Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.
I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.
safarisamMy work refuses to give me a set schedule, unlike everyone else who works there. I've been here three years and am treated kinda like shit. It's so hard to make plans when you have no idea when you'll be working next.
I had a job that kept doing that to me, when I was hired I was like I need you to accomodate my night class schedule and they were like sure no prob. Sure enough, every two weeks the schedule would come out and I’d be like, you scheduled me for Tuesday wtf? And they would be like well now you need to get someone to cover you. Fucking pricks. I got fed up and no call no showed those assholes. They are bankrupt now, burn in hell.
On the verge of quitting my job to work in slc, but if the 2 other kids also quit like we all say we are, I will stay if I get paid more. Not sure how much longer i wanna drive up parleys before winter though, couldve also just got a nice chunk from the US post office from their driver almost driving into me, fuck.
safarisamExactly, I have no possible way to make plans. I only get paid $11 an hour. I applied to a few places yesterday so hopefully I’ll get a few calls?
Good luck. Hopefully you'll find more consistent hours at least.
I broke my seatpost clamp messing with my saddle height. I had to order a new one from the bike manufacturer since the frame uses a odd shaped one. Not riding is killing me.
Roommates choice in sublets this time around sucks, last guy who left was always out of the house 8 or 9pm, now the new sublet, random trashy women sucks. Said it was just her, now has her bf and son (sometimes) living here and they just sit in their room all day and it's annoying as fuck, their room is next to the bathroom which sucks too.

BigPurpleSkiSuitYou've been sounding pretty miserable lately so I was wondering what you might move on to instead of that
I like the job itself, the people running us sick though, girl sits around her fiancee's shop all day and cant get our schedules right half the time, never any details when there should be. Just gotta find a job in SLC, its mobile so going to people houses kinda sucks, although some of them are insane in PC.
Look for a different shop perhaps, I live in Murray and I know of several guys who started their own down here, although they aren't doing too great from what I can tell

Gotta check one out next week I've talked to, if I can get into a legit shop that's ideal but I gotta talk to the volvo dealer within biking distance, worked at one back home and doing their cars would be a piece of cake for me. Only trouble is dealerships will drug test, and labcorps is a hard test to pass even with lots of time off.
daannnnieeli owe much wealthier friend money for a bar tab when I thought I lost my wallet..
I have spent many thousands of dollars on us two on very, incredibly irresponsible substances
he tries to get mad at me for literally not having money to give him after I pay my bills and buy food.
I think I just ended a friendship.
I don't think I'm in the right, but my god, getting pissed off at someone who is perpetually broke over 150 is pretty ignorant.
my day got better. Different buddy invites me to a bar that's literally closed, I give him beer out of my backpack after I pay for a bunch of shit for him yesterday, drive him around, ect. Ditches me after he realizes I don't have any cash on me for (____) I'm stuck in the middle of downtown.
I get a ride to his building, call him, tell him to talk to me face to face to figure out what his problem is. he tries to square up when we're both drunk as fuck, starts yelling that i'm causing a scene, gets mad at my sister, general drunken non-sense. (I mean, I shouldn't have went to his apartment building obviously) shake hands.
not sure where I stand with said friends right now. Not sure if I want to continue being friends with said friends.
shit happens? drunken arguments suck? don't daydrink and expect your day to go to plan I guess. Not happy it almost ended in a fight though. I love my friends but god damn shit shit isn't making sense to me as of right now.
Profahoben_212This. You owe someone money you pay it. Maybe you shouldn't be spending 150 bucks at a bar if you cant afford it.
Totally unrelated, but hearing about what kinds of bar tabs people run up always makes me feel so much better about my paltry weed habit. Lordy is it easy to rack up a large bar tab
New sublets dont work it seems like, getting fucking sick of coming home to both of their gross asses here everyday whether its 230 or 7, I'm lazy but these two are lazy fucks oh my God.
Well, I always thought the arrogant ski racer was a myth since the racers I met at snowbird have all been pretty cool. Today at work we had a customer who was the quintessential arrogant ski racer who moved out here.
He came in to one of the tellers stations and started talking about how he came out here to ski 4 months ago. Thenour teller pointed at me and said, oh, he did that too. I then asked him,
"Where do you think you're going this year?"
"I don't know if I'll get a pass since they raised the price of the epic pass from 500 to 531 dollars."
"Oh, so you were going to park city?"
"Yeah i'm a ski racer"
"Cool, are you a college student?"
"No"
"Well, how old are you?"
"22"
"Well, snowbird has cheap YA passes, I got my chair only for 450"
"Don't they have snowboarders there though?"
"Well, yeah... they also have the best terrain in utah, if you don't like snowboarders there's always alta.
(Keep in mind i'm at work so I can't be mean to him)
Him: "I mean, I also don't really want to be a ski bum, since I feel like it would be a waste of my life."
Now I'm not really a ski bum since I work 35 hrs a week and do college, but I certainly am a lower class skier so this really got under my skin. I just wanted to tell him, "Well what the fuck are you? You're working at a restaurant at 22 living off your mom's money and you're worried about being a ski bum? Except you don't ski or go to school, so you're just a bum who I'd wager sucks at skiing cause you're from Minnesota and are clearly a stuck up arrogant racer kid who never skied a real mountain and is scared of snowboarders. Fuck off back to Minnesota you pompous douche, we don't want you here.
Ok that felt good, I doubt he's on here, but I hope he reads this. If you do, your name starts with m and you're a fucking bum. You bum
Edit: the ski bum comment was clearly a shot at me both from how he phrased it and his body language, otherwise I wouldn't be really pissed. He was also just extremely negative in general.

Just got a message from the boss offering to pay for me to go to a conference in Atlanta in November. It's the kind of thing a lot of my coworkers would be begging to do but I don't want to go the airport here I don't want to fly go to the Atlanta airport and I don't want to take the chance of missing a ski day in November. Also they are going to film the whole thing and publish all the stupid power points that the presenters just read from anyways.
Gonna have to tactfully decline somehow.

I worked at the bird for a little bit (in hotels). I love skiing there but there are some absolutely hilariously rediculous human beings that frequent that place and are "locals". Gigantic piece of shit burnouts living off a trustfund with so much entitlement, its almost painful.
Theyre the type of people who want Five-star Waldorf Astoria levels of service without forking out the money for it. Fuck a good majority of those timeshare owners at the cliff lodge. At least DV folk are dicks but are willing to pay out the ass for stuff.
Fuck parleys, people dont know to go fast in the left lane, truckers cut you off as they please to get around other truckers, and geriatrics cut into your lane within inches of your bumper, then brake check you, then cut someone else off merging onto 80 in Slc. Hope you enjoyed my middle finger and horn you stupid fuck.
Would've loved a new car from his insurance, but glad I got to be home on time.
Snowbird kooks and hardo locals have conditioned me to now ski with both earbuds in when solo cuz honestly, I do not give a fuck where anyone is from or what they do. This is skiing time, not tryna network.
If someone wants to talk to me on the chairlift, then yeah, but I'm not gonna stop for anyone in the middle of my runs.

Snowbird gets fun in the spring when Alta closes. This dude seriously asked us one day if we could hold a spot for his buddy (still getting his boots on in the parking lot) in front on a pow day, and how "pow courtesy works."
Every man for himself, dude. This aint a fuckin club.
What planet is he from? The only courtesy you get from me on a pow day is skiiing around you instead of through you.

theabortionatorSome of the best friends I've ever made I met in between jump 2 and 3 of a burly jump line.
sometimes people who ski the same line or run as me I'll see at the bottom, but snowbird doesn't have a park so I don't really know this feeling. Springtime hitting the same jumplines or showing or being shown a new one by some stranger I get this.

I was just joking more as if I was chatting to people while swervin or crushin for speed into the final jump. I ignore the fuck out of people in those spots unless I'm lapping with them or they're telling me somebody is down on the landing.
Clearly my ability to comprehend park humor is lacking.

Some girl who I hooked up with this summer just blew up on me for stealing her juul last night apparently. Funny thing is I haven't actually seen her in over a month. She texted me at 2am and it went word for word like this:
Her: You better give my juul back by tomorrow or trust me I will end it real quick
Me: the fuck you talking about I dont have your goddamn juul
Her: k bye bitch
Me: you texted me at 2am threatened me and called me a bitch. Yea you can fuck right off
Her: ok damn I figured it out with someone dont snap on me like that
Me: figure it out next time before blowing up on me
Her: ok I'm just really mad
Dont take it personal
I'm sorry
(15min later)
Ok whatever
I'm sorry for "overreacting"
Yea fuckin whatever cunt. Alcohol shows true colors. Idk shits kinda funny over a shitty little vape so thought I'd share

you both sound like dipshits! You're perfect for eachother...
WillgumYou're not a dipshit for standing up for yourself. Meanwhile some guys act like doormats when crazy girls accost them.
Exactly, then the crazy girls become even more crazy. Don’t be a doormat, you aren’t helping yourself or the girl you are being a doormat to. I think he handled the situation well.
cory.iyoobExactly, then the crazy girls become even more crazy. Don’t be a doormat, you aren’t helping yourself or the girl you are being a doormat to. I think he handled the situation well.
Exactly my thought process. I wouldn't take disrespect like that from anyone so why would I make an exception?
Big hood to coast relay thingy is starting tomorrow at Timberline. Cold forecast tonight and I have tomorrow off. Grrrr. Don't want to drive up to a potential shit show in the parking lot but I have no idea what it's really like.
