Pakage Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) thought id make a thread where you can have a good old rant and post up things that are pissing you off. Im a bit pissed off today so i need to blow off some steam. Ive been having problems with my shoulder since January and been getting physio on it for a good few months now. I finally sorted out getting an ultrasound on it last week because we'd kinda plateau'd with the physio. So i get that done and they say i need a steroid injection into my shoulder. So i let my probation officer know this and she agrees to it so I book myself into my doctor this week to go and get the referral to a specialist for the injection. I rock down to probation today which is my usual reporting day and my probation officers not there. She's on holiday and neglected to tell me. So i have to see some other lady down there that ive never seen before and man did this lady have an attitude. I try and sort out the leave for going to the doctor with her and she tells me that i need to have written confirmation of my appointment, which is something ive never ever had to do before.. So i now have to reschedule my appointment, some how magic up written confirmation of my appointment time even though i cant leave the house, wait till late next week when one of their staff is going to come to my house for a home visit, give them the confirmation and then go to the doctor the week after next.. All this fucking around and this isnt even to get the injection, just to get the referral... So ill probably have to wait around 3-4 weeks in discomfort/mild pain to get this stupid injection, all because the stand-in probation officer wants to give me a bureaucratic headache. Ive been through rehab, ive been on home D for 9 months, I've done everything right in terms of my home detention conditions, I finished my community service 3x faster than i needed to, im in fucking pain and its not good enough that i will get the doctor to sign my absence form while im at the practice or offer to get the doctors on the phone to confirm my appointment.. I have to sit here in pain for up to 2 weeks because they think that somehow im gonna fake going to the doctors and go on a crime spree or some shit even though ive done everything right. fuck that. /rant if that was TLDR, heres the short version: shoulders sore, probation wont let me go to the doctor, i hate that bitch.

Dr Awesome Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Going out on a "date" last night my car got towed yesterday for parking in a carpark with fucking minimal signage & no bar. $200 later.... Oh, and the car park is FREE during the day. Fucking vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Grant Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Auckland Uni administration processes are totally fucked, and I hate being treated like a fucking number "go get that form" "oh you need that signed", "Oh that needs to be stamped by the person thats the furtherest away from where we are now", "oh thats the wrong form..." "I'm sorry you're too late" 2 buildings need to be blown up, the clock tower and the Arts student centre /QQ over @Package: sounds like they been treating you like a number as well..

Merge Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 ive said it once before but il say it again. I fucking hate people who cant indicate properly. A) Indicating the whole way down a straight for more than 200m. These cunts cause every single car from side streets waiting to turn onto the main road think that they are indicating to turn into their street when they are in fact too stupid to realise they've left their indicator on. B) Not indicating when you change lanes, OR indicating AS you change lanes. The number of munters on the motorway who flick their indicator on when they are already half way into another lane.. what the fucks the point of that, in the event of an imminent crash its like punching a guy in the face and split-seconds before the fist makes contact yelling 'watch out' C) Not indicating when turning into a side street. these people I think i hate the most. When I'm waiting at a major intersection for a gap: its clear on the left, one car is coming towards me on the right. I naturally cant go right? wrong. the munter coming towards me actually turns into my road and makes me miss the gap, without indicating. if hed been indicating BEFORE the turn, i would have seen his INDICATION THAT HE WANTS TO TURN. other driving gripes: old people who obviously shouldnt have licences. over 70s just shouldnt be allowed to drive. people who are 'too scared' by traffic behind them so they go 30km/hr in a 50km/hr zone. After travelling like this for some time, they pull over and let everyone pass. (commendable but why not stop being such a driving pussy and drive at 50km/hr) people who wish to parallel park in an obviously insanely busy 4 lane street. These people choose peak traffic times to pull alongside a park, blocking an entire lane of traffic while they make their hideously slow attempts to pull into a parking space. Ive seen at least 5 traffic accidents when people behind them are forced to make a sudden change into the other lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teret Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 auckland driving so "rantable." agree fully except imo you've missed the most annoying indicating offence. When you're sitting in the left lane at lights and its a turn left/go straight lane. The light goes green and the fuckwit in front of you turns on his indicator and waits for mavis and betty to cross the road at an agonizingly slow speed. Mean while 400 cars go straight passed you on the right before fuckwit makes his turn by which stage the lights gone red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merge Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i cant believe i missed that one out. Another huge gripe is when you TRY to be courteous and follow the road rules, by giving way to a right turning car when u are turning left into the same street. you wait there, then you wait there, then you wait there. and the car does not move. You're forced to make wanky hand gestures to them to get them to turn, but they reply in kind as if they're saying 'oh no, thanks but by all means you go first' fucking waste of everyone's time. Then there's the awkward period when neither of you know whos going to go, so you both start turning at the same time, and almost cause a crash.

Known One Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 People who get in my way when I'm late to work and trying to rush through traffic. Fuckin a... I had a melt down the other day at this guy on my way home... I ended up road raging it up hard So I'm heading towards hopetown bridge... away from town... everyone is in the right had lane and it's going to merge into one lane about 150 meters away in front of us all. This fuckwit in a 4WD behind me changes into the left hand lane so that he can undertake me and get infront of me... wtf?!?! At first I give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he's gunna turn into Beresford St... but just in case he's tryin the dodgy undertake, I gas it to cut the fucker off... Anyway, the fucker gets right up beside me as I'm gassing it, I end up almost running him into the curb as the lanes merge... he just literally squeezed/swerved infront of me with like 1cm to spare... so I jump on my horn and tailgate the fucker as close as I can all the while two handedly giving him the middle finger... followed him all the way over hopetown bridge until he stopped at the lights... pulled up along side him and yelled abuse at the motherfucker. I don't care how much you paid for your Remuera tractor... wait in the fucking queue like everyone else or you're going to end up crashing and geting abused by an angry skinhead. I took one of those defensive driving courses as a teenager... you know, they try to make you a more passive driver and relaxed about everything... avoid dangerous situations... well I reckon that over time life has taught me that the opposite works far better in dealing with asshole drivers... offensive driving for the win /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
