Angry with co-workers who try to make whatever project they are working on, no matter how mundane, seem like the most important thing in the interest of the company. I work with an OLD guy, Angels fan, who takes that practice to the extreme on a daily basis. Three reasons why I detest him -

What kind of punk-bitch would punch a 101 year old woman in the face. That kind of shit makes me angry. Fuck, everyone's got a mom or gandmom. What an asshole.
This fucker didn't just snatch a purse, he punched a 101yr old woman with a walker a few times in the face, (and then an 80something year old later on.) And what gets me is that the 101'er didn't go down with one punch to the face, the mugger had to hit her again, breaking her cheek before she went down.

Maybe she had it coming. Maybe she mouthed off. She could have slapped him first. There's more to this story.

I think he realized the shame in his actions, so he moved up a level of competition and took on the 80-year-old.

Not to make light, but she shouldnt have went down. Dont give them a reason to hit you again.
What a scumbag. Someone who was old enough to be going through elementary school during World War One should not have to be dealing with this crap.

I HATE PEDICABS!!!!!
Yeah, I see you, you don't have to ring the bell at every person standing in the crosswalk. WE KNOW, you are looking for a fare. If I wanted you, I'd fucking Hail you!!!
And these sons-of-bitch euro-trash slackers can shut the fuck up with their snot comments - 'oh, well have fun waiting for a taxi.'
'Oh yeah, well I hope you get broadsided by a firetruck you fucking piece of shit Frog."

I need to cut & paste this in its entirety, just in case the link goes bad... this dude is angry & his rant cracked me up, because he is SOOOOO right! RANT: Airline Travel Etiquette
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2007-02-28, 8:31AM PST
Alright people, some airline travel etiquette needs to be established. Here are a few suggestions that will make everyone’s life easier, so please… pay attention:
Rule #1 - Security. Yes, it’s a bitch. Yes, the TSA employees they hired from the nearest clinic for the terminally stupid are an insult to anybody with a hint of gray matter, but com’on. Throw the rest of us a bone here:
You’ve been standing in line for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes you finally get to the table with the little gray bins. Now is NOT the time to hold up everyone else in line while you take off your six earrings, your 20 bracelets, your necklace, your watch and anything else you KNOW DAMN WELL will set off the alarm. The time to do this was sometime during the previous 45 minutes when you were standing in line complaining about how slowly the line was moving. Take all that stuff off and throw it in your carry-on BEFORE you get to the table.
For those of you with laptops, yes you need to take it out of the bag. The 8 signs you past while standing in the aforementioned line weren’t kidding. Have it out, put it in the bin and move along.
Rule #2 - Potty breaks. With certain exceptions, potty breaks are denied within the first hour of flight. It’s your own damn fault you decided to wait in line for 15 minutes at the terminal Starbucks for your daily non-fat chi extra-tall cup-of-crap instead of taking care of business (and by therefore compounding the problem). If you’re that bad at time management, or set your priorities such that you can’t take 2 minutes out of your busy day to take a leak, then it’s your own damn fault and you can just hold it. Exceptions would include: (1) you’re in an aisle seat, (2) children, or (3) you have a baby with a poopy diaper – and yes I can smell it. Yes EVERYONE within 10 rows can smell it. Feel free to do what you got to do but PLEASE don’t ignore it.
Ladies, if you’re pregnant, insist on an aisle seat. The airlines will accommodate if you push them hard enough. Old people, if you have a weak bladder, the same goes for you.
Rule #3 - Bitch. If I’m unfortunate enough to ride bitch (aka, the middle seat) then I automatically get both armrests. It’s called making the best of a bad situation. I don’t care how much you spent on your ticket – and if you had that much money you would be up there in 1st class with the rest of the I’m-so-important-I-need-a-curtain-to-shelter-me-from-those-coach-people crowd.
Rule #4 - Assumptions. When airborne, you need to make some assumptions. For those of you seated behind me, you need to assume that I am sound asleep in my chair trying to get a little sleep before my big presentation in a few hours. This means that you are NOT to use my chair to pull yourself up out of your seat, shaking it violently as you struggle for balance. I realize there isn’t a lot of room, but the solution is simple… use your armrests, slightly turn your body, and use YOUR chair for balance. If works for me, it can work for you.
For those of you seated in front of me, you need to assume I’m feverishly working on my laptop for that big presentation and EASE your seat back, nice and slowly, allowing me to make adjustments as necessary. This means NOT reclining your seat with such fury as to crack the lid of my laptop because it caught on the tray-table latch (I’d especially like to thank the lady seated in 19B on United Flight 920 on February 21st from San Diego to Dulles for that one). I don’t care if you want to recline your seat, just GO SLOWLY.
Rule #5 - Do Not Disturb. If I’m wearing headphones, listening to my iPod, it’s code for “please leave me alone and don’t try to engage in conversation.” I don’t care how excited you are to be visiting your 19-year-old niece who lives in Santee. I don’t care how pretty she is and that she’s pregnant with her third child from as many fathers.
If it looks like I’m sleeping, I probably am. It might be hard to tell as I often wear sunglasses when I try to sleep on a plane, but think about this – if I haven’t moved in awhile, I’m asleep. So please, use common sense if you choose to rouse me from my slumber (ie, something catastrophic happening like a wing falling off). The flight attendant serving drinks DOES NOT qualify.
Rule #6 - Parents, control your kids. I’ve traveled all over the US as a kid and I know how incredibly boring even a short flight can be. However, a cramped airliner is NOT the place for tough-love. If your kid is throwing a tantrum, GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT – PERIOD. If your child is kicking my chair I WILL say something – and not to the child, but to YOU. The other day I ran into a local 7-11 and they had portable DVD players on sale for $60. Seems to me like a pretty inexpensive insurance policy – otherwise I suggest adding a triple shot of Children’s NyQuil to their grape juice, also available at 7-11.
Rule #7 - You finally made to your destination. Congratulations! Don’t stop. That is to say, you just walked off the jetway and are now in the terminal - KEEP MOVING. Every single airport I’ve been to in this country has signs posted everywhere, so if you aren’t quite sure where you need to go, simply walk strait ahead to the far wall and figure it out from there. Stopping at the jetway door or in the immediate vicinity creates a hellacious roadblock that the second half of the plane has to navigate around. Some of us actually have the ability to walk and read at the same time – no problem if you’re not one of them, just please don’t slow those of us down who can.
This last part isn’t really about travel etiquette so much as it is about the Airport Nazis that patrol the pick-up and drop-off area at San Diego Lindbergh. I’ve been meaning to write something… suppose this is as good a time as any.
You guys are the biggest bunch of fucking assholes I have ever had to deal with in my entire life. When I go the airport and you guys are giving me shit, I say, “see kids, that man is why you need to study hard in school and get good grades – you don’t want to end up like him, right?” I can understand ticketing someone who parked out front and walked away – fuck tow it or even set it ablaze for all I care, but what you douche-bags do is downright harassment. News flash – me driving slowly, waiting for my passenger – WHO I CAN SEE AND IS WALKING OUT OF THE TERMINAL, is not the same as being as being parked or stopped. Here’s an idea, if my vehicle isn’t moving, why don’t you go stand in front of it while you write me that ticket? Yeah - that’s what I thought.
With that said, minus the KSAN Airport Nazis, I hope you found this beneficial. Please refer back to it as often as necessary.
Thank you and have a nice day. stolen without permission from: www.craigslist.org/about/best/sdo/286035868.html

Sounds like bits and pieces of any of the 1000 stand-up comedy rants I have heard regarding "airline etiquette." I hope this guy is sending out a lot of royalty checks.

I got one. Applies to Planes, Offices, and others........... IF you go to the bathroom, TRY NOT TO HAVE AN EXORCIST experience....but if you have to, CLEAN THE FUCK UP. I've traveled on flights where the bathroom..er, Lavatory looks like the previous occupant had a simulatanious FULL BODY evacuation. TOILET, SINK, FLOOR, MIRROR, WALLS WTF? I've pissed during turbulence...I've even pissed with turbulence from within while the plane rocked on the outside. Somehow I can still manage to hit the target. The fucking Sec39 stalls are cleaner than these shitholes. And I'm not talking about the Ghetto Jet Blue Red Eye to San Juan, I'm talking British Airways, United. Nasty Ass People

What is this shit, something about technosexuals? What the shit is that? Why is there all these different groups of people, first metros, now technos? Why is there a need for all thse groups? I hate these fags, who didn't get enough love from their parents, listen to emo and cut themselves, so they need to dress all in black, or fall in love with a hobby then have to name it so they feel they belong somewhere or to something. Those assholes should man the fuck up or just kill themselves already.

Some concert with a Dukes of Hazzard theme was called off in Ohio because some morons from the NAACP considered the show racist. Their complaint? The General Lee had a confederate flag on the top.
This kind of politically correct malarky really gets me mad. There aren't too many more G rated shows than the Dukes of Hazzard. This is one of the most disgusting examples of catering to idiots I have ever seen.

So my cousin goes to OSU studying some form of polotics and she plans on moving and joinging Obamas campaign trail after she graduates this year. So we're talking about this and that and she makes the claim that people in the south are less likely to vote for Guliani because of his name. My counter was that these people in the south aren't going to be able to pronounce or spell Rudys name but Obama, who has the same middle name as a dictator the US recently took out of power, the last name, minus one letter add another is Osama, the man responsible for 9/11 is going to be a big vote getter for people in the south? Oh yeah he's black, i'm sure the people in the south are ready to vote for a black president. Of course after expalining this to her and pretty much saying if Obama does get elected(big stretch) he's going to be the frist president assasinated since JFK without question, I'm a fucking moron and don't know what I'm talking about. Now, I may not be as educated as her in some areas, but if she says Rudy doesn't have a chance cause of his name, Obama has a better chance, am I really the fucking moron?
Provinbg once again why religion and polotics are the most evil force in the universe and the only reasons there are wars on this planet.
It's 10:30 and already I'm handing out the Cactus James Moron Award of the day to my cousin Gen. Good job dummy.

As much as I love Rudy, he has very little chance in the red states, and it is not for his name, it is for his divorce/cheating on his wife. Although, if there is a candidate he could beat, it is a black muslim or a woman... so hey, there IS hope.
The Italian name would be a problem *if* there was a candidate with a waspier name running agaist him, but the name recognition after 9/11 could counteract that. People vote for somebody they heard of...
The only way a woman gets elected president anytime soon in this country, is if she is running against another woman.
The only way a black man gets elected is if he is running against another man of color or a woman.
Not saying it is right, it just is.

I actually agree with you on mostly all of that except Rudy. I fucking hate him. He wasn't all that effective during 9/11 in a city in crisis, he can run a country better?

It's skecthy really, I mean communication wasn't all that great, and while you can't pin that 100% on Rudy, I just think for as hectic as it was it could have been better given the circumstances. It's not fact by any means, and I'm not trying to make it seem like it's concrete, just my dumbshit opinion.

James, you're insane. Its the way Rudy HANDLED 9/11 that made the city, and much of the country, fall in love with him.
Holy crap.

Anyone who can't tell the difference between Obama and Osama doesn't deserve to vote.
Then again, most of the people in this country probably don't deserve to vote.
