S. Cook - Im so rude to cold callers its unbelievable! Not being funny though but if I wanted your product don't you think Id ring you myself!
>What if they were selling a book on funny ways to deal with cold callers? I might actually buy that from them.
B. Skrabanek - Why does curry always get such a bad rap? My apartment reeks of it tonight and it's absolutely divine.
>Why the bad rep? REEK - [rēk] VERB to smell strongly and unpleasantly.
T. Plumpton - The roadworks are ridiculous at Temple @CornwallCouncil not a single worker in sight! Also the new car park phone system is a pain!

A. Bensing - I wish people would be honest with me, instead of this tip toe through the tulips bull crap
>Great, now I have Tiny Tim's song running through my head.

J. Gromest - I have come to the conclusion that people from Maryland don't know how to drive.

>Sounds like she'll be gone soon enough. Personally, I'll miss her. I just hope they don't kill her off.
Max - Not happy with the trend in modern dramatic TV series of killing main characters after they fulfill their plot role.
>I hate when they do that in comic books. But then again, no super hero has ever truly died, have they? That's just as annoying.
B. Sachan - Here we go again. Food blogger = a person who WRITES a blog dedicated to all things food. Blog =a regularly updated website. WEBSITE.
>Feel free to follow my blog. Why only last month I was ranting about rotten fruit.
Sher - Why are there never coupons for fruit??? Grapes are expensive and necessary in my diet. Ugh!
>If only there was a food blogger who discussed this topic. I hate how expensive fruit is too, especially when it's rotten when you eat it.
KewlBabe - Getting tired of the @USPS paying for 2 day shipping only for it not to be there in 2 days, not even 3 days, today makes the 4th day.
>Where you using The United States Procrastinators System again?
Nerdarchy - I'm tired of "articles" where you have to click, click, click to view next piece of content- it's just a scam to up click rates!
>I hate those as well, so I'm not even going to joke about this. But if you really, really want to see my joke on this, click to the next article.
Nicole - Rage cleaning is a thing I do. In fact, I am doing it right now. I need to put on some music and dance like no one is watching.
>I hope using your tweet upsets you. My house could use a good cleaning. Stop over any time you want.
Mac - When did "used cars" turned into "pre-owned vehicles"? It's still the same thing.
>It's a politically correct phrase. Hey, cars are people too. Right mother?
Anna - Drive thru rules:if ur ordering the whole store GO inside (this way u dont hold up the drive thru line)
>And who trained the cashiers to give you the bills first, then place the change on top. Making all your change fall to the ground. Drive Thru - Certainly a First World Problem if I ever saw one.
I. McDermott - I thought @jimmyjohns were the guys with the fast delivery, until they were 18 minutes late with my order and made me late for class.
>You think that is bad? I was at their drive through the other day and the guy in front must have been ordering every sub in the place. That was freaky and I waited a freaky long time for my sub.
Ray - Does anyone know a place online where I can #rant in private? Like #real private.
>If you want real private try this. Pen, Journal, Bedroom. Can't get any more private than that. Unless you want t go find a cave to write in somewhere.
DiceShamingIsAThing - Ugh that was rough. Lost the wizard. Had to spend cash on his res. Got no prestige. No items. GM screwed us at a couple points. Ugh.

>It's been 13 months since my last random rants and no one has noticed or cared? :'(
J. Brown - Signal lights - use them to tell people what you WANT to do, not what you're ABOUT to do. They're useless if you don't.
>It's like, "In case you couldn't tell, I'm turning." Yes, we know.
J. V. Relph - After spending hours in a movie theater, I'm left to wonder if they ever shampoo those damn chairs *feeling itchy*
>This might be one of my subconscious reasons why I don't go very often, Alex J. Cavanaugh.
K. Barth - I really hate home owner associations. Nit pick over the stupidest stuff.
>Isn't nit-pick supposed to be hyphenated?
E. Olmstead - don't tell me you're an animal lover but you still eat meat
>Would this be a bad time to mention I always thought PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals?

>Can I hire you next year for the next random rants article?
Craig - NO Voters must feel like right idiots. They're the type that actually give their bank details to the Nigerian Lottery winning Prince

Brewstock - Anyone see @CervezaModeloMX advertising the clear bottles their beer comes in? It helps "show its character" and skunk your beer!
>Maybe their campaign character should be Pepé Le Pew.

Do you like to r.a.n.t. too?
A few people have wondered where my R.a.n.t. series has gone. It really hasn't gone anywhere. It's still here. But having joined a few blog hops and working on my own short story series, my time for writing has been cut drastically. So I had a thought. What about ranting once a month?
When will I be ranting?
I'm hoping to write the second Monday of each month. This way I only need to write one r.a.n.t. a month.
Can I join in on the fun?
YES! I'm interested in reading what other people are r.a.n.t.ing about.
How do I join you?
Grab the banner below and let me know you are interested.
What should I r.a.n.t. about?
What you want to complain about. Preferably, something that's been bugging you lately.
Examples: Your writing - the supermarket - annoying people. The sky is the limit.
If you need additional suggestions, re-read the random rants above.
*Please note. This article is not my typical format. I only do random rants once a year.
See you all next month for my next r.a.n.t. article.
November 9th
Hi Jeffrey - those are great rants - I just don't have the energy to get wound up ... perhaps I have the energy to get wound up - but not to put it out into Social Media ... ?! Sorry but forgive me passing by ... I'll read though (scan is a better word!) ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Always glad you stopped by. Personally, my rants I try to keep light-hearted, so as to have a little fun with them.
DeleteSecond Monday of each month - check! I'll remember for November. Although I was sort of ranting today. Well, not really.
ReplyDelete42 - priceless! Those were funny.
I do tend to rant frequently, even when I'm not doing so "officially" through my blog.
DeleteAnd yes, 42. My favourite number.
Some of these rants tell me that some people either have very little mental capacity or what they do have is sadly wasted. However there are a few good ones here. In fact I've thought some of these things myself, but rarely actually voice them. Maybe I should resort to trivial rants as when I get serious on my blog a lot of people seem to avoid my topic.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your rants. They are usually entertaining and I usually can relate to them.

That's an awesome compliment. Any time I entertain someone, I feel like I'm doing something right.
DeleteYes, some of those rants are ridiculous. Which is pretty much why I chose them to joke about.
I love a good rant and try to avoid blogging them, but your list is quite good! Pet peeves the lot of them. Today I'm ranting about my boys not doing the chores they told me they would do. Instead they went to some one else's home and worked there. And no they didn't do it for money!!! If they had I wouldn't be so pissed! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the thoughts that run through kids heads. I know because I have two of my own.
DeleteI wonder how many of these were tweeted while people were under the influence?!
ReplyDeleteCertainly the one about skunky beer?
DeleteI hate cold callers! I get the same numbers calling me all the time. I tell them "no, stop calling me" but they just keep right at it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how good I am at ranting....only your posts bring out my inner ranter. lol But I shall try. Sign me up. :)
I have you on the list. I amended my r.a.n.t. page above to give details on participation and suggestions on what to rant about, if needed. ;)
DeleteCold callers - So annoying. My brother worked for one of those places. We no longer speak to each other. LOL
My old man used to own a Mercedes 450 sel saloon. I spent hours washing and waxing that car, OK so I was bribed and loved the pay - but the car was a real beauty and I knew every curve, nook, really it was probably love at first sight. So we're all together for a sunday drive stopped in traffic and WHACK! The old man hops out shaking his head. Apparently we were rear ended by a drunk driver - the merc which I had spent hours waxing and polishing and she still looked beautiful was a write off. Pop traded her in for a new model. A Cadillac, ugh! A Cadillac no less, seriously? I pleaded with him. Why not fix the old girl up? No can do son. Shes a goner. It stunk to high heaven and he knew it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you go your first rant article done. ;)
DeleteSeriously though, how awful! My friend once hit a car the very same week he got his license. To make matters worse, the car he hit was a brand new car and still had the sticker on the window. Not a good way to begin your driving career.
I'm not typically one to rant. That's my husband's job...unless it comes to people in authority who act like selfish brats. Then I go off.
ReplyDeleteSee? Everyone rants about something. Once in awhile, anyway.
DeleteI try not to rant because I usually end up getting mean. But people are SO incredibly stupid sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThere's a rant. That's a rant. ;)
