Would anyone be opposed to an anger venting thread? What with all the stress and general crap happening around the world everyday I would imagine that a lot of people feel as pissed off at the end of the day as i do. Possibly even more so! I could come home every night and just vent in my room to no one in particular, but feedback from enlightened individuals is a lot better. Of course it wouldn’t just be me. I honestly would not mind hearing about other peoples problems as well. If its a stupid idea let know. If not……….rage on, tomorrow is a new day.

Kip link=topic=4770.msg47744#msg47744 date=1316974139:
I had a job interview at a new Marco’s Pizza that is opening soon two Wednesdays ago. I was told I was hired and someone would be in touch to tell me when training was and such.
Instead, I got a phone call from a guy I’m assuming is an owner asking if I could come in for a second interview. I said that was fine and I did the interview. At the end of the interview he said he would call me by Sunday night(the interview was Saturday morning) and tell me if I was hired or not. I gave him my home and cell numbers and advised him that I was going away on vacation next week, but he could call me on my cell phone.
I still haven’t gotten a phone call.
Fucking douche nozzle. If you tell someone you’re going to call them by such and such a time, at least fucking call them. I would’ve been fine if you had called me and told me I didn’t get the job. Then I could stop waiting and start looking for another job.
Now I’m trying to decide if I want to waste my time drafting an e-mail to send to their corporate office telling them how unprofessional their franchisee is.
Most managers say that out of politeness, as well as to gauge your response.
And considering managers these days, especially at a restaurant or fast food joint with a lot of turnover, have ridiculous stacks of applications it would be a complete waste of time if a manager called every single person to tell them they -don’t- have a job.
I just got a job at Blockbuster, and I had to go through two interview processes and she flat out told me she’s interviewed 30 people already.
Also, it’s a REALLY bad habit to stop looking for a job on the hopes that you’ve landed one already. Never stop filling out applications, even if you HAVE a job, don’t stop.
Re: Venting anger.
I really don’t get what I’m doing wrong in these interviews. I dress nice, I’m well spoken(IMO), I’m always early, I already have a part-time job(I read online that people with part-time jobs get hired more than people that are applying and have no job). I’m doingeverythingright.
Would you rather hire a guy that is dressed nicely(khaki pants, button-down collared shirt) or someone that has tattoos all over their body that can’t be covered that is wearing stained jeans and a t-shirt?
And another rant on a similar topic:
What the fuck is the point of those stupid 100+ question surveys you sometimes have to take before you interview for a job? I had to take one of those when I applied for a job at Golden Corral.

This is not true. People who have part time jobs are LESS likely to get a secondary job primarily because of the fact that it is a pain to schedule around another job.

I’d personally chose someone who can get the job done over someone who dress’s nice but that’s just me.

Really? They are going to keep the crappy part time job when they get hired for the full time job? I don’t think so.

From my experience, employers are much more interested in people who have sufficient work ethic to accept a job that is “beneath” them and work while they seek employment that better fits their job skills.
On the resume, it always looks better, when you have a layoff or some other sort of termination, to have “Craptacular Company Shitty Job” filling the gap rather than “Sitting on my ass drawing unemployment”.

Re: Venting anger.
Just another headache…
Gonna make this one quick. So I went in to work with a headache today. Not expecting sympathy, it happens to everybody I suppose. What was weird was that right before every rush (customers come in flocks) the headache would start up again, even before the first customer walked through the door. Most of them were cool and I had little problem helping them. However, there were two instances where I nearly snapped. The first was with an officious douchebag from one of our commercial accounts who walked in and was upset that I did not know who he was or that his company had a discount with us. I didn’t know this because he didn’t first tell me who he was and in the eight months I have worked for the company I have NEVER heard of him or his shop. That guy took up thirty minutes of my time second guessing me and demanding to see what I was typing. Not that he could make heads or tales of it as it was all either part numbers or store numbers (sorry if its a bit technical). He bought what he came in for but kept asking me if I had taken the tax off. And I kept explaining that that the computer does it automatically.
The second instance was quite the opposite. These people took their time asking questions. TOO MUCH FRICKIN TIME!!! There were several other people in line but these folks had me follow them all over the store so they could ask me questions like how many quarts of oil were in a gallon. Or how much something was when the price tag was literally right in front of them! These people took up forty minutes of time just to buy $40 worth of oil and such. Not a bad sale but considering the amount of time spent on them it was not cost efficient. I remember becoming angry at them about halfway through the ordeal and staying that way till they left. Of course my pounding headache was a constant unwelcome companion.
Before anybody gets upset. I know that not everyone knows everything about their car, or how an auto parts store works. I know that a lot of times they ask a question that I have heard a hundred times that day but its the first time THEY have asked it. I don’t have a problem with those customers. The ones I brought up were the douchebags and the horrifically oblivious.
Maybe that wasn’t so quick…hmmm.
Re: Venting anger.
Something that really got stuck in my craw this morning…
I’ve been having problems with my right wrist and forearm for some time now, suffering from excruciating pain after an extended period of typing. At first, the assumption was carpal tunnel, and I was empirically treated for it (because I couldn’t afford to do anything else) for about a year or so. Here recently, I managed to get EMG/Nerve conduction studies done. Lo and behold, I don’t have carpal or any other nerve damage. Next step, rule out neuropathy (where spinal problems cause pain in extremities). MRI of neck. Initial read of the MRI says yes, disk bulges at C5-C6 and C6-C7 probably causing foraminal narrowing, triggering neuropathic reactions. I’m sent to physical therapy to address this issue.
Here’s where it got fun, last week. Physical therapist immediately starts exploring (by manipulating arm, shoulder, wrist, etc) what kind of pain I’m experiencing and what the root cause might be. He’s pretty well convinced that this is an issue with the neck, but it’s primarily a lack of flexibility with the nerve and general weakness in the neck and shoulder that are causing the problems.
Monday, I followed up with the neurosurgeon who ordered the MRI. He looks at it and says "there are no nerve problems in your neck. Nothing’s touching the nerve. Therefore, I’m referring you to an orthopedic for further testing on your wrist/forearm to see if there is anything going on locally that could be causing your (wide variety of pain symptoms starting from the elbow all the way into the fingers) problem.
Tuesday, I go to PT. Therapist (who is also, BTW, a professor at a local college, teaching PT techniques) takes my arm and, very patiently and cautiously, demonstrates every single pain symptom I’m experiencing just by moving my arm and wrist into certain positions. He says “I understand what the surgeon said, but surgeons think with their knives. Everything I just did and the way you reacted to it tells me this is a nerve in your neck.”
So why is it that an MD with 40 years of experience and highly specialized training in nerve-related problems spends $6000 of my money (EMG/NCT and MRI/X-ray) and can’t come to the same conclusion that a gentleman who does not have an actual MD does in 10 minutes of twisting my arm around in funny positions?

A question was asked about a stranger calling for help claiming he’s going to commit suicide and what you would do/say on the phone.
At least half of the answers are either they don’t give a shit and would hang up, or worse, they’d encourage the suicide.
I know it’s a little odd to reference a link in this thread but I found this so wholly disgusting and vile that I had to vent here. I know it’s the internet, I know many of them might just be being sarcastic, and I know I should expect this kind of behavior from people, but still….it pisses me off.

Six grand, my friend. Insurance covered all but about $1200 of it (still no small sum in my current situation).
Yes, the PT believes it can be fixed. Whether it pans out or not, well, I’ve got a lot of exercising between now and then to find out.
Re: Venting anger.
@Jaclyn
I read it. You’re right. Some of them sounded pretty sick and apathetic. If their replies were to be taken seriously of course.
Re: Venting anger.
I read the first page of comments. Would you sit there and talk to them for a while? Jaclyn? WildKarde? At best, you open yourself up to legal liabilities, at worse, you get investigated because your number is the last number they dialed on their phone. I’d say nothing to them and hang up, then call the police and let them handle it. Police are trained for this type of thing. I am not. I’d probably make them more depressed.
Re: Venting anger.
Well……I actually have some unique training in this area because of my last job. Although I had to encourage people to climb a rock wall or to rappel, or the hardest one for most, jump off of a perfectly good tower while connected to a zipline by only a single rope. I had emergency situations that I had to deal with as well. But I understand what you’re saying. In an instance such as this its best to be face to face with the person. I do believe the Good Samaritan law would spare you any legal issues, however I’m not a law student so I’m not entirely sure. But I would definitely call the police because as you said they are trained for it, and have resources that I don’t.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
I remember one case where a good samaritan pulled a lady out of a burning car on a highway somewhere. The lady that was in the burning car ended up becoming a paraplegic because of being pulled out of the car. She sued the good samaritan for a shitload of money and won.
Honestly, I think I would hang up on someone that called me and said they were going to kill themselves. I definitely wouldn’t condone it: I’m not that much of an asshole. I just wouldn’t know what to say to them. I agree with calling the police. They have training to deal with stuff like that; I don’t.

No, I probably wouldn’t talk to them myself. But I could at least point them to a suicide prevention hotline. There’s a difference between not knowing how to help them, and saying things like “I don’t care” or even worse “Go ahead and kill yourself, the world probably is better off without you.”
Re: Venting anger.
Just can’t get ahead…
So I have accepted a new position at work, one that gives me broader abilities as well as a slightly bigger paycheck. It also comes with more responsibilities and stress. I now also have a lot more training to go through, as my new status will allow me to open and close the store and perform other managerial duties. Not quite an assistant manager, but I do get keys. All my training is done on the computers at work and as I said there’s a lot of it. So today I was planning to come in an hour early and start on it. Meaning I come in at noon instead of 1pm. I usually sleep till noon then get up and have an hour to get ready. So anyway, I get a call at 11 am from my manager asking if I was taking a vacation or something as I was supposed to have come in a 10 am to work the midshift (10am-7pm). WHAT!? I had just had the previous two days off and before I left I had checked the frickin schedule and it clearly stated 1pm-10pm! Now instead of being an hour early I was an hour late!!! There goes my training time, oh well, I could always stay after work and start on it then right? So I get to work and its business as usual, but I go to look at the schedule and find out it was changed in the middle of the week and that I had been right about when I was supposed to come in. One of my coworkers was also scheduled to have the day off and after the schedule change he was going to get the next day off (Saturday). Incidentally, the schedule is only supposed to be made on Saturday. So my coworker is the kind of guy who won’t answer the phone when work is calling on his day off. I can sympathize, except now I have to cover his shift as well! NO TRAINING TIME AT ALL! My manager denies having changed the schedule, but its kinda hard to believe him when two people saw the same thing. The schedule didn’t change for anyone else though. I know it wasn’t malicious but it is frustrating. Gonna have to try again.
On an extremely happy personal note. Today I had the highest sales I have ever had!!!
Re: Venting anger.
AGAIN!?!?!?!?………….
It happened again, but this time its my own bloody fault. What happened? An hour late to work, and this time I can’t blame my manager. This is twice inside a week. Its the same as last time, I’m sleeping soundly at 11:57am CST and I get a call from my manager asking “When are you planning on coming to work?” FRICK!!! I told him I would be there as soon as possible. So I get ready and leave the house within five minutes of waking up, I didn’t eat anything as there was no time and I thought about getting something from Taco Bell on the way. But I didn’t because I perceived (correctly) that my manager would have chewed me out if I did. Probably claiming that I didnt care about my job. Luckily there weren’t any awkward moments between us because he had to go to another store to help out with their inventory. But he did say that I didn’t get a lunch break because I came in late. Working seven hours without food sucks especially when you use up most of your energy helping the unruly masses that are our customers. I also had to write down the schedule and bring it home so I won’t be late again. I have a sneaking suspicion that he would have been harder on me if I weren’t one the best sellers in the store (not bragging, just stating).
As for why I was late? Not that it matters. But I thought the day I was coming in early was Tuesday, not Monday. Its has to do with the format the schedule is made in.
Re: Venting anger.
Purged_User link=topic=4770.msg47924#msg47924 date=1317755514:
Yeah - don’t do that again. Great seller or not, three times late = canned in my stores. Especially if you were so late I had to call.
The no lunch break is technically illegal since you worked over 6 hours, but I wouldn’t have pushed it either. lol
Actually, the lunch break after six hours thing depends entirely upon what state you live in and if that state has union laws or just regular employee benefit laws.
For instance, Bloomington Indiana doesn’t have a single law about employees over the age of 18 being allowed breaks.
Re: Venting anger.
D&D Rant-
Ok, I get that a lot of people like 3.5 still even compared to pathfinder. Most people who like 3.5 hate 4th edition but LOVE pathfinder and yet I always seem to attract the ones that can’t ween themselves from the 3.5 rules.
I start a game and I explicitly state (referencing a link to pathfinder rules I provided), “Please stick to the pathfinder rules only,” and yet the first thing people do is go for 3.5 rules and then make me feel like shit when I don’t allow them.
Here’s an example-
At 3rd level, which is where the characters start, every character has at least 2 feats to acquire; feats are basically minor abilities or bonuses that people can acquire over time.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/feat-tree
This page has nearly FOUR HUNDRED feats to choose from, and if you count the 3rd party material on this same frigging website, it’s over SIX HUNDRED FEATS. You get 2 feats and can choose from six fucking hundred of any one you damn well want. And yet I have a player pestering me about “This one 3.5” feat.
I’m like “Dude, can you not just be happy with pathfinder. I know your a 3.5 fan but this is a new rule system and I think you have enough options as it is.” And now he’s pissy with me about it.
Re: Venting anger.

Just FYI: this isn’t directed at anyone. So I just spent two hours putting together a great vent, A LOT of frustration went with it. But when I go to post it it magically erases itself!!!

At least this is still in the proper thread. Lol
Re: Venting anger.
I like to fancy myself a nice guy……………
So this one came out of the blue today. I was at work (recurring theme), and this time I came in 30 minutes early, did some training and then clocked in at 1. The hours wore on, the phones rang off the hook and the customers got what they came for. Business as usual. It actually promised to be a good day. Until about 7:45 when these two women walked in together. I usually have a feeling for who the troublemakers will be when they walk through the door. From the way they walk, the lack of response when they are greeted or from the belligerent smile they wear before they take out their frustrations on you. I got none of that from these women. So they walk up to me ask me if I might know what’s wrong with their horn. So I ask the normal questions: have you checked your fuses, relay, connections, and the horn itself? They answered affirmative to all of these. Okay so their problem is a bit more complicated than I originally thought as it was going to take some troubleshooting to figure out their problem. Troubleshooting takes time and the store was filling up with customers. So when they asked me if I could come outside and look at it I had to decline and as I was about to suggest a great shop down the street one of them just blew up on me. She said “You know what? We’re going to go to AutoZone because they come outside and help you and they aren’t rude like you!” And they started toward the door and almost made it when she turned around and said “What’s your managers name?” I say “Jerry”. (Lets call him Jerry.) She then says “Would Jerry come outside and help us since you’re obviously too busy to help your customer?” I say “Jerry’s at home”. She points at my coworker and says “this isn’t Jerry?” I say “no, that’s Tom”. (Tom). She walks over to him and interrupts his sale and starts calling me all sorts of terrible names. At this point I start helping the other customer in line. She convinces Tom to go outside and loo at her friends car. Glaring at me on on the way out of course. So a little later I am in the back of the store stocking oil when I hear someone come in, all the other customers have left by this point. So I walk up and she is looking the other way and says “Hello?”. I say “Yes?” She turns around and it looks like she may want to apologize for the things she said earlier. Yeah right! She looks at me and say’ "Thanks for nothing, Tom was really helpful and is so nice unlike you! He found out what the problem was because he’s not an idiot like you! Again, thanks for nothing. To which I say “Okay”. And started stocking batteries. As she’s leaving she asks for my managers name again and for mine. I tell her both and she leaves. To be honest, I’m not even all that mad at her. Not because she’s right but because she’s wrong. I do fancy myself a niceguy.
P.S. It turns out her horn was full of water. Yeah. So much for checking it out beforehand.
Re: Venting anger.
We offer both of those services as well. The problem is that it IS an autoparts store and not a shop. For problems that are too big we are supposed to send them to one of the commercial shops that we service. The largest repair we will make is replacing a battery, and that’s done on a case by case basis because most guys should be able to replace a battery, and it is a time consuming process. I like going outside and helping customers. Sometimes they have really awesome cars or trucks. But going outside and helping is a courtesy, not a right.
As for her horn? Apparently she drove her car through a flood and filled it up. Which is thoroughly impressive because we haven’t had enough rain in Texas for the last seven months to flood a rain gauge. Lol
Re: Venting anger.
Maybe you should park somewhere else…………
So at work we have two handicapped parking spaces, right next to the door. They don’t get used very often as we have few handicapped customers. Now, I have mixed feelings about handicapped spaces, mainly because you go to a big store anywhere in America and find that the first 15 spaces for ten rows are ALL HANDICAPPED! Do they need that many spaces? Maybe. I’m not mad about the abundance of said spaces, not really. I get upset (pissed) when I see people abuse them. I’m talking about people who are not limited physically or mentally in any obvious way, and are not there to pick up any handicapped individuals, using the space just because they have placard. Or a wheelchair on their license plate. At work we have one such person who does this, she is a customer of course. Anyway, she will drive up and park in one of the handicapped spaces, hop out and walk in just fine because she ISNT HANDICAPPED!!! She does however have disabled plates on her truck, a truck that is registered to her ex-husband (don’t ask how I know) who IS disabled. He doesn’t care that she uses it I guess. This is the kind of customer that you want to hate. She comes in and will walk straight up to the counter disregarding all the customers currently in line and will interrupt your sale, telling you that she is there to pick up some stupid part that she ordered. Did I mention that she is one of our commercial customers? She knows full well that the commercial counter is in the back of the store, and when you ask her to wait she starts throwing a fit because she “called an hour ago and it should be ready for her”. A little off the original topic I know, I’m just outlining her arrogance. Anywho, she uses the handicapped spaces like they were made for her even though we have a small parking lot. But heaven forbid she ever be inconvenienced by walking 30 extra feet!!! My point? Morality is the deciding factor here. If you are driving a vehicle with a disabled placard or plate but you aren’t disabled and aren’t going to pick up someone who is then park where the rest of us park and save those spots for people who need them.
Re: Venting anger.
Had yet another argument with one of the players of my game, so I booted him.
He constantly argued with me about why or how the “Druid” is the single most powerful class in the game, and yet when you see the tactics to make it powerful, cross referencing multiple optional supplemental books, exploiting loopholes, etc etc, it’s no surprise why.
Yet I kept having to tell him that druids being powerful is a long gone idea. that was the 3.5 days, and this is the pathfinder days. He needs to keep to the pathfinder core rulebooks, and NOTHING else. And yet he went out of his way to try and find 3.5 books he could use and then justify it to me that it’s “balanced.”
Today’s argument though was over whether his dogs could attack any creature or not. Druids have one animal companion, but he decided to literally buy some extra pets that were not animal companions. Because of this, he had to follow the “This isn’t your fierce warrior animal companion, this is a stupid pet dog” rules. I explained to him that his dog won’t attack -everything- he commands it to, regardless of the rules.
So I start the game with a man entering a bar and exploding into flames, and while he’s unharmed everything else is fucked. He orders the dogs to attack, and guess what, I tell him they ignore your command and cower underneath the tables, which started yet another argument about the rules.
I frigging hate rules lawyers. This is why players need to be aware of DM Rule Zero. There is no way I can come up with a house rule for -every- single circumstance that ‘might’ be off in my opinion, so there are occasions where I have to say “No, this is what happens and I say it happens because I’m DM.”
Most of the time, it’s for trivial things. I rarely ever use it for life threatening or other significantly important rules. things like “Your dogs are paralyzed with fear because this dude -exploded with fucking fire-” shouldn’t be unexpected -especially- when the animals are not a druids animal companion, but rather is just another dumb mutt.
Re: Venting anger.
You’re either color blind or…………
So the other day I’m at work, and its packed! Its a typical Monday, with the flocks coming in every five minutes at least. (Customers arrive in groups it seems.) So I’ve just gotten back from my lunch break and the store is as crowded as when I left an hour before. So I clock in and start helping customers out. One customer asks to get some paint out of the paint cage we have, so I grab the key and walk out to it with him. As I’m helping him out I see a black couple (African American if you like) farther down the aisle. The woman gets my attention, she seems upset. She says that “I need to take care of this problem because she almost slipped and she’s the last person that we wanted to fall down in our store.” So of course I’m concerned and I walk down to the end of the aisle to investigate her issue. (My customer already has his paint.) So as I come to the end of the aisle I see two orange cones that hadn’t been there when I left for lunch and between them is an thin oily mess, not very big. Obviously a customer had knocked something over, it broke and they told one of my coworkers about it. My coworker then put the two cones around it but couldn’t completely clean it up because they were needed back up front and because oil spills take a while to clean up. Well the woman was upset because it hadn’t been cleaned up yet and that furthermore the two BRIGHT ORANGE cones weren’t good enough! Ummmmm……………yes they are!!! Proper store clean up procedure was being followed and since it couldn’t be cleaned up right away it had been clearly marked as a hazard. There was more than enough room to go around. I mean, you don’t see a road that is clearly closed, and has the signs to prove it, then drive down it and tell the construction workers to fix it immediately and that their cones and obvious signs aren’t good enough to discourage travel? This woman must have been either color blind or stupid. I’m leaning heavily toward the latter. It would have been funny to see her try to sue the company for it if she actually fell. As it would have been her fault entirely. It would get thrown out pretty quick!
P.S. The mess got cleaned up as soon as we had some breathing room, and on one else had any complaints.
Re: Venting anger.
over this kneck of the woods putting up the cones signifies that you accept liability if someone falls. Most places still put the cones or the caution sign up but i have worked in places that would go ape shit if you put down the caution sign. What we would do is some one would stand as a warning while the other person would get the cleaning stuff and clean it up. Bosses can be idiots. But yeah sounds like that woman was a complete wagon
Re: Venting anger.
That piece of shit pizza place that wouldn’t hire me is now looking for a cashier. Hey, pizza joint, I guess you should’ve hired me huh? Assholes.
Re: Venting anger.
I just got my wisdom teeth removed. IT FUCKING SUCKED. Apparently they had the intention of removing two wisdom teeth and filling in a big cavity, but I was so terrified of the procedure the dentist honestly thought he was giving me a heart attack. Then they took my blood pressure midway through the operation.
190/100.
According to a few various charts I found online, that actually -does- mean I was close to having a heart attack.
Dentist referred me to another dentist who will sedate me instead of just numbing me, so next time I go I can get it all done without too much worry.
Re: Venting anger.
Wow, sounds bad. I remember getting my wisdom teeth removed. I did FDA trials for a pain medicine and I am sure they gave me the placebo. Good luck with the wisdom teeth surgery and please go to a doctor to have that blood pressure looked at. That is two high for even a one time thing.

Re: Venting anger.
That blood pressure wasn’t even that high it was slightly above what is considered optimal and was in no way an indication you were having a heart attack. Your attempt at sympathy is rather discusting. Quit crying and deal with it.

Dude….you’re an idiot.
Optimal is 120/80. Heart attack level is 220-230.

But then again, maybe I should just not care what the guy who’s published statistical data on blood pressure on a website dedicated to medical journals and pay more attention to the idiot on this forum who can’t even spell “disgusting” right.
I say again, you’re an idiot.

Apparently being in the blood pressure range that’s labeled “severe” is nothing to worry about.
Seriously though, Background? Stop whining, especially if you have no idea what you’re talking about. No one wants to deal with your pathetic “tough guy” plea for admiration. We get it, telling people that what they’re going through is nothing makes you feel better, but at the very least have the decency to take it somewhere where they don’t mind that kind of douchebaggery.

@Jaclyn
@Youroriginal comment anyway. I have a little insight into your pain. During August and September of last year I had 12 fillings done. I was eff’ed up for months afterward due to hot and cold sensitivity. It wasn’t until January that most of the pain went away. Apparently I love candy too much (such a thing exists?) and my family has a history of weak teeth. I haven’t had my wisdom teeth taken out though, and hopefully won’t have to. Good luck though, sedation sounds like the way to go.
