I decided to open up this thread (and sticky it for that matter) because I've noticed that there are a lot of people in the world and on this board that like to rant and/or complain.
This is the official thread where you get to let it all out.
Bad day? Annoying friend? Pet peeve?
Let it all out here.

How befitting. I had one of the most asshatery days ever today. I may enlighten us all after I stop breathing fire and uncontrollably shouting curse words like some guy with tourret's.
Let's just say I HATE the traffic in L.A... especially when it makes me 3 hours late to something.

Huh. The few times I've been in, I've actually found LA stop-n-go traffic fairly entertaining. Where else can you see a transsexual sasquatch driving a '70 Stingray? Or a boatload of satin-clad hairless men in a Ford Fairlane?
Bear in mind: (1) I didn't have any place to go in a hurry, and (2) I have since sworn a solemn vow that the ONLY reason I will EVER set foot in California south of Fresno ever again is to reduce Disneyland to radioactive ashes.
But that's a fairly complicated rant for another day.

Don't hurt Disneyland!
Anyway, I hate it when I get in pointless arguments w/ people- especially if the argument is based on something that can't be proven anyway. It just ends up tiring.
I also hate it when people call me "Babcock" during such arguments- the way it's said... it's so condescending.
I also hate it when people talk to you like they're taking a dump in your mouth.

I HATE going on job interviews with a passion. Why can't they just look at your resume, see if you fit all of the qualifications, and hire you? Why must you go through interviews that 10 others are also going for? It's like a freaking competition!
An employer will say that he's looking for experienced employees, but he decides to choose a freaking HIGH SCHOOL kid who just GRADUATED THIS YEAR. WTF?
It's annoying.

To beat the interview people, you have to understand how a human resources cog thinks.
A human resources cog has been hired to do two things: handle employees bitching about their work conditions, and hire warm bodies to fill positions.
A human resources cog has no clue what it takes to be a plumber or an electrician or a sysadmin... so they hire people based on a short list of things that they vaguely understand, and their personal opinions of them after talking to them for 20 minutes.
Your best strategy in trying to get a job anywhere is to leapfrog the retarded HR people and get directly in touch with the person who will actually be your boss if you get hired. They DO have some leverage in the process. Your second-best strategy is to suck up to the HR people by complimenting them on their stylish dress and good grooming.
Just talking about the process makes me feel dirty.

new york must be crazy
It's teeming with flatlanders! How could it not?
Mind you, I have very little against flatlanders that just stay in the city, and I would expect that they would have little against me if I just stayed out of the city.
But there are those occasions. You should see the sorts of people that go to Burning Man. Most of them have no business being on the playa; a week there by themselves would leave them dessicated husks.

My message is unfitting for this board, and I'm not coherent enough mentally to slow down and type it out.
Therefore:
[glow=red,2,300]HATE[/glow]

It's not so much New York but the stuffy atmosphere of the school.

AstralFireWell, now, I'm down with the whole HATE thing. That is a subject I am surely not unacquainted with. Being a nerd will do that to you. But I do hope you'll share some details.
