I'm starting a vent of the day thread

[Cindy B]

To my sister:


Where do I start? Its sad that your marriage is ending after 14 years, but DO NOT USE YOUR CHILDREN AS PAWNS! STOPE BEING SELFISH with your time. Your kids need you! YOU ARE THEIR MOTHER!


Your job, your career, and your new boyfriend is not a priority. You have three children under the age of 6! The custody you are proposing is preposterous... children can not live two weeks in one house and two weeks in another, and trade off every two weeks... thats crazy. They need stability, and comfort of home. You have moved from Arizona to Mom & Dads house (for six months.. rent free... I had to pay rent when I lived there, and I did NOT EXPECT free babysitting from Mom and Dad), then to your house, and then you are moving out...

The school system your kids are in stinks... you know it, we were in it. Don't make them stay there, it will be a detriment later in their education. You will never acknowledge it, but trust me on this one... the education in elementary school does matter more than you think! Please don't move into the neighborhood you are thinking of... you have choices, make them wisely. You will not be happy in Hampton Lakes, the kids won't either.


And another thing, I am SICK and TIRED of you talking about "your bachelors degree". WE all know its from a smalll unknown school you took correspondence courses for through the Air Force... What are you actually doing with it? Its a sociology degree, for goodness sakes... and you are doing clerical work in the Air Force... stop lording over others and acting like your "stuff" doesn't stink... (quote from DAD!)


Yes, you are the first one with a degree, I am on the way.. but TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS and STOP BEING SELFISH! It wouldn't kill you to spend time with them, and not ordering them around like they are part of your platoon!



And I am sorry that MOM says to you "You should have stayed home like Cindy", and " Cindy has her priorities right". My babies were babies for only so long... and then they grow. Now that they are both in full day school now..its better. Am I one of the old ladies in my college classes? YES, but thats ok!

I will have you know that I gave up a career, school, and many other things to make it work. To stay home was more important to me than to climb a corporate ladder. We sacrificed so much to do it, and it WAS WORTH IT!




Boy, do I feel so much better! I've been wanting to say that for a FEW MONTHS now.

However, could you please stop putting your wet swimsuit on the hand towels?

I can think of worse things your MIL could leave on your towel rack.

oh For The Love of All That is Good and Holy ---

LET'S DON'T GO THERE!!!

To my wonderful husband: Yes I am aware you are sick. Yes I feel bad and want to make you feel better. However it is 95 degrees out and we have no ac. It is far too hot to sit on the couch with your feet on me. It doesn't mean I don't love you or don't want to be with you but sweating and watching cartoons is not my idea of a restful evening. Also please understand that I would be more willing to wait on you hand and foot when you are sick if you got off your butt and did something to help me when I am sick.

To the person who is making my commute tonight something to not look forward to - I don't know how you tipped your 18wheeler over on the highway when you just got on it. Although the thought of 95 and 295 being covered in crabs is amusing, I am extremely annoyed my 20min commute home is turning into at least an hour commute home.

To the people who don't like these rants - perhaps others feel the same way about your patronizing behavior. So perhaps you might want to go back inside that glass house of yours

 

[AirForceRocks]

Oops, here's another one:

If you are going to vent about people being high and mighty, perhaps it would be best to climb down from the throne and not act high and mighty yourself...it will probably be more effective that way.

And to people that claim to be "friends"...please save it - you've wasted your time and mine.

 

[lizdotcom99]

To my DBF, please allow me to move my computer out of my closet!! It will be alright if it is out in the open and people see it. I mean when is the last time someone has even been over to our house.....December f last year....... I am getting clausterphobic and very irritable sitting amoung a bunch of clothes and books and stuff since we have no storage space in this house. I am really struggling to find a job, self esteem and an inch of self confidence as I sit here in my closet trying to be positive and upbeat while suffering with PMS, 100+ heat and no job!!!! I love you dearly and appreciate everything that you do, but this computer in the clsoet has got to go!! I need to breathe and be happy. To all of the HR people and people I have interviewed with, you have no idea what you are missing out on!!!! You really need to call me back and offer me job, you won't be sorry!!! Thanks for listening.........i feel much better sitting here in my closet now!!!!!

 

[honeywolf7]

To the cab driver that almost hit me this morning: When I have the walk light, I have the right of way. Try to look around you and see if anyone is crossing the street. If that's too hard for you, then try to use your turn signal.

 

[DonnaS]

I'd like to add a vent about my so-called friends who feel the need to remind me of when my MIL left her dirty panties on the bathroom rack. Thanks a lot!

 

[noel]

To the maker of my husband's work vehicle (Dear Dodge/Chrysler)

Thank you for making yet another a low quality piece of junk. My husband loves having to bring his work vehicle in for service every month . He was thrilled to no air conditioning during this last spell of hot weather. Two days after having that fixed, I especially enjoyed having to go and pick him up during a severe thunderstorm at 8:30 last night as his transmission completely failed and the truck had to be towed. What a wonderful, romantic evening it was.

Fortunately his truck is owned by my husband's employer and we don't have to pay for any repairs!

 

[goofy4tink]

To AOL...don't I have enough aggrevation already without you not allowing me on to get my emails??? And to you Sears. First you tell my dh that the goop that leaked down the side of my house will come off with 409. Not even with a razor blade my friend!! Tried every solvent known to man. And then you return my ac, from having the plug, that leaked said goop, repaired without the accordian thingies on sides. You say...oh no. We wouldn't have removed them. You must have when it was stored. And why exactly would I remove them from one ac and not the other I ask you?? Especially when it took me 30 mins in the 95 degree heat to figure out how to put the blasted things on. Yeah, sure. No way could my dh have figured out how to get them off.
And while I'm at it...to you, my in-laws. You may have more money, more prestige. You may be hot-shot attorneys. But being a stay-at-home mom is what Visa calls...'priceless'!!
Thanks for the thread. Now I can go off to choir rehearsal and feel nice again!!!

My car is NOT invisible. Please, no more pulling out in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes twice today to avoid people pulling out from sides streets and turning in front of me. Look before you pull out.

This is a great thread.

You stole my rant!!! AND my cloaking device as well, it seems!! I noticed it seemed to be missing today. But believe me, it's usually there wrapped around my car every single day!!!

 

[preshi]

to the chick on the phone right now... I've been holding for 5 minutes... you told me to hold... dont get back on the phone and ask me who I am holding for because I dont know... you didnt tell me... all I want is a quick answer... I'm not asking you for the last 3 years worth of Hud-1 statements I'm asking a simple 30 second question...

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

to the rascals...

I love you dearly, but after taking the both of you to separate high schools in different towns for summer school, and picking you up during my lunch hour (which I now take an hour & a half later for you) so you don't have to take the bus, thereby having to stay later at work to make up my time ... is it too much to ask that when I get home that the house be picked up just a little, instead of waiting for me to come home and do it myself, or "encouraging" you to get off your *ahem* and get it done.

ggrrrrr

 

[Kitty 34]

These are great!!!


I have several vents........haven't decided yet which one I will use on this thread!!

 

[Jenzebelle]

To my boss:

It is not our fault that you managers have not found anyone to replace the 3 people that have left. It's not our fault you slacked to the last minute to get weekend coverage. We have lives too. It is completely unreasonable to expect us to come in to work for 12hrs on the weekend and then be back 8hrs later for our regular shift.
Also, the more you try to bully us into picking up those weekend shifts, the less likely you are to get someone to take them. Believe it or not, we all have obligations on the weekend that don't involve work.
Perhaps you should spend less time bullying us into working OT and more time into finding those new hires.

To the project managers:
I don't like coming in to work and finding a brand new network in front my screen. None of us do. So please stop waiting til the last minute to implement them. Also I cannot manage a network without knowing anything about the customer. Including how to contact them and what kind of equipment they have.

To my customers: It's not my fault, nor is it the fault of the phone companies, that you don't have power. I don't have a magic wand to make the power come on. And rest assured, if you don't have power you're not going to be able to run credit cards or use your network. If you want someone to blame, call Mother Nature.

 

[AllyandJack]

To the nut-jobs who drive down 95 out of New Hampshire with me in the morning: I'm doing 85mph. If that's not fast enough for you, that's your issue. Not mine. Also...I have one word for you: BLINKER. Put it on. I'll let you in. I swear. For those of you who don't know what that is...you know the thing you use to turn on your wipers? If you click it up and down a little light will flash that notifies people of your movements. That way, you don't have to cut me off. Contrary to your belief, the fact that my lane is moving faster does not give you the right to cut ME off and make ME slam on MY brakes. I'm sorry the person in front of you is only doing 75mph. You picked the lane, you deal with it until you can get out of it.

To the hack clerk at the court I was at today: I so appreciated you not telling opposing counsel that I was driving around your disgusting city looking for a parking space. I really appreciated you making me look through my file, while driving, to get the number of the office to have them call the attorney on her cell to tell her that I was driving around looking for a space. I really did appreciate the way you told me that you couldn't possibly tell them I was there and how you so loving informed me that my case would be dismissed for failing to appear when my case was called.

And, finally, to the person in the People's Republic of Cambridge who left that note on my gas-guzzling SUV: I was NOT parked in the compact section, I was parked in the space NEXT TO the compact section. Learn to read your signs. By the way, what kind of life do you lead that you would actually get so angry at this that you would take the time to get paper and a pen and write the note? I'm sorry that you drive a roller skate. Not my problem. But, to repeat, I was NOT in the compact section. I wouldn't do that. I'm not like that. You apparently, have a lot to learn about manners. Be sure you're right before leaving someone a note. We all have to live in this world together and writing nasty notes when you haven't got all of your facts just sets us back from where we want to be.

 

[Kteacher]

so glad I saw this thread...... To Household Bank, who put me on hold and disconnected me 3 times just because I was trying to cancel a credit card I received in the mail from you that I never requested. You kept me on the phone for an hour, then told me you couldn't help me You then gave me another customer service # to call, and guess what? They told me they couldn't help me either So when I call tomorrow do not put me on hold, do not disconnect me, do not tell me you can't cancel a credit card you issued to me that I never asked for and don't want, or the next phone call I make will be to my State Atty. General's office!!!!


phew..... I feel so much better

 

[Talking Hands]

To the young ladies in my interpreting classes. We are studying to be sign language interpreters not ladies of the street. Please dress appropriately. You look like abunch of hookers!

 

[crazyme5kids]

So it is true what they say! If you put a group of women together long enough they will get on the same cycle! Here I thought I was the only one with PMS today.

 

[Buckalew]

To my no-show clients who always want to be "worked in" because you are desperate for a haircut yet missed your scheduled appointments: Please get an organizer, a calender or something to organize yourself. After 20 years, I'm really over it.

To the cancer that has invaded my dad's body: GET OUT! I am not ready to give my dad up yet.
