The Daily Rant Thread

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Maybe I should explain a little more in depth cause I dont feel the amount of gratification I should from ranting/venting. I'm a flag time automotive technician. Flag time is similar to commission. The more you do, the faster you do it, the more you make. You can't do things fast when you spend half your day (A day that starts at 830am vs my 6am) sitting at your tool box watching YouTube. Maybe get up and actually work, sweat a little, make an effort. Yet they find plenty of time to complain to me that they dont make enough hours. I have no sympathy for lazy people. If you want it, work for it. I think thats a principle our younger generation in this country is blissfully unaware of and its starting to tick me off.

This is what I was trying to say. I’m tired of lazy people half-as*ing everything.

I know right? And then when I tell them how lazy and incompetent they are, I end up in HR talking about feelings. F ME. I got a feeling for ya lady! Srry, Ill stop now. Carry on.

Its the same stuff isn't it???

not really a rant per se, but idk where else to post this. i just caught a very small lizard (tip of the nose to the end of the tail maybe 3 1/2 inches) in the break room. how it managed to get into the middle of the warehouse and wonder into the break room is beyond me. it was pretty easy to catch. didn't even really try to get away. anyway, it's been freed in the bushes out front.

I've seen a bunch in the warehouse here over the years. Inch long to full grown.

Been finding a few of these little guys in the warehouse too. I catch them and put them in the bushes out front and hope the birds don't get them.

Those are just babies, back in May I caught and relocated an adult, about 8" long. Can't leave them in the shop, they will get squished. They don't run well on polished concrete.

If I can't buy it on a disc and play it without internet connection, I'm not buying it.
Companies change the terms of the sales ALL the time.

Are you getting anything more for the extra $10 or just getting extra screwed for $10???

Its BS either way really.

you gotta ditch that Xbox crap and get yourself a Super Nintendo.

To me personally? Absolutely nothing

And here's the issue...
So many people are trying to get on and cancel and unsubscribe to it, it's crashing the site. Or Microsoft is intentionally making it broke so people can't cancel. Wow.

Can I mod Forza horizon 5, or if/when 6 comes out on Nintendo? I got a Wii, I also got a NES and SNES.

Exceptionally common practice. Sign up for a gym in 5 mins in person. To cancel, you have to write a letter and mail it, certified...
Companies do it intentionally... happens all the time.

Be VERY careful who you allow 'auto-payments'.

A 50% increase in price SHOULD be offering customers a wholennew experience! SOMETHING for such a substancial increase.

I'm glad to hear ppl are fighting back and cancelling in such large numbers!

Companies NEED to be told that THIS is not ok!!!

who cares. you can play Mario Kart, F Zero, Super Off Road, Top Gear, Micro Machines. and don't sleep on Stunt Race FX, Rock N' Roll Racing, F1 ROC, and Uniracers.

I’m on night 11 of working straight and still have 9 more days to go. 🫩 It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t cooped up in this tiny room all night and was able to walk around.

I’m starting to get cabin fever… at least the paycheck will be good and it’s the whole reason I even agreed to do this. Should be over $6k after taxes. Thats about the only enjoyment I’m getting out of this

I’d much rather be in a boat than yours, that’s for sure. They’ll get you fixed up eventually though and you’ll be back to whatever it is wookies do! Will they still let you fly the ship?
