Warning: profanity
And obnoxious drunk people.
I actually find drunks funny as hell, unless they're trying to hit me. And I love Jenna Marbles. But this thread is about pet peeves, so here's mine: we used to live in a house about ten miles from where we currently live. Our landlords live overseas and didn't give a flying fuck about us, so long as we payed rent on time. We went 10 days with virtually NO HEAT in our house the first winter... I emails them every day, sometimes twice a day for a week, with no response. So my husband emailed them and tols them we were leaving if it wasnt fixed. la-tee-da, they listened. And that's how every single issue we had there went. I would say something needed attention or fixing, Id get blown off, Mike would have to get involved, and suddenly they were all ears. Now listen, I'm no feminazi, but when I have to get my husband to speak for me to be heard, I see that as an act of war. It's happened to me in the shop where we take our bikes to be fixed too. I tell them something needs to be done a certain way, and they blow me off and do it their way. I don't get it. Is what I have to say less valid because I have tits? Occasionally my male customers treat me like a bimbo too.... the nice thing there though is that if people are rude to us at work, my boss kicks them out, no discussion necessary. Anyway, I digress. That's what I hate. Being treated like a dumb-ass when I certainly don't act like one.
oh yeah, and I hate it when my brother in law hooks back up with his ex, even though we've all warned him not too... then she cheats again.... then he cries on MY shoulder again... wash, rinse repeat.
The last time I told both of them to just fuck each others lives up and leave me and my husband the hell out of it.
oh, and I hate it when my Mom talks about our family history of alcoholism EVERY time I have a glass of wine in her presence... I stopped drinking in front of her once, and she told me how proud she was I kicked the habit. gah!! it's like when Jason Bateman gets conned into drinking a glass of scotch in front of his boss in "Horrible Bosses" and then called a drunk in a meeting.
and no-win situations. those totally blow. especially for me lol
When the person you're supporting looks at you and says 'I love you but you need to grow up and be an adult.'
When someone stops giving a damn about physical affection and connection.
When someone states every single time you do something without them that they 'hope your not doing anything.'
When Someone is incompetent to the point of being your child while trying to act like your parent.
When you go two years without ever getting the dance they promised so long ago when you really needed it to feel close and loved.
When all you can think is 'I wish...' and no matter how hard you try to make that wish a reality it seems to only slip father away with every step forward.
When you love someone but wish you didn't so you could get back to where you used to be in life, but knowing they make you so happy that the gain or loss of material possession could never justify loosing them.
When you know someone truly loves you despite everything they are, and truly do everything in their power to make you happy.
When all you have is hope and stress and fear and joy and pain and love and sorrow and ultimately, peace.
Sounds like you need to dump someone's sorry ass.Quote:

Check out the motivational thread I made: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthre...Moving-Forward
Hey, I have more!!
See, I got to thinking and I realized that I hate a LOT of things- but here's one more that just makes my ass itch... are you ready? .... it's when someone says, for no reason, with no provocation what-so-ever, "DON'T JUDGE ME"
Here's why:
In my experience with various sub-standard human beings, I've found that this is a common statement. "don't judge me". Out of nowhere, somebody is telling you up front that A.) your opinion means jack shit to them and B.) that there's probably a damn good reason you SHOULD be judging that person.
Let me let you all in on an obviously little known fact of life. PEOPLE CAN AND WILL JUDGE YOU, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT, AND THEY DON'T CARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT.
Not saying that's right or ok or whatever- you know, every situation is different... but that's life. So with this little nugget-o-knowledge I would deduce that most people would come to terms with the fact that as long as you are OK with who and what you are, people can judge all they like. But it's not gonna ruffle your feathers. And therein lies the heart of my annoyance. People who shout about not wanting to be judged are really just publicizing their own insecurities and opening themselves up to the very thing they rebel so fiercely against- JUDGEMENT. Look, if you don't shower and you don't brush your teeth and you dress like a bum, no professional person would even accept you into a job interview for, let's say, a bank teller position. They will judge you, in five seconds, based on what they see when you walk in the door. You wanna be a rebel and really make a point? Keep your damn mouth shut and do your thing quietly while upholding an image that doesn't draw attention to yourself. Then blow everyone's minds with that song or that art or that tail later on, when no one expects it. You wanna make people think your a hot-headed, immature, ego-driven dick-wad? Start fights with people you don't know while you hide behind an internet ID and, oh yeah, don't forget to let EVERYONE know how fucking awesome you are while you're at it. That'll show 'em old boy!!
OR, be a total slut who can't stop screwing other guys behind your boyfriends back- and then lie to him about it while you piss and moan about people thinking you're a common whore. yeah. Look, all I'm really saying here is that people need to OWN UP to who and what they are, and accept that some people aren't gonna like it. Not saying you shouldn't occasionally get mad and have an outburst, but for GODS sake, when you do, make an intelligent point. You do realize that your chances of changing someones mind about what they truly believe are slim-to-none, right? And if said person truly believes you have flaws and they don't like you, ask yourself: DO I LIKE ME? and if so, who cares what so-and-so thinks? I dig me, and that's fine. As James Hetfield so eloquently screamed: "roamer, wanderer, nomad, vagabond- call me what you will".
screw em. Love yourself.... another GREAT quote: "here's to those who wish us well, and those who don't can go to hell," - Elaine Bennis, Seinfeld.
Much Love y'all. Rant over.
P.S. I'd like to go on the record to say that 90% of the things I feel I've been wrongly judged for are things I was ashamed of doing in the first place. Working on the other 10%. I realize I got take my own medicine. ;)
I HATE insecure guys. And i hate it when people say "I support you" when they cleary don't because their actions don't show it. (even though you have spent every dime you had on their dream).
I HATE it when people are fickle with what they want in life. I HATE it when people have un-protected sex thinking that "getting knocked up will never happen to me" when it very well could and they know they are too irresponsible and selfish and young to have a child. I HATE it when people who can barely afford one child have more of them. I HATE it when girls gripe about people thinking of them as a slut or talk of them as if they are a common whore. Like seriously, you did something to give people a reason for saying that. And if you legitamently have done nothing to earn that title then fuck 'em.
I also absolutely HATE when people go out to dinner and then cant afford to tip at the end of the meal. PEOPLE that is RUDE, and makes your servers life hell and makes the reason they came to work a total waste of time.
Okay, thats my bitching for today/tonight (i hope). Back to happy mermaid phase :)
I hate when someone spreads a rumor about you and then everyone treats you like a social pariah because no one bothers to go to you and ask if it really happened. Then everyone hates you for something you didn't do and chances are if no one is talking to you, you'll never know that it was because of a rumor, thus those people make it virtually impossible to solve the problem and straighten out your reputation.
Anyone who would flush your friendship because of an unsubstantiated rumor, was never a friend to begin with.
I hate people who say theyre going to try and lose weight, so they start working out, they eat a salad at McDonald's, and then they have two cookies, a milkshake, coffe with extra whipped cream, French fries, a diet coke, and an ice cream done and then cry and whine about not loosing any weight. It makes no sense to me.
my mom does that. but not with fast food. she buys a bunch of healthy "low cal, low fat" foods and then she eats it ALL, then complains about why she's not losing weight. also she watches tv and buys into EVERYTHING they say. Dr Oz could tell her that eating peanuts without chewing them is healthier for her than chewing them because herp derp derp, and she'd totally overlook the choking risk just because he said it so it must be true. it gets so annoying sometimes. especially when she obnoxiously bounces around the living room at 5am to her excercise [never knew how to spell that damn word] dvds. she's 58 and she's in a tiny sports bra and huge shorts. WITH TENNIS SHOES ON THE CARPET. i'm just gonna go take a nap. =,,=Quote:

She's a total brat about everyhing and brags about anything- she always has to have the better story. I hate her teachers for favoring her and one other student and if my friends call the teachers out, they get threatened with detentions. I hate the counselor who didn't so anything when an old friend of mine and I was bullied, but the moment my friends and I try one thing to get the girl who keeps trying to get answers from others to leave, she threatens to give us detentions for bullying. I hate stupid students who think something is dumb because it's different. The old friend I was talking about was bullied partially because she got a pet rat, so because it's not a hampster or dog, cat or fish, it's automatically wrong to them. Sorry, but Charlie is nicer than any hampster I've ever met. I hate over enthusiastic day camp people. They make my skin crawl. I had to volunteer for Bible Camp, and being near the women that had done it for a while was horrible. Some lady screamed at me and made me crythe first day because she sent me to the wrong station and tried to force me to sing and dance. I doubt any of the kindergarteners would mind if people weren't all as bubbly as her. I also hate it when adults talk to me really slow because I do one thing wrong. Hello, I'm 14, not five. Maybe if you didn't treat me like I had the IQ of a one year old, I'd show more respect and motivation. To add to this, I hate how all of a sudden, a teacher who I could at least tolerate for the years I was forced to have her (challenge teacher) treats me like I'm even dumber than before, or like I'm not able to comprehend because she found out I have a seizure disorder. I just want to scream "I'm a smart 14 year old girl! Not some stupid glass figure that can't think, and has a crack that you need to watch or else it'll shatter!!" (Ironically, she's been the reason for a few breakdowns, and the subject of some very very twisted and mean poetry. Some of my best though :) ) Then, my biggest issues: When an adult in power over me, such as a teacher or supervisor lies to the principal about something I did to get me in trouble,especially since said supervisor gained nothing in doing so.And last but not least: when I state the facts of what said supervisor said, and what actually happened and my mom tells me to shut up and get over the fact that someone that's supposed to be watching over students and helping them had no problem lying to the principal, and even smiled sweetly at me the next day. The NERVE!!! So I guess you could say I kinda hate a lot of the staff at my school district, considering over half of the teachers and staff act in one of these ways.
This is the "occupy" movement. Mommy and daddy government will give everything to me for "free". FOOLS!Quote:

I have an issue with the weight thing too. If you are overweight, obese, or whatever and you don't want to be, then work towards fixing it. People tell me I can't understand because I'm "skinny". I am not skinny, I'm just in decent shape. When I was 17 I used to be 5'10" and 245 pounds according to BMI that is obese. I was working out six days a week, six and a half hours a day and I still struggled with my weight. I do have a genetic factor going against me, big deal tons of people do, but that is no excuse. I did not grow into my body or any of that crap. It took me four years to get to where I am now and I'm still not totally happy, I'm 6'1" and 170. So, I do get it. What pisses me off is people complaining to me about their weight and not making steps to fix it. If you really care enough, then you will start right now to be who you want to be, not tomorrow, not in a week. Right now. I hate it when people complain about mean comments others made about their pictures. I do think there is more than one way to be beautiful, but if you are not in the best shape and put revealing pictures of yourself on the internet and someone who doesn't know you is mean they might be a jackass, you shouldn't be hurt by it. It happens, either take steps to be in better shape or take different or less revealing pictures or ignore them and quit whining.
That wall of text was a little hard to get through, but I share your hatred of administrative staff. The way I see it is that those kinds of jobs don't hire efficient/qualified people because the pay is so crappy. So the people working those jobs are usually the ones who don't know what they are doing. I have to get on their asses for every little thing here in college, including just making sure a form they asked -me- to sign actually gets to the right person.Quote:

All these people going to school want to be doctors or lawyers and in the end it's pretty rare that I meet any doctor or lawyer that is actually good at their job or know what they are talking about. And of course when budget cuts are enforced educational programs are usually one of the first to go. Society is ridiculous.
What an insulting, simplistic characterization of the movement. You are merely repeating FOX news and Limbaugh-like talking points. The occupy movement is not about getting stuff for free. It is about finally getting the filthy rich and the corporations to pay their fair share like we in the middle class do, so that all Americans have access to social services that benefit everyone. Are you a multi millionaire? I highly doubt it, and yet here you are on the side of the 1%, programmed by their agents to ignore your own self-interests to benefit the elite. Who's the fool?Quote:

And with administrative staff, I could rant for hours about the mayor of my town, but I'll only say one thing: our town hasn't had a tornado siren since the sixties or seventies. We didn't have one until 2010, yet we have brick sidewalks and all that. I guess the people in charge figure, we'll all die pretty and without a warning. :doh:Quote:

im having an annoyed moment and i need to.. scream.. However i've had a migraine all damn day,
ive been running around endlessly for my sick father and i cant have a decent word in without someone wanting to push me up against a wall. I
dont like being bullied for something I dont agree with. I dont like being told "oh it has to be done this specific way," when i see 4 different actions that can be taken for the better.
Im this close to blocking someone off my facebook, for their continual posting on my RL Facebook...
And im done/
I guess the first thing I'll complain about is a substitute teacher my class had back in December.
Okay, so my normal teacher had to go take care of her 90-year-old dad. Therefore we had to get a substitute teacher. This teacher told us to just call him ''Mr. P.'' We never learned his last name, from what I remember. Now, whenever our class isn't doing anything, I'll bring out a notebook and start drawing things. And what does this guy do? He goes over to my desk, THROWS the notebook off my desk, and tells me that ''drawing is for kindergartners.''
That one sentence had gotten me so mad. Art is (alomst) my life, and I just wanted to stand up, and scream at him how wrong he was. But, sadly, I am a push-over and didn't do anything. And that's when it got worse.
He had somehow gotten into a fight with one of the smartest kids in the whole grade, and he ends it by saying ''I'm older, so therefore I know more!'' No, you don't. And at the end of the school day, my friend, Talia, was so mad at this guy she got everyone to rebel against this guy. The next day, he had slapped a kid across the face for not saying ''Good morning Mr. P.'' The kid might have been lying, considering all of the lying that he did before. I suppose it was true, because by the end of day he was banned from stepping foot on school grounds.
And the other thing I'll be complaining about is/are Minecraft Griefers.
Griefers go around on Minecraft destroying things people worked hard on (ie; a diamond tower). I had unknowingly befriended not one, but two griefers. It was fun at first, we just ran around with lots and lots of TNT and diamond blocks.
And then they ran off. I just followed them, still not knowing that they were griefers, and they blew up the forest near the town I made. Then they ran straight to a house I made for a friend (it was pretty cool, the roof burned forever without burning down the house), and they start putting TNT around the house.
Now, if you put tnt down in the game, you can't remove it. You have to detonate it.
Out of pure fear for that house and everything that I've worked for, I left the game, and because I was the admin/controller, they were kicked out at the same time. Somewhere among the line, they screwed up the animal spawning, so no animals are around anymore. To this day, I'm still replanting that forest and trying to get the animal to spawn again.
On the bright side, I figured out to prevent TNT from blowing up.
So moral of the story/stories; teachers can be rude, and don't allow random people joining you in your server, despite the fact that they go to the same school as you.
edited for personal reasons. carry on.
-My dad is a know it all.
-He also follows me around when I'm on the phone and listens to my conversations, commenting on what I say every time he gets the chance. He always has something negative to say. And when I call him out on it, asking him to stop and it's rude, his favorite excuses are "I'm your father, I can say things like that" and, "quit bitching for the sake of bitching.
-I have an 8 1/2 month old Pomeranian puppy. I've only had him for around two months now. Lately I've discovered that the Pomeranian breed is more stubborn and hardheaded than other breeds, so you have to be firmer with your training. I use a louder, sterner voice than I usually would, and if he continues to misbehave, I grab onto the scruff of his neck and push him into his kennel. Since I've used this more direct method of training, I've made significant progress with his behavior. You apparently just need to be more stubborn than they are. ANYWAYS, my dad doesn't like this method, and every time the dog gets scolded, he picks him up and comforts him, and I feel like its giving the dog mixed signals, or teaching him that when he gets scolded, he can run to dad for pity and sympathy. Again, when I call my dad out on it, his excuse is "it's my house, you can't tell me what to do. Show some compassion."
-my dad doesn't believe in this whole mermaiding hobby. He thinks no one around my nautical themed city would hire a mermaid for anything. Well let me tell you something, today I saw the "Ripley's" aquarium truck in the canal park area near the lake, and apparently, Ripley's helped us build our very aquarium. I've been doing everything I know how to do to raise money for a Raven tail so I can follow my dream and put a smile on people's faces. I've set up an indiegogo account, (feel free to contribute, perks are worth it, link in my signature) I'm still offering custom etched glass, I've been saving up money from work like crazy, and I've even started...-shudder- donating plasma. Yet with me trying do hard, my dad still believes this is a phase in my life. He constanly reminds me every day about how no one will sponsor me, no one will donate to my cause, and even though one of the businesses here hired a jack sparrow impersonator for an event and it was one of the biggest money raisers the city has ever had, no one would ever be interested in hiring a mermaid.
Dad problems. -rolls eyes-
Oh yeah. And even though I've prepared myself with a 28 slide PowerPoint and a 4 page report about the mermaiding industry and why companies should sponsor me, I haven't gotten a single call back from any of the places I've inquired about. :( I called back a few and they said they still had to talk to their managers, but it's just an excuse. The manager of my local pharmacy said he'd have to ask the manager of the store. HE IS THE MANAGER OF THE STORE.
Also I'm only 19 and I found stretch marks on my thigh. :(
Ayla, Im 20 almost 21 and i have strectch maks on my thighs. It comes with being a lady. they may not look that wonderful, but its a part of you, and you should always embrace who you are. :)
Second. I hate it when I have a true medical reason for calling out of work and the manager gives me a hard time and tells me that i need a doctors note to prove there was something wrong. Like I have been so close to being like "fuck you" and walking out. I cant stand people who treat you like you're disposable. Like, seriously?! Have you no soul bossman?
I would also like to point out the fact that I am obviously way mature for my age because when going to dinner with other friends my age I have to stop them from throwing ice at eachother and drawing male genitalia on the table. :/ Really? how old are we again?! I'm also starting to seriously hate the fact that it seems like my dreams of getting a tail are slipping away more and more each day. I'll keep dreaming. But i'm sick of people telling me im rediculous!!!
end rant. :)
Just feel like bitching because my I'm in the middle of a move and that's just been eating away at what's left of my nerves for a few weeks. Been living in a hotel for over a week and eating out for a little longer than that, so my stomach is hating me very much despite me picking the healthier choices when I have the option and giving it herbs to sooth it. I had a DELICIOUS salad with actual raspberries in the vinaigrette and on the salad today btw, it was $14 though O_O Small town restaurants, yay. The apartment we applied to is taking too long to process our applications so we're spending more money on the hotel, and the moving company says we can get our stuff on the 7th at the very soonest. The weather here sucks- their summer is like San Diego's winter- and I'm looking at a possible 2 hr commute to school (partially on a freezing 1 hr ferry ride) because of my husband's work. Starting to lose it over here!!! X_x
I hate people who say, "you know?" at the end of every sentence. My bf has started doing that since he started play Eve every freaking day, every second he can spare to it. And then he tells me how boring life is... if you are glued to the pc, yeah, live gets boring indeed.
He also is a teacher who thinks everybody is stupid, so he has to explain everything in almost baby language. That really irritates me. Or the fact that he keeps getting louder on teamspeak while it doesn't matter how loud you talk, they won't listen if they don't want too.
Or that I have to keep repeating me, because he has 'super' earphones that block out the sound from outside.
End of bf annoyance rant. I do still love him though :)
I hate the chicks my husband works with. They are crazy, annoying bitches who think it's cute to flirt with him because he's THE ONLY intelligent, good looking man in the office who isn't over 60. And then they do the "tee-hee, you're hubby is cute," shit to me when/if I'm there. It doesn't annoy me because I think he's gonna go off and cheat on me, it annoys me because these gals are his CO-WORKERS, they are supposed to behave like PROFESSIONALS, and they DON'T. What's worse is that they do this shit, and my husband, who used to work with all men, now has the idea that this small handful of dumb chicks is an accurate representation of how ALL WOMEN ARE. To top it all off, they do the high-pitched cutesy baby talk shit. Some of these women are over 40. WTF??
Lastly, I hate it when people see me in the grocery store with my three girls (the younger two are 3 and 18 months) and say "looks like you have your hands full!" I swear if I had a nickle for every time
I have heard that I'd be rich. I just wanna look at these people and say "No shit!"
I have seven children, three by birth and four by adoption. My oldest son, now 18 has cerebral palsy and uses a power wheelchair. My oldest daughter, also 18, has spina bifida and uses hand crutches. I have an 11-year old son diagnosed with mild spina bifida and an 10-year old son diagnosed with mild CP. We have a 10-passenger van with a wheelchair lift, which we use whenever we all want to travel in the same car.Quote:

Normal is a setting on a washing machine. I have discovered that the most "normal" people I have known are also the most screwed up. Be different! as Dr. Suess said "those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind,"
I love that quote SO much, Lotus.
Yeeah...I just poured out my soul in this post but I realized maybe it's not such a good idea to post it all here, so I edited it out. Too complicated and too involved, and person I'm having problems with might see it here. I've been having problems with a certain friend. If anybody actually wants to know about it or would be willing to talk, feel free to pm me, but I feel like I just can't bitch it out...not even here.
I cannot stand it when I am stood up... and worse, I can't stand it when I'm stood up and my instincts told me it was going to happen before I agreed on the date to begin with. Someday I'll learn to go with my gut, but until then, I'll keep letting myself down.
There are many other things, but I'll discuss them later.
That I have a headache before work. It always happens.
I hate when people use the F-word when it's not necessary. Granted, IMHO there are very few times that call for profanity, but...really? When you're talking in normal conversation and it goes like this:
Me: "How are you?"
Them: "F***in great!"
Me: "...that's good...any reason?"
Them: "I F****in got a f******in internship!"
Me: "That's fantastic! I thought you were going to have to wait longer to find out. How did you know so fast?"
Them: "I was walking down the F*****in street and bumped into the f******in guy in charge! And I f****in asked him if I f*****in got the job, only I didn't really f****in say that because with him I gotta watch my f*****in mouth..."
You get the gist.
Really? What in heaven's name does that word add to the story? All it does is make me want to punch you in your "F***in mouth."
So I will probably offend some people with what I'm about to say, but I will continue anyway cause I'm pissed.
So, one of the lakes, Duck Lake, by where I live is great for swimming. There is a channel (not a boat channel, so shallow that while in my tail I had to army crawl through it) that connects it to Lake Michigan. Duck Lake drops off really quick, so its great for using a monofin b/c I can get to like 5 or 6 ft without being too far from shore.
Also, I am a very catious swimmer. I know my limits. I don't swim in Lake Michigan after storms because of rip currents. I don't even go past my knees if the water is rough, just because I never want to put myself in a situtaion that might put me in danger.
So anyways, in the past two weeks two 18 yr olds drowned in Duck Lake while swimming across. Both sets of parents admitted that their sons were not strong swimmers. Now, I'm pissed b/c the whoel communtiy is going to be all hyped up on this water saftey bit . when like 3 weeks ago some parents bitched me out b/c I warned them about letting their ten-year olds swim in Lake Michigan after we had just had like 2 weeks straight of storms. The kids were out by the sandbar, which i will admit is a lot of fun to be when the waves are white capping, but not the safest place to be at age ten while there is a chance of rip curretns. But I'm upset, becasue the next time I decide to go to Duck Lake and swim in either my tail or monofin, I will probably be bitched out about endangering myself and other shit. Also, the county is takling about shuttifn the beach, and possibly setting up places where you can only swim. Which upsets me cause those areas won't include the nice stretch for doing laps for triathalon training. I am really just upset over the whole hype about how 'dangerous' the lake is.
That sucks Bellasea. A few stupid people always ruin it for everyone :(
I try hard to never swear. It's classier. :)Quote:

I get that- I think there are quite a few games that go too far with the "kill 'em all" thing. That being said, my husband still plays war games from time to time. I think for him it's more of an outlet for how much he misses the Army though. And he never plays when the girls are up, so they don't see or hear any of it. Now for my next tiny rant....
Lately, people have been calling the restaurant where I work asking what time we close. I tell them we CLOSE at 9, but we usually STOP SEATING at 830. I always get this response- "oh, ok, well we will be there WAY before then," Then, at 8:59, the people who called earlier show up and want a table. We politely tell them we stopped seating half an hour ago. Then they argue with us about how "the girl on the phone said you close at 9," usually right to my face, and since I'm "THE GIRL ON THE PHONE," I tell them even more politely that I told them we USUALLY STOP SEATING AT 830. Then I get a lecture about how they drove to the restaurant to eat and because I LIED TO THEM, now they have to go hungry..... I'm really sorry to swear, but, WHAT THE HELL?
People come in all the time and treat us like we are their own personal servants. Like "what do you mean you don't want to start up all the woks and grills and fryers again one minute before close so I can have my Kung Pao chicken?" "why did you sweep and mop and do all your side work and clean the entire kitchen? Didn't you know I was coming???" I could SLAP these people. And you know, the really sad thing about these types is this- my boss and his family are extremely accommodating people, and nine times out of ten, if you ask Jason nicely for something, he'll make exceptions. But people are just rude and downright insulting and then they go on the local internet forum and spread rumors like we have gone out of business or they saw a rat in the kitchen (which you can't see from the dining room) and all because they chose to ignore "the girl on the phone" when she gave them fair warning that we stop seating early. GRRRR.
