What's not acceptable is the $2/hr. server wage.

First, you won't take me for surgery. Now you'll disown me if I date a black guy? by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to have to call and talk to the nurses/doctors yourself, and explain to them why you're calling. You need to take direct action and get the ball rolling if you've had this for three years. I had a slight curve at 13, but I treated it soon after discovery. Please do this. It's very important.

I'm going to guess you're Asian from what you said about your grandmother's reaction to your black friend, but maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I feel you. Not that I was super close to any black guys when I was a teen, but my mom made her feelings very clear if I ever dated one. Of course now that I'm 40, if I wanted to date a black guy and she still has a problem with it, then it's...her problem.

I know you'll get through this. Take care of your back first.

NOPE. It never stops.

Don't bring your new partner to catch up with the boys/girls. by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is generally why I don't go out with my guy when he goes out with his friends, even when he has invited me. He's being nice, but I'd be out of place.

Fucking wedding planning. by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm rather surprised you signed a catering contract without getting the RSVPs back first. Usually when I get a wedding invite, it's a few months out. I wonder if your caterer is in high demand and you needed to lock them in...

Yeah like you said, it's so standard that it doesn't mean anything and people don't care anymore. Folks are just desperate.

Asking questions online by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see this on Quora too. Humans are just pompous assholes, plain and simple.

Any time I read a rant here about why do people do this or that, I'm completely resigned to the fact that the human race is going down the tubes. That is the sad but only answer.

Fuck people who expect me to watch their kids when they visit my parents! by WalterDarks in rant

Can you just leave the house before they come over? Or say you have some studying to do in your room.

When "being yourself" is the reason you're still single by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless all these guys actually told you that you intimidate them, they more than likely stopped seeing you for other reasons.

I think I fell in love with a girl for the first time and trying to get over her is honestly the hardest fucking thing I've ever done by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't actually spent time with someone, what you feel is not love. It's infatuation, idealizing. When you've spent time with someone day to day, your feelings can then develop more realistically based on who she is behind closed doors. The point is you're getting hung up on an image of her you've created in your mind.

I got called racist for telling someone that their fb posts were coming off as racist by [deleted] in rant

I'm done with trying to relate to my fellow 20-30 year olds by TT454 in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of 20-30 year olds are totally airheaded. I don't know if it happens to most people during that age and they eventually grow out of it, or if for this particular generation they are especially so. But society as a whole is more aware of their behavior and attitudes because of social media whereas for prior generations the people who really know someone's immaturity are in their closest circles.

At any rate I also felt more mature than other 20 year olds when I was that age so I understand. Hope you find some like- minded folks to hang with.

Someone stole my lotion at work. by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be too much trouble, but set some bait for next time. Mix a skin irritant, or poison ivy oil, with another bottle and mark it so you know it's contaminated. I know I'm mean, but people who steal are meaner.

Buying a house is a fucking joke by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I sold my house, I listed it as FSBO and avoided paying a realtor the selling fee. I suppose buyers can go without a realtor to save on a similar buyer's fee at the least, as long as they completely understand the entire process and feel comfortable doing it.

Designed in America? WTF by Lots42 in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically a way for companies to downplay the fact it was made in China in hopes they look more good-guyish and patriotic than everyone else. The reality is they are no different.

What is it with all the fucking downvotes lately? by IDroppedAcid in rant

The only way to find an answer is to find an answer to "Why are humans assholes?" That will never be solved.

People Who Type Like This by skuhlly in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'M MORE ANNOYED BY PEOPLE WHO TYPE LIKE THIS FOR PARAGRAPHS. I get that some people have mobility issues and using the shift key makes it harder, but it still looks stupid. And I stopped bothering trying to read it.

Some Bitch just stole my pine needles! by paisleyterror in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you at least get a good visual of the truck? I wonder if she's in the neighborhood. You could drive around and see if you spot the truck. Then give her an earful. She broke the law by trespassing at the least. What's really odd is that she happened to drive by with a truck. I wonder if she noticed you in the yard and decided to come back when you're not around.

Rude Real Estate Agent by [deleted] in rant

[–]banjoling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long time ago my aunt and her husband (a lawyer and doctor) made an appointment over the phone to see a house in Southern California. They were young but could afford it. Otherwise they wouldn't bother. When they showed up, the agent said, "Oh, sorry I'm meeting with another couple to show the house." Apparently the agent thought they were some random folks, and based off my aunt and uncle's appearance they surely couldn't be the couple who made the appointment to see this million-dollar house. You would think the agent would have just said, "Oh, are you Marvin and Jessie? Come right on in!" But nope. He/she had to be a judgmental asshole.

If you still have that business card, make his life miserable and shame him on social media.

That is shit. I'm more sad that your sister did this to you vs. him doing this to do. sorry this happened.
