Free therapy! B*TCHFEST, Friday the 13th edition!!
You "old timers" know how this madness and chaos works, but for your new kids (or just people who haven't participated before) here are the B*TCHFest General Rules and Codes of Conduct:
"B*TCHFest" is provided as a public service to those of us who have gripes and grievances but who (whom?), for whatever reason, lack a regular forum in which to air them. You are welcome to voice any problems - large or small, important, mundane or ridiculous - that currently have your panties wadded, your shorts frosted and your gears ground. Don't hold them in and risk future medical issues, wrinkles and/or those pesky gray hairs.
ANY and ALL issues that are plaguing you are open for you to voice; there are no "sacred cows." They say that "feelings aren't facts", so if you're feeling it, it's legit to you. NO ONE is allowed to flame a poster for something he or she writes, however commiseration is not only welcomed but encouraged. Please, no personal attacks against other OH members (at least, not by name) and PLEASE, NO SURGERY WARS!
I'll start you off with a few gripes of mine, and you all can join in at any time! No limits - come back as many times as you like!
WARNING! Adult content ahead!
Posts may (and probably will) contain "adult" content and language. Rated TV-MA.
Today's major ***** SEEING STORE AISLES CRAMMED WITH HALLOWEEN CRAP AND KNOWING THAT THE CHRISTMAS CRAP IS OUT IN THE BACK ROOM, WAITING.
And now I'm gonna just go with a stream of consciousness list of things that are irking me.
- Why do people in horror movies act like they're never even seen a horror movie before?
- Socks and sandals. Worse, socks and THONG sandals. W. T. F. is up with that??
- People who sit at the red light and wait for it to turn green BEFORE they signal that they're going to turn left.
- Pedestrians *****fuse to use sidewalks.
- Pedestrians *****fuse to use crosswalks.
- Pedestrians who can't just CROSS, but they have to walk in some stupid diagonal line that takes them three times as long to get their asses out of the street.
- Having a cold during a week like this, when the temperature has been in high 80s but the HEAT INDEX temperature has been 101-104. Nothing makes sinus and chest congestion feel quite as miserable as oppressive humidity.
Okay, that's it for now. Go forth and *****
I am with you on the Halloween stuff BUT many stores here have X-mas stuff out TOO! WTF? ....one holiday at a time people!
Oh...speaking of pedestrians....how about (and i gonna generalize here) teens who are on the sidewalk as you are ready to turn in a driveway....they look up... see you....and keep walking AND texting...VERY slowly! I just wanna mow these ******s down! Pick up their phones and text..."I just got run over....DON'T text and be a DUMBASS! like me!"
The sheer stupid, crassness and cruelty of manufacturers who make biscuits (cookies to you lot) as scrumptious as the packet I just ate. Yes, all of them. The entire packet. Add to that the person who first experimented with mixing ground cocoa beans and sugar and made chocolate bars.
