From the files of...."You know what REALLY pisses me off?"

[Rick2583]

I'm taking Ron's advise to start this thread for the sole purpose of VENTING about things that piss you off or just things in general that have you asking.......WTF???

I'll start with this.................

No secret here........baseball players with there stupid tilted caps. Take some pride assholes.

The term AFRICAN AMERICAN, In all my 60+ years of life I have not only never known any black that was BORN in Africa but also only heard of a handful that had even visited Africa. IMO the only group of people that have the right to be called ------AMERICANS would be the Asians since most of them were actually born there or AT LEAST there parents were.

AND..........White guys that wear do-rags or corn rows or try to sound like ignorant thugs.


To be continued.....

I don't care for any of that hyphenated American BS. And to go a step further I consider myself a Native American. I was born here served in this countries Military in war and peace. My ancestors may have come from Ireland 200 years ago but when I went to Ireland that didn't count for shit. The locals referred to me as American and I've carried that nationality as a badge of pride. My significant traces her ancestry back to England so in conversation with an English couple we know informed her that was fine but to them she's still American. If the "African Americans" went back to the root countries I'm sure that the locals there would consider them as not "being from here. Tilted caps and backward caps are a pet peeve of mine, ditto people who address me as "Bro". I come back with I have one brother, lives in Ohio, you aren't him.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Pineda and Rodney wear their caps disrespectfully, because their heads are not on straight....


It dawned on me after seeing as much in the last 20 years, One cannot work a legit JOB, with low riding pants. So every time I see this shit, I realize these assclowns are unemployed POS, who don't want to work.

I never ever have seen any Laborer in Industry or Commerce, who wore low riding pants, they would fall off....

A connection with Race, Sociological Groups, Horrendous Work Ethics, Un-Employment; and a fk you attitude to potential employeers, as well as all society who wears their pants how they were supposed to be worn...?

I've always believed, if you want a good job, they are out there to be had. It may not be as high paying or have other benefits one seeks, but their are jobs out there, but obviously low-riders have no intent to work, otherwise they'd look and act respectable.

No intent to work, no intent to finish an education, let alone seek a higher education than H.S. Tho' I'm not putting down those who don't seek a Degree, as some of the best workers I've known had no degrees, yet they sought to advance their skills at every turn...

WTF- does this Nation have to look forward too...?

Me, I can't wait for the next Civil War.

 

[Rick2583]

Good points Michael, I'll add a few more, Okay the wearing of pants that hang down below your ass is obvious. so lets go with these...........



EBONICS, Damn am I glad they didn't except this crap as part of the English language. Having to say "YO! WASSUP?" just because some people are to fucking ignorant to say, "Hi, how are you".
BELEED DAT! (Believe that), EIHT! (Alright) etc.

A disgusting habit many men have that you see mostly in baseball, the art of placing one's finger on the outside of one nostril while blowing crap out from the other (In public) SICK!

To me a sports uniform is just that a UNIFORM, wear it with some dignity & respect. You're earning a great deal of money to be a PROFESSIONAL! at least you can do is behave like one. And its got to be a sorority thing among pitchers as they are the only assholes that do it. Just once I'd love to see a manager who had balls walk up to someone like CC, Pineda, Rodney etc & straighten there hat out.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

On my second tour in Germany I was assigned to an Assault Helicopter Company that had a mission to support NATO operations. Really cool because we supported many different countries on Field Training Exercises. In late '76 we were assigned to work with a British Infantry unit in Northern Germany. Prior to that deployment a man asked me "Yo Sarge, whatchu know about the Britishes. Told the young man that I'd been to England a couple of times, worked with them in Berlin as well and that they were pretty cool. He then asked me "Do they speak English". I almost fell over backward, evidently I must have mispronounced ENGLAND in my explanation. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Rick2583]

Stupid hand signals.

To continue a rant-

A pet peeve, Shit made in China, and the Companies that sale predominantly Chinese Shit-
Dollar Store-
Walmart- & Sam's Club
Target- (not as bad)
Home Depot

http://themindunleashed.org/2015/03...isabilities-cancer-and-serious-illnesses.html

(excerpt) -
Testing results for 164 dollar store products such as toys, jewelry, school supplies and other household items, that found over 81% (133 of 164) contained at least one hazardous chemical above levels of concern.

• 49% of products tested (80 of 164) contained two or more hazardous chemicals above levels of concern;
• 38% of the products tested (63 of 164) contained the toxic plastic PVC (vinyl);
• 32% of a subset of vinyl products tested for phthalates (12 of 38) contained levels of phthalates above the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) limit for children’s products.

In addition, 40% of sales at Dollar stores go toward food products (not tested for this report) — much of which is highly processed with low nutritional quality, and whose packaging is another potential source of toxic chemicals including bisphenol-A (BPA), a synthetic hormone linked to breast and others cancers, reproductive problems, obesity, early puberty and heart disease.


Fortunately, there is a growing movement by mainstream retail and manufacturing brands — including Target and Walmart — to respond to consumer demand for safer products with publicly-available corporate policies that identify, disclose, and replace priority toxic chemicals with safer alternatives. By failing to address toxic chemicals through comprehensive policies, Dollar chains are not only putting their customers at risk, they are exposing their businesses to the fate of companies like Mattel, which lost 18% of its value after recalling toys with lead paint, and Sigg USA, which went bankrupt after failing to disclose toxic BPA in its water bottles.

I only know ONE hand signal, and I'll give you one guess, which one that is......!

[Rick2583]

People using cell phones in trains, buses, movie theaters etc. No one gives a rats ass what time you'll be home, how your day went, what kind of shit you bought at the store or what kind of crap you're making for dinner.

 

[yankeesince59]

...People in the check out line at the grocery store, (usually females with weaves/extensions and fancy finger nails and a gaggle of kids) who, judging by the contents of their piled up cart, eat much better than I do.
...that's fine, but what chaps my ass is that not only does she whip out her food stamp program debit card to pay for it all (they're called EBT cards down here)...and she then turns around and passes the very same EBT card to a friend/relative who is directive behind her...one of them is committing a crime and both of them piss me off.

 

[Rick2583]

You're right Ron, I've seen them low life's also.

...^^^

I saw this about a year ago, The Mom, with 4 Kids in tow, all wearing Air Jordan Nike's, all wearing their favorite Football Jerseys, with 3 grocery carts over flowing in a heap.

she checks out with EBT, I thought those kids definitely dress better than I did, especially at that age, and the Mother gets a Box Boy to put all her 3 grocery baskets of food, into a Brand New Cadillac....WTF...?

Another incident, 3 am, getting gas in the freezing windy night, when an old lady approached me, bundled up like she were in Alaska, wrist bands for carpal tunnel (so she said), bums $5 for food she said. I looked around after pumping gas, and saw here walk into a dark adjacent parking lot. She was driving a new Lincoln Towne Car....

I won't give a penny to bums these days. Unless, legitimacy can be established, and that's not to often at all....

...decided to revive my own "peeve" and and a little tidbit to it...this one takes the cake.

...same scenario, I'm in the checkout line except this time a girl with an "EBT card" that is in front of me is talking to a friend/relative of hers who's about 5-6 feet from the cash register who has an empty cart...the girl pays for what must have been at least $250 worth of food with her EBT card and when the cashier gives her the receipt she pushes her cart over to where her friend/relative is.
...the girl with the empty cart then starts taking select items out of the EBT girl's loaded cart (about 1/2) and places them into her once empty cart...when she's done she reaches into her pocket and gives the EBT girl some cash...I SHIT YOU NOT !

 

[Rick2583]

The 1st girl needed cash so she shopped for the 2nd girl, My low life ex wife use to do the same thing with her food stamps after we divorced. Sell the use of your card for cash.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Back in '75 when Cadillac started their downsized Sevilles a common complaint from a certain segment was that the glove boxes were too small to hold welfare checks. I've seen the EBT crap here in St Pete as well. Got no beef with those who really need it but there sure are some "violations"

 

[stampedehero]

I hate when car driving assholes are right up on your ass even through your above the speed limit then they turn off about a 1/4 mile up the road. I hate when I have to make a right turn and the ass hats drive in the right lane when the entire road is clear and they could have cruised in the left lane.
At home I really really hate those reality TV shows where rich bitches belly ache about stupid shit. Only cool birds make me happy!

Add to EBT Fraud, ......

#1- I've noticed quit a few Cig Shops, with tiny almost hidden hand made signs, ie, "EBT Accepted Here". After talking to one store owner, (who's one helluva nice guy; & immigrant from Dubai); explained to him how buying Cigs with EBT is against the laws here. He took his sign down, and within a week; several take down sting OPS have occurred in town here, for this very issue...

#2- One of my 6 Sisters, has worked at Ralph's Supermarket for 29 years now, where we shop for groceries. I was standing in line this week, and some assclown, was going from person to person, asking to buy my groceries, then pay him back in cash. I told him "get the fuck out of here", the next few people just ignored him.

The Store & its personnel have a code they use, when they see this shit happen, and indeed she picks up her phone, says some code to the Supv. and within minutes the LASD appeared, then hooked and booked this guy.

I'd like to know: for every person who needs help, how many are fraudulently abusing this system.

Like the store owner said, they come in ask to use his Debit/Credit system to get money, then complain over the $2 usage fee. The owner has to buy the machine for one, pay for the cable to run the machine, electricity too, then is taxed rather high as a CA. businessman. His taxes; and ours, go back to pay off these frauds...Its a viscous cycle....

 

[Mattingly23NY]

One thing I've seen for a month now, (that has always pissed me off), is: Nurses, who wait on their patients, and are asked by a patient, "when can I get a pain pill", they reply with a canned answer: "It's time you can have a pain pill; and- I will be right back with it", then fkng disappear for 1-2 hours. While other nurses either say, that's not my patient, or "I will be right back", another viscous cycle...

Doctor's

1- names no one can pronounce:
Krishnaparajumita Padmasabhvashvara

2- can't understand a word they say, and they don't comprehend a word their patients say

3- writing, rather childish scribbles on pharmaceutical slips, so bad of writing, not even a foreign Pharmacist can decipher....
