Please Stop Slamming everything rant

I understand you grew up in the sixties and seventies when things were heavier. (i.e. Cast iron, wood doors, heavy metal pot and pans) But CRIPE! The dishwasher door, really?! A simple household dishwasher door has to be SLAMMED shut. The front door to the house, SLAM. The car (2007) door, SLAM. The clothes dryer, the refrigerator, a kitchen drawer, SLAM,SLAM,SLAM! My truck-all you have to do is push the button and the trunk will automatically close. NOPE. SLAM.

Take it easy for once please.

College sucks rant

As an official college graduate, I can tell you straight up that college is the biggest scam and waste of money to ever exist. I'd rather give the $50k I wasted to a fortune teller and be told shit I want to hear than deal with the bullshit I had to deal with in college. I had amazing grades in high school, was in both marching band, football, and stage craft.... But you're hear to listen to why it's a scam and it's awful I bet? Well for one, if you're a straight white Christian male, your odds of getting into a big school is really low due to that diversity crap. My first roommate was a gay black guy who flunked out his first semester because he couldn't even write a basic paragraph, let alone get an A in class and when he was moving out, I heard him bitching saying how the school was racist and shit..... Oh and don't get me fucking started on the dorms, I lived in the dorms for my freshman and sophomore year, I had 5 of the worst roommates to ever exist you already know about the black guy, but that's not all, he would bring back different gay guys back to his dorm like 4 times a week and have sex, I cannot tell you how many times I walked in and saw that shit, and his defense is that he sent me an email.... A fucking email.... My school email..... I bought a laptop that was strictly for school, I didn't add anything on it other than school stuff so I really only accessed my school email from like 4pm when I got. Home till 12 am when I went to bed...so I would never receive that email. Then when he moved out, this Mexican guy took his place, and he was the weird smelly Mexican roommate who I swear never went to class and sat outside the dorm with his old radio playing Mexican music. Then my sophomore year I had a roommate who had a mental breakdown and decided to shit and piss all over the room (thank God for renters insurance) then to replace him, mini Kanye west (like joke acted just like Kanye) who got kicked out for selling drugs on campus, finally we have Scott, who jerked off every night to furry porn and make weird noises and statements while I was trying to sleep.... Moving to my personal apartment was like the greatest decision I have ever made the entire time.... Anyway back to college, they make you pretty much become a prostitute to pay for a book that can be bought online for 1/4 the price, but since you needed that CD that only came with the bookstore, congrats you're paying $120 for a $30 at best. Then they make you pay a ridiculous amount of fees, fees to park, fees for sporting events, fees food.... I fucking hated school food yet I still had to buy it. I was thinking maybe, just maybe Id get a refund for any money I didn't spend on my food card, but no you have to spend it all so I had over $2k to spend on food one semester, I ended up just buying packs of coke and refrigerator food my junior and senior year. And that shit was over priced. Finally the teachers were the worst, I pay good money to attend your class, I don't care if you're daughter has a dance rehearsal that night, I pay you to teach me not to talk. I had a few teachers that spent from beginning to end teaching... But the ones that didn't, ugh... And worst of all, my campus was fucking huge OK, like it's a 30 min walk from the dorms to some of my classes, I would wake up, get dressed, and make my way across campus just to find out class was canceled. I already don't get enough sleep as it is, I could have gotten an extra hour or 2 of sleep but instead I had to walk about 15 mins to the library to study or do hw for the next 2 hours till my next class..... But overall, if you want to deeply consider suicide, get depression, and get stressed to near hell.... College is right for you.... No for privacy reasons I will not say what college.... But any questions.... Just ask.

Teenagers exist on Earth to be hated rant

A few days ago, I bought a two liter pop from my local supermarket. I had put the pop in the freezer of my refrigerator (Because who doesn't love ice cold pop?). After I had put the pop in the freezer, my teenage relatives and their parents came to my home. After they left my home, I took the pop out of the freezer (I had the pop in the freezer for three hours.). As you could imagine, I was looking forward to enjoying it. When I took the pop out of the freezer, what did I notice? I noticed that some of the pop had been consumed. As you can imagine, I am mad right now. How dumb can someone be? Logical thinking tells a person that if a food or a drink doesn't belong to them, then him/her is not supposed to eat it or drink it. What were those teens thinking? Following directions is not hard to do.

What exactly do you want women to wear?!? rant

Twice today I'm looking through the comments and I see someone mention that if a woman doesn't want attention she shouldn't dress "that" way. Or I'm with a guy friend and we see a girl in shorts and a t-shirt and he says she shouldn't dress that way.

Ok, how should those women dress? Should they all be wearing sun dresses and big hats? What? You can still see the outline of her body? Oh, well then let's give her a loose top and some leggings, now she's covered from head to toe. What? You can still make out her female form? Well, we've got a refrigerator box that we can spray paint pink and cut an eye hole in. What? There's obviously still a woman in there? Fine, forget the pink spray paint.

Another thing, what does changing the way she's dressed do? I can imagine that a man might think she's dressed that way for attention and is then confused when she doesn't want to be approached. "Well, why would she dress that way!" She doesn't care if her outfit frustrates you. It's always your own responsibility to control yourself. It's never acceptable to give in to your baser instincts no matter how hard others make it for you.

If it's a matter of decency then that's like, your opinion, man. If you really think women dressing a certain way makes society any better or worse then demonstrate how. Otherwise, it's all based on your own personal opinion and if you're not in a place of authority no one has to listen to you. But don't worry, you can dress however you want without caring about what anyone thinks too.

How I went from A fan to a hater. rant

A few months back I discovered the CGP Grey channel and found his videos interesting. Naturally I became more interested in what he has to say on varied topics and gravitated toward the podcast that he makes with Brady Haran from Numberphile, titled "Hello Internet". Now until pisode 6, I nodded in assent as Mr. Grey described some of the nuisances in life as I could relate to them.

Now at episode 37, I find myself hating his way of talking, his views and his opinions. All he does is "Act like a robot" which is the running joke of the podcast and trying to make himself look efficient by saying shit like "Oh, I am so minimalistic, Brady you are not, Get some order into your life Brady etcetc.

For a person who makes education videos for a living, he is one of the most ignorant person I have seen on the internet, and mind you all lovely folks that you come across more persons on the internet than you can in real life. What is the deal with him and Newspaper. He doesn't follows new and acts mighty about it instead of accepting his shortcoming, trying to downsize Brady. Also he is always moaning on and on and on and on about Apple and/or Iphone. I agree that it is good, but do you really have to whine so much about it? I remember how he said in a previous podcast that he doesn't like the Iphone's new increment in size and bitches about the Apple watch launched along with it professing that although he has bought the Iphone he doesn't like the Watch. However after a few podcasts and in his Vegas Vlog, he is seen wearing it and he also claims how mighty that watch is, in his opinion. In my language there is an idiom which when translated means "spitting and licking it". He is the perfect example of this.

He is also hypocritical since he always puts human dominition over nature as a first but prefers to be in nature for a relaxing holiday. He gives an impression of one of theose campers who camp out in the woods and bring with them a caravan with a bed, refrigerator, a toiletand everything that one must not do while camping.

Also I know it is a joke that in his patreon page he has mentioned a goal of 1 million dollars from the podcast (in which some users sent him pictures from the Shard). But the amount of donors giving him his current amount of money every month is ridiculous considering he hasn't put out a video or any anything for months. I know he puts in a lot of effort in making those videos but 3 or more months for just a video? And people are donating to him for doing nothing?

Not everywhere is for standing, so practice some situational awareness, please! rant

Places not to stand around or congregate with others:

1. Any kind of portal (Doorways, entrances, exits, etc.)
2. Any kind of passage (footpath, sidewalk, hallway, corridor, aisle, etc.)
3. In front of places that others will likely need to access frequently, such as:

• Kitchen sinks
• Refrigerators
• Water fountains
• Refreshment table at a party
• Coffee machines
• Pantries

It's most annoying when they keep standing there, even after you've had to ask them to step aside multiple times. Like...maybe there are better places to stand?

The Great Mini-Fridge Debacle rant

Yooooo so I have no money for food and somebody keeps flagging my craigslist post selling my mini-fridge (I move in five days). I am, I believe my generation would say, triggered lol. Here is the body of the text if anyone would like to point out where I violate craigslist terms of service. A link to the screenshot is at the bottom of this post.

"Looking for some extra refrigeration space? Need something to keep beers cold outside or in your room? Need a place to store a chopped up body to prevent the cops from correctly identifying time of death? This fridge is for you. Featuring a sleek, stainless steel design, the Magic Chef mcbr360s has been called the "Prince" of refrigerators, setting trends and keeping everything cool since it's introduction several years ago.

This state of the art machine features 3.6 cubic feet of cold-keeping storage space, with a top section and separate controls for freezing. That's an entire Kevin Hart you could keep trapped in this fridge, indefinitely, and he'd still have room to access his favorite frozen dinners!

Mini-fridges with 3.6 ft³ of storage usually sell new around the $200 Mark, with the models less than half this size selling around $140, but because I'm moving in five days and won't need it anymore, you can own this fridge for $100 or best offer. Act now, if I have to move this thing August 1st I won't take any less than $120 afterwards."

Obstacles, obstacles EVERYWHERE! rant

It seems that life is determined to shit on me from every possible angle. There is LITERALLY no corner of this world that I can inhabit for productivity with peace and quite.

2 years ago I moved in with a cousin who lives close to my university for the purpose of escaping the constant disruption from home. My home is constantly filled with people who never seem to remember that I'm busy. My parents seem to have an endless need of "just a minute" interruptions every other minute. My grandmother will respect my need for privacy only as long as her memory allows her to, then it's more interruption. My dogs freak out and unleash an avalanche of desperate barks for any little noise. And of course, when none of this is happening there is always the uninvited and unexpected guest - which of course I am expected to greet and entertain....because, you know, I have nothing else pending.

But here, at my cousins house - it's just as bad, if not worse. Tucked away in a shitty, industrial area of Los Angeles, the people that live in these areas remind me of why society is stratified. Across the street is an industrial train station that seems to think it is okey to blast their horn for up to 30seconds, 3 times, regardless of the time. Seriously, I've been up at 1am and these motherfuckers still honk that shit. I've literally left my computer monitoring decibel levels, and it's absurd how loud it is. Then, of course, you have the fucking obnoxious delivery trucks that, probably inspired by the train, lean on their horns way to fucking long to announce their presence.

If it isn't the train station it's the neighbors dogs, barking non-stop, and the equally animalistic owner does nothing to stop them. If the dog is quite, then it's owners are yelling at each other for some petty quarrel. If neither the dog or it's owner is making noise, then someone a few houses away is lighting off HUGE fire works. These things are fucking powerful, I can feel the shockwave on my desk - i don't know how they managed to get their hands on them.

Last, but certainly not least, if - by some divine miracle, none of these things are interfering with my focus, then it's the temperature. My cousins shitty old house has SHIT insulation. During the day the house is well over 100F, and during the winters I can see my breath in my room - which by the way has no door. During the summer the ants, attempting to stay cool, will be all over my room, and I'm constantly being woken up by them crawling on me. My cousin does nothing to stop this because he's got a nice AC unit in his room, and keeps himself cool while I bake.

And if that's not enough, when none of these fucking factors manage to disrupt me, then the piece of shit internet (TimeWarner Spectrum, btw) will disappear for a few hours.

Lastly, to add insult, the only little bit of food I keep in the refrigerator will be eaten by my cousin. As if I hadn't had enough shit on my plate, he takes away the only bit of food I have and need to go about my day.

Wtf life? I'm melting on at my desk as I write this. Struggling to go about my assignments as I drip in sweat. I can't tolerate this much longer. I'm drastically close to loosing my shit.

Glass Houses: Don't give people crap for 'being lazy' then do something lazy rant

There's people that can drive you insane by just throwing off their shoes and leaving them in the middle of the room. Then do it again the next day with another pair, and so on and so on until there's a pile on the floor. That same person will place a package of cold cuts right in the main space of the refrigerator, taking space away from the juice, milk and other big stuff that particular shelf was made for. So instead of just reaching your arm down, opening the drawer and putting the items where it belongs, you put it somewhere it doesn't belong and the result is bottles of milk, juice or whatever, precariously dangling off the edge of the shelf when you open it up. When it falls on you, you make a scene. A whole bunch more of this type of BS I could go on about but will leave it at that. Just remember that whenever you yell at someone for being lazy to remember that things would be so much more organized if you took a few seconds and burned a few more calories to put things where they belong.

Completely done with my roommates, but still have another 3 months to go. Advice needed! rant

Okay, so here is the scenario I am in: I currently live with 2 other roommates, one male one female. We are all around the same age, but the female attends a different (private) university. Some background information before I die deep into the present situations. I had met both over a FB page and after actually meeting in person a few times, I felt that I had made a good choice in roommates (I am the one who found my place first, just needed some people to live with). Here are some of the things that I had asked and was hoping to share similar thinking about: 1: Doing your dishes within a reasonable time (i.e. if you need to run to class in the morning, no big deal. Or, if an exam is coming up/finals are near, even a couple days are OK). 2: Do our fair share of housework; simply try to take out the trash when you can, clean up your messes, help maintain the shared bathroom as best as you can. 3: To to keep an open line of communication with one another so when conflicts do arise, we can do our best to solve them in an adult and respective manner. 4: if you're going to have people over, please let everyone else know ahead of time (same things with parties, get-togethers, etc.). Now that that is squared away, here are some of the situations that have happened so far and also most recently, starting from earlier to present. The first initial month was going pretty smooth, everyone was being respectful with one another, cleaning up after themselves, and all around a healthy atmosphere. Then my male roommate (We'll call him Joe) had severely fallen off the boat and became one of the messiest people I knew. After trying to not cause any conflict, I simply would clean up after him and even the female roommate (we'll call her Marie) occasionally. This had gone on well into the 1st semester and approaching finals. Eventually, I had severely stressed out, and simply asked the Joe does his dishes when he should. I simply received a "kay" and I felt that that would be the end of it. Boy was I naive. It had been maintained for about one week and then immediately back to the disgusting piles as before. Needless to say, it got to the point where I had felt like I was a parent begging his kid to do his chores. Finally, after I simply had stated how it was unfair, rude, disrespectful, etc. I had received severe backlash. Winter break was approaching, so I had hoped things would settle down and return to normal when we got back. BUT, the week of my finals (of which I had 5, also I am a Pre-med student with heavy load) Marie had felt it was appropriate to come into the apartment at 6am and begin to completely disregard the fact anyone was sleeping (my room is also so luckily right next to the kitchen) and had awoken me from my 2 hours of sleep. THis went on for a solid 15 minutes until she clomped down the stairs...in her HEELS...and rushed out of the door. Now, being on only 120 minutes of sleep I had been rather aggravated. However, I decided it would be best to wait until she left before sending her a message over our group chat instead of confronting her in person at that time. I will fully admit my message could have been more respectful, but Marie (recall she went to the private college) who had already been done with her exams and was worry free for the last week, had gotten a good tongue lashing over text. I began to ask who was banging around and being totally rude. I also had said, "what the fuck?". That is the worst that I had texted. To sum this part up, she had argued with me about how she didn't know I had exams (even though I told both my roommates a few times 2 weeks in advance) and how she really didn't know that she was being loud. I assure you, anyone in my situation would have thought that someone was being murdered in my kitchen with several cabinets being slammed, refrigerator door as well. At the end of the day, both of my roommates, Joe and Marie had ganged up on me and told me I was being unnecessarily upset and that I was wrong. I ended up apologizing for the cursing, but never received any form of apology back from either. Fast-forward to 2nd semester. Next incident as again from Marie. Marie had enjoyed being able to go out about 2-3 times per week and coming home late at night drunk. One night, after I came home from the library, I saw yet another massive pile of dishes and extremely messy kitchen. I assumed it was Joe, who had been playing videogames for a few hours already, and calmly told him to clean up his mess. I was told it was Maries, and I simply messaged her telling her it was totally unacceptable to leave behind a mess...especially when you are simply just going out drinking with your friends again. Similar result from both roommates that night and following morning. I just can't win folks. If you made it this far, I appreciate your patience and (hopefully) interest. Finally, I will skip a few more scenarios (mostly regarding Joe being lazy and still very messy) and go over the last month. 4 weeks ago I had gotten a dog in our apartment, and yes, I did ensure I had asked my roommates SEVERAL times that it was okay with them, and gotten all the necessary paperwork done through the landlord. First week had gone well enough, my 1-yr old rescued dog from the humane society was adjusting very well. Until I had one very busy day of a lab and exam immediately following. I had kept her in her crate, and simply told Joe to text me if she started to get riled up or anything like that. I made sure to leave a 30-minute window between lab and my exam to come home and take her out etc. Within a few minutes of starting to come home from my lab, I receive a message from Joe that my dog somehow managed to escape her crate and was going "crazy". First her crate is located in my room, which is already dog-proofed and is okay if she did manage to get out (even by some Houdini shit). I found out he had actually gone into my room, and man-handled my dog back into my crate. This is totally wrong and wa a huge boundry passed, although it wa deemed totally fine by Joe. After I had calmly reminded Joe that my room is dog-proofed and that I would be the sole one to take care of my dog, I simply told him not to do what he did in the future. This was received with a, "yeah, whatever". I simply brushed it of my mind and tried to forget about the situation. I enrolled my dog in training classes and had now a strict regimen for her to be on. The third week I had my dog, I was teaching her more behavioral manner (not jumping on people, stopping mouthing/nipping etc). My dog had got out of my room when I didn't close it all the way and simply went by Joe in the living room (where he literally does live in now for ~8 hrs a day on his xBox) and was just asking to be petted. Joe had begun to push her away and get more physical with her. I immediately stepped in and took my og away from him, staying calm and saying that pushing her will make her think you're playing and have her wanting to do it more. He simply said, "I'm going to keep doing it because that's all that works". Which I finally replied in a firm manner, "no, you will not push my dog. I am trying to train her properly and I will try to keep her away from you as much as possible, but you need to be much more patient and respectful than you have been". I simply received the same answer and a grunt that told me he would not respect my wishes. Finally, it wa approaching Easter weekend and I was going to have to take my dog home with me, as I had to visit family and it would be for a few days. In the time it took me to get everything packed up that wa need (which took about an hour) I had forgotten to do my one plate, and 3 butter knives in the kitchen. Within 24 hours, I received an extremely nasty text from Marie, calling me a hypocrite and totally blasting me for forgetting my dishes. She then continued to tell me she took them and set them on top of the microwave in my room. This, again, was over the line for me. I was extremely stressed out with the family gathering coming up, and knowing that my boundaries and privacy were breached was just too much. I forced myself to turn off my phone for one hour before responding. I then replied with, "I apologize for forgetting my mess. THat being sid, for future reference no one is allowed in my room without my permission". I'm sure you can already guess what came next: I received further backlash about how I was being "immature", how I needed to "grow-up", and stop trying to cause issues in the house. This was about two weeks ago already. I ended up apologizing and saying how I was "totally in the wrong" just to stop the waves of aggression. Obviously, I don't feel that way at all. I will let you know that from then until right this moment, not a word has been spoken from either of my roommates to me for the last 2 weeks, as if they both decided on a house "shunning" for me overstepping my boundaries and daring to even think it was okay to ask that my privacy and rights be respected. Now Reddit, what do you think I should do from here? Do you have any similar experiences? If so, I strongly implore you to PLEASE give me advice on how to cope with the constant tension in my residence and how to handle the situation. Thanks.

To the racist/sexist landlord rant

Let me explain: my daughter is beautiful. She's one and a half. She has curly brown hair, brown eyes, white skin, a beautiful smile, and babbles away and waves hello. She is my husband and mine's child, our first born, our pride and joy.

But according to this asshole she must have been born out her dad's butt—she's a butt baby!—and I'm just the damn gold digger nigger who takes advantage of this poor white family that I had no hand in helping create.

Let me just throw out some of my favorite quotes from this asshole.

"Aw is that the little princess? Oh you must be a daddy's girl huh? You look just like him! She looks nothing like you (me the mom). What a cutie! I bet you'll grow up like your daddy too!"

Yea, because black babies are ugly. You hear that black babies? You're ugly! Thank GOD my baby turned out white! Now she can have a beautiful life! A respectable life! Because she's whittteeeeeee. Man she could become president if she wasn't a woman!

"Wow it looks like you had nothing to do with her—because she looks so much like her dad."

Yep. She's a butt baby. Her dad walked around, looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. He got in doggy style and gave birth right there in the barn! I just got fat from eating her Aryan white angel wings when she was born, thus preventing her from being the second coming of Jesus that she was meant to be. Damn me and my nature as a black person for destroying everything that is white and pure!

"You shouldn't call your husband from work if there's a repair that needs fixed at home. He must be very stressed from working so much, and you're home all day so maybe you don't understand but yea don't bother him."

I mean why would he want his black sex slave mistress calling him at work? Even if the refrigerator is broken because of a shitty landlord, I mean, why would he want to know what's going on? God thank you old man, for telling ME what I can do with MY husband. Can you coach me in the bedroom too? No, in fact, just take my place! I'm sure he'd be better off having sex with a white person, gender be damned, than a black woman.

"So what's it like getting to relax at home with the baby? Wish I could have been a stay at home wife back in my day. I bet your husband wishes he could relax like most women these days."

Oh, I don't fucking know actually! I haven't relaxed in this home since a year and a half ago coincidentally! But I can tell you what it's like getting to wash dishes by hand because the landlord took out the dishwasher! And what it's like doing laundry! And changing diapers! And vacuuming twice a day because of spilt baby food! And crying in the tub because my feet hurt! And trying my best to keep my husband satisfied!

"Aw I would love for your daughter to come and visit me down the street. I'd be happy to have her over!"

Wow you aren't even going to offer her some candy first? And you're going to make her walk to your creepy pedo dungeon instead of getting a ride in the white van? (But seriously his van is blue). I mean I get she doesn't get as much white privilege as the other kids but come on!

Rest In Peace. You will be missed.

We are a lazy society. rant

So I believe it was a few weeks ago when I saw a top post on the front page of Reddit of a refrigerator in a home improvement store with a screen on it where someone had managed to get pornhub to display on the screen. I thought it was pretty hilarious.

Fast forward to just a few minutes ago, where I find myself walking around an electronics and appliance store with a friend of mine, and I come across this same model of refrigerator, which is made by Samsung. Seeing it in person puzzled me because I just couldn't entertain the idea of having a refrigerator with a touch screen the size of a small laptop.

My friend notices that it has the ability to stream Pandora internet radio which he and I both agreed that it's stupid to have a refrigerator that acts as a stereo when a smartphone that literally almost everyone has along with a portable Bluetooth speaker does the same for a fraction of the cost, not to mention actually makes goddamn sense.

Now here's where I get royally pissed off.

I notice there's a capability that this refrigerator has where when activated uses an internal camera on the door INSIDE the refrigerator so that you can look into it without opening the door.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

HAVE WE SERIOUSLY COME TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE SO GODDAMN LAZY AS A PEOPLE THAT WE CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED WITH THE SIMPLE TASK OF OPENING THE FUCKING DOOR OF A REFRIGERATOR TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE SO WE PUT A CAMERA IN THERE TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT "YES, WE DO IN FACT HAVE EGGS?!!"

Can this fucking vacation end already? rant

We're in a tropical destination with the whole family, my parents and siblings, my wife's parents and siblings, and our child for Christmas and New Years. Pretty big family trip, sounds amazing, we planned this trip last Christmas Day, and we're all in the same property (my parents and family are on an entirely different section of the resort, whatever). Sounds like a great time, right? Destination vacation for the holidays!

My kid got sick 3 weeks ago with the sniffles before we left, and it turned into a nasty cough and she's not sleeping well, which means my wife and I are not sleeping well. We don't trust our family well enough to watch her for one night so we're stuck with a wet-cough toddler, which hearing any toddler have a wet cough pisses me off. The last 4 days we've slept for 3 good hours and whatever else we can get in the car while going to other hot-spots. This sucks, but we have coffee to help with our exhaustion.

Our unit is a complete piece of shit. Pieces of the drywall are missing, holes in the door that looked to have been patched over by toothpaste or some really shitty putty. The color doesn't even match on the walls where they tried to paint over it. We weren't given skillets to cook with, scissors, or basic cleaning supplies. The hand rail is disgusting with the amount of dirt, hand grease and oils that accumulated on it. To top it off, there's an ant infestation and they have the ant-trap hut things next to our beds, inside the silverware drawer, next to the bowls... gross. We called the after-hours "emergency line" and got hung up on saying we were overreacting. Mother fucker, this trip will cost us over $10 grand total and we get stuck with ants, holes in the doors, AC vent right next to my head when I lay down on the bed, lizard shit on the top of the refrigerator, crumbs and splatter left over in the microwave from previous tenants, a vacuum that is so shitty, a $10 vacuum from Walmart would be an improvement, the dustpan is cracked and missing pieces from it so it's basically non-functional, the clothing iron leaks (which at this point didn't surprise me at fucking all), someone's dirty ass water canteen, things that are so fucking dusty that it looks fuzzy and I'm sometimes afraid to breathe in certain areas because it's so fucking janky. That's where we're sleeping with a toddler that has a cold. Fan-fucking-tastic. And when I called and asked to be moved to a different unit? They're all booked and won't refund us anything for our troubles, not even $10 off per night I'll take, but no, fucking nothing. When we ask what we can do, they say to get bug spray and take care of it ourselves. Go fucking figure. Let's do a bug bomb with a toddler, why not.

Next: my father in law is a baby in a 6'6 body with gray hair. He turns the TV on and sits on the couch, and that's fucking it. Because we flew out here to have you watch Spike TV and watch movies he's seen already in the middle of the afternoon when the beach is literally 1/2 mile down the road. Great use of time and money. He has never lifted a finger to help clean this shit hole condo. Hasn't helped one fucking bit with the ants or dust or anything. He has no idea how frustrating it is to CONSTANTLY tell him to stop encouraging my daughters temper tantrums and to stop interacting with her when she's about to fall asleep, and to stop handing her an iPhone to watch cartoons on at dinner when she's clearly enjoying her meal. If you have kids, if they eat their meal when you go out to a restaurant you're happier than a pig in shit. Back to it, he changes his voice to that disgustingly high pitched baby talk bullshit is fucking ridiculous. And mother fucker STOP TOUCHING HER THIGHS WHICH ENDS UP TICKLING HER WHEN SHES SLEEPING. JUST. FUCKING. STOP. He has seriously woken her up from being out/almost being out by disturbing her, or saying something in his dumb baby voice "take a nap my precious little girl and when you wake up we'll watch frozen and the peanuts movie with snoopy the puppy would you like that?" Then my kid starts right up by singing Let It Go or shouting Snoopy Puppy and won't fall asleep again and she becomes everyone's fucking problem now. (Again, if you have children, you know what I'm talking about...)

Then my family pulled a dick move on this trip. Started out having dinners together and one big huge happy family gathering. After 4 days they drop a bomb on us and say "hey we're checking out and going to another area to stay at and explore that's over 200 miles away. We got a great deal on a condo over there and it was the last one. See ya!" ...great thanks for being a team player. Assholes.

Next with my brother- and sister-in laws, they both got girlfriends and boyfriends before leaving when we planned this trip for pretty much an entire year. They've been on their phones practically the entire time and I can't fucking enjoy their company because they're texting every minute. Granted I am on my phone for work and I play some games on it, but this is next level type shit.

Remember how I said my kid is coughing and snotty nosed? Remember how the AC unit is right next to my side of the bed? Guess who has a cough and what appears to be a sinus infection? Yeah what the fuck else could go wrong now...?

What set me off last night was my father in law being the epitome of a toddler. We ask him "What day do you want to do <this activity>, it's what you want to do on this trip so we can do it tomorrow (really, today) and we will have to leave at 6am or Monday and we can leave at 9am. That's the options." Mother fucker stormed off because we "are bitching about what he wants to do and all he's done this trip is everything everyone tells me to do." Ok so continue that tradition of doing whatever we tell you to do, and tell us what day you want to do this activity so we can prepare, it's 11pm and if we are going tomorrow we need to prepare and wake up at 5am to leave by 6. His reply was "do whatever you want." NO GOD DAMMIT THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO FUCKING DO. FUCKING TELL US WHAT YOU WANT TO FUCKING DO. "WHATEVER (WE) WANT TO DO" IS NOT A MOTHER FUCKING OPTION.

FUCK.

4 more days of this shit.

Josh's Hell rant

Buckle up I got a story

In high school my class read Dante's Inferno. A fun discussion was creating punishments for modern day offenses (jaywalkers, loud talkers, last-pizza-slice theif). It was a fun class and sometimes to blow off steam I still think of humorous punishments that fit the crime.

I want to describe my coworker Josh's personal hell. Located in the middle circle is where Josh spends eternity. It's a constant 74 degrees in his little room. He has a television that can show him whatever his heart desires anything past, present, future, heaven, earth, multiple universes you can see it Josh.

There's a refrigerator, that manifests any food/beverages he fancies. The room also serves as a holodeck where he can live out any possible adventure. Josh you want to fuck a mermaid on robot pirate island? You can have it. All of it. You're God without guilt. Master of your prison, but you have to share it.

You have to spend eternity with Andy Dick. He will forever be tethered to you CONSTANTLY complaining.

If you want to watch the civil war you'll do it with Andy complaining about the screen resolution.

If you want to fuck Scarlett Johansen you'll have to do it while Andy Dick loudly bitches and moans about his day in hell.

Andy will passive agressively roll his eyes and sigh when you order Indian food from the magic fridge.

This room in Hell isn't about you Josh, you have to go about the rest of time listening to Andy Dick bitch about nothing.

Because that's what it's like working with you, Josh. Everyday you slink into the office loudly sighing until someone asks what's wrong. You know what? You're not the center of the goddamn universe and I don't give a shit about your tiny inconviences. I use to think maybe you were depressed but now I see you're just a boring self-important child that can only get attention by complaining, you don't want solutions or a friend you want to bitch because that's the ONLY way people will talk to you. I'm done being around your whiny ass. Life is not fun sometimes, you know what most people do? They eat their shit sandwich, brush their teeth and tell a fucking joke because we're all going to die and you complaining is just shitting in everyone elses' sandwiches. Now i'm complaining, rant over! God that felt good to write!

What's Really Behind the Corner rant

Full disclosure: I'm not sure if I'm posting to the right thread, as this is my second post ever on Reddit.

I'm a 22 typical American college student and I feel as though my entire life up to this point has been a colossal lie.

What do I mean? Well I think most people can relate to this. Ever have one notion of how things 'are' only to do some research or turn some figurative corner and find out that is not the case at all?

In school we're taught how to write papers and read long boring text books. We're also led to believe that all of this work, from elementary school to college, is to "prepare ourselves for the real world".

And yet as I reach the end of my schooling...

I have never felt so unprepared in my entire life.

Not unprepared for my future job as some computer lackey at some businesses. But as a person living in society.

I feel like I'm just waking up and the first thing I'm seeing is the look on my parents face of uncertainty. Like when I ask them why the house is so cold or why the lights won't turn on.

It finally hit me, today as I stress out about two papers I have due this week. This whole time I've been so naive and thought everything was ok.

Have I really been this dumb? This whole time? Or have I been lied to?

Every time I asked my parents something like:

"Hey how come there's no food in the refrigerator?" Or "How come the power is off?"

My parents were always so quick to say:

"We haven't had time to go grocery shopping"

"The town is without power" even though all my neighbors lights were on

I always sorta 'knew' the reason why is because we simply couldn't afford it. But I never really put it all together. Most importantly, I never saw it from their perspective because I'm a kid. Or, rather, was.

And now I'm starting to the full, shitty, picture. That's going to be me, very soon.

Always wondering if I can afford groceries, electricity, and all these other things.

Sure, these problems are trivial compared to what people in other countries deal with. But those problems have always seemed like something that was "over there".

How did I learn to think like this?

Without little regard about what is really going on?

Where did this sense of nativity come from? Why has it taken so long for me to 'snap out of it'.

To somewhat answer my own question, if go back to my previous point about school. We're taught to work hard and at the end it will all work out, but in reality it's more akin to "keep working, and when you're done, work some more".

And I hate to sound cynical but, is there really a "light at the end of the tunnel"? Or is that just something made up to inspire people to work hard?

My Disgusting Body rant

No matter what I do, how much weight I lose, how much I work out or how much I try to tone up... even as I get smaller I still have this fucking weird body. Flat ass, big gut - it's not just big - God I have this bulbous upper abdominal girth and it's sickening. My back is like two fat slabs hanging off of me. I've lost 50 pounds and I'm not even really overweight, I just have this weird fucking body... no hips, thick waist - all the curves of a refrigerator. It just fucking sucks no matter what I do, I look like a misshapen blob. Body go fuck yourself.

Windows 10 is frustrating me to tears. rant

Literally.

I wanted Windows 7. I wanted it so much that I installed it. And nothing worked. No Win7 drivers whatsoever. Warning to all: Do not buy an Asus N552VX laptop unless you really, really want Windows 10. Because that's the only option.

So back in with Windows 10. Oh joy. Joy beyond words. Literally.

For several weeks now I've gotten the "update - restart" messages, about every other day. Or I just wake up to an idle machine in the morning. And every time, Windows is unable to apply the updates, and then un-updates the machine. Rinse and repeat.

I have no control in this matter. Pro tip, Microsoft: When you create a forced, automatic process, make sure it actually works before you stuff it down your users' throats. Or up another orifice.

Not that I give a shit about viruses any more, if indeed that's one of the unmentioned failed updates. Windows 10 gives me more grief than all the viruses I've encountered my entire life.

I then tried to re-install Windows. It promptly kept the old Windows folder without asking me. And a "system reserved" drive suddenly popped up.

This is not what I want. I want a clean install.

Of course, my dual-boot options disappeared in the process. Windows doesn't like competition. Especially not Linux.

"WE DO NOT CO-EXIST. WE ASSIMILATE."

I tried to go through the Windows install DVD, hoping to find a disk partitioning tool. I don't know if I found it. The "helpful" messages didn't hint what the different choices did. I couldn't take the chance that my D: drive would survive. With all my games and save-games on.

Time to nuke from gparted-orbit. Nobody messes with gparted. I'll just have to re-install Debian. But I've learned. OS on one drive, all data on another. That way I can reinstall the OS without having to restore my data afterwards.

Now I'm installing Windows fresh on a clean disk. For the umpteenth time. Oh, look. Uplifting messages. "WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE." Well, I'm not particularly happy. "LOTS OF GREAT FEATU" Fuck you, shut up, and die in a fire. Also, fuck you.

I have completely lost control of my PC. I have no idea what Windows is going to "help" me with next. I try to pull the bottom part of a window down to the taskbar, and windows makes the window full height. Why? Who the hell farted out the obnoxious idea that one action should trigger a completely unrelated action? I do no want the top of the window to move, I just want the bottom part to do what I fucking want it to do. The OS is supposed to do what I want it to do, not the other way around.

But no, Microsoft knows best. Must I ask Windows' permission to wipe after taking a shit? "YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL 3:30 BEFORE WIPING. OTHERWISE I WILL RESTART YOUR BOWEL MOVEMENTS NOW."

I know that some of these annoyances would go away if I upgraded to the Pro version. No, and fuck no. I don't throw good money after bad. Now I hate Windows 10 for making my life hell, and Microsoft for enabling it to do so. Microsoft has left Redmond, and moved to Hell. And the Devil is impressed.

I'm tempted to install Linux and just run Win7 in a virtual machine.

I sometimes wonder how the human race will exterminate itself. Now I know. Microsoft will start making cars and household appliances. "YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE REFRIGERATOR AT THIS TIME. PLEASE WAIT WHILE WE RESTART YOUR HUNGER."

I shall now endeavour to get most thoroughly drunk. Though I feel I must hurry before Microsoft disables my beer as a harmful substance.

Some people are un-fucking-believable rant

So a while ago, my "friend" of my parents' (who was really her real estate agent that she became a bit friendly with) called her really late one night asking her for a huge favor. The woman's house was being foreclosed, and because she had no room at her new place, wanted to leave some furniture in our garage. At that time, my parents had just purchased the house not a month or two (which she knew about - her company handled our closing), and because my parents rarely opted to park in the garage, my parents agreed for her furniture to take home temporarily (a month) there. The next morning at 6 a.m., she u-hauled two huge refrigerators, a wine cooler, and a 12 foot dining room table with six chairs, WAY more than what she said she had. But not trying to create trouble, my parents reluctantly accepted out of empathy of her situation.

FAST FORWARD FOUR YEARS. Yes, four years. Her shitty furniture is still eating up half our garage. During the first six months of when she dropped of the furniture, my parents emailed her weekly to see when she would be picking it up. She forged various excuses: on vacation, sick, really sick, out of the country. Eventually she told my parents that she would not be able to take back the furniture and begged them to help her sell it, and again, because my parents were nice people, posted tons of ads to our community and to craigslist even though they had absolutely no obligation to do so and should be livid at the situation. In the end, nothing got sold - she was so ridiculous and inflexible on her pricing (asking for thousands for an used dining room table with burn marks and scratches), no one wanted to buy anything. Again, we asked her again and again to remove the furniture from our house, or at least let us dispose of it by donating it.

Eventually, because she responded less and less, weekly reminders turned into monthly reminders turned into a reminder every few months or so. Then, out of the blue, like two years after our last email to her, she sends someone to "collect" the furniture. Better yet? She didn't show, and the person picking it up, another "friend," told us she didn't want to deal with us herself because she was completely angry at us for not selling her furniture for her and is thus demanding her furniture back!

My parents and I are absolutely livid at this point. Not only did they go out of their way to post up listing of the furniture for her, they also stored the furniture for her for free for FOUR YEARS. Who does that? All they got was shit talked behind their back. So they curtly told the man to leave, and that should she want to pick up the furniture, she would have to come personally and pay a storage fee (something like $50/year/furniture) in exchange for their trouble. Or else, all of the furniture would be donated.

I should mention that this woman owns her own real estate company and lives comfortably and should have NO reason to be stingy about the furniture money.

Thus comes the he said/she said game. The woman sent an angry text - through the man, mind you - about how she's known all along that we were gold-diggers out for her shit, and how if we can charge her a storage fee, she should have charged my mom for the hours she spent on the phone with her during their brief friendship (the quote used was "her debt to me [for listening to her phone calls] should have been up in the thousands already"). She then goes on to say that my parents are the absolutely worst people she's ever met, and "the bitches" have "ugly hearts." She then ends the message with how she no longer cares for the furniture and doesn't want it back anyway - it's been "tainted by their gross smell."

How do you think we should respond???
