    Idiot guys in SUVs who blow through intersections after the left turn light has already disappeared and nearly kill pedestrians who have started to cross, because, you know, there's a WALK SIGNAL. I mean, he came a good two seconds after the last car, and that car also ran the light.

    He was inches from hitting a guy coming from the other side who had already crossed to the median, and a few feet from hitting the lady in front of me. I saw him speeding through the turn lane too fast to stop, so I hung back on the sidewalk and almost yelled at her to look out, but she saw and jumped back in time. Jerkhole kind of stared at us and then floored it.

    I'm glad I wasn't holding anything heavy, because I was well angry enough to throw something through his window. I barely managed to restrain myself from flipping him the bird. That was half an hour ago and I'm still hot about it. He could've killed two people if they had been just a little less alert.

    Obviously wherever it was that he was going was WAY more important than what you were up to. Duh! :laughlol:

    I hate - HATE - these people. The jerkwad that blew a stop sign to enter Philadelphia Road from one of the side streets in Rosedale last Friday that caused me to slam on my brakes deserves a venereal disease. I honked my horn while stopping and you know what he did? Gave me the finger! Then he changed lanes and slowed down so I wound up along side him on Pulaski Highway, rolled down his window, and told me to pull over so he could eff me up. "You blew a stop sign, cut me off, gave me the finger, and you want to fight me?"

    There was a time in my life when I'd have taken the bait, beat him till he stopped moving, and went about my day. Instead, I drove on. I know I should feel good about walking away, but people like that need to be taught a lesson.

    I hope you left time to squeeze in a run as well;)

    Chiropractor said no running until further notice. I have (had...I'm pain-free now) a pinched nerve in my lower back that was causing searing hot pain in my lower back, hip, and down into my knee. As a bonus, I also have the early workings of a degenerative disk in my neck. Both issues are being curbed by visiting the chiropractor 3 times a week along with a 30-minute yoga workout daily. I'm chomping at the bit to get back to running because I haven't felt this good in a long, long time. Plus I'm eager to start shedding some weight. Hopefully this week I can get back on the C25K plan.

    Sunny skies during the week and clouds and rain for the weekend.

    Anti-rant? Rushing home from work three days in a row so my wife and I could get out on the Harley in unseasonably good October weather. :clap3:

    Damn that rock for putting a star on my windshield this morning. I haven't even put 1500 miles on the car yet.

    Call your insurance company. Most of them fix stars for free and will even send a repair company to your house/office to do the work. It takes like 30 minutes and they're done.

    Hey, fellow men, don't be dramatic. OK? Don't. You're acting like a woman. But not just a woman, a stupid dramatic woman (because, of course, all women aren't dramatic).

    Cut it out. Drink a beer, belch. Maybe fart. Move on. Don't be dramatic.

    Were you referring to Phillip Rivers? That's just who popped into my head when I read this. If you'd have thrown a 'whiny' and a 'pouting' in there it would describe Rivers' antics on Sunday.

    Jim Breuer's attempt at a comeback via Pizza Hut commercials is gonna drive me crazy.

    Also, what the hell is wrong with Pizza Hut? Maybe they should spend their time and resources finding ways to make their pizzas taste better, rather than finding weird places to drop a crapload of cheese.

    Did you guys see the out take video?

    I'm reading "Different Seasons" by Stephen King. It's a short-story compilation that includes "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", "Apt Pupil", and "The Body" (aka "Stand by Me").

    I'm always fascinated with the book-to-movie comparisons and there seems to be WAY more differences between the stories above and the movies that were based on them.

    As far as Shawshank Redemption is concerned...you still come away amazed and in awe with Andy Dufresne, but the book develops his character as well as his friendship with Red way more.

    Apt Pupil? The movie was weak, but the book cranked up the creepy factor by about a million, so it was good.

    I'm still in the middle of "The Body". Not nearly as funny yet as the screen adaptation, but great reading so far.

    The twin d-bags in Baltimore who set the pitbull on fire. I vote eye-for-an-eye. They should be doused with gasoline and set ablaze while bystanders point and laugh.

    Got news yesterday that my son won a scholarship to attend the "Future Champions" wrestling camp at McDonogh School at the end of this month. He's still a first-year wrestler, but his attitude and commitment toward the sport along with his success makes it appear that he's found his "thing". The camp isn't really that expensive, but it's still something tangible that he's earned through being a good kid, a hard worker, and a committed athlete. I've heard greate things about this camp, so I'm excited for him and the level of instruction he's going to be exposed to.

    While my wife and kids were waiting to be seated at Denny's for lunch (today's his 11th birthday and he wants a big breakfast for lunch), a family was leaving. The son was wearing a Yankees hat. My wife said my son stared him down, shook his head, and said quietly as the family passed, "Pssh...Yankees suck." :D

    There's a fella being raised the right way. He continues to make me proud in every way possible.

    Wow!:eektf:

    That is all I can say!

    I'm sorry if that came off harsh or if you feel like I'm picking on you. Totally not my intention. I'm just trying to help you enjoy your experience here as much as possible.

    I apologize

    I did not understand the sarcasm:002_scry:

    If you weren't always on the edge of some emotional extreme the sarcasm might not have escaped you.

    Stay classy, O's fans, stay classy. :rolleyes:

    C'mon man! It's the RANTS section! We don't have to be rational or logical or even truthful! :D

    Truth be told? The two times I've encountered him at Oriole Park he was so nice to me he made me angry. I so hoped he'd be a jerk and come off like an arrogant jackhole but he was the exact opposite.

    And yes, the Jeter hate festered even further. Why? For not living up to my expectations. Logical? Nope. But it's how I feel. I don't always have to be reasonable and rational when it comes to being a sports fan. Especially not in the Rants section. ;)

    Can someone explain to me why when it rains heavily the floor on the passenger side of my car gets soaking wet?

    Especially when there are no descernible leaks anywhere I can see? The only why would be from underneath but I'm not sure how that's physically possible.

    Do you have a sunroof? This was happening in my car. My sunroof wasn't actually leaking but it wasn't draining properly. The dealer fixed it for me.
