When I make some long, thought out post about some upcoming fight...full of facts, accurate analysis, and guaranteed outcomes. Basically, Nostradamus-like shit...

...and it ends being the last post on a page and some fucker comes in and posts "FUCK WINKY!!" and bam, new page is created and no one sees my masterpiece.

I really, really hate that.


Post yours....

Shitty service in a restaurant. You don't like your job, find another line of work. But you're there to do your job. I'm very respectful and rarely complain at a restaurant, so usually shitty service happens right from the jump, not because I complained.

Movie theater ticket prices. $9.75? Really?

North Carolina. I was driving through there on the way back from a recent trip to Atlanta. Fireworks superstores everywhere. Is there really that high of a demand for fireworks? Seems like it's filled with a bunch of uneducated hicks as well. Probably the ones that long for fireworks 365 days a year. South of the Border is the tackiest and biggest waste of land ever. And North Carolina BBQ is ridiculously overrated. Pork that tastes like it's been marinated in vinegar? Go fuck yourself North Carolina.

Edit: There are lots of people here in VA that see NC as the promised land or something. It's a cesspool to me.

This is my kind of thread. Here we go:

Meeting the absolute perfect woman and finding out she's already in a relationship. I don't usually bother with relationships but the girl I'm on about is a freak of nature, both in looks and personality.

Stunning women who know how attractive they are, or think they're more attractive than they are. I hate the way they strut around as if they're above everyone else.

Queuing up at a shop only for them to close the checkout when you're starting to get close to the till, meaning you have to go to the back of another queue.

The place I bought my car from wanting £300 to service a car that's only a year old. I think they can fuck off.

ESPN launching an utter shite channel and expecting people to pay £10 a month to watch 46 Premiership games in amongst horse shit like Nascar, Under 11's baseball and Scottish football.

When you allow another car to pull in front of you in traffic and the ignorant pigs don't thank you. Actually, driving in general. What is it that makes normal people act like arseholes when they get in a car?

School reunions. I really don't see the attraction in spending a night with a bunch of people I haven't spoken to for years and explaining to them how shit my life is, whilst they lie about how good theirs is.

I hate that I can't afford to buy a decent sized house in a nice area. It's a nightmare trying to get a mortgage if you're a single bloke.

I've got a feeling I'll post another 3255336 things in the next couple of days. I'm an angry man.

I dont think its that big of a deal. Its pretty much just a style now. I dont think they're all going around acting tough. If I was given a tapout shirt as a gift Id wear if it werent too ugly. Those shirts are the definition of hit or miss.

I like the shirts and I have several similar style shirts myself (of course the Target knock off brand). But that seems to be the "look" for mma fighters. But most of the guys I've seen wearing them just come off like the wannabe mma fighter type and seemingly gives them a false sense of bravado (i guess that's the word I'm looking for). It really grinds my gears!

People thinking I’m bothered about being short (I’m 5’7), I really don’t care. It makes me laugh when people ask me if I wish I was a bit taller.

It annoys me when people use injuries as an excuse for not becoming pro sportsmen. I’ve heard millions of blokes saying it and I can guarantee it’s true for about five of them.

Managerial talk - ‘Let me run this past you’, ‘Let’s brainstorm’, ‘It’s better if everyone’s singing from the same hymn sheet’ and ‘thinking outside of the box’ are all sayings that piss me off.

I hate the monotony of everyday life. I do the same shit at the same time every day.

working retail I have a variation of this:

the asshole who insists on wasting 5 minutes of my time digging around for EXACT CHANGE.

Which they invariably NEVER HAVE, and after turning all their pockets inside out and dumping their whole purse on the counter (for the ladies), they pay with a $20 after all.

I wonder how many hours of my life have been wasted by the Exact Change Posse.
IkeForPrez
NO shit, glock.

The worst are the people that dig around for loose change, don't find the exact amount, and then end up giving you a 5 and three quarters for something that cost $5.61...like that's gonna help. Might as well have just paid $6 and saved everyone's time cuz you still gotta break out 14 cents in change.

Some exact change people are fine- like there's this one little old lady who buys a couple of books a week and always pays in exact change, but she has this crazy old timey metal dispenser thing with all her coins. She hits a couple of buttons and voila, change.

But most of them drive me nuts. They're trying to help, but just end up pissing off everyone.

They're not always trying to help you out, Glock. I do it often just to get rid of change.

I try to use exact change most of the time, but I'm a real pro when I do it. When I approach the counter, I've already separated the different coins into small stacks of quarters, nickels, dime, and pennies. Makes for quicker counting.

But I'm just weird like that because I also stack the bills in my wallet from large bills to small bills starting from the back. My 1's are always up front while the 20's are in back. I can take inventory of how much cash I have in a glance.

A bit neurotic, I know. But I'm also wary of inconveniencing those around me, so if I feel that I'm ever holding up the line or getting on the clerk's nerves, I give up on finding change and simply grab a bill from the back of my wallet. Paying for a pack of gum with a 20 is BALLER!!!

Admin fees. C'mon, what the fuck are they for?

I updated my car unsurance to include a service called "roadside assistance". $80 a year which includes break down service, towing for a certain distnace etc. Got it for the wife more than anything. but then the chick from the company tells me it will include a $50 admin fee. So the tital cost is $120.

I argued that I'm already an existing customer so why the admin fee? She couldn't explain it other than to bs that she needs to update my policy. She knew that wasn't going to convince me that a few touches of the keyboard justifies charging me an extra 50. So when I pressed her further, she said "well, we have to make you up a membership card".

I blow right up "so $50 for a laminated card to carry in my wallet?". She went silent and then resorted to the good old "I don't make the rules". I let the silly bitch know that's fine, but you should atleast be able to explain them.

I ended up apying for it but then they called a week later offering me home contents insurance. I said if you didn't charge me an admin fee last week, I would sign up today. then hung up.

Insurance companies are grubs.

at least half the guys i work with have mullets, half the guys left have ponytails.

when my wife wont let me go disc golfing because she wants to cuddle and watch a movie, them bitches at me all night about money and falls asleep before the opening credits are done.

And bank fees, charges, penalties etc...

Even bigger grubs. So I over-drew on my account a few months back. I purchased something with my visa card (linked to my savings account) at a store and it went through no prob, even thought apparently I had insufficient funds to make the purchase.

I get a phone call from the bank telling me I over-drew on my account and will incur a $35 penalty when my pay goes in. I knew this, so I acted all happy to piss her off and not care one bit that they were penalising me. She got pissed and started lecturing me. I told her to hang on...how the fuck am I suppose to know how much money is in my "joint account with the missus?", should I be online every friggin day to check the balance, or check my balance before making every purchase?...and what about my wifes purchases? should we pass on to each other every purchase we make so we can keep track of the balance?

I then tell her abruptly and rudely...how about you friggin banks and stores get your system right where if I don't have the funds in my account, I CAN"T make a purchase??? Shouldn't that be the way it SHOULD work? She says that some pc's in differnet stores take a few days to go through to the banks so thats why sometimes they allow purchases when their is insufficient funds. Some shit like that anyway, I didn't know what the hell she was talking about. I tell her...not my friggin problem! She says it was. lol

I end it by saying...just penalise me the $35 like you will AND take the money out of my account when I get paid LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO ANYWAY. BUT SPARE ME THE FRIGGIN LECTURE!!!

She says I am contravening my agreement blah blah blah. I told her if that is so, close my account and I'l join another bank in 5 mins and they can charge me all these fees and get my money. Phone call ended. Funny that.

When I'm at work heating up my lunch, or even eating, and someone comes in and goes "MMMM SMELLS GOOD, what you got there?" Why are people fascinated with what I'm eating? Half the time it's a fuckin Lean Cuisine or something shitty like that. Is it really that enticing? Fuck off. Actually small talk in general enfuriates me.

Getting behind a group of fat bitches who walk soooo god damn s l o w and they take up the entire width of the sidewalk so nobody can pass them....working in the city this is a major ballbreaker. What the fuck, don't you disgusting slobs have anywhere to go? Just taking a Sunday stroll on a busy city street at 5:00 on Wednesday? Get out of my way and go find some grass so you can graze.

Yep I was with AIG years ago for insurance on my car. I had been paying them my insurance bill every 6 months for several years. Never got into an accident, never filed any types of claims, but of course the minute I do, they seem to have a fit when I file the claim and do just about everything in their power to find ways to try and NOT cover it. When they finally realize that they need to cover it, I of course have a $500 deductible so I all the money I spent on "insurance" was really just to keep them in business and so that I can keep my car registered and keep my license. Cancel your insurance? They report you to DMV who will also charge you $500 "uninsured motor vehicle fee" (I've had to fight one of those once) and $25-$50 to reinstate your license. It's bullshit. They're all in cahoots.
