I have about 2 things that i want to complain about but i'll keep the other one for next week.
I want to complain about whats been happening with me and my friends at work this week. I don't know why i constantly find myself in this predicament where people try to rephrase my words. so i have a coworker that we get along very well. In fact i think others are a bit envious as we have worked together for about 9 years and are best friends. while most other people constantly complain about their co workers. we don't. A bit about my coworker-Melvin- He is the nicest guy in the world. Very hard working and helpful. As someone who works with challenging patients at times, having him around is very valuable. He is is always willing to help and has the best attitude ever. In short, his kind is simply rare. Even when i get mad at him i still don't want to work with anyone else- He is also a multimodality employee and works in other departments.
So one day i had to leave and go home and my coworker Melvin was logged into the computer. He had to sign out so the next shift can use it- he forgets pretty often to do that. At that time, Melvin was in Cat scan giving the Cat scan guy a break. So when i go over there to remind Melvin to log out, the guy says why don't i log out for Melvin. I said because i can't, i don't have his password. and he says i should be able to. I was like how? i would if i could. i guess it doesn't seem like a big deal now, but at the time it bothered me because i don't want to give the impression or be made to look like i want to make Melvin do every single thing. He works hard and i never want to take him for granted and when people make comments like that it offends me.
So when i met the Cat scan guy on his way to lunch i asked him 'how do you expect me to log into him account when i don't have his password' and he goes 'you guys are pretty close, i thought you have his password'... i just said 'u crazy'. i felt a little bad after because he is an older guy also and i don't want to be disrespectful but i hope that made him realize that i didn't like what he said.

This is my submission......

What reallypisses me off are the world politics....at one hand we leave no stone unturned to stop communalism.....on the other hand we choose mad persons to lead the world...(look....I didn't mean him.....y are u always after trump)......
On one hand we talk about Human rights and in the other hand we are bombing the hospital's of syria...schools and what not......
On one hand we talk about the importance of world peace.....on the other hand we are celebrating every nuclear advancement.......

On one hand we are talking about unemployment and on the other hand everyday some robot is taking the place of human body and thus creating more mess than the benefit...yeah

.no doubt technological advancements are must to survive but at least those jobs where a Han family survives should not be sold to robots .....

On one hand we talk about peace on the other hand we are tearing apart the middle East in pieces......

It really pisses me off

People in aiports!!

I travel for a living, and I understand that not everyone does, but C'MON people! You are not the only one that has somewhere to be!!! These annoying air travelers come in a few varieties.

People Who Randomly Get Assigned Pre-Check by the Airline
These f'ers kill me. I have a true TSA pre-check. This means no shoe removal, no laptop removal, quick walk through and on your way. It's supposed to be a shorter line. But now airlines are giving people pre-check for no reason. So they're not seasoned travelers, unpacking their liquids, unpacking their laptops, taking off their shoes. Looking for their IDs. NO!!!! Now they have to take the time to put everything they took out but didn't need to back, comment and chat me up about how nice it is to be able to do this. Ummm, yeah, I know. I'm a true PAYING pre-check traveler. And you just cost me 30 extra minutes in line.

People Who Think Bitching Will Fix a Broken Plane
If you want to know the true goodness of a person, watch how they react when the plane is late to take off due to technical issues. They carry on, they yell, they threaten to sue or write a nasty letter. Uh, yeah, because writing a letter is going to get us on a plane any sooner? Write your letter, get your $200 flight voucher, but lady, we're still not getting on this plane on time. And do you really want to?? They're telling us the plane is unsafe. Let's think about this a minute. They yell at the poor unlucky agent at the gate, who clearly is responsible for breaking the plane in the first place. Then when they're done doing that we get to hear them call everyone they know and repeat the whole drama sequence again. How they just HAVE to be there on time. You know, unlike the rest of us at the gate that have absolutely nowhere to be at all (eye roll)

Business Travelers Who are the Most Important Person in the Universe
These are my favorite. Suit and tie types, who feel the need to pace the gate area and talk on the phone with their ear piece in. Now, I don't run a Fortune 500 company or anything, but I do have an executive level title at a reasonably large corporation. I, too, have phone calls to make. Yet I really don't feel the need to involve the entire gate in my professional business. They're on the phone, but they're not fully engaged in what they're doing. They're looking around at the crowd, making sure to notice if the rest of us lowly commoners are noticing them. They're very careful to throw out as many corporate buzz words as humanly possible. You know, because they're smarter than you and me. Again, scanning the crowd to be sure they're being noticed. When it's time to take off, they are also the same people that refuse to power down, and actually give the "just a second" hand gesture to the flight attendants when told to hang up.

Some call it good people watching, but when you travel every single week it really becomes annoying. You realize how completely clueless half the population actually are, while the other half are totally self-absorbed. By the time I'm seated, all I can do to keep my sanity is put the earbuds in, turn up the volume, and hope I fall asleep.

I'm too sleepy to come up with a good rant right now and that really rubs my hemorrhoids the wrong way. Does that count as a funny rant? hehe ;)

Maybe I misunderstood. I saw funny in the tags so I assumed that the rant should try to be humorous. I suppose/know that my sense of humor is odd and that my "rant" was kind of weird.

In any case, I will call this my official rant. I'm occasionally REALLY pissed off that (many/most) people don't understand my attempts at humor. I laugh at or about most serious kinds of things. Either it's a coping mechanism to laugh at pain, etc., because of the more or less common experiences of serious shit in my/everyone's lives, or I actually have a cruel heart?

Also, I find almost all "jokes" to be boring/not funny because they tend to be so DAMN unoriginal or derivative to such an extreme that I wonder if any or most people can or ever do have new thoughts or are they just mindless parrots copying and pasting other people's jokes into and from their brains. Humor is in the eye of the beholder and I think most people are beholding garbage in their heads that is simply stupid or not funny. I said it, I meant it, and anyone who disagrees with my rant can stub their toes on a skunk's ass. END RANT.

I totally get you @lundgreenman . I am the guy that laughs his ass off only to be told that it was not a joke . I think people take themselves too seriously. life is too short . Life is pretty laughable when you’ve been through enough shit. I thought your hemorrhoid rant was hilarious

Thanks! I agree that life is too damn short (and too often shitty) and why should I take myself seriously? Pretty much no one else does.... hahaha :)

Thanks, you were right... probably. (but don't tell anyone) hahaha :)

P.S. I guess I have a contrarian sense of humor that only other contrarians understand. We are a rare breed. No, we are not. Yes, we are. Am I nuts? Yes and NO. :P

Wow I didn’t think I had a rant I’m the guy that doesn’t complain because I truly believe no one gives a fuck but there is something that’s been bothering me lately , I don’t understand how you could vote for Trump to be president But be so ashamed and you do not not to tell anybody that you voted for him and now with the net neutrality thing you want to post on Twitter talking shit about tromp like you did not vote for him here’s the thing if you voted for trump and you don’t like what’s happening you should not get to ramt without first apologizing to the world for voting for him in the first place bitch .

If people can't get their kids to shut up during a movie, they should not bring them to a movie theater.

Yes, it includes disney movies, lego movies, or any other movies.

I just watched Coco and it was a very emotional movie, but whatever positive experience I may had for the movie is ruined by the constant outdoor voice talking of this one kid who wouldn't shut the heck up every time an animal comes on screen, she wouldn't stop talking during the emotional scene either.

I have as much right to enjoy the movie as you or your children. I don't blame the children but I blame the adults who bring their kids into a theater and let them talk the entire fricking movie like they are entitled to it because they are kids.

I understand some parents wants to spend time with their children watching a movie in a movie theater, it's a good parent-children bonding experience. But if your children cannot keep their Big mouths shut for 2 hours during a movie maybe they are not fricking ready for it. Your family happiness doesn't supersede mine, I paid the same price as you so shut the hell up in theater or wait for the DVD to come out.

At last, this is what I want to say to all you movie talkers out there.

It's so annoying to see people loving their dogs more than anything else. They are more excited to see their dogs more than their own friends and family. This drives me nuts.
It Just drives me nuts. Friends, family, new acquaintances -- it's like pulling teeth to have a semi-intelligent conversation with anyone these days. Then you see them walk in the house to their dog, and it's like they've been holding back all day. Suddenly they're this excited, energetic person because they see their dog. Their dog that they make sit up in their apartment for eight hours a day while they're at work.

What the heck is it with our society and dogs? People are freaking obsessed with their dogs. Spend more money on their dogs than anyone else in their lives. Talk about them incessantly.

I even heard an old couple the other day talking to their "grandson" on video chat. It was a FREAKING DOG. Their daughter is single and has a dog. They call this their "grandson."

This is a mental illness. Baby replacement syndrome. A manifestation of chronic loneliness. A resentment of one's own humanity in favor dogs. Call it whatever you want, just drives me nuts.

I walk in to my mother's house today -- none of us have seen her in six months -- and the dog is the first thing anyone goes to hug. What the HELL? This woman raised you, and this dog you've only known for three years, and you only see it every few months.

Dogs are not people. They are gross animals. You pick up their poop with your hands. They can be great additions to a family, but they are not "members of the family."

This made me So MAD, I told my sisters the story of my college friend who breeds hunting dogs in rural Arkansas. If he can't sell one after a few months, he shoots it. Because it's a dog. Because he can't afford to keep feeding a dog that no one wants. Because people out there would laugh at taking a dog to the "animal shelter." Because they are poor and dogs are tools for hunting, not "family members."

My sisters were all horrified. Thought it should be illegal. Because "that's so sad!" Well lots of things are sad. I stepped on a rare beetle the other day. That's sad. Should we make that illegal? Because it's "sad"?

Give me a break. Our society needs to grow up. Have kids. Work with the poor. Sacrifice your time to help those in need. Then come back and decide whether your dog is your "baby" and worth spending thousands of dollars a year to ensure their lives are perfect.

Thought I wouldn't need to come back here to do this but life's not just fun. I'm not necessarily the most emotional person/girl anyone's gonna meet but I am me that has to count for something. Everyone is always wanting me to be more understanding, more considerate, I'm like why can't people just accept me for who I am. It's not like I don't try. The effort I put in, no one has ever come to tell me thank you for it and believe me from my side, it's a very big effort but people don't just understand because most times they meet me on my good days. Why is it that everyone likes you on your happy days but once you get a sad day, it's like gbam, you're anathema to them. A person comes with the good and bad so why do people always just want only the good side. Personally I think that's just bs the funny thing is that they always want you to take all of them and love all of them. I dunno, maybe I shouldn't be ranting about my relationship here but seriously, sometimes it kills. I really wish I could be more specific but it seems even I can't rant about whatever the hell I want to rant about because of some silly invisible code that says such things should be kept private. Blah blah blah. Jeeeeez. I'm so pissed at the universe right now. Love shmove😒😒😒
