are your fingers crossed as you type this? i didn't understand half the stuff you wrote. but I did get an idea about some poor jetliner safety. why not complain about jetliner safety instead of pizza. nobody on earth gives a roach's asscrack about pizza hut pizza. it's a joke. you only order it if you're drunk or a redneck. I don't go to McDonald's for a good hamburger. You shouldn't expect corporate pizza to be made with love and care. These are manufactured pizzas made by highschool dropouts. You want good pizza, try not being in Pakistan.

seriously, dude? pizza hut?

he could've wandered with something a little less expensive. but i'm sure the high rates also provide the discretion intended for public faces who are looking to get their bone smooched.

Sure these things are annoying, but I'm slowly realizing that aside from it being a characteristic of some crummy ladies, it's also due to the lack of attractiveness that YOU and I display. If she was into you she wouldn't be tired, you wouldn't remind her of some dumbass from her past and she wouldn't be trying to make you jealous just to toss you aside later. We're doing something incorrect if we guide women toward these habits.

i'm honestly just surprised that bathroom attendants know how to access the internet. mad props to all you pooper-cops.

so you're saying it's time to go metric.

get your kids some books.

i hate sports and i hate politics, so i find it all very fitting. we should put all the worlds pro-athletes with bad attitudes and million dollar contracts into a giant pool with every crummy politician who turned his back on his own policies and drop the exxon valdez on them so they can choke and drown in oil.

the REAL DBlock knows how to spell "retarded" and doesn't use such a word on a Wookie that could tear his arms off.

I had an Aunt that would unwrap gifts with the intent of preserving the wrapping paper. The environment appreciates your efforts, but that's about it. Nobody else wants to deal with your pack-rat attitude.

trophywife, your my best cellulite-free-friend.

Sharon, grab a spoon and eat my ass.

ha, you're all fatties.

nah, i'm not paying for her stuff. her current man is. and i was the dude on the side. i'm way too cheap/broke to pay a woman's rent.

...it's Walmart. Lower your expectations.

this is not the immigration department and your "letter" doesn't state any direct connection between illegal aliens and workplace accidents.

uhhh.. wtf?

I only date girls if I can see their ribs.

wow, yeah that sites a bit awkward.

you mean you haven't been preparing since last Christmas? Aww Chewie, you're so screwed this year.

Could be worse.. your name could be Michael Bolton.

On behalf of men everywhere, I would like to speak up and say that these guys do not represent the majority. Please do not engage in intercourse with these perverted truckers.

so the goldsteins shoot 3 pointers?

are there any black people in these books? any jews? any steamy romance scenes? JK Boring hasn't given me a reason to buy one of these books yet.

M, I'm talking about the food servers in my workplace cafeteria. In no way did I claim that all food servers are this way. If you're gonna comment on my complaint, make sure you read it carefully. And don't come here to give me a lesson in morals and ethics because that contradicts this website in a major way.

so, are you upset at big jugs or your wife? I don't expect your wife to be HAPPY about seeing you look at a woman's breasts, but your partner (til death do you part) should understand you enough to know that you're a man and find breasts highly attractive. A man's genetic wiring instructs him to find large full breasts (real or fake) an attractive sign of fertility on a woman. If your waiter was male, in a pair of tight boxer briefs with enormously large testicles and a python-like schlong coiled inside his cotton cod-piece, I imagine your wife (and any other heterosexual woman) would chance a glance. On the other hand, you're being a gentleman and showing your wife a great deal of respect by doing your best to ignore those delicious meat curtains. But don't castrate yourself to uphold your wife's polluted version of a married man's sex drive. Western civilization has screwed our minds by making breasts acceptable to be teasingly displayed and making it rude for men to ogle them. Fight the power, my brother.

Yoda is well-known as an online predator.

Were you watching Dreamcatcher? I felt that the Alien's British accent was more of a deal breaker than its appearance.

@ archer: the human race is one large all-encompassing use of the term "race" but race actually is a more accurate term to describe extremely large extended families. In a globalized civilization, race is now used to describe larger groups and if it helps to identify a suspect in a serious crime we need to stop all the hand-holding, cumbaya-singing, politically correct BS and admit that black, white, asian, middle eastern, polynesian and all other people do indeed look different. If you get robbed at gun point, if someone hits your car and drives off, when the police come to fill out a report are you gonna say "well i don't see color, i only see human"? @ the complainer: you don't state which race was #2. Either way, if the races were designated as letters or words, people would be disputing their own race with the DMV and the DMV doesn't want to deal with that. You get a number, you don't get to choose that number and you can only assume what that number actually signifies.

and if you don't have a txt message plan you're getting charged just for receiving that message. for them to say they can't do anything about it is pretty crappy considering they get profit from it.

if you hand me an unrolled fajita, you better accompany that with a fork and a knife cuz homeboy ain't rolling a damn thing.

The whole "Corona and Lime" thing started when a bartender realized a slice of lime would keep the flies from landing on his bottle. I find that the lime adds a nice flavor to the beer. Lime is the only thing that works in terms of flavor. Up at college, a bartender ran out of limes and put a lemon in instead. That was a big mistake. It's not really piss-water in my opinion. I drink a fairly wide variety of beers, typically nothing darker than Smithwick's, and I find that Corona is an excellent beer on a hot day or when you absolutely can't have a heavy beer weighing you down. If you're in a cold climate, or in an environment that is anything but tropical, then you're more likely to avoid a Corona.

don't let your mascara run with all that crying.

just the other day, on the road, i drove to a construction area with two sign holders. Each sign holder mans one end of the construction area and they communicate with one another so that their signs always agree. It's hard to make sure the signs agree when one dude is chit chatting with some person on his cellphone. So when I see the first sign "SLOW" and then off in the distance a sign for "STOP" I get a little hesitant in my decision of whom to obey since I'm sure they're both really devoted to their jobs.

Oh no! Not Critzen!!!

Those chicks in other beer ads are only so gorgeous because it's a Beer Goggles simulation. The Coors silver bullet train that turns everything to winter and makes Coors cans magically appear in people's hands is real life though. Funny how that train never passes by anyone under the age of 21.

Wow. That sound is what MADE those old shows. When you'd run around pretending to be bionic you would make the sound with your mouth. That "Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch" sound. You have successfully deterred me from watching this show. Thank you for saving me from wasting my time.

You should put a giant billboard on your lawn with your neighbors face and the caption, "This guy suffers from Premature Decoration"

There are no trekkies on this site, just Star Wars geeks. That being said, the Ewok language might be nice.

Nude Ann, I think that's a useful tidbit for after I get the girl. I don't think you'll find girls falling for guys while they're vomiting and sneezing large green wads of gooey mucus on a girl's new shoes. Once she knows that I'm a man worth keeping, then she'll want to take care of me when I'm feeling ill.

i think we should all speak Esperanto

From my experience, chicks (hot and not so hot) do not find mucus and phlegm sexy.

I'm sure that somewhere else in the fine print, they told you that exactly such a thing was the case. Looking at my AMEX statement right now it says things such as "Points earned may be used as long as all enrolled Card accounts are in good standing". Nowhere on my statement does it say "We said you could have these points, so you can do whatever you want with them." They are giving you permission to use THEIR money, THEIR points, and THEIR programs and this is all happening on THEIR terms. I don't like it either, but it's always been that way. When you signed up for their card, you agreed to play by their rules.

Oh wow. I had totally forgotten about calling you a prick. I want to comment on people "getting along" at work. To some extent, it's necessary, but as people get to know each other from seeing the same people everyday, relationships form and fall apart. You will develop an opinion about every person you deal with on a regular basis. That opinion will either be positive or negative. Regardless of what the opinion is, it alters your interaction with that person. Still regardless of the opinion, it effects your business. I happen to work really well under the supervision of managers that I absolutely hate. While the managers that I'm friendly with, I tend to joke around with more often and know how far I can go with my laziness. I'm working on getting along with the hot girls at work, this effects my performance because I'm more focused on them, than the company's business. If I was not attracted to them, or hated their guts, or they were married/unavailable, I would work more diligently. My point is: Being on friendly terms with coworkers/supervisors may not be the best thing for a business.

I hate to defend money-mongers like credit card companies, but keep in mind that they are not banks. These companies are only built to create profit for themselves. If you use their credit services, somewhere in the fine print, it states that they can fuck you in any orifice that they choose. So don't complain when they catch you bent over. Oops, I don't think I'm allowed to say "don't complain" on this site. So instead, I'll say "don't be surprised". Complain all you want. Do be prepared to be treated differently by a credit company than you would by your bank because it's not your money, it's their money and you're spending it.

The thing is, the food is terrible. So is the service. The first and second time I had ever gone to a Hooters restaurant, the waitress completely forgot to put silverware on the table. I thought eating utensils were a given but apparently she had a different opinion. I ate there maybe 2 more times after that before I started admitting to my male friends that I hate the place and they are simple minded fools if they're going to eat at a place with crummy food just because the waitresses there are scantily clad and instructed to be interested in you. I'd rather have my food served to me by someone who is well dressed and knowledgeable about the food service industry than someone who's getting by on her tits.

Bossman, you mentioned that the losers at my deli have "peaked". Perhaps if they had a boss like you, years ago, who fired them because they fell into one of the categories you listed, they would've gotten fired and been forced to change their line of work and made something out of themselves. Firing people can also be like dumping a lover. You give that person (and yourself) a chance to find someone different and start over. The forests generate immense heat and cause their own forest fires to burn away old rotting crap that takes up precious space in nature to make room for new life. Bossman, you are like Mother Nature; an all powerful being of delicate beauty and intricate madness, and at the same time a ruthless raging force prepared to wipe the Earth clean in order to start all over again.

yeah, when i read about Twitter coming out i felt the same way. Who cares what you're doing each moment? But i can see how this would be helpful in a situation where a very tightly knit group needs to constantly know the status of its members. Perhaps a business team that is constantly in motion. But not friends who have their own very separate lives. Because clearly if you spend your day looking at your twitter, you don't have a life of your own.

does he also get to enjoy the trophy wife while he endures the children?

it's only one version of monopoly that offers the debit cards. there are many many cash versions still available.

We don't have Chick-fil-a up here in NY. But we do have Chicks-Full-Of-BS. Oh man, I am funny. Anyhow, I looked up the ads you were talking about. While I haven't seen enough to support your militancy theory, I do have a problem with the purposely misspelled words. Yes: Cows would not have gone to school to learn to spell. Yes: They're busy saving themselves from consumption and may not have time to look in a dictionary. However fast food is a bad enough problem in America, do we also have to buttress the poisonous modern pseudo-culture with bastardized spellings? From a marketing perspective, I can see a boardroom filled with lame suits trying to woo the Chick-Fil-A demographic: "Our customers don't have to time for edumacation. They want chicken, they want cute animals that speak to them, they want cute misspelled words, and they want funny clothes on the animals." Boom, Anthropomorphic cow in human clothing with broken written English. $$$ It makes me respect McDonald's more when Mickey D's comes out with more nutritional items for their menu rather than resorting to lame played-out marketing tactics.

Thanks, tc3. I'm considering printing some of my designs on T-shirts. My email is on my website, contact me if you see something you want. I have to go back to the barbershop tomorrow because my hair (although less than a centimeter in length) is frickin' uncomfortable as hell.

@tc3, you're very right to mention the interest rates. You can't overdraw your wallet of cash. You can, however, pass your limit on your credit card, and over draw your debit card. That plastic card gives us the impression of an endless supply of money because we're not actually holding the diminishing stack of bills in our bare hands. The weight of the card is constant. That's a pretty subliminal thing really, but I think it holds merit. The young girl in the monopoly commercial states something to the effect of "Fast transactions and just plastic. That's how I play monopoly." It's a desperate effort by the board game company to keep their incredibly old yet incredibly famous product alive. You can still purchase numerous versions of monopoly that still use the cash system, fortunately. Personally I feel a bit ridiculous using credit or debit for a purchase of less than $20. One day it will completely take over. But those of us who live during the age of cash will know the satisfying feeling of a wallet packed tightly with greenbacks.

The gaps are both a blessing and a curse. I've had a dude kick my foot from the next stall. Fortunately it was a coworker just teasing me and not some footsie perv. In my hotel, we have lots of marble. Some of the bathrooms are made with black marble floors and partitions. Basically, in these bathrooms the floor is a mirror to the next stall's crotch. You also sometimes get the nosy 5 year old kid who likes to stick his entire head underneath the door to look at you taking a stinker.

oh, well in that case I think the response would be this: Those who make big money in a short while are rare. They may have gambled a great deal of money on something that wasn't a sure deal and gotten lucky. They may have come up with some innovative idea precisely when the world needed it. Financial advisors won't tell you to put all your money on one underdog stock because there's such a slim chance that it's going to blow up and make you filthy rich. Instead they instruct you to be safe with your cash. Save as much of your money as possible and put healthy portions into mutual funds that consistently (and slowly) increase in value. That's what they themselves are doing and that's why they aren't buying their own islands. There is only room on this Earth for a select few filthy rich people, the rest of us have to get rich the slow way. Of course that doesn't mean that your financial advisor isn't a complete moron telling you to do stupid things with your money.

your complaint begs the question; "why are you using this guy as your financial advisor?"

i think audio would be more appropriate, actually. i should travel with a digital recorder.

The latest update: I passed the chick they paired me with in the hallway and she ignored me in what I gather to be a very rude manner. A girl who was never too busy to say "hello" wouldn't even look in my direction. She did it a second time but in a slightly busier situation. This all stinks of this rumor BS.

OJ, and all of the individuals responsible for the media support of OJ's actions should all burn in a fire for wasting our time with this BS and taking our attention away from serious matters that concern the entire world (e.g. Famine, Disease, Pestilence, and Death).

sweet. you've displayed the fact that after all the time i've spent on this site, I've only chosen 1 friend, and of all people, it's Bossman, the limousine riding office tyrant. I'm so ashamed, I will never return to this site again! Nice to hear this joint is still growing. I look forward to the redesign.

Buffet in general is unsanitary. Whether there's finger-licking or not, there are bodily fluids and human debris constantly transferring to your food. You don't know where these people come from or what their hygienic routine is. You also can't be certain how long the food has been sitting out there and how many people will have handled it before it enters your mouth. Think of all the things that a human hand encounters on a daily basis. It wipes your ass, picks your nose, handles your cock in the bathroom. It touches dozens of doorknobs each day, touches other peoples' hands. Gropes a lover, cleans dirty diapers, pets animals, handles money, holds the rail on a subway car, etc. Are you getting the picture? Buffet was dirty way before anyone ever licked their finger. A popular Chinese Buffet near my mother's home was investigated after health inspectors discovered traces of feces and semen in the food. I hope you enjoyed that buffet, even though it's "all you can eat human waste".

haha, I bet Bossman uses that expression.

It's part of a famous quote by John Stark, a soldier from New Hampshire who fought in the revolutionary war. The full quote is "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils." This is the wikipedia page about it. I equate this to a quote from Magneto in an old X-Men game for the Sega Genesis. "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." I think Stark and Magneto both had in mind that one should only die striving for what is right.

i would expect nothing less from a wookie.

i'm happy to finally fully agree with you on something, Bossman. Facial piercings are dangling silver billboards that read "I make poor life decisions". Image is incredibly important to a company and the employees create that image. If you stretched out your earlobes wide enough that I can fit my finger through them, you are not a desireable representation of a business. It's good to be different, but it's even better to do it without looking like an attention whore.

And while we're on the subject.... "Exotic Dancer"?

I have a mental image of the company you run. It closely resembles a late 19th century factory where gruel is served for lunch and seniority among workers is based on how many fingers one has lost. Breathing inside your factory is akin to dipping a cotton ball in New York City street sludge and cramming it down your esophagus. Most of your employees are uneducated boys aged 9 to 15, but you hire women as long as you can sexually abuse them in your office. Am I close?

i prefer white text on a black background. staring at a bright white screen for too long kills my eyes and the opposite is much more bearable.

you actually open penis enlargement emails? gmail filters 99% of the spam I get, so I've never encountered those.

he's playing mind games with you. show him who's boss.

You seem to be handling it pretty well. Various people I've met have presumed I was gay. How you handle it, I feel, really says a lot about how confident you are. That sort of confidence will make everyone like you, gay men and straight women alike. If a gay man is taking time out to flirt with you or invite you to a gay outing, consider it a compliment. Gay men, being men, tend to be more aggressive and forth coming with compliments than most women I know who are too shy to say those things. Being presumed gay could mean you're doing something that you don't want to do, but it could also mean that you are in good shape, dressed well, or just plain attractive.

I hope a Mexican takes your job so that you can't afford internet access any more.

Ha! cops in shorts. Next time a cop on a bicycle gives you attitude, tell him "nice shorts" in a completely non-sarcastic tone of voice. Then ask him how many speeds he has on his bike. After he answers your question tell him "you know how i spend my day? I spend my day NOT giving people obnoxious citations. Your job is to protect and serve, yet you spend your day intruding on my way of life, hmm." Then go and tape a baseball card to his back wheel. A bike cop is like a chihuahua with no teeth. Sure, you're vicious as all hell, but I can't help laughing at you. It's too bad they canceled that show, Pacific Blue.

she wasn't even that hot.

by personifying animals it makes the act sound even more serious.

Granted, i don't prefer that form of speech where I'm working, but where do you work? Most respectable businesses will catch this sort of behavior at the interview and never ever let it in.

AMEN BROTHA! Same goes for any live action production on the Cartoon Network

Kristy, the issue with having reporters with first hand experience is that they are athletes first and reporters by chance. This often leads to some of the dumbest commentary imaginable, although not always.

i remember once hearing of scientists in Japan working on cube shaped watermelons that were easier for stacking and storing. I suppose it's possible if you grow the watermelon in a cubed controlled ecosystem. It would be pretty sweet to have seedless cubed watermelons. I think there should be seedless versions of all fruits, especially strawberries because their seeds ruin any blended drink they've been added to. I'd also like to see someone create the boneless all white meat chicken. That would be a fun farm to visit.

i get plenty of wrong numbers on my cellphone and so I've adopted the practice of not answering a number I don't recognize. In addition I will not call back unless a message was left. I feel kinda stupid calling a number that I don't know and asking who I'm calling. It also makes me feel like a bit of a needy lonely loser.

I don't think it's quite that simple, but I do agree that we can't blame just fast food. However fast food's role in obesity is how the supply meets the demand. You're on the highway, you're in an unfamiliar town, you see the golden arches and you feel at home. You can find a fast food restaurant anywhere, while it's hard to find buffet so easily. In addition, fast food, being fast, is more accessible. You grab fast food and you can eat it in the car, walking, or riding in your electric wheelchair. You can not do this with most other restaurants. Fast food has drive-thru as well. Restaurants like Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and obviously McDonalds are GLOBAL. You'll find these spots on other continents and the menu hardly changes. They also have corporate marketing, some of the most recognizeable identities, and all of them use bright attractive colors that tell our minds "Taco Bell = Fun Time". You mentioned "Golden Corral" and "CiCi's Pizza". I live in New York and I've never heard of these places. I couldn't even imagine what is served at the Golden Corral. If it were next to a McDonald's, you can bet in which one I'd feel more at home. In the movie "Super Size Me", the host pointed out that on the island of Manhattan there were just over 80 McDonalds restaurants. The presence, availability, and in your face marketing is why Fast Food plays a major role in the obesity of Western Culture, specifically America.

There's a delicate balance between being a forceful customer and being a patient customer when you're trying to get your product fixed. If someone has never been in your shoes, they don't understand how stupid they look. A grown adult throwing a tantrum in the middle of public while a young store clerk stands patiently behind the counter is an all too common sight. Working at a luxury hotel, I see this very very often. But here in America everyone thinks they're royalty and that they must get their way and it must be perfect or the world is gonna split itself open and devour humanity. As the calm young person behind the counter, it is our duty to look at the irate customer with that same look your mother gave you when you cried and cried and cried because she didn't buy you that ice cream when you were 4. That look that says, "Really? Are you seriously that upset over something so minor? Do you not realize that here on Planet Earth there are much more critical matters taking place? Famine, disease, war, and you're a grown man with a family throwing a fit because the hotel room you booked had a Queen size bed instead of a King size bed? Really? Wow." It doesn't calm the customer down, it doesn't fix their product. But it reminds you how lucky you are to not be an average piece of sh*t American making us look bad to the rest of the world. (and I'm focusing on Americans because at my hotel with all of our international customers, 90% of this BS occurs with Americans) Welcome to mybiggestcomplaint.com, Samantha and thank you for not pouncing the customer and digging your thumbs into his eye sockets.

it's all bright and colorful! i don't wanna stare at my kitchen wall or (god forbid) anyone else eating near me. Watching people munch cereal is an ugly occurrence filled with milk dribbling down chins and slurping noises. The box is a defensive barrier and it just happens to be entertaining and/or educational at the same time.

i suppose someone's more inclined to try and access your account only after they know how much you've deposited into it. still it does seem like a false security measure. It's like that little chain on the door. The intent is there, but the execution falls flat.

/holstersweapon "oh."

Well, doggy, I take relationship stories deeply to heart because I find it amazing that people will stick in a relationship that is going foul without trying to repair it. Your short story doesn't tell me that your relationship is doing bad, you only complained about one small thing, but it struck a chord with me. I have very strong opinions about guys and girls interacting in any way. I simply had to speak up about this though because it deals with something that governs any interaction with absolutely any person you meet throughout your life. Dominant/Submissive. You're either in control of the situation, or you're at the will of the controller. It's cool if you don't dig what I have to say, but i hope you understand, any complaint on this site will have comments. And lots of us are standing on our soapboxes when we comment. It's the internet, everyone has huge balls. But back to this complaint. It's not who wears the "knickers" in the relationship, but whether or not you value your time at work enough to stand up for yourself. Perhaps you do have the knickers on most of the time and that's why you're not complaining about how she always has to be on top in bed, or that annoying habit of hers to do you with a strap-on while you suck your thumb. Complaining is fine, and of course encouraged, but be aware that there's a solution to your problem.

Perhaps your inability to put your foot down and cut her off at previous times has taught her that she has this power over you when she may have little or no power over you in other situations. Naturally she will flex this power to exploit your weakness when it comes to choosing work over her when you're clearly at work. So, maybe you don't say anything because you'll feel like you're being rude, or she'll think you're being rude. If I'm correct and she's purposely taking advantage of you in this situation, she's the one that's being rude. Does she work? Is she calling you from her job or is she sitting on her butt at home thinking up things to talk about? Regardless, your time at work is your time at work. Anything that distracts you or hinders your performance needs to be dealt with in a tactful manner. A woman wants a man who is confident in himself, and so it should only please her if you stick up for yourself and tell her that you're busy making money.

that means you're poor.

I thought the issue with styrofoam is that it COULD NOT be recycled, EVER, and that long after humans perish, styrofoam lives on to carry the tale of our heritage and how we destroyed Earth and ourselves.

Pooping at work means it's time for me to text message. I'm also standing most of the day so it's a real "load" off my feet.

Wow. It's a good thing you managed to free the hostages, because i need to complain a lot. Since I signed up I've noticed an increase in the users. This site is just what a lot of us need; an outlet. We toil all day long and deal with tons of crap from various people, then we come home and make a choice. Grab the rifle and climb the bell tower, or piss and moan on the net? Thankfully, everyone here has chosen the latter. Anand A could've caused a lot of senseless violence through his indifference and inactivity. But I imagine it's hard to run a hosting service from your mom's basement, especially on those days he's gotta work a double shift pumping gas at the Gulf station down the street. I'll keep this story in mind and shed a tear of joy as I write my next complaint. Congrats on your success!

Perhaps you should stop going to the Apple store and take it up with Corporate Headquarters. The corporation doesn't get to deal with customers the same way store clerks do and therefore still follow the customer service techniques more closely. They will not be happy until you get the product you expect, where as store clerks are paid hourly and certainly not well enough to give a god damn about your frickin Macbook. That Apple store is a retailer, somebody got Apple's permission to put an Apple store there and received a handbook and guidelines to follow in order to keep Apple's permission to run the store. His primary goal is profit, his loyalty to Apple is secondary. My dad had an issue with the local Nissan dealer who sold him a car and didn't include the user manual for the GPS nav system. My dad kindly asked for the manual which should've been included at no extra cost, the saleperson just brushed him off and never got him the manual. He even refused to return my father's phonecalls after a while. My father bought his own manual and wrote a formal complaint to Nissan Corporate. Corporate calls him at home, covers the cost of the manual, formally apologizes and also gets on the retailers ass to reprimand them for such ridiculously crummy customer service. Corporate gets things done and they know a satisfied customer is a repeat customer. Your retailer doesn't know this and he hires part-time employees, snot-nosed highschoolers, and other people who haven't learned this yet.

You travel through the depths of space, light years from your planet and we'll see what species you're not willing to probe anally.

That reminds me of a quote by some famous historical dude, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Oooh what was his name?!

Kinkoid, your point rings true. I shouldn't have expected him to be enthusiastic about his job. But the thing is, if you don't like where you're at, you need to start moving forward. Myself, for instance, I hate my current job and I'm making moves (tiny moves, but moves nonetheless) to progress forward and be happier with myself. I've worked at Circuit City, and now I work at the front desk of a hotel, I feel for people who are stuck in dead-end jobs because they are paid simply to be where they are for 8 hours, rather than being paid to do something that they're good at and love. But I have no empathy for someone who is going to simply accept a dead-end as their path. So if I appear to be ridiculing this person, it's because I can't respect someone who won't respect himself. On the other hand, he asked me a question that I had already answered for him when I first spoke. So it was absolutely ridiculous to hear him ask me that. I'm not sure if you're defending that guy or not. I just thought I'd cover all my bases in case you were. If you can offer more insight about Kinko's, I would greatly appreciate it. You must've met a hundred wannabe-designers like myself in the two year sentence you spent at Kinko's.

Lesson 1: Never leave Kinko's without proofing the product. And while you're in there, toss a couple of insults at the staff.

what I need from Kinko's is the same day or next day product. And it's local as hell. There's one within 10 minutes of my house and if I'm in the city, New York has so many of them. Also, if I don't like the product, I give it back to them, they redo it or whatever and I only pay for the one that I take out of the store.

you're imagining this story taking place inside an elevator, when in fact i'm talking about waiting for the elevator, outside of the car.

you got served, sucka. i don't think we have those here in NYC.

Oh Hai! Iz wrote U a Comment but I deleeted it! K Bai!

I don't feel so good. Can I start Tuesday?

Maybe we wouldn't call in sick on Mondays if we didn't have some cigar-smoking prick bossing us around trying to convince us that Monday is the Day of Champions. Monday can be fun if you love what you do and are good at what you do, but if you hate your job and are simply hoping for a quick and painless death to end your occupational suffering, than I can totally empathize with someone who calls in sick on Monday. Perhaps if you can find some way to make your employees enjoy their jobs more, you'll have more Monday Champions and fewer sick employees.

Perhaps they can care less, but not that much less. Maybe their level of care already nears the bottom of the care barrel.

Smokers in general are a problem. Smoking laws should force smokers to carry a personal ashtray with them and if they are caught without the ashtray while smoking they are fined by the state.

The contradiction occurred when marketing professionals saw the potential in this emo stuff and turned it into a style. Then all of the kids who wanted to be like the originators of emo had access to this style when stores like Hot Topic appeared. Fashion magazines, MTV (the devil) and other outlets incorporated this stuff into their look making it more and more popular and the theme of it was still "let's be different" even though its nature had become to copy the person ahead of you. I'm sure that the first two emo people successfully made themselves stand out but they drowned in their own tears 8 years ago.

Bro, you and me need to hang out. We'll go into a Hot Topic store, drop trou' and take a big steamy dump on the store counter. Trends and fads don't stand up to the long-lasting classiness of angry complainers pooping in shopping malls. I'm gonna go ahead and let these little brats "express themselves", but one day they're going to have to grow up and be men, and, god forbid, fathers too. You can't raise a child on this stuff. Hair gel, make-up, pants that don't fit. It's a damn travesty.

I work at a hotel in NYC, and we won't let you check into the hotel without a valid form of picture ID. Guests always hand me their credit card first and are (usually) pleasantly surprised when I request photo identification instead. In the rare occasion a guest has arrived at the hotel without photo ID, it's a fairly big production to validate this person as the correct person on the reservation. Fortunately for bank customers, all of your cash is insured by the federal government.

Worrying about one's self and minding one's own business contradicts this entire website. Picking one's nose does not increase the risk of skin cancer. This complainer is pointing out that these over-tanned people look absolutely terrible and I agree. Not only is it unhealthy, but it looks absurd and it's a waste of money (because in my area most of these tanners use tanning salons). If it's the middle of winter, you didn't go on vacation for a week, then why is your skin the same color as pumpkin pie? Get a clue. Moving any further than a few shades from your natural skin tone is going to look ridiculous. You don't look exotic, you look cajun-style.

There are certain products you must absolutely not go the cheap route on. Condoms, Brake Pads, and Toilet Paper just to name a few.

Agreed. It's not like that mesh material is keeping my ball-soil out of the pool, nor is it keeping sea salt and chlorine from eroding my sensitive testicles and peri-anal region. I don't really find the lining uncomfortable while in the water, however once out of the water I notice a serious wedgie situation, and when pulling my trunks down, the lining is still crammed in my ass. The only purpose the lining serves for me is to help distinguish between my running shorts and my bathing trunks. When i discovered board shorts I was most pleased to find them lining-less, however they're a bit too long in my opinion. At least they don't cram my asscrack.

While it's definitely true that I don't know what this woman's actually dealing with, I'm confident in saying that her smile toward me isn't one of struggle but one of simply not being a genuine person. It's not a smile that fades into sadness, but a smile that fades into apathy. It's said that we smile not only with our mouth but with our eyes. Eyes will tell us if the smile is real and it can also tell us if the person is depressed, angry, or just a great big phony. I'm sorry you had to lose such a good friend, but I think we're describing two very different things.

Guilty as charged. To make matters worse.. I'm one of the people who knows HOW to use them and I still don't keep them with me. Granted, I also never leave the lights on. I think it's a nice idea to offer the cables with the car, but then you have a whole slew of people electrocuting themselves and/or setting their cars on fire because somebody gave cables to a person who has no clue how to use them. Cars, like computers, grow more and more user friendly (and also more artificially intelligent) and it takes much of the work and knowledge out of the human operator's hands. When a troubleshooting situation arrives, the operator is more dependent on the manufacturer and the specialist and the manufacturers and specialists make more money maintaining their products than they would if the operator could fix it himself. Take a look under the hood of a late model mercedes-benz and you'll see a thick plastic cover hiding the engine as if to say to the owner "you have no business looking here. please avert your eyes and contact your local mercedes-benz certified specialist to handle this oil change"
