Bookworms Unite! discussion

Per our lovely Alondra's post, I thought we should have a thread dedicated to ranting. We all have those moments (or entire days) that really, truly irk us, so here's the place to vent.

Enjoy!

bwahahahhaa..... I have a good one today.

Had to contact a patient and tell her the doctor said no to her request. She cut me off and started off by saying, "First of all I don't like your attitude.... "

..It went downhill from there. She was ticked off because the doctor wouldn't write a 3rd note for work. The doctor and my supervisor have that patient on the hot list. She is in trouble... hahahhhaa...

really, she is... oh, and then she hung up on me. NNNIICCEEE

I am a practice manager for an orthopaedic clinic - trust me I feel you!

I'm going to rant and rave about how I'm getting sick again. My niece's baptism is on Sunday and I'm supposed to be her godmother so I really, really, really hope I'm better by then. The flu has been running rampant around here. Hopefully all I've got is the beginning of a cold. :/

And now I have run out of Cheez-its. :'(

She said WHAT to you?? WOW! I've a feeling that her rudeness didn't sit well with you at all. Speaking of cutting you off, one of my biggest pet peeves is being interrupted. GrrrRR!!

Aw, please get well very soon, J.S.
We've all been sick around here, too.. It's never any fun..:(

I read today about a 13 year old girl in Missouri who is being bullied and sexually harrassed in school. Her mother contacted the school and was told that her daughter should get a breast reduction to prevent the bullying. I am so furious about this that I can barely write without flying off into a swear-filled raving rant! Breathe...count to 10.

That is insane! I have no words.

same here.. like, hey whatever you're saying sucks; listen to me now... :/

Hope you feel better; but no cheez-its!!!? I love those things... :O

uhm, so not cool... i wonder if that was a male who said that. maybe he needs a penis reduction??? no?

I've discovered that the colby Cheez-its are the best.

J.S. wrote: "And now I have run out of Cheez-its. :'("

That will never ever do, one must always have cheez-its.

Here's to hoping the back-stabbing gossiping women at work get over themselves!! Especially the one who is the same age as my mom who has started an "I hate Kristen" campaign. Teaching 60 kindergarten students was SO MUCH EASIER!

Alondra, or perhaps he needs a penis removal?

I hate when people blames women for their attributes and use that as an excuse to pick on or humiliate them. Do you not have the ability to control yourself, no matter what a woman's breast size?
If not, you need to grow up.

Good to know.:)

ROFL You are HILARIOUS, Alondra!!! Thank you, I needed that!

Exactly, Charlene. This sickens me to no end.. and saddens me, as well.

Aw, who could ever hate you, Kristen? I am very sorry to hear this...:(

Ranting huh?
Very interesting topic Dustin!!

I don't have anything to rant about at the moment actually.....

You can thank Alondra. It was her idea.:)


I have nothing to rant about, either..

Office + women = drama. I hate to generalize, but I work as a medical assistant and not too many males in that line of work, except for doctors. We have 2 male docs, and you can tell the difference when it is just them working. Quiet, ..busy, but quiet.

Hello! I couldn't agree more.

All right, I have one that's been ongoing for at least a week, possibly two! Perhaps it's a bit trivial, but I've got to vent.

Tanya and I haven't been going to bed until 1-2 in the morning. I try to get to bed earlier, but to no avail. As a result, I can't seem to get out of bed until 10 AM. Why does this irk me, you say? Because I prefer to get up and start the coffee around 8 or so. Waking up two hours later puts me majorly behind, I feel like half the day's gone already! GrrrRR!!

Some NUT side-swapped my truck and another driver and kept going. He then gave us a wave like he was sorry.... really!!?? Now my poor 12-yr old Xterra looks like Orcs beat the side of it with warhammers......

@Dustin. Sorry about the late nights and later days, but it gets better at some point. I'll keep you all in my prayers. :)

Bummer! I feel ya though, feels like so much time has passed when you start a little later. Just have to remember that you are using those late night hours when most of us are asleep:).

THATS AWFUL!!! The nerve to wave at you like he did not just run into your car with his.
Love the LOTR reference, need to bring those out & watch again...ooh and read again as well.

Aww, thank you so much! You're very sweet, Alondra!!


Wow, that guy's a NUT job, for sure! What a jerk! I'm sorry about the damage to your truck.. Some people..

hahhaha, Kristin...priorities! You are so bad, i love that reference too.... but i was thinking the same thing. How sad... bwahahhaha. I just watched the Blu-Ray extended additions 2 weeks ago. Took me 2 days to watch them and that is skipping over the parts where Frodo falls... (which is many) :D

@Dustin; i love that old truck. Nothing like a vehicle that is paid off. :O

Alas, I have nothing to rant about tonight, either. I need to get out more.....lol

Well that's a good thing, isn't it? You should try to get out more, if you can.

Indeed!

HAHAHAHA! Work is all I need to have something to rant about, but I do like my job. Just not the "office girls".

Totally inconsequential gripe, but I was playing Family Feud and one of the topics came up, Displays You Find at a Country Fair. I answered Livestock, and Tractors, and got a big red X for each of those answers.... I dunno what kinda country fairs they talking about, but all the ones I have been to have loads of livestock and tractors both! Made me mad. Lol

ROFL @ Family Feud rant. That game can be BIZARRE. And all the hosts the show has had over the years...*smh*

hehehehe... i played it for a few months on FB, and got tired of the off the wall answers, too.

Rant: Had to be to work at 7:30am for a meeting... feel my pain. :/

Borrowed my friends slow cooker - didn't use it and on my way to return it I accidentally dropped it and broke it... $50 for a new one :/

Haha thanks Alondra! Serves me right for always being in such a hurry - I need to learn to slow down! :/

good luck with that... i don't know too many people who know how to slow down. I sure don't ... :O

Hehe glad I'm not the only one :)

Michelle wrote: "Hehe glad I'm not the only one :)"

You are not alone. One of these days we will and hopefully we will appreciate it... maybe with lots of books and coffee !!

I like the sound of that plan!

I hate that my mother can't say what she has to say about me to my face; she has to say it behind my back. I want to know what happened to the mother I had when I was little. This woman that now claims to be my mother is a stranger to me.

It saddens me too Dustin. :-(

hell, so is mine. I think my mothers hot flashes have gone to her head. She rants about everything and is completely negative. I love her, but glad she is still in Chicago... I feel your pain. All you can do is live your own life; she had hers.
