The B*tching And Moaning Thread

Post Reply New Topic

It sounds like I'm sitting next to a jumbo jet engine and I can't fix it!! !

i had a reasonably close encounter with a meltdown this evening.
i behaved impeccably but circumstances conspired against me.

i did not feel like spending too much time in considering what i was going to have for dinner, so my mind seized on the simple idea of driving through the KFC drive through and ordering a simple assembly of items.

when i got there, there was a line of about 15 cars in front of me, and i did not notice the log jam until i was behind the car in front of me.

i thought i would reverse out of the line and go and park and go inside to order because it seemed that there were not too many people in there. before i could get my car into reverse, 2 cars drove in and situated themselves directly behind me.

i got out of my car and motioned for them to reverse so i could get out of the queue, and they looked perplexed, but nevertheless i could see by their cars suspension shifting, that they had both selected reverse to accommodate me.

but then, 3 more cars (one was a 4 wheel drive) drove in and hemmed them in, so they shrugged their shoulders and abandoned their effort to back back to let me out.
so i was committed to wait in the queue.

i got back in my car and waited. and i waited. and then i waited. after a while i....waited. the people in the cars in front of me seemed to take ages to make their order to the person at the orders window, and i started to think "the blasted indecisive gluttons ! !!". they were gesturing and talking to the order taker, and then they were turning around to have a conference with the people in the back seats of their cars.

i thought "why the f*ck can't they decide what they want before they get to the window?!?!"
i then became extremely irate and thought "people like you should not be fed ! !!"

anyway, the line inched painfully along, and then i saw the cars at the delivery window. there were usually 4 people in the car, but they were handed bag after bag of food, and they were handed shakes and deserts etc, and i thought "how in the hell can you idiots eat so much just to sustain your stupid impeding existences ?!?!?!"

then i thought "the people in that car are going to sh*t truckloads of excreta tomorrow, and it is just the waste from a "nothing night" they will have and forget, which they feed themselves to experience !"

when i got to the order window i tried to order my simple request.

girl: hi there....

me: yes i will have 1 wing and one breast of the original recipe chicken, and 3 bre....

girl: sorry we are out of fresh chicken at the moment. there's going to be a 10 minute wait on the chicken. (grrrrrr (that means i would have to park up the street as the car park was full (no doubt because other people decided to go and park and wait))).

me: right so you have nothing left?!?!

girl: errrm

me: do you have any nuggets left?

girl: yes sir we...

me: well then i will have 6 nuggets with sweet and sour sauce, and 3 bread rolls and a can of sunkist (like fanta) ! !.

she rang it up and said "that will be ten dollars thanks".
i gave her the $10 dollars and she said to drive to the next window.

when i got to the next window, there was a goofy pimply teenager who was seemingly overwhelmed with the girls walking around him telling him what to do, and he handed me my package and said "have a great night sir".

i suspected he was too stupid to get my order right so i looked for the sweet and sour sauce satchel (which is the most common thing they forget to include), and there was no sweet and sour sauce so i said "you have forgotten the sweet and sour sauce" and he scratched his dandruff clogged scalp and said "awww yeah sorry man" and he went and fetched one for me.

as i was driving out of the drive through ready to go home, i noticed that i had no can of drink, so i parked in front of a person in the car park and they blew their horn at me.

i got out and asked them if they wanted to go yet, and they said no, and i said "well do not blow your f*cking horn at me!! i will be back in a minute"

then i went inside, and the same person that served me at the drive through window served me at the counter inside, and he said "hi sir what can i get for you?"
i said "you don't have much of a memory do you?"
he said "errr sorry?"
i said "you forgot my sunkist!! ! you really are in a buggers muddle tonight aren't you?!?! i was at the drive through remember? the one who you forgot to give the sweet an sour sauce to?"

he said "oh yeah... i'll just get your sauce"
i said "you already gave me the sauce!! !! i want the drink!! ! christ!! ! wake up!! !"

then the manager came to the counter and said that he wanted me to go and i told him loudly "if i get the drink i paid for i will go forever!! !! you are a complete f*cking cretin running a show like this and i don't want anything to do with this shop again!!'

he said "yeah mate? i'm going to ring the police", and then the dandruff chump gave me my drink and i walked out and said "you're a complete loser and you're gonna be collecting the dole soon".


then when i got home, it struck me that i paid $10 for just 6 nuggets and 3x30 cent buns and a can of drink.
the nuggets should be $3.80 and the buns 90c and the drink $2.50.

it should have been $7.20, but when i counted the nuggets there were 9!! !.

i ordered six. that was another mistake i did not even know about when i was having my quasi tantrum.

i can not go back there for a while i am sure. their stupidity has not only cost me money and satisfaction, it has also cost me the chance of going back.

oh well. life in the big smoke huh?

^ How on earth does a Kentucky Fried Chicken run out of chicken anyway??! That happened to us once and it was only like, 6pm. A bit before closing time I can understand a lack of chicken pieces, but not at 6pm.

It's like going to Pizza hut and them saying they ran out of pizza.

they run out of chicken because it is a friday night and the employees are all young gelled haired imbeciles who are glued to their mobile phones planning their night ahead and they have not the residual brain power to realize that they are not cooking enough chicken to meet the demand that is happening.

they have 20 brain cells devoted to their social night ahead and 2 on their job at hand, and that exhausts their capacity.
they are cheap labor. really cheap. one could not pay more than ground level fees for services such as theirs.

goodness knows where they are now. probably puking in a toilet in a rave club.

but i am over it now. all my problems last about 20 minutes before they dissolve in my mind.

This, for the last few weeks, ( the increasingly tense couple of weeks leading up to the new school year at the new school and the increasingly unsatisfactory 9 days since then ):

And:

And now this tonight, after waiting eagerly the last two months to see ( an undubbed ) "Inception" by Christopher Nolan, whose films "Memento" and "The Prestige" I absolutely love:



BAWL! Well, I feel like bawling but I'm not. I feel like bombing both places, ( school and cinema ) launching satisfyingly big missiles at them, and seeing them go up in flames.

My one and only friend here in village, ( English too, like me, who walked out of cinema with me this evening, equally disgusted ), says that perhaps I should speak with my son's "year" teacher about him jumping a year, simply so that he has something to get his teeth into, academically. ... May try that; there's a "Parent-Teachers Meeting" next Tuesday evening. But judging from talks I had with the headmaster in July, who was reluctant to even let my son off English lessons, ( because it is an "obligatory" part of the syllabus for everybody else ), despite his being bilingual, ( in fact stronger in English than in French ), until the Eng teacher has had the time to assess my son, ( which he thought would take a few weeks at least ), in which case he could go in late and leave early when english classes fall at the beginning or end of a day, ( because it would have to be done unofficially ... they apparently have no "official" framework for dealing with bilingualism ), ... such a move ( jumping a year ) might take them all year to agree to and organise!! !

... ... ...

PS. I have just "pre-ordered" "Inception" from Amazon, estimated delivery date mid-December.
.

4 things at the store costed me $23 and thats after i saved $9.49! can you believe this?
the soaring cost of food is really a hidden epidemic, something needs to be done about it. like hello can they be lowerd? is that possible??

I'm a borderline asexual straight-edge Secular-Humanist living in south Louisiana. It's a ducking miracle I haven't hung myself yet. It's no wonder I'm p!ssed-off & alone. I'm in an area full of rednecks living in swaps who believe that sense their religious they can party all they want. The rezone I know there's no god is because if there was; hurricane Katrina would of whipped Louisiana off the planet to cleanse this $h!t-hole of all the sinners & hypocritical morons. There was NO arc

I'm Elton John, and the b***h is back!

Life is so hollow.

Stoopid boots!! !! Why do they have to be the hardest thing in the world to buy??! !

There's nobody bitching and moaning lately


Also, to hell with that stoopid client at work who tried to get away with claiming her BOTOX and FACELIFT procedures as a medical expense AND her plastic surgeon is the one encouraging her to cheat the system

My copy of the Crispin Glover movie Willard I bought at the pawn shop the other day is so scratched up that it won't work. I really wanted to watch it today.

I cannot seem to finish this story I'm writing. I didn't think a simple calendar date could have so much impact, but damn, I feel December 2, 1907 a lot as of late.

I hate my gender. I wish I was a man.

I'm extremely lonely every day because my mother is a teacher and the school system gives her so much unnecessary work to do that she sometimes doesn't come home until eight or nine. The only friend I have has so many health problems that we can rarely do anything together. I want to make new friends, but I don't know how to. I've tried getting a job, but no one would hire me. I feel uncomfortable going out in public because everyone else is so much better-looking in comparison to me. I feel bulky and unattractive because every time I go out in public, all of the girls around me are flat stomached, skinny limbed, sun tanned, blemish-free, and well-dressed. I can't find fashionable clothes in my size and I'm not even overweight. Everything that actually looks good is made for skinny women. I'm not even that into fashion; I just hate feeling ugly. Lamictal ruined my face; it's covered in acne scars. I hate my house because it's always messy and because it needs so many repairs that we can't afford. The obvious solution for the messiness would be to get rid of our heaps of useless junk, but my mom won't let it happen because she's a pack rat.

I have to take part in this thread because I'm an expert at complaining!

I don't know if this is bitching or moaning as such, but does it annoy you when you're typing on the internet and as you type it sometimes missing out a letter, even when you know you've pressed the letter? It just completely jumps a letter sometimes, and it's really annoying because when I submit a post I have to keep editing it after finding loads of mistakes. I can't always be bothered to read all through my post before submitting because I just want to hurry up and get it up so people can read it, especially if it's a really good post I've written. Anyway it's usually Murphy's Law with me because if I do read through before submitting I find there's no missed out letters at all. LOL
I've checked StickyKeys and there's nothing turned on or off there, so it's got nothing to do with that. It just becomes a pain in the arse when it keeps on missing out letters. I always like to type really fast, before I forget what I'm about to say, but I can't type as fast when I've got to keep going back to fill in the stupid blank spaces. Even if I typed slow it still misses out a letter when it wants.

Anyway - does anyone have something on Wrong Planet what annoys you?
I get annoyed when you're searching the site for something what you really want to write about, and you finally find the closest thing to it, then you realise the last post was posted back in 2004 or something. And when you go to write a post it never gets read because the thread has become ''forgotton''. I'm reluctant to start a new thread because then I get replies saying, ''there is another thread the same as this - you should search the site first!''
Another thing what annoys me about Wrong Planet is you only have 9999 minutes to edit a post, then there's no turning back after the 9999 minutes is up. I don't even know how many days that is and because of my poor maths skills....um....I don't even know how to say ''9999'' in words. When I read it I just say, ''nine nine nine nine''.
