The 'Rant' thread

Shoko Loko Bangoshe · Jan 20, 2009 , 04:39 AM

This thread is in honour of DeepThought who has been looking for an excuse to use the rant

emoticon.

Feel free to post everyday things that annoy you, followed by one to ten rant emoticons - the more rant emoticons, the more you indicate your annoyance.

I'll go first:

- Getting a puncture while riding home on my bike in the cold wet darkness - especially when I'm too far from work to turn back, and too far from home to walk the rest of the distance.

I HATE FOX NEWS!!!!!

The news outfit is so biased - so petty- it is sickening!

They can't even bring themselves to celebrate the great occassion.

I don't get how the Network gets to have a broadcast license.

I am Suspicious!

I am fed up of my work colleague monday gist

All they yap about first thing is their binge drinking escapade

Then they crown it up with gist about the soaps they watched on TV

It is always the same soaps, Eastenders, coronation street and the likes

And this just go on and on week in week out

If I here anymore talk about this today I will go bunkers

.

Not in the slightest mood for such gist today at all

Wow this is so cool. Feel better already

I hate it when guys wear low cut jeans and we can see the pants sticking out.....sometimes its even an odd colour sef...ewww.

Lanky men without any muscles wearing Muscle Tees.....abeg it's not by force....the gym is not far.

wearing sandals and socks....pls who does that this days.....so 90s.....

some girls wearing undersized tops and exposing their big stomach.....pls we don't want to see it....keep it inside..

Guys wearing their trousers below their butts and showing us their dirty boxers.....thinking its so cool....

guys wearing over tight trousers...pls....how does it breath?

wearing traditional up and down then wearing sneakers.....haba...shoes are not costly.

i hate it when fat chicks wear skinny jeans.

i hate it when one mistmatch colours, it turns out you wearing the rainbow.

wearing sunglasses that are bigger than your face...makes one look like an elf

wearing sunglasses at night and a dark place wadahell!

Ranter · Jan 20, 2009 , 11:13 AM

hate people going slow on the fast outer lane.

hate women who tug on their pants and blouses, if you dont want to show off, you should have dressed up at home.

hate people putting ice in my beer(in Thailand).

hate when the cash register packs up with my pack of condom lying stranded on the counter while children are running around all over the place.

emj · Jan 20, 2009 , 12:49 PM

I hate it when that "glorified agbero" Jim Iyke starts that his Afro-american-britiko-jamo accent. WTF is that

charles4u · Jan 20, 2009 , 02:49 PM

...I hate remembering the mistakes I've made in the past

...Thinking I shouldnt have done it

...Wishing I could have done better

...But does this help keep the memories from coming to my head ? NO..

:

.....All these memories still remains..:

I hate the weather presently, I leave home it is still dark and I get back home it is Dark

I detest the smell of Garlic first thing on a Monday morning at a meeting. I have to attend where my colleague does not see it fit to make an effort to take a bath, brush his teeth and wear a shirt that does not have a ring around the collar............

I wish I was in Nigeria enjoying daylight and sunshine

Oh my Gaaaaaaaaaaawd that's annoying!

I swear I can't stand them fidgetting in their outfit..

Worried that their low-cut jeans might show their arse-cracks

It's like every 2 minutes, she's reaching behind to adjust in class

In apparent discomfort that she might be showing too much arse.

If the outfit is so discomforting, whyn't you wear a goddam sack?

Rather than go about attracting attention to your discomfort?

Nor be by force to show cleavage and whale-tails.

Jan 20, 2009 , 04:04 PM

Gosh, look at guys complaining that gals tug in public.

What about guys who "adjust" in public when a strand of hair gets caught in the "boxers".

Why not shave before leaving the house? Must some guys sprout a mohawk or dreds down there if it cannot be managed? Or if something is too big....why not get it lanced to fit?

Guys and dolls with "rough packing" and "irregular strapping" respectively. Guys....just to the center will be just fine. Ladies...get some good bras with heavy duty straps...do not leave your goodies divided(half in and half out) showing through your blouses...or with nipples on top of your clavicles, near your armpits or by your belly buttons. Or one boob hanging on your shoulder and the other tucked inside your waist belt! Please help womankind grow old gracefully.

People who suck their teeth like pacifiers during and after meals to remove debris, instead of quietly using a toothpick, a dental floss or a tooth brush.

Loud belchers even with the absence of any drop of booze in sight followed by a lame "excuse me".

Irritating airplane passangers who jump out of their seats, after long flights, like they are possessed as soon as that fasten your seat belt sign is off. Only to clog up the aisles extending their smelling armpits and butts all over your face. Airline passangers too lazy to get up and excuse themselves but would rather gas the hell out of you(babies and the elderly are excused of course)

People who have strands of hair sticking out of their nostrils like old sows.

People with oily, shiny noses which also look like beehives of cholesterol. You can literarily see the cheese coming out of those pores.

People who display scaly, dry and un-lotioned feet in sandals for all to see.

People who have lived abroad that say things like "it doesn't worth it" and "2 dollar" Or ask questions like "Who do?"

Parents who let their kids run around with unkepmt hair. Especially those malnourished-looking pony tails like the "Obama" little girls carry around.

"I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN LIFE"

I don't know which is worse, the sentence or that it's written in capital letters!

My sister, I've been noticing him with this word whenever he ends a sentence. Pretty annoying but after I read couple of his messages....I got used to it cus I see it as what he wishes for people..simple guy I think.

liloldlady · Jan 20, 2009 , 10:06 PM

Better to be simple, and than a fake sophisticat.

calling a person simple because they are not pretensious is in bad taste and wrong

It is unkind to criticise a person for good wishes to his kith and kin

Imagine; the Ranter' made a post

and did not use a single rant icon

:.....so i have decided to use it for him

Shoko Loko Bangoshe · Jan 21, 2009 , 04:26 AM

Another rantworthy scenario.

Going to the laundromat in freezing weather, only to realise that I've left some coins behind. (Why can't laundromats use cashless payment?)

Returning to the laundromat to put my clothes in the dryer (again in freezing weather), only to find that the spin drier has moved slower than an overweight pregnant elephant and so my clothes are still soaking wet, and so I need more coins (which I don't have).

Returning yet again to the laundromat to pick up my dried clothes (still in freezing weather) only to realise that I've forgotten to take the bag to carry the clothes in. Grrrrrr!!!!

DeepThought · Jan 21, 2009 , 04:34 AM

Shoko, thanks for opening this thread Ojaree.

My reason for posting the rants?. No reason at all.

I just like the way it looks.

Gosh! Here are some more

Wheww!. Now I'm off to the square to look for some trouble
