Or Do I Need To Chill Out?
Published on April 17, 2006 By uDigItTheMost In Humor
Here is what happened to me one day last week.

Before I get to my rants. Let me start by saying when I get frustrated at traffic jams, grocery stores or wherever one of my favorite things to say is "COME ON!" I usually follow it with "What the Hell is going on?" or "Can't people drive in this town" or "Jesus! I don't believe this".

My first rant. I'm driving down the road. No cars in front of me no cars behind me I'm the only car going in my direction. Yet a driver decides to pull out in front of me causing me to almost come to a complete stop. The other driver then goes like 25 feet and pulls into a fast food restaurant parking lot. Grrrrrr!! Instead of just letting me go by this crazy driver almost causes an accident. And this isn't an isolated incident it happens at least once a week to me. COME ON!!

Speaking of fast food restaurants my second rant involves being at one. I was in a fast food place and the line was long. The drive-thru line was even longer. Most fast food places don't have the largest of menus, and the one I was at has had basically the same menu for years. Yet half the people in line weren't ready by the time it was their turn to order. "Welcome to ___________ may I take your order?" "Yeah ...ummm.. give me a ... aahhh .. ummmm .. I guess I'll take a ... aahhh ... ummmm" Grrrrrr!! See that person behind them shaking his head? That's me! COME ON!!

Now my last rant. After leaving the fast food restaurant I stopped at a convenience store to buy the newspapers and a pop. When I got there I was the only customer, but by the time I get ready to pay there's like 8 other customers in line. Oh well that's my fault since I was glancing through magazines. The thing that DID bother me though was no one is ever ready to pay. Everybody is waiting there in line looking around as if bored but no one is ready to pay. When they get to the head of the line the clerk tells them their total then finally they get out their wallet or finally dig into their purses. You think they would have an idea how much they're spending so have your money ready. I know it's a very minor thing but COME ON!

So what do you think? Worthwhile rants? Or do I just need to chill out?

My GF already voted. she thinks I need a chill pill. I think someone should take my side. COME ON!

I'll take your side, especially about the driver!  Had an idiot this morning that could not make up his frigging mind, and then made a right turn from the center lane!  I should have broad sided him!

Well, sometimes I am with you when it comes to getting upset at moronic drivers out there (I just ranted to you about pyscho lady driver this morning!).

I can sympathize with the driving bit. I was bopping down the interstate yesterday when this guy zooms past me in the left lane, cuts hard into the right lane in front of me... and proceeds to slow down to about 15mph under the speed limit. I passed him, and about 5min later he did it again. The guy was on his cell phone and just wasn't paying attention or maintaining his speed. I so wanted to just smash into him.

Rant 1 - Drivers; Nothing more exasperating than having the proverbial little old lady proform the dart and crawl maneuver ( ) The usual occurence here is for the tractor driver to pull into traffic, only to turn off the road 100ft up the road

Rant 2- Fast Food; I can't tolerate drive thrus!!!! IF they get your order right, you're required pull up and wait for it to be prepared, but usually they forget something, straws, napkins, main course......

Rant 3 - Delays in payment; I'll give most a pass on this rant. Particularly in convenience stores, where the clientle look like the photo gallery in the Post Office, but it totally applies at a Grocery Store, especially if the guilty party is writing a check!

Rant on.

What's scary about it is bad drivers are something you see here and there you see them everywhere.

A guy today made a must've missed his turn cause he made a U-turn. The bad thing about it is he made it on a boulevard so he was going the wrong way. He was headed towards us we all braked and he sped into the drive he needed. Total idiot !!

The same one you wanted me to pass. I rather be behind her.

I think they train the workers to NOT give anything unless the customer asks for it.

How 'bout if they write a check for something less than a dollar?

That's probably why lots of cities are passing laws that ban talking on the cell while driving.

If you were extremely rich would you have smashed into him?

Sounds like "your driver" the one that cut you off, and the one that was driving with her cell phone in her right hand and digging in her purse with her left hand, ( last week) should get together.

Rant On!! I did last week, we all do sooner or later..

otherwise we'd be like a volcano!

be blessed you do not live in Cali, pull in front of you and do 5 miles an hour is common place.

I refuse to go to fast food joints till they get a drive through machine with a universal translator. ha ha Ha

Chill pill DENIED!

Or in Florida where they do the same move only they do it with the right blinker going forever.

I think the only thing they say correctly is "you want fries with that?"
