What the Hell?

I’m so mad right now I want to scream and throw things.

Posted a review, not even one of mine, over on TestFreaks the other day. Apparently I used the wrong Amazon link. It was the right link to the actual manufacturer though, just the Amazon was broken actually, not even wrong, it just went to an Amazon error page.

This rep is emailing me, and messaging me over Facebook to fix this broken link. Well I was kind of busy with some serious family issues and I couldn’t take care of right then and I figured I’d take care of it sometime today when I got time. I would would fix it and then email him letting him know.

It seems it needed to fixed immediately, I needed to drop everything I was doing and fix the link. This guy had the balls to actually email the main TestFreaks site this morning and essentially tell on me like a little kid. It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the guy emailed and messaged me.

I mean really? I guess it never occurred to the guy that I was kind of busy with other things and apparently his link is more important than anything else in the world.

I can’t get over that he told on me like a little kid would do.

It’s not even 24 hours yet. Is there a time limit to respond to messages that I didn’t know about?

What the hell? Just why?

Doctor Appointment Cancellation Fees

 

Yeah another rant, me bitching and moaning.

This past Monday my kid had a doctor appointment at 5:30pm.

About 2:30pm the nurse calls and cancels the appointment as the doctor is sick.

How can they do that?

They canceled the appointment like 3 hours before but yet their policy is we must cancel at least 24 hours before or have to pay a fee of like $50.

How the hell does that work?

They can cancel whenever they damn well please, the same day, a few hours before, but yet I have to give at least 24 hours notice or pay them!?!?

What the hell?

That makes no sense to me.

When I was on the phone I was tempted to say:  ‘That’s too bad she’s sick but our policy is that you give us 24 hours notice for cancellation or pay a fee of $50’

I wanted to say, it was right there on the tip of my tongue but I was nice and said ‘ok fine’.

I don’t understand how the hell they can cancel like that but we can’t.

It’s not fair, it’s just not fair at all they get to do that.

Until we as people stand up and do something about stuff like this, it’s just going to keep happening.

What’s fair for one should be fair for the other.

Oh whatever…

 

Why Won’t iTunes Just Work?

ituneipod

So I do own a few Apple devices but I hate them personally, and I do not understand how they are so popular?! I’ve learned to hate Apple and every time I try and use one of their devices that hate just grows and it’s turning into rage. Right now I just want to smash my iPod Touch into a million pieces.

Have You Ever Noticed…

Question_mark

 

I’ve been around for while and I’ve noticed things in life that just aren’t right and shouldn’t be. So I was bored and compiled a little list of them…

 

-nothing seems to work as it should, nothing is easy-to-assemble really, that ‘some assembly required’ means you’ll be there all day

-nothing is ever as good as it sounds –Slushie Magic is a prime example, my kids just have to have it and it’s just horrible. I review product’s and oftentimes things just aren’t as good as they are hyped to be. I can recall numerous times I’ve went and bought something and it just wasn’t at all what I expected and it was nothing as good as the hype surrounding it.

-the doorbell always rings when you’re in the bathroom, doing dishes, taking a nap or any other time other than when you’re just sitting there doing nothing?! I don’t get it, I can sit here and know a delivery is coming and it won’t come until I decide to get in the shower.. it’s amazing really…

-every project that should be easy seems to end up taking more time than it should – seriously the simplest project always seems to take more time than it should. I usually end up having to do two or three other things to get the original thing done.

-no matter how prepared you think you are, you never have the right tool, size washer, nut etc or thing you need to get the job done. You always have to go looking for it?! I was working on my gate and fence, trying to fix it and I must have had to make twenty trips back into the house to get things, it always seemed like I just didn’t have what I needed.

-the phone will always ring when you walk away from it – this annoys me to no end, I’ll be waiting for a call and the phone won’t ring until I walk away from it, it makes no sense…

-you lose your cellphone signal just when you want to make a call – I have a cellphone of course, but I don’t use it often but it seems 9 out of 10 times when I do decide to actually need to use it the signal is horrible…

-parenting is not as easy as it seems – this one is just amazing, I never realized what my mother went through. No matter what I try with my kids nothing seems to work and they just don’t appreciate anything. No matter what they want more, they’re never satisfied with anything you do or give them, they always have to have more. The months preceding this past Christmas I watched for sales on video games and I ended up getting them 48 games for Christmas and that still wasn’t enough, they still wanted more a few days later. They still haven’t played all of them yet, and they want more games. They have a 3DS, DSi XL and DS Lite and an iPod Touch and an Android tablet for portable gaming but that’s not enough, no mater what they always want to use the same thing. they always end up fighting over one of them.

-life is nothing like that book or movie -people should really stop expecting it to be. I can’t stand this, all these movies and books about romance and life and it’s not like that in real life, I wish people would stop expecting it to be…

-you never have enough money no mater what you do -  this is self-explanatory I think

-people have become horrible over the year- I remember when we could leave doors and windows open, and walk down the street safely, but you can’t do that anymore. You need bars on your windows, security systems, cameras and all that and it’s because people have become horrible. Society has just fallen from what it used to be, I’ve watched society just decay over the years… once great and friendly neighborhoods and now considered ghettos with gangs and drugs all of the place…

-people just don’t really seem to care about laws… right through red lights and stop signs – police are really good with this as well, no turn signals, don’t stop etc. We now have the no texting and driving law here and people don’t give a crap, I still see them doing it, weaving back and forth into the other lane while they’re texting. They just don’t care about anything but themselves…

-no matter what you have you always want more – I think this has always been true, no matter what you have you want more

-life in general just sucks overall – maybe it’s just me, but I think life just sucks in general overall. I’m sick of all the politically correct crap, I’m sick of having to watch everything I say and do because I might offend someone and be sued or put in jail for it. it’s just ridiculous….

 

-The nanny state – I’m so sick of the government sticking their noses into everything and every part of daily life. Prime example: If I want to buy a large drink then I should be allowed, its shouldn’t be a law and be illegal to buy a large drink… just goofy all of it…

Religion and War, I Don’t Get it

It’s that time of the year, it’s Christmas, the holidays whatever.

I went to Catholic school, raised Italian Catholic, but when my Grandmas died I pretty much stopped going to church and I lost my beliefs at that point I think. Then again I’m not sure I ever believed in an all powerful, all knowing invisible being up there. It would be nice I guess to think that there really is a heaven or at least there’s something after all of this thing we call life. it’s hard to believe that it just ends in nothingness, at least I hope not.

Anyway, the point of this post is I don’t get it, all the wars going on right now over who’s god is better basically.

They’re killing people over who has the better god. Last I checked, in all religions murder was a bad thing, and you’re supposed to preserve life. At least I think so, I’m no expert on religions, but I thought that was a common theme amongst them anyway. So I have to ask why go against the major rule of your god and murder people in his name?

People are being killed, innocent women and children and babies over some invisible being that’s just floating around up there.

That just makes no damn sense to me at all.

They’re killing people over something they don’t even know exists for sure. Yes they believe it does, but they have no real proof, they haven’t met this being, they haven’t seen this being but yet they kill people if they don’t believe in this being. Correction, actually people are getting killed because they don’t believe in the SAME god. Yes they have to believe in this god and not that god, you can’t believe in your god, you have to believe in my god or I’ll kill you. That last sentence about sums up all of the wars going on right now, or at least 99% of them I think.

Again, makes no sense to me.

It all reminds me of children fighting over toys and who’s toy is better. My god is better than your god, na na na na na

With kids and toys sure it escalates but kids figure it out and it usually doesn’t turn violent, or lead to murder and genocide. Kids have a little spat and then a little bit later they’re with each other just fine. We’ve got countries and peoples at war for decades even centuries now over who’s god is better.

If there really is a god, I wish he or she or it would just come down here and tell them to cut it the fuck out already, seriously here, just cut it out. If there is that being out there, give them a sign and tell them to just stop killing in your name already.

We as a species are never going to achieve or reach our full potential until stupid stuff like this stops. Millions of people have died in name of who’s god is better. How many of those dead could have been the next Einstein or Mozart or had the ability to change the world as we know it?! We’ll never know because they never had the chance to realize they’re potential because they were murdered over who’s god is better.

It just makes no sense to me at all, it’s senseless killing plain and simple. If little kids can figure it out, why can’t so-called grownups do it?

Why can’t we just believe in what we want to believe or not believe and not be killed for believing in it or not?

Yeah, it just makes no damn sense to me at all.
