The Daily Rant Thread

[WickedFog]

Get a bunch of people to boycott for a month. They will scramble trying to get everyone back. People have power when used all at once.

We need a thread documenting all the products that have been shrinkflated, gone from being one that works, to one that don't, all while having their prices jacked up higher than a Redneck's truck nuts on his 48" Groundhawg equipped rusty Chevrolet square body. And we need to start calling these bastards out for screwing us over - in packs of pissed-off old farts ranting and raving.

I have never really been one to contact Kellog's, or Quilted Northern, or any of the big corporations feeding us their overpriced crappy products. I just don't buy their shiit anymore. But in the last 3 years, seeing my quality of life and every product I have grown accustomed to buying take a nose dive, all while these greedy mo-fo's inch their prices way up, I've become completely fed up. I've been on a rampage with all kinds of companies. Horizon, Walmart, Doordash, this one company that makes this food that ants love, and sell it as "Ant Killer", and yes, Quilted Northern, Cottonelle, and Kellog's cereal.

For example...
I've been buying Quilted Northern Ultra Plush shiit paper since before Breydon was born, who is now 13.5 years old. I buy the extra great big huge packs of 36 quintuple triple double rolls, or whatever stupid size they use nowadays. I typically go almost 4 months before I have to buy another bail of TP.

Well, I have a very particular wiping routine. A roll of the aforementioned Ultra Plush will... like clockwork, last me a little over 3 days. I use nearly the same number of squares every wipe, and wipe the same number of times before grabbing the wet wipes... 4 squares per wipe does the trick. And I can swear on a bible and say I haven't stuck my finger though a wad of TP in more than 10 years... until recently. Ultra Plush was always soft like Kleenex damn near, and strong enough to get the job done without any surprizes.

Well awhile back, for shiits and giggles, I tried Sam's Club brand. Then I tried a couple others. They all SUCKED! After finding out how the peasants live for a few months, I went back and ordered another supercalifragilistic mega quadruple double bail of QNUP. I just cracked open that bail and grabbed me a brand new roll 2 days ago, all giddy I would be wiping like a king again. And after "2 DAYS"!!!... that roll is empty. And I stuck my finger through it and up my ass AT LEAST a dozen times just using up that one roll, all while making my ass feel like I was shiitting on a fire ant hill in Jurassic Park during those two days.

So needless to say... Quilted Northern is on my shiit list. Literally. And they will likely be getting a nice long nasty snail mail, written on shiit stained Ultra Crap toilet paper that I wiped my fingers off with. And until they put it back the way it was, you'll find me contradicting those bastards on every social media platform I catch them lying to folks on.

you now if you had a Super Nintendo you could play every day. or not play for 6 months and then pop in a game and play it in it's entirety for free.

Yeah. Whoever is the first person to add micro-transactions to computer games needs to be strung up by their toenails and tarred and feathered.

Thats just CRAP!!!

The next paper that your finger pokes thru should be the paper you write your complaint on and mail in!

i have these TV commercials stuck in my head and have no idea why. ...also seriously wondering if the actor is Anthony Tyler Quinn...

Dont even get me started on microtransactions. Games in general just suck now. Lazy development, bloated file sizes, zero optimization and micro transactions littered everywhere. Modern game development fell off sometime in 2015 and I haven’t been able to sit down and enjoy one in years.

While I’m fired up… I may as well bring up subscriptions. Nothing makes me return a product faster than pulling it out of the box and finding out I need an app to use it or more than half of its usefulness is locked behind the need to buy “attachments.”

Changing terms AFTER the sale.. adding a paywall... if its connected, I'm not... 99.999% of the time.

Drive 19 miles just to have my blood Dr. tell me great news, no phlebotomy.
I already know this because I do use an online chart.
Waste of gas and time.

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

I dont know what a phlebotomy is but I'm glad you dont have it. Sounds painfull.

Basically it's a blood donation and because my blood is so thick, they have to use a needle the size of a drinking straw seems like
so it is painful.

I won't complain about being stuck again.

800 for my thinners a month. And I'm stuck until I get funds.

Booze is cheaper and it thins blood.

I was going to start the retirement process last week, but our HR rep was let go a couple weeks back.

Asked the boss who we had for HR, he got me a name. Emailed that person, but they are on vacation...

I'm sensing a conspiracy afoot!

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

they're repaving the street at the end of the building i work in. signs say no parking from 9am to 5pm 10/6. they didn't start working on it until about 2pm.
not sure i should complain very loudly. cause the noise, dust, and smell of asphalt is getting kinda bad and if they had started at 9am i would have to deal with that longer so...

crazy thing is, that street didn't need to be repaved. there are much worse streets within walking distance they could/should have done.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Drive 1/2 hour to the Dr. office, sit in one room for a 1/2 hour, sit in another room for a 1/2 hour, and hear the same crap they tell me every
year. They could have called.

Same story every year here... they just finished repaving the road at the end of my street too.
Mid October! About 2 months before the plows come and peel the whole thing up again.

Its a REAL nice piece of road for an on road car right now tho.

If only you had one that works!!

I think a 10 pack of servos should get me closer...

Pretty sure the last thing to figure is batteries. I have a couple small pack to get me going at least.

Nitropro sells those 10 pack custom deals. They would all say " Kyosho RULES!!! " on them!!!

That TF3-R is DYING to go for a rocketship rip on that sticky pavement!!!
Its like a mini Optima Mid!!! I actually can't wait to get it running again!

The green house and the big house and the 1:1 cars are keeping me busier than I'd like to be tho.

Waiting on the final approval for a $48k loan to resolve a major house foundation issue. It's not an emergency issue, but it needs to be resolved, better sooner than later. UUGGHHHHH
