I'm really mad that those fukcers on neopets made fun of me.  They're so self-important with their light-speed restocking and their snotty little nicknames.  FUCK YOU.  I RSed an MP which was a loss, and they berated and made fun of me when I went to the PUBLIC RS Board to announce to them.  I specifically said, "I don't care if it's a loss, i'm just glad I finally RSed an MP!"

They responded with things like, "Lol, LOSS!" and "Whatever makes you happy, lol" (condescending bitch).  But the worst was "Yeah, because it sat there for ten seconds.  How is it an accomplishment when that would have stayed there if newbs didn't rush for MP to say they got one on their first try?"

At which point my computer froze so I didn't get to politely tell them off.

So I'm venting here.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK.  I HAVE A LIFE AND FRIENDS AND I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO SPEND EVERY SECOND RESTOCKING AT THE MAGIC SHOP.  SO FUCK YOU, YOU DOUCHEBAGS.  I DON'T NEED YOUR APPROVAL AND IF THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON MY MAIN ACCOUNT, I WOULD FUCKING TELL YOU OFF, YOU CUNTS!

Not everything is about being greedy and grubbing all the fucking pixels you can  out of virtual shops.  I'm glad because I ACCOMPLISHED a goal.  You capitalist pigs can enjoy your wealth.  Go fuck yourselves.

Why are damn food bottles made of glass still?

Why the frick did that bottle just break when it fell from the door of my refrigerator?  It was on the bottom shelf!  What's that, like an 8 inch drop?  Why does my bottle of Worcestershire Sauce have to be made of glass?  Do pickles really have to be in glass instead of plastic? Lemon juice?  Ken's Dressing?  Teriyaki sauce?  Salsa Jar...ALL GLASSS.

My roommates and I are putting down a new rule to not store anything glass in the refrigerator.  Yes, it had to come down to this after three similar incidents.  It also seems to happen at the most inopportune time like when guests are coming for dinner, during party preparations, when I am about to leave for a meeting. 

I can't hide my helplessness when I am standing on my tiptoes in middle of a kitchen.  What am I supposed to do?  How in the world do I go get the damn broom and the dust pan behind the basement door?  The only thing I can do?  Start crying like an infant so my roommates can rush to my rescue.

I just don't understand why everythign cannot be made of plastic.  They are lighter, flexible, cheaper (I think), and can survive an 8 inch drop!  Yes, I wish everything was made of Rubbermaid.

Those "Viva Viagra" commercials...  Need I say more??   The ones with the old dudes sitting around playing country music about how much they love Viagra?  COME ON PEOPLE.  What is the world coming to???

Ok, this seems like a little thing but why do they put holes in bagels?  I'm sure it's just tradition, but maybe it's time for the bagel to evolve a little bit. 

You see, when starvinmarvin is making his breakfast in the morning, the one thing that bugs him more than anything else is having to wipe a big glob of molten butter off of the countertop after it dripped through the hole in the bagel. As I'm sure everyone on this site knows well, buttering/cream cheesing/jamming/whatevering an item with a hole in it, such as a bagel, is like 100 times harder than buttering a nice, flat, solid piece of bread.  It takes quite a lot of control and knife technique to avoid the hole.

When you think about it, it's a pretty stupid design.  What was the original bagel inventor thinking putting a hole in a vessel designed for holding gooey substances, and why on earth has no one thought to improve on the design?

As Peter Griffin would say, you know what grinds my gears?

Verizon Wireless' brilliant reliability and thoughtful marketing.

First, their reliability:

I originally had T-Mobile for several years.  No problems, no worries, not one single dropped call.  The only problem was, I got absolutely no service out in the burbs, specifically at my parents'.  So, I figured, especially when several close friends switched to Verizon, why not follow suit, jump on the wagon, and save money with in-network calls?

BAD IDEA.  For the last two years of my contract with Verizon (thank god it's almost up), I've been plagued with dropped calls, zero bars of service in the middle of the city ON A HILL, and calls that refuse to get out of "calling... ... ... ... ..." mode instead of just frickin' "connecting..." already.

The past several weeks have been the icing on the cake, the final straw that broke the camel's back, etc. etc. etc.  The object of my anger, "burning like a thousand stars" as one colleague puts it, is Verizon's latest marketing ploy.  No joke, I've been getting calls from 1-800-310-5479 (a Verizon number, identified online) multiple times a day, anywhere from 8:00am to 10:00pm, EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS.

It's brilliant marketing really.  "Hey, let's call up our customers from an unidentified 1-800 number, two-- no, five-- NO, TEN times a day.  But, get this, when they pick up, let's not say anything!!!  We'll just throw them our sales pitch when we've interested them enough to have them call US back at that same number! 'Thank you for calling Verizon Wireless.  Please hold on the line for the next sales representative to pitch our latest contract to you.' "

As one guy appropriately commented online in regards to that 1-800 number, it really is great marketing to hound your own customers to open new contracts with you.  It'll really keep them around.  Why would they ever possibly leave?

To the brilliant 420-smoking-'til-they've-got-no-viable-brain-cells-left Marketing Department at Verizon, this rant's for you.

I am actually surprised that someone hasn’t ranted about this topic already.  Is it too obvious?

Suffolk County Jail is the one on Nashua Street near TD Bank North Garden.  It’s a beautiful brick building facing the Charles River, a new park, Zakim Bridge, and the Boston Harbor.  It is a stunning building on a prime real estate with an amazing view.

Guess what!  It’s a prison!   Who came up with the brilliant idea of giving such luxury to the prisoners?!  I hear they have single rooms in there, and…did I mention the views?  Geez…free meal, time to read books, with an amazing view of the river and park…can I join you guys?  (I am bitter, because my apartment is in the basement and the pipes burst two days ago.)  Our prisoners already are costing enough of taxpayers money, but we are willing to spend gazzilions more on this stunning condo.  How did the city justify this expense (or the loss of property tax of the waterfront property)?

I digress a little, but whenever I walk by there, there are sketchy people outside hanging out.  I assume they are visitors of the prisoners, but they certainly make me uncomfortable.  I have seen those people waving at prisoners and communicating through hand signals and paper.  Those prisoners on the basketball courts on the side?  They cackle and hoot at the passerby. Yuck!

Lastly, did you guys know that this jail is a public humiliation of Boston?  My parents, when they visited Boston and did the Duck Tour, were taken to this prison and heard about the luxury of this establishment.  I am embarrassed to see that this has been made into one of the tourist destinations.  Is this what we want visitors to think of Boston? That we treat our prisoners better than we treat our residents?!  :)

Big Dig is embarrassing enough, right?
