I used to be a gum popper and always had people telling me to stop and I even had a friend tell me she was going to "pop" me very severely if I didn't quit! As I have gotten older it makes my jaws hurt anyway. lol
My rant: I hate it when someone is trying to tell me something and has to tell every little detail when it could be explained in two sentences. It gets a little frustrating.

Time this thread got going again!
Today, went into my local supermarket - called Sainsburys.
They have a loyalty scheme called Nectar where you scan your card and collect points when you buy things - not massive incentive, but if you save up throughout the year you can exchange the points for booze (sorry I mean goods) at Christmas.
The other main advantage is that you can scan your purchases as you go round, pack them in bags you have brought and just get the scanner checked at the end - they called it "Fast Track"
So far so good, works great. You occasionally get a rescan, either if you have a different lot of stuff in your shopping, or every few months, but no complaints.
So, Monday morning (shopping day) all shut down because "We are introducing a new system!"

Rant is really "If it ain't broke DON'T fix it!"
Big organisations seem to think that things HAVE to be changed every few years - because new and shiny = better. NO it bloody doesn't!
I will now have to re-enrol in their new scheme, don't know if the points I have collected will be transferred, or whether I will need a new card etc............
I may well end up going elsewhere!

I was going to put this in the douchbag thread, but I think I'm the douchbag, so here it is.

Saturday we were done our workout at 11, Tara and I were talking. I saw a car drive into our parking lot, 2 young guys got out, dressed so nicely, I knew they were mormans. I invited them in and gave them an ice tea to drink. They started talking to us, I interrupted them after a while and said I had a question for them. Their smiling and said ask anything, so I asked if it's true that their virgins? Tara coughs and says OMG Julie, they guys say their committed to the lord. I told them Tara and I would give them a good time, or at least a blow job so they don't have to jerk off tonight. They said we can't do that and I told them don't worry we'll do everything. They left in a hurry, I have a feeling their not coming back :rotffl:

Clearly, I need to start re-evaluating my spiritual beliefs.

Oh my gosh Julie! I wish I had thought of that when they used to come to my place a lot. lol It got to the point I just wouldn't go to the door. Now they don't seem to come in my area anymore. We must be a lost cause. lol

Don't feel too bad Julie - sounds better than the "can't stop now, I need to go to the hospital for my top-up transfusion" which I use for the Jehovah's Witnesses!

Yes cudos to Julie! I don't know her personally (wish I did) but she seems like she is quite a character and I love reading her comments!

Today's offering will either have you saying - O Yeah, or just thinking I'm a total nutter!

OK - so what idiot started talking about 24/7 and why does everyone use it - because its WRONG!
If I'm talking about say 3 months, I would put 3/12 - because there are 12 months in a year.
If I'm talking about 8 hours I would write 8/24 - because there are 24 hrs in a day.
If I'm talking about 5 days, I would write 5/7 - because there are 7 days in a week

So where does 24/7 come from?? It means 24 DAYS - NOT 24 hours - so WTF, why does everyone use it and say it?????
GET IT RIGHT

OK here's another.
If you go into a building via a door that says "Exit" - it isn't an exit it's an entrance!

But if you walk backwards it is an exit not an entrance! Complicated Peter! lol

But you are still going in - you've got me so I don't know if I'm coming or going!

Did I do the rant about stupid Health & Safety messages on food and drink.
For example - McDonalds coffee - "Caution may contain hot fluids" - actually that's true , usually coffee in McDonalds is luke warm
or the classic on a bag of salted, roasted peanuts - "May contain nuts" - Bloody well hope so.o
or over the counter sleeping pills - "may cause drowsiness"

Brand new cars whose indicators don't work - yep they turn at roundabouts or junctions and you don't know they are turning because there is no flashing light (it may be the drivers mind you)!
American cars where the rear indicators are either red like the brake lights, or are the brake lights that flash - can't you guys afford an extra orange light on your cars so we can see what you plan to do.

Drivers who don't realise that these light are "indicators", meaning they indicate what you want to do. They are not lights of invulnerability which mean you put them on and can do whatever you want!!!!

Wanna hear something funny? When I lived in quebec, and went to driving school, the instructor told me not to use the indicator lights ever. It's best not to let others know what you are planning on doing because then they will have the chance to block you. Driving is very aggressive there. No word of a lie.

Hey, at least they make an attempt to actually use their indicator lights.

Down here in South Louisiana we have this certain class of drivers who don't even use their lights. Even at night. Not to mention, the ones who still manage to drive with one headlight broken. I was walking to work one evening, and had to stop myself from crossing a street just before a car with only one light working nearly ran me over. They still pull drivers over and ticket them for this, right? RIGHT??? :please: :please:
