Random Rants

I needed to start this thread for a bit of pity and a momentary wallow in my misery.

:violin:

For six rental seasons, I have done the same thing. I arrive to our place and do the bi-annual change out of slipcovers. Washed the Summer covers, put them up and put on the Fall covers, which had been washed last Spring.

Mr. K calls me last night and says we got a bill for the deep clean. Fine, good. Then he read me the ridiculous amount they have charged us for DRY CLEANING all the slipcovers!!!! We even were charged for "upholstery cleaning" the outdoor cushions, which I always wash! So, I just washed slipcovers that were recently drycleaned (I told them to never do this). :bang:

Thank you...I feel better. I will be having a meeting today.

Go ahead...rant away! :wave:

Because no one has said the following vow (ever):

"I promise to carry you out of the bar, allow you to vomit in the parking lot, hold your golden hair while you paint that strangers hood, drive you home stopping for every drive heave you think is vomit, carry you inside, chase you around the house after some drunken energy kicks in, steam clean the stains the following morning after cooking you breakfast, and clearing the evidence from the camera you had to bring."

Au Contraire, my little straightdude. Mr. DD not only said those vows, he's kept all of them. :wave:

I know that we go through this every year about this time, but can I once again say, "Please, please! Pay attention to your surroundings when riding bikes on 30A!"

This afternoon I saw some cute tween on a pink beach cruiser swerve INTO the path of a car in order to avoid a puddle of water... Like the puddle is really the more pressing concern?! :bang:

I know you're on vacay, and that you're basking in the sun that's finally graced us with its presence, but for Heaven's Sake! You really don't want to spend the rest of your Spring Break in the hospital, do you? Pay attention, pretty please! :wave:

I've almost hit several of them - much like you are describing. Or, a pedestrian in Seaside who just plain doesn't look.

Nah, my read on it is that the gal in the office is a player and she's recruiting for the team so to speak. Tequila just gets you out onto the playing field.

Gee, a spring breaker more concerned about getting mud on her sun dress than dieing. :roll:

Just want to warn y'all - I am about to have a meltdown on American Express....stand back. I have told them countless times to stop sending me the unsolicited items they keep trying to solicit.....it's some kind of crazy auto ship! I do not auto ship anything! ARGH - just charged me for some travel thang and I will phone them in the AM when I am not looped up on dayquil - I am NOT going to be polite.
baturds!

I called them. It was ok, until the representative told me he had to place me on hold and transfer me to publishing for my credit~~~~~~~~~~~~~ARGH!
I had my meltdown on them today. It was ridiculous that I have to explain customer service to customer service reps!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well!!!!!

I'm supposed to think of a snappy comeback but instead I feel like saying something mushy. But I won't because I think we're on the ranting page. Got to keep that stiff upper lip an' all.
