Rant About Whatever

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.

Ordered Thule keys since mine got stolen when my car got broken into.

Motherfuckers wait 4 days to email me and tell that they don't have them in stock and they can send them early september. Now had to cancel my order.

Trying to find out what's in there and what's missing. Might end up just drilling the fucking lock out and buying another one eventually. Idk. Now there's 0 fucking chance I can get one before I leave for CO.

Even paid for 2 day fucking shipping so I would have the key by yesterday. Fucking cunts

SEABURNDrill baby drill


Got into my box today. My hard drives, go pro 3, mic, tripod, and other stuff is all up there. Snowboard gear that I would have rather left in CA is still there. Bummed on that space wise but at least it's not gone.

So in the end all I lost was my dslr, 2 lenses, go pro3+,some keys, change, and other small stuff. Could have been worse.

Damn, there's this one high school in the area where I live that produces the most stuck up, full of themselves douchebags I have ever seen. Its an all boys private school. Not hating on all of them, there are definitely a few cool dudes who went there but also a lot who I fucking hate. I don't understand how you can be so full of yourself that you talk shit constantly even though you can't back it up because you've never actually fought in your life. I can't wait to get back from school this winter break and fight a few of these kids. It'll be fun af.

Confront the dude. Let him know what's up. Ive come to the realization when living with people it's just better to get shit out in the open instead of letting it build.

Yep if I'm alive when the lease is up in a year i ain't signing it again and I'm moving elsewhere just not near state street, and hopefully somewhere I can call my house not my basement. It's not just my house I hear about it from other friends around SLC too, the only thing I want someone to steal next is the huge ass memory foam mattress the lazy POS sublet left us to deal with that we threw outside.

Yeah those are better. I actually drank one that I had stashed in my desk this morning. The iced coffee drinks are just coffee and only $1.50 at the store down the street.
Unfortunately they are like $3 here in my building and they don't have the plain coffee just the double shots or the energy drinks.
Went for the diet Mt. Dew kickstart for $1.25. Some weirdness in there for sure but seems like the right amount of caffeine.
I'd rather plan ahead and never do this again though.

Dont drink energy drinks myself. Coffee in the morning and if for some reason I cant get my coffee I have a few of those mio energy bottles on hand. I have a couple in my car for emergencies like yours.

Oh. Wallet fell out of my pocket at security in denver. Still MIA. Flying to Thailand tonight. Had to get an ultra last minute temp debit, have no credit. Bo travel rewards card while traveling :(

Also friend who said "tell me the next time you're going anywhere" and booked flights with me then went MIA. i might be traveling solo, maybe with a friend, who knows. Yolo.


Also skier friend from the good old local crew days just died and that shits whack. Cool ass dude, as well as his little bro. SIP.

Idk. Your friends are supposed to be immortal or at least that's how I always saw things. Mid 20s is too fucking young.

Young death is weird. Little brother is dealing with it right now too. A good friend of his fell off a balcony in NYC, she was 15. Just such a huge tragedy when it happens, good vibes to get through it, talk with friends, etc.

I find it extremely concerning that my anatomy and physiology professor “doesn’t know” the “new” idea of electron orbitals as opposed to the old idea of shells. Like... what? I learned about orbitals in chem 101 4 years ago. That doesn’t seem new and the fact that you want to stick with the old idea because it’s “easier” is fucking dumb. I also am not paying $800 for this class for you to describe concepts as “the thingy.” THE FUCKING “THINGY” ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I can’t stand it when girls cut bangs. I think girls tell other girls their bangs look cute so they have less competition cuz they know guys don’t like them.
Let’s just reflect back when bangs were popular in the 80s-90s. Mullets and mushroom/bowl cuts were the equivalent in guys fashion. Can you imagine how big of an asshole we’d look like today if we did a mullet or bowl cut?

Th 6 months I had a mullet a few years back few the most fashionable months of my lifes. It got tiring to be so handsome. I recommend it to anyone.

It took me from a 2 to a solid 7 with one drunken late-night cut.

Got locked outvof my hostel. Apparently doorbisnt supposed to ever be locked and thags why it wasn't mentioned.

Dude just got back to me and was seemingly, sincere and helpful but Id already booked another room after getting torn up by mosquitos for 2 hours on the deck. Fuck i got like 10 bites just on each of my elbows.

When you're so stoked to relax and go to sleep and get back and your home is locked its like WATTTTTTTT!?!?!????

Happy at least im not on the street even thiugh i had to book another room. Ill have to work it out tomorrow. Not a person that complains about the small,stuff but jesus this had me frazzled.

Same here. I don’t know how to explain to other people what it’s like to feel respiratory exhaustion but like my body isn’t. It’s kind of awkward to be out of breath just hiking a feature once but my mind, legs and body are like ready to go I just can’t fucking breathe right to make it all work.

Also cats may one day be the death of me/my lungs.

I usually tell people it’s likr after you’ve run or worked out and you’re exhausted. Like fast breathing, pretty labored except that’s every day for me.

Every now and then you get that one true asshole when you make calls at work. I called this dude who had accounts with us and noticed could benefit by the mark of 600 dollars a year simply by switching the type of savings account he had with us. I introduced myself as the banker and asked if he had a minute to hear how I can help him save roughly 600 more dollars every year.

His reply, verbatim (in old guy who doesn't like that he'll he dead in 20 years drawl): "Well I don't appreciate you calling me during my workday with some Bullshit story. You can go fuck yourself!"

I get that people dont like receiving sales calls, but this wasn't even a sales call, just me introducing myself as his local branch's banker with a way to help him save more money at little to no effort. I cant wait to get past this retail phase of banking

You guys are absolutely right, I hadn't even considered that someone would question whether or not I legitimately worked where I work. I dont like that I have to make calls to people, but it's part of my job and I dont bullshit around with my job, I do what I do to get paid. Gonna have to do some rethinking. Thanks guys
