RANT THREAD META

WINCO IS DISCONTINUING THE DISCOUNT FOR USING YOUR OWN BAGS EFFECTIVE 2/1.

USPS CHARGES $1.10 FOR ONLINE CHANGE OF ADDRESS.

MY VERY WORN CONVERSE LET IN WATER FROM EVEN THE SHALLOWEST PUDDLES.

MY WRIST IS SORE, SO I HAVE TO USE MY PEPPER GRINDER WITH MY NON-DOMINANT HAND ON TOP, WHICH FEELS AWKWARD AND IS SLIGHTLY MORE TIME CONSUMING.

JALAPEÑOS AND AVOCADOS CAN BE A CRAPSHOOT OF TASTELESSNESS THIS TIME OF YEAR.

EVERYDAY I DRIVE BY THE MESS OF BELTLINE ON/OFF RAMP TRAFFIC AND EVERYDAY I GET PISSED OFF AT OUR SHITTY AND WASTEFUL CIVIL ENGINEERS THAT ARE CLEARLY CLUELESS!!!

THAT NEWLY “RENOVATED” DISASTER HAS CAUSED ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, GIVEN METHHEADS MORE PLACES TO CAMP - RIGHT ON PRECIOUS ANIMAL BREEDING GROUNDS AND FRAGILE WATERWAYS - MORE CAR ACCIDENTS AND EVEN WORSE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS!

AND WHOEVER THE FUCKING GENIUS WAS THAT THOUGHT A LARGE ROADSIDE WITH A METAL POLE AT A FORK ON THE FWY WAS SMART BETTER FUCKING THINK TWICE WHEN A FUCKING CAR FINALLY FLIES INTO IT HEAD FIRST.

THAT PROJECT HAD SPECIAL FUNDS TO RESEARCH (ie do fuck all) ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SAID PROJECT WOULD HAVE AND THEY RAN OUT OF THE FUNDS!!!!!!!!!!

THE FUCK! WHY DO THESE ASSHOLES KEEP PLAYING WITH OUR TAX MONEY!? WHY ARE THE STUPIDEST PEOPLE ALWAYS THE ONES MAKING THE DECISIONS?

SORRY. I COULDN"T DISAGREE WITH YOU MORE. THE DELTA / BELTLINE INTERCHANGE WAS THE WORST INTERSECTION IN THE ENTIRE AREA. I'M ECSTATIC THAT IT IS GONE.

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH JESSICABIELSMOM ON THIS ONE. GETTING ON DELTA FROM BELTLINE EAST WAS A DEATHTRAP. THERE WAS A 40FT SECTION OF ROAD YOU HAD TO MERGE ONTO THAT PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO MERGE OUT OF. IMAGINE FROGGER, IF YOU WILL. TERRIFYING.
