 3. "RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" I still maintain that if it were done properly (or even close), 19 people out of 20 could vanish tomorrow, and the only notable difference would be that it's easier to park downtown. That, and my blood pressure would drop 10 points by the end of the first day. -- JV Sheeple suck, don't you agree?   Top

"RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" "Except -- how do they get through life without being killed?" When I worked in retail, we had a running gag that you could kill one stupid customer per week. When a salesperson was being harrassed, one of us would go by and whisper things like "don't waste it- it's only Tuesday", "you can have mine- I don't need it this week", etc. Ever wonder why you can't find anyone to wait on you? It's because "one of those" is in the store. It might be you!! Bovinated BR549- An Original Draco Masterpiece   Top

chuckles1877 489 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-24-03, 05:23 PM (EST) 25. "RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" I actually think someone is hiring "them" to do these things. That same little old lady is always in front of me at the supermarket, counting out three hundred pennies (oh! and she forgot she's got a coupon!), or at the store, needing to return something. I went to Nordstrom the other day, where there are usually people crawling all over you to help and couldn't get anyone's attention! Can I get one per week, too? Now who wants ice cream?   Top

"RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" You know, there's a car wash opening next door to the market. I got my tickets on-line about a year ago. I heard you were cutting the ribbon with one of those giant scissors. Except I think Moonbaby ran away with it...   Top

minitroll 3901 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 10-24-03, 04:46 PM (EST) 16. "RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" You people mock the supermarket as a tourist stop. Believe it or not, some tour group honestly drops them off at my grocery store by the busload. I'm still trying figure out how they hoodwink those poor people into thinking the supermarket is even remotely interesting. When they get done with the grocery store, they take them across the parking lot to Target.   Top

ginger 22512 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-03, 04:49 PM (EST) 17. "RE: You know, a Rant by Tech" Perhaps they think it's some kind of shrine? To archers who eat cheese?   Top

I feel much better after reading your rant, though. You also gave me second thoughts about my planned trip to the grocery store on my way home from work. Think I'll call DH now and make him stop for coffee!   Top

Cheer up...the punkins are out NOW, but soon it will be time for Santa to come down the chimbley and bring us toys that are funner than the ones we already had. --as God is my witness, I have at least one kid per year who says and writes chimbley or chimley. **edited because I really shouldn't try to talk to my mother on the phone, type a post, and watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame with the baby at the same time.   Top
