Rant on and on...
 
I love to rant so here it is. You lot rant as well.

How many times has anyone been reading a book and the word 'til comes up (as in until) but it's spelt till. A till is that fucking thing at the checkout in a supermarket! 'Til is a shortened word for the word until. Therefore, there is an apostrophe in place of the un and the final part of the word. 'til. So why, does it say "and so, the two travelled for days on a diet of bread and cheese till they finally came across it. " HOW CAN THEY CHECKOUT ACROSS IT?! Bloody writers need to get their grammar right!
I would go on but can't be arsed at the moment.

Wait... What's this thread about?

bleeding_angelgirl 04-23-2007 01:46 PM

ranting purly ranting

horrorobsessed 04-23-2007 03:58 PM

rantings cool


FACT OF THE DAY:

till in Latin (as a verb) is

colo, colere, colui, cultus


there's four parts to every verb, i know it's weird, it depends on which tense you're using.

It's a little known fact that any forum board that doesn't charge a membership fee will attract freaks, losers, pedophiles, people who want you to look at their pee pees, and whiney little twit attention whores. (This has nothing to do with anyone posting in this thread, just an observation :P )

Better change that first part to "well known fact". Too bad many unsuspecting people who dont know this, get caught up in such stuff.

The Internet and such free forums attract the sickos and psychos like flies. :rolleyes:

Trouble is, there is no way of knowing what brains own the fingers that type behind the screens. Better be on guard.;)

crabapple 04-23-2007 08:20 PM

I want to mention that I don't like to call it "ranting," nor do I like to see it called ranting. I prefer "yammering and meowling." Much better way of describing.

Aeacus 04-23-2007 08:20 PM

Most of the time the freaks and the sickos go way over board and should be booted on sight but I hate to say it..... At times they amuse me a little bit... You always have to wonder what stupid SHIT there gonna do next.... Than they get to the point ususally in the first day where they piss 90 percent of the people who arn't freaks and sickos off and they need to go

Aeacus 04-23-2007 09:55 PM

After 8 years in the hotel industry its official weekend guests are complete idiots who expect everything for nothing.......I could rant about job all day but will leave it at that

i remember when i was a young lad, my uncle took me to the parade.
where he told me, i'd be the leader of the future.

ferretchucker 04-24-2007 06:39 AM

The trouble with these people is they're clever. They gain your trust before just asking your e-mail so they can keep in touch. With an e-mail address and the right bit of illegal software, a person can find out a lot about you. For instance your name, age, occupation, country of living and a lot more. Then, they go onto a crooked website to find some matches of your name, age and occupation. They get your phone number and start to do weird things. I always have to be on my guide for these people considering my age. That's why it's simple. Don't give out too much of where you live, never give your name or phone number and most of all. DON'T BE A TWAT AND ARRANGE TO MEET THEM!

So's your face.
BUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

I won't rant on and on about it...but it pisses me off when supposed late night/early morning food places that actually advertise to say they're open to say 5am yet seem to shut prior to 3am every night...ok, well, maybe it's just the one place, but it pisses me off.

bloody_ribcut 04-24-2007 09:19 AM

TeleMarketers

why the hell cant they take no for an answer?
they ask if i want to subcribe to a paper, i say no and that should be it right?
wrong, they keep asking and asking and asking.....i dont like to hang up on people but those ass holes make me.

bleeding_angelgirl 04-24-2007 09:33 AM

i hate telemarketers they piss me off. why when you say no they keep trying then call again. so yeah i agree rib

ferretchucker 04-25-2007 07:38 AM

when the door to doors come round my house I invite them in and then go on about stuff like I'll start saying that I was cheated on or that my cat died and go on and on. eventually, they say they have to leave.

stubbornforgey 04-25-2007 09:31 PM

oh..since being the owner of 2 properties..every night around about

6 pmish onwards..i get calls from all kind of finance companies
ranging from insisting that i secure a mortage for another house..
a new car or a boat...or invites to attend seminars on how to save money..:confused:

Shadow 04-26-2007 04:24 AM

When people try to sell stuff to me by phone I let them rant on and on about the advantages, I ask questions and let them believe they are going to make a sale, only to crush their little hearts at the end (after about half a hour) by telling them I am not acctually interested. This of course is only when Im not acctually doing anything otherwise I just go for the "hello? hello? sorry cant hear u!" and hang up approach.

However I now feel bad for these people as they are only trying to make a living, also I might have to be one of those people soon if I dont get an alternative job.

missmacabre 04-26-2007 05:34 AM

My auto-cad teacher and how he never helps me with anything so my marks are shit and I sit on this forum during class every day.

Also, how my class is full of idiots and stoners. Fuck.

i give them a hard time...always.
I understand that this must be one of worst ways to make a living 'telemarketing'
but don;t they realise just how annoying it is.

bloody_ribcut 04-26-2007 06:54 AM

i telemarketed for a year, it's easy when they hang up on you.

ferretchucker 04-28-2007 03:07 PM

yeh, don't you just have less work for the same pay?

Despare 04-28-2007 07:40 PM

Who came to HDC expecting people to be nice? Seriously, all I see now is “that person was the nicest”, “be nice”, or “that was mean”. Who comes to a horror forum expecting people who would rather be singing love songs and skipping around a field tossing flowers around? Do I expect a shred or intelligence in the members here? Sure. I also HOPE for some contribution and maybe a bit of maturity too. Nice though? Maybe you’re in the wrong place…

Im sick to death of filling in application forms. I go to all the trouble to fill them in and I dont even think the people read then, I am yet to go to one interview. Maybe im just doing it wrong. Oh and what I hate more is when they dont even bother to tell you that you havent got the job.

AmericanManiac 04-30-2007 04:10 AM

Give it a week after you turn it in, and call them up. Say something like "hi my name is ______. I turned my application in and I was wondering if you were hiring anybody." Do it once a week or twice couldn't hurt, the more you call the more it looks like you want to work there. You probley do this though, right ?

Yeah I normally give them about a week after the date in which the forms can last be recieved then phone and enquire. Normally I am told that the forms are being processed and I will be notified by post or telephone. In some cases they already have someone lined up for the job but they have to allow others to apply anyway and so when I phone I am told the position has been filled. :(

AmericanManiac 04-30-2007 04:36 AM

then tell them theirs a ____ inthe building, :p

Shadow 05-01-2007 03:42 AM

LOL. Thanks guys some very good ideas but I dont think I am just that desperate to do either of those things. Yeah definalty not that desperate that I would resort to flattery lol.

ferretchucker 05-01-2007 04:06 AM

I hate those snooty school nurses who never believe you when you're ill. You go in there and it's "See how you do next lesson." when you have your fucking intestines ha nging out of your arse! Then they call your house on a weekday when the parents are obviously at work so nobody answers. Then you end up having to go across town to your nans and watch bloody daytime rubbish things like "Cowboys and Indians - The finalé" whilst eating satsumas. The best thing to do is put a bullet through your brain and save yourself from this immense boredom!
