Title: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: brat1083 on May 16, 2009, 12:31:59 pm this was the the buterfly in the Caverns of Sonora.
(http://www.cavernsofsonora.com/images/img03.jpg) On November 21, 2006, the Caverns of Sonora’s trademark formation, The Butterfly, was vandalized. The top portion of the right wing on the Butterfly was broken off and stolen. I took millions of years to form and a second to deface... (http://www.cavernsofsonora.com/images/img04.jpg) There are some Pictographs at Paint Rock, Texas. Its actual a Holy place wher naturall sping come from mother earth..and Astronomical Observatory (http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/paintrock.html). Some stupid gang banger thought that those where just tags from the Indians that lived in the area. So they added there tag on the rocks. What A** we have in this world that ruin it for the rest of use. All these are in area near my hometown, I love these things...

I have the same thing, but with moths. I hate how freakin morons have to screw things up. Didn't they learn as kids not to touch things that didn't belong to them? Idiots. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Max24 on May 23, 2009, 02:47:38 pm I hate "Take your child to work" day. It's mis-named. It should be called "get on the elevator only to find the button for every freaking floor in a 30 story building has been pushed and it's going to take you twenty minutes to get where you're going" day.

My greatest fear in the whole entire world is butterflies and moths, and I have a lot of fears. :p I hate "Take your child to work" day. It's mis-named. It should be called "get on the elevator only to find the button for every freaking floor in a 30 story building has been pushed and it's going to take you twenty minutes to get where you're going" day. Stupid kids!!! Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: brat1083 on May 23, 2009, 07:04:43 pm I HATE LOUD COMMERCIAL ON TV....

I despise snobs...they're so beneath me 1hmph. 1blink (yeah I hate hypocrisy too) Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Naria on May 23, 2009, 08:00:24 pm Butterflies? 1titter Apologies Naria that's adorable. LOL, it's not so adorable when I actually see one and start crying and screaming, and if he's around, running behind my Dad. I hate the radio and all the commercials on it. PLAY MUSIC!!!!! Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Nonni on May 23, 2009, 08:10:36 pm You guys are too sharp for me. My daughter has a phobia about moths, I'm glad to know she isn't alone in that unreasonable fear. Now the real monsters are grasshoppers and their mutated Romulan cousins, the crickets. Shudder, shudder.
As to loud commercials, thank God for the mute button on the remote. My rant and rave is about tailgaters, especially on the interstate at 70 mph during heavy rain, sleet or snow. I think some humans have a off switch in their brain when they ignite the engine of their vehicle. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us.

I got one, the emails that are all about gooey love and the threaten you with death or disaster if you don't pass it on. I got a new on today that I actually liked: "If you don't forward this to 1 of your friends within the next 5 minutes your belly button will unscrew and your butt will fall off" Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us.

You should be on Maury show. :) I hate the effing teens in Walmart who almost ran my kid over with the shopping cart. Pay attention Deeek! Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Naria on May 24, 2009, 10:12:20 pm The price of televisions!!!!
What if I don't give a toss if it's flatscreen?!?!?! I see better on tv's that aren't freakin' plasma and LCD crap! Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: DaSpecial1 on May 27, 2009, 10:47:28 pm Fickle unreliable people. You know the kind that always need you but are never there when you could use help with the slightest thing?
Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: phishfood1301 on May 27, 2009, 11:06:18 pm I hate people who ask "You knocked you up this time?"!!!! WTH?!? My husband see the ring! I have only been pregnant twice, and both times by my husband. (20 some year apart though)
Or the classics "One bad apple spoils the barrel" or "Once a ***** always a *****". I get that ALL the time. Okay I get I was pregnant as a teen. But it's not my fault my sister younger than me by 22 years got pregnant! I didn't live in the same house let alone time zone as her. And my son is dead, her's isn't. I stayed in school went to an Ivy leaguel; and got a masters, she dropped out. I married the father, She doesn't even know who the father is. I took every class and study my @$$ off to be the best parent I could be, she smoked while pregnant. I think we're a little different. I love her but doesn't know a *beaver house* about being a parent. Or the one "Your a *illegitment child*." Oh my bad. It's my fault my parents had unprotected "woohoo''. Sorry I'm a little upset at the moment. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Naria on May 27, 2009, 11:13:19 pm Fickle unreliable people. You know the kind that always need you but are never there when you could use help with the slightest thing? OH YEAH ... Story of every "friendship" I ever had, Dasi. They whined to me every two seconds about everything and anything but the second I needed the smallest favour they had some excuse. Makes me sick, it really does. And sadly I'm the kind of person too nice to say no and I just get stepped on. My rant at the moment: I hate when they discontinue sodas that I love. No, really. I'm still really upset about Sprite Tropical Remix and that was 4 years ago. I just did a "5 Favourite Sodas" thing on Facebook, and my top three are all gone. Along with original Cherry Coke. So, that's kind of 4 out of 5. :rolleyes: Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: phishfood1301 on May 27, 2009, 11:46:53 pm WHAT?!? They're stopping cherry coke?!? NOOOOO!!! :'(
Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Naria on May 27, 2009, 11:47:50 pm WHAT?!? They're stopping cherry coke?!? NOOOOO!!! :'( No, it's just they stopped it for a while (I think? When Black Cherry Vanilla came out) and then they brought it back when they discontinued BCV, and it's been different since. Well, it tastes different to me. :-\ It's entirely possible I could've just gotten over my like of it, though, and that's why it doesn't taste the same. I liked BCV a lot more. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Mooncat on May 28, 2009, 01:12:09 am What really gets my blood pressure up there...
The "JC Penny One-Day-Only Sale"! They say on TV it's only for a day, but they have that stupid sale so often that they should re-name it to "The JC Penny Year-Round Sale"! FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS ON RUBBER CRUTCHES, PEOPLE! COME ON!!! Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: phishfood1301 on May 28, 2009, 01:16:33 am Ah, yes. In my hometown we had a store that "WAS CLOSING! WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO SELL EVERYTHING! NO OFFER WILL BE REFUSED!!!! for sixteen years...
Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: kaoz666 on May 28, 2009, 01:42:42 am A few weeks ago I went to Best Buy looking for a new Graphics Card. So I find the one I'm looking for, but pull one of the Geek Squad guys to the side to try and get some specifics on the particular model I picked. And as it turned out, the bastard knew NOTHING about Graphics Cards. Not a damn thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't these guys get PAID to know about tech products? You know it's a problem when you as a consumer know more about tech then the retailer you're buying it from. IN-FRAKKIN'-CREDIBLE!!!
Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Jenna on May 28, 2009, 08:32:44 pm Interview for a position on Geek Squad team:
"Do you know how to turn a computer on?" "Yes..." "You're hired!" A friend of mine once worked the Geek Squad detail. The first day he was hired, they handed him this ginormous cheat sheet filled with all manner of technical definitions, how-to instructions, etc. That just blew my mind. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Max24 on May 28, 2009, 09:44:47 pm "Do you know how to turn a computer on?" "Um... Blow in its ear?"

Post your Rant Post by: kaoz666 on May 29, 2009, 12:00:48 am That's what Retail has come to. I remember when you could walk into a store and actually speak to an employee that not only knew what they were talking about, but actually was PASSIONATE about their job. Nowadays it's just slackers or college kids just trying to get a paycheck because there parents cut off their debit cards. One of the core reasons I do most of my shopping at Mom & Pop stores. I'm much more incline to drop cash in a small business then one of the big chain stores, because you KNOW the guy running a small electronics shop knows his stuff. I had a similar experience today at Gamestop when asking about reserving a copy of Modern Warfare 2. The dude behind the counter looked like he didn't even know what the frak I was talking about. I literally said with a few other customers behind me "Do you even play video games, or do you just work here?" Got a couple chuckles out of the people behind me. I worked for Gamestop back when I was in my early 20s, and people would ask for me by NAME in my store because I knew my stuff. I am a 100% true gamer afterall. It ended up being what led me to getting into graphic design. But these days you'd be hard pressed to find sales people in retail who actually know anything about what they're selling. It's no wonder people shop online so much these days, because going to an actual store is a waste of time and braincells. [/rant]

Post your Rant Post by: brat1083 on May 29, 2009, 12:54:27 am Yea i go tp a mom and pop hardware store in town that next to Irving. The lock smith is the only person around here that can cut keys For a Rolls Royce and Bently's from a Blank key on saturday I was in ther and a guy drove all the way from Houston to have a key made for his 1954 Bently..He was taken back when the lock smith would take a $100 tip, the lock smith said that will be 20 dollars and a thank you...
There some thing to be said for craftmanship and the pride of a job well done...no computer will ever replace that. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: kaoz666 on May 29, 2009, 02:36:12 am Damn skippy. In this day and age where everyone wants instant gratification in everything, it's refreshing that there are still some of us that appreciate and aren't at ALL afraid to get some dirt underneath their nails for a job done well, and done right. I've always been that type. When my PC has problems, I don't take it to tech places or anything, I crack that sum'bich open and fix it. When the pipes in my kitchen sink started leaking, I went out, bought replacements and fixed it within a 3 hour time frame. Yes ladies, there ARE still some of us guys out there who are experts at "guy" stuff and take PRIDE in it. I can't begin to tell you how many times I wanna lol when I'm on the subway and I hear a pair of frail looking Wall Street preppies talking about "I had the repair man over this weekend to look at the heater." A real man would get his ass to Home Depot, get a new heater, get back home and GET TO WORK.
Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: Nonni on May 29, 2009, 02:40:31 am It's true. All that you say is true. I might have broken down and cried but the quote from Jenna, "blow in its ear", turned me from going down that path. I believe "The Force" is with her. 1sw2
About skippy, my mom used to pray that dad would not be able to repair the washing machine AGAIN, because she wanted a new washer and dryer. Title: Re: The few buttheads out there that ruin it for the rest of us. Post your Rant Post by: jamesabrown1 on May 29, 2009, 05:38:14 am Everything is wih Jenna, including The Force. Every now and again the evil in me comes out and I stop programming for awhile and wander over to the geek squad (I think you probably can guess the retail outlet) and ask a question that I know is slightly off the beaten path so they don't have it memorized and smirk mirthlessly while they have something urgent to attend to in the back and then come back (after looking it up) and give the answer, so then I repeat the process until they get frustrated and have to get distracted by another customer and hand me off to another associate.
