The Rant Thread(a place to dump ur baggage)

Have you already ordered your Irish Runner 5 Mile 2014 pictures?

Seriously, 3 emails on the subject, the latest this morning. I'm assuming it will be the same for the rest of the race series.

Your photos are ****e and I'm not buying any of them, half of them don't even have me in it.

Marathon Fotos are a bit hard-sell, alright.

The fact that we don't live in a Sci-Fi movie where someone could just wave some electronic device with flashy lights over my injured hamstring and fix it instantly!

Arggh! I hate being injured!

I thought I was the only one! I keep a list of minor medical things in my head (weak lower back, dodgy wisdom teeth, gammy wrist from a break years ago) so that if I ever find myself in Star Trek, I can go straight to the medical bay and get it all sorted

Requesting 60 euro from a Bank of Ireland ATM only for it to lead you on for a while before dropping the "I only have 50's" bomb. You can feel the machine mocking you as it spits your card back at you and then you sheepishly start the whole transaction again.

Seriously though how hard can it be for the software to just let you know there are no 20's before you choose how much to withdraw, society can't function this way.

People referring to you as bud or pal or horse or boss. Fcuk off!:mad:

Some more things I'd like to rant about:

1. People calling other people 'dude'
2. Overuse of the phrase "first world problems"
3. Putting hashtags in front of everything, or even worse actually typing the word out

:pac:

Bad parents.

I saw this scumbag (on her phone texting) this evening walking her daughter that is about the same age as mine (2 or 3). She was hopping along the footpath not watching her mother and went onto the busy road. Her mother was letting her walk 10 feet in front of her. She then gave out to the child for doing so. How hard is it to hold their hand?

Robin Williams. RIP. Not so much a rant, but certainly sad news. I'm quite upset about it.

Rant - what depression does to people, and that they feel like they can't seek help ^^

I see it all the time. Mothers and fathers either feet ahead or feet behind their very young children on a busy enough roadside. Unreal.

Stupid M&S 1 litre water bottles. The cap is fixed on in such a way as you can't unscrew it and use the bottle again. GRRRRRR:mad: Half the reason I bought it was for the bloody damn bottle GGRRRRR
