I don't usually rant online, but today is exceptionally pissing me off.
1. After returning from a hike in the mountains yesterday, a few "friends" told me that they wanted to go with me today and hike / rock climb / hang out / whatever. When I get up and prepare to go, nobody will answer their phone, no text replies, and two of them won't even answer their door when I damn near break it down by knocking. Don't tell me to pick you up in the morning if you're getting too fucked up the night before to wake up and be ready to go. At the very least, tell me "maybe" or "if I'm not too hung over" and I will understand. A "yes" means just that; YES I AM GOING...
2. Fair weather friends / users, you all really piss me off. You call me whenever you need help lifting / moving / hauling something, but it's too much to ask when I need some help moving a heavy object. I helped some of you move cars, trucks, pianos, piles of concrete blocks, furniture, etc,etc... When it's time for me to move some heavy speaker cabinets around, you always have something better to do, like: grocery shopping, baby sitting, laundry, bullshitting around, or whatever. It's not like I suddenly sprung it on you. I've been asking for help for a F-ing week now. F you, I don't need your help; I just busted my F-ing ass and moved them all by myself. Yay me! Now I'm sore as hell and pissed off... ...at you.
3. To my lovely Internet service provider: Could you possibly provide a more pathetic generic trouble message on your 24-7 customer service line? I mean, "We're sorry, but we are currently having technical difficulties which affect service in some areas. We are working as fast as we can to restore service in the affected areas." WTF? It's been 4 hours! How long does it take to resolve an OSPF/BGP routing issue? Just bounce the damn interfaces, reset the routing tables, and be done with it. I might also mention that the Internet is really sloooooow tethered to my cell phone.
4. Idiot drivers have a special place on my shit list. To the idiot in the left lane with 3 miles of traffic backed up during rush hour: Move up or move the F over. If I was behind you, I would hit your ass just to get you off the road so others could drive. To the idiot that waits at an intersection until I get closer, just to pull right out in front of me and drive 10 MPH under the speed limit: You are a F-ing idiot. Hand over your driver's license and walk... ...or just kill yourself. To the idiot that drives 5 MPH under the speed limit, then floors the accelerator when I go to pass them: I've got some enlightening news for you. My 444 cubic inch (7.3L), 575 horsepower (43,720 kfm/s), 615 ft/lb (834 Nm) petroleum-sucking, hydrocarbon cloud-belching, stage-3 programmed turbo diesel engine is bigger than your piece of shit eco-friendly battery powered Prius. I am passing you because you are an idiot who can't drive. Do you think that honking your horn is really going to change anything, other than wasting electricity which in turn causes your "green" engine to emit even more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere? Enjoy breathing that huge black cloud of diesel soot, asshole.
