Sound Off Thread: A Place to Blow off Some Steam

Here's one that never fails to raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.

I call them "Space Waiters" or "Parking Lot Vultures"; people who will wait in a lane on a parking lot so their fat asses can be 5 feet closer to the door while the little old lady loads her groceries into the car one item at a time. I see this around here all the time but it's especially prevalent around the holidays.

This scenario has been known to make The Bird take wing from my car window.

That happened to me this morning at school. I was walking to my car after class, and as I throw my bag in my car, some dude pulls right up behind me and sits there waiting for mr to pull out of my parking spot. I was pissed. Since he couldn't see my shoes, I covertly stepped on my lace so I'd have to tie my shoe. I then proceeded to buckel up, take down my sun shade, start my car, put my cd in, roll down my windows completely, wait for a car to pass by, and then pull out. I'm so evil.

Good job xyz! Kudos!

Here's something that p*ssed me off this AM:

I pulled into a gas station to get gas, parked behind another car, and as I started fueling up my car, the guy in front of me finished and drove away, leaving a space. A minute later a homeboy in a thumpin' bass-mobile pulls in, goes around the front of the pump island, backs his car into the space in front of me and starts filling up. Problem was he pulled into the open space at such a bass-ackwards angle that when I was done and ready to go, he was still filling up and I couldn't get around his car (this is a very small gas station with only four pumps in front of the garage) to get back out to the highway!!! I was squeezed behind this maroon in front of me and the garage building on the passenger's side. So anyway, I had to back out of my spot (making the people who were lined up behind me move back as well to get out of my way) and turn around to go back out the way I came in. If this jackass had just straightened out his f***ing car rather than leaving it on an angle I could've easily made it around him and back out onto the highway. What cheesed me off more than anything is that while I was trying to maneuver out of my spot, homeboy was sitting against his car watching me with this bemused smirk on his face like "Geez, lookit that guy, what an A-Hole."

ahh, freddy thanks for the laugh , helped ease today's pain

Another thing the gets me mad: newbies that come in and act like they own the place.

I said it before in the band forums thread but I don't understand that behavior at all.

You don't go into a new job spouting your opinions until you know the "lay of the land". Same thing with message boards IMO. When I first came to this board in February, I did a lot of reading and very little posting.

Seriously, whoever does that is a complete and utter idiot.

There's one with this idea
Something about a hammer head shark
Nose hairs and flatus
Best keep your distance because
Here they come here come the bastards
Bury your head deep in the sand
Anonymity is a virtue in this day and age
Amazing hand dexterity
Flagrant misuse of security
Better run, run, run, run, run
Run run run run, here they come.

Another thing I hate:

People who complain about the outcome of an election when they chose not to vote.

#1 on my list

I'm beginning to understand why they don't though. I don't like either candidate and i'm sick of voter for the lesser of two evils.

Obama rallys really tick me off - especially his rally yesterday in Leesburg, VA which caused my commute to increase to 2 1/2 hours to get home yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

...or when they say, but my vote won't count. I wonder how many people thought this going into the 2000 election in the state of Florida. If they were anything other than Republicans, they were probably kicking themselves big time!

So, if you think that about this year's election, what did you think about the candidates in 2004. I felt like America was getting a swift kick in the balls or the baby maker with guys like Kerry and Bush. I sat there for 15 minutes...I almost thought about going with a 3rd party candidate.

Oh yeah, I wish a third party candidate would actually stand a chance. I will vote though.

same here, bob barr is the only one that would actually bring change. to many are stuck on the old my granddaddy's daddy voted (insert party) and so will I.

I hate it when someone bumps a pointless thread that hasn't been touched in almost a year to say nothing more than one word or post an emoticon as a response. I am certainly not denying anyone's right to post whatever or wherever they want. I just feel that if something hasn't been front page for over a 3-6 month period, there is a reason for that. If you really have something beneficial to add to the thread (the band has a new album coming out, a re release is being planned for an anniversary, or someone got arrested, etc.) then, by all means, add it to the thread and maybe it breathes new life. Okay, I am off the soapbox. I feel better now. Peace.

I kinda have a feeling that was directed at me.

Not at all. You "start" pointless threads ! (ex: the toilet paper one)

Yeah, but I only got one reply...
