^ Man, I could fill this thread up to the 60 page limit with just retail stories, but thats what customerssuck.com is for.

I'd rather hear personal stories from someone I "know" (as much as one can on a forum) than read them on a website that is likely blocked here at work.[/QUOTE]

Oh, not a shot at anybody or their stories. The rants I've posted have ALL come from my 8 years at Shoppers Drug Mart. I don't know what I would have done to that Honda Civic if I hadn't been in my uniform and on the clock at the time. I hope some good citizen took the time to pee on it.

Just saying that I will show some reserve and try to come up with some more original complaints.

I've got one

...if you cite the "those who can't, teach" bit to your professor. Esp. after you screwed up.

(esp. when the prof just sold some work to the very company you constantly deify.)

That's pretty shitty. And if you try it on an education professor you get caught in a logical loop.

if you have a corvette, AND have a handicap sign for your car (differentiating from a sticker ON the car).
Pisses me right the fuck off.

OOoooh, I saw that exact goddamn thing the other day. They were in one of the handicapped spaces when I was driving my Dad (who walks with a cane) to the grocery store. So we had to park half the goddamn lot away. Fucker didn't even bother with the handicapped tag.

It bothered me until, on the way out, I saw an elderly woman repeatedly whack the side of the truck with her cane until an elderly man in a Buick with handicapped plates pulled up.

 

[Officer_Charon]

There's a reason I cite handicapped violations whenever I see them. Think I got a complaint the other day because of it, too. *chuckles*

You might be an ass if you can't shut up about your God-Damned football team, fellating them in every single conversation you have with everyone. FFS, even the former college assistant coach doesn't talk up his school's team to the extent you do.
The Cowboys? Really?

 

[sixpackshaker]

The Cowboys are Awesome!!!

I have an ass of a friend that will ask me questions about Football, and any time I bring up the Cowboys he tries to cut me off or insult me... His fave team it the 49'ers. Which he can not shut up about at all. And he's never lived near SF.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Hey, watch what you say about my Niners... *grins* It's one of those rivalries that doesn't really make sense any more, it's just engrained.

Really, I don't follow football so much... I might enjoy it more if it weren't for douches like this guy.

 

[Troll]

Ah, the glory days of the 49ers/Cowboys rivalries... those we good times...

I agree completely, btw. People who take sports rivalries WAY too seriously are obnoxious. A little bit of humorous trash-talk is fun, but it's a thin line that is often crossed into asshole territory.

I would argue that Lakers/Celtics, Dodgers/Giants, Cardinals/Cubs, etc. are all up there as well. It's just that Yankees/Red Sox has gotten more public over the last decade, and the success of the two teams has made it more visible.

How to deal with people who tailgate you on the highway(or anywhere for that matter)

1. get the following items from your local Wal-mart.

A water baby (in the girls toy aisle) It is a regular looking baby doll with a hollow body that is supposed to be filled with warm water to make the doll all soft and jiggly like a real baby. Also get 3 jars of strawberry preserves. (It has to be preserves, jams and jellys don't work as well).

2. Fill the water baby with the strawberry preserves until it just about to bust and dress the baby with the clothes that came with it.

3. The next time someone tailgates you, throw the baby out of your window onto their windshield. The will see a jiggly baby go flying toward them and then explode into a pile of bright red and chunky gore.

4. Profit.

By that reasoning, the University of South Carolina and Clemson University have a better rivalry because they've been at it for 114 years.

By his own reasoning the Giants-Dodgers rivalry is bigger since it's the longest running rivalry in baseball.

 

[Null]

How often do the Giants and Dodgers play each other for a playoff spot? Most years, one of them isn't even close to contention. In fact, in over a hundred years, they've only been postseason opponents a few times. Perhaps a dozen times in total has one team played a significant role towards the championship of the other. The Dodgers haven't even been to a World Series since 1988.

Now, the Yankees and Red Sox, the rivalry is about 109 years old (1901 - today). But add into that all the trades between the two teams that have gone the Yankees way - the Yankees dynasty was founded largely by players the Red Sox traded to them, the 19 times they have faced each other in the playoffs - hell, 5 years straight from 1998 to 2003 it was Yankees and Sox 1-2 in the AL East. For the last 10 years, both teams have been top contenders. Johnny Damon, one of the most popular players on the Red Sox during his stint there, was compared to Benedict Arnold for going to the Yankees.

A rivalry that matters is a better rivalry.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Right Null. Like what is talked up as a major rivalry is University of Texas vs. Texas A&M. Ask an Aggie who their big rival is, they'll say UT (actually the get pissy and say tu.) Ask a Longhorn and they will say Oklahoma is the rival, I guess that the Sooners feel the same but I don't really know that many.

A&M has not mattered in Football for 20+ years, and UT and OU have had many national championship runs made or ruined by that game.

You drive a fancy sports car but make a fucking stink about spending $3 on parking in the private parking lot of a non-profit organization to go to a free concert in the park. Eat a dick.

The Giants and Dodgers usually knock each other out of contention during the season. How many times has it come down to a Giants/Dodgers series to decide who wins the NL West? It happens all the time, and it matters plenty. Of course that's using your specific definition of "matters," which I disagree with. A rivalry is not defined by the numbers of times they play each other in the postseason.

 

[DarkAudit]

The Red Sox would like you to believe there was a rivalry all this time. in the 1950s, and especially the 1960s, the Red Sox didn't matter to *baseball* in general, let alone to the Yankees. Only through the grace of God and the Kansas City A's did the Sawx miss finishing in the cellar in '65 with a 62-100 record.

 

[Reboneer]

You might be an ass if you derail this thread to talk about sports rivalries.


Also, if you walk out of a public toilet (or any toilet really) without washing your hands.

The onus is on you to prove you're *not* an ass.

Any internet presence invalidates your argument.

I think the bigger asshole is the guy who doesn't let people merge in front of him, and tailgates the guy in front of him to prevent other people "beating" him to the merge. That is the guy that is going to cause the accident.

This is me! Except the part causing accidents. More like mutual middle fingers.

Oh and if this was legal then cops wouldn't be parked at rushhour chokepoints and not pull over people who are trying to cut in at the start of the line. But then again, this is Canada and we have strange customs over these parts.

 

[IronBrig4]

How about if you are pissed at a cashier/waitress/sales associate because they won't bend over backwards for you, and then you loudly yell for the manager and shout "I DEMAND that you terminate their employment!"

Hasn't happened to me, but it does happen.
