The Rant Thread...

Is'nt insurance an odd business .... those who sell it to you hope you will never demand they deliver what they promised & you paid for. And you hope you will never have a reason to demand what you paid for.

Wouldn't happen in any other business ... all very odd really.

health insurance companies man! as if they don't rip off americans enough. just found out that a $100 deductible for prescription drugs was added to my plan effective 1/1. thanks for the heads up, united. you suck. waste of money.

My insurance did the same exact thing!!!!

That suck but it's also sad that one scrip can hit that deductible.

So true! And it really starts to add up when you get 2 or 3!!

A good point, and also prone to shocking amounts of abuse, witness the false claims, murder disguised as natural death for insurance money etc, its a strange fish alright.

You know what, I really, I mean REALLY, hate living with people. At least the people I currently live with...

I use a bowl, spoon, and cup in a day and that's it. Then all of the sudden there's flippin' practically every single dish in the kitchen dirty in the sink!
Water could have been put in it and it's left in the sink. Whatever happened to taking a minute to suds it up, rinse and put it back? Apparently the words "own responsibilty" do not exist in their vocabulary.

They're terrible at cleaning up after themselves or even picking up a piece of trash for someone, but absolute professionals at criticizing and nagging at others to do the same.

And what in God's name is with the whole moving someone's things without telling them and not even remembering where you put them?!?!?!
It drives me insane!

I have homework to finish and I can't find my flippin' book that I need to do my review since it's word for word fill in from the book. Now I have to wait 3 days before I can go to school and borrow a book and be put behind schedule... Ugh!

Family or not, they're soo inconsiderate. Do they even have jobs to complain about being tired and relaxing? No, not even close.

Read hardcovers. Hit 'em with your book.
I quit smoking ten hours ago and I've got a mild case of wanting to kick the crap out of everything in sight.

[Stinkin' Fascist]

haha, I think your urge is a good response to quitting.
Not to mention amusing as heck.

[Tralala]

Unfortunately, I have this Responsible Adult thing going on.

[Stinkin' Fascist]

No, I'd see it as teaching your kids to express their true feelings to others

[Tralala]

I think they learned that lesson by age 3.

[Stinkin' Fascist]

Well then why worry?!

[Tralala]

If I kick the crap out of something I have to replace and/or fix it.
Or......blame Dr. Phil. Hmmm.....

[Stinkin' Fascist]

Well everything IS Dr. Phil's fault already... A little white lie won't hurt anyone.

You should just buy doubles of everything so if you break one you can replace it and nothing eeevvvveeeerrrrr happened...

Best of luck with quitting!! I quit 1 year ago this month and I remember wanting to particularly kick my husband's butt!

If I made that much money, I....well, I wouldn't live in WI!

Thanks for the idea, Mairin! I'll just kick the crap out of my ex-husband. He's 6'4" tall, and I'm 5'3", so he probably won't even notice.
