Rant and Rave 3

I Hate Cops!

Tennessee is BULLSHIT. I may live here but im not FROM HERE. i'm from DETROIT and will ALWAYS claim that.

Last night I ran out of the house QUICKLY to drive up to the Wal-mart MARKET (a wal mart thats excusively a grocery store and pharmacy- had never seen these UNTIL i moved down here) to get a few necessities i needed. it was night time and the store was about a 5 minute drive from home. So i went in, got my things left out, drove home....a cop pulls me over not even 15 feet from my house. im RIGHT THERE on the Circle drive and he pulls me over and im trying to figure out WHAT FOR. i had my sealtelt on, wasnt speeding, didnt run stop signs (though i typically will late at night in my neigborhood LOL) ....so naturally i got an attitude.

He comes to the car and i asked him why was i stopped and he informs me that my left rear tail light is out. I had no idea of it actually. he asks me where i'm going and i resist the urge to get smart and simply say "My house. its right there" and i point. its LITERALLY a few seconds away. He asks for my license, registration and proof of insurance. i hand him my license from my purse and i suddenly realize i left my vehicle documents envelope in the HOUSE.

now back in detroit, since i worked downtown...ALOT of people would routinely take their "vehicle documents" in and out the car with them because auto theft IS admittedly HIGH in detroit city and if your car is stolen, someone could simply say "they let me borrow" it and would you believe that in some instances that WORKED!? well anyway in detroit alot of folk will keep their insurance/registration documents with them and so its a habit that i have.

I explained to him that i simply forgot to grab my envelope that i keep these things in but that my house was RIGHT THERE and i would be glad to go and get them to show to him. He proably heard that before and was not really looking interested. Im sorry but im NOT about to flirt with some old arrogant cop. it just doesnt work for me.

So this bastard writes me up for not having insurance. as h e prepares to leave, i stop him by calling after him and saying: "EXCUSE ME, isnt there a provision for me to take my insurance to the traffic division and have this tickent waived?" (thats common place in most states). he obviously didnt expect me to know that so he turned around while exhaling and explained the procedure.

TODAY i go to take care of this ticket. but what THIS IDIOT OFFICER didnt tell me was that thanks to the tennessee legislature...a new law was passed so even though the traffic division will dismiss the ticket, this new "law" that has passed MANDATES a $12.00 "dismissal fee" AND a 'one time' $42.00 "administrative fee"... :eek:

i looked at the woman like she had lost her mind and said "do you mean to tell me, that even tough this ticket is being dismissed, i STILL have to pay?? thats RIDICULOUS ive worked for th e government for YEARS and i've NEVER heard of this before." (in michigan)

she proceeded to get smart with me telling me "well if you had realized that tennessee law states you must be able to produce insurance anytime you are asked..." and i cut her off saying "hold up miss girl, I'm NEW to this dustbowl of a state and so therefore I dont HAVE to REALIZE anything. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. people try to do the right thing and you STILL want to screw them coming and going. you have a real good racket."

she said "well you still have to pay..." and i said "what i HAVE to do is speak to your supervisor because i dont care for your attitude." and so when she tried to snub me, i flashed my gov't badge and said "dont try to do me like you do the public. i KNOW how to get ahold of the higher ups back there."

the little twit could see that i wasnt about to be dismissed by HER so i spoke with her supervisor who explained to me what was going on and why and i expressed my displeasure to HER in a calm but clear manner. when it was said and done, SHE exercised her authority to waive the 12.00 fee because THAT was something that particular division had imposed but she COULDNT waive the $42.00 fee. only a JUDGE would do that and she told me that they NEVER do it down here.

clearly its another way for the state to make money off the public...and even though I work for the gov't i CLEARLY am reminded why people HATE dealing with the state/fed gov't agencies.

I made an honest mistake and that cop OBVIOUSLY had nothing better to do and was trying to make his quota so even though i had my papers and was able to proove so, i still had to pay and PERSONALLY i didnt appreciate it.
 
You have a government badge? That's awesome! LOL! Every time we have a Revenue Officer from the Internal Revenue Service meet with our attorney they flash their little badge lol.

I had an incident similar to yours minus the insurance claim. I was driving late at night, I was driving home from my job. I drive up the road which crossed at a T to my road. So, I drive up the sharp incline, which there's a stop sign there. I do a "five second" stop and I pull out to turn onto my road. My house is less than a hundred feet away!

Well, the lights go off behind me. So I pull over, about fifteen feet from my mailbox lol. The guy gets out of the K-9 Unit truck. The dog is barking but I remain calm even though its ridiculous. He comes over to me with a BLINDING flashlight in my eyes! I could barely see a thing, plus his headlights were blinding me too.

The officer looked young, I'd say he was probably in his late twenties. The reason he pulled me over? I didn't "come to a complete stop." I point to the blue cape on the corner and say, "Officer, I live right there." He proceeds to ask me for my license and registration. Meanwhile, he's looking at my dashboard to see my car inspection. I don't even get the chance to give him my license or my registration.

Instead he leaves me with a warning! LOL!

What's funny about my incident is the previous week I was pulled over for speeding by a different police officer on my way to work. I was driving 40 in a 30! LOL! That guy pulled me over and checked to see if I had any violations, speeding tickets, etc. I've never gotten any speeding ticket before. So, he lets me go with a warning too.

One thing I know about cops is they love playing "God." If you piss them off, they'll give you a ticket. Always keep your hands on the wheel, turn the car off, and keep your mouth shut lol. Don't be rude, just let them do the talking no matter how ridiculous it may be.

I think the cop gave you a ticket because you got smart with him lol. But, that's really retarded though. I can't believe you went through all that because of some ass hole.
 
I'm not a big fan of dishing on girls I'm involved with, but for some reason I feel the need to say:

If and when you in fact do give me a call, you'd better have a damn good reason for practically disappearing off the face of the earth for a month. Unless you (and only you) were in a hospital bed without my knowledge, then I'm incapable of fathoming how you actually give a shit about this relationship and yet couldn't put my worries at ease with a five minute phone call. Christ, now I know what it's like being a goddamn father with your kid out past curfew.

I swear to God I don't know why I even bother with relationships, sometimes.
 
I'm totaly wasted so my typing sucsk ass from here! My ffrind, Krisain, invited me to a Halloween party. The same chick I knew from High School who is now an exotic dancer. Guess whose gonna be there? DakotaQ! The chick who looks like Holly marie combis from charmed, who gave me a lapdance.

Tirms out Dakota swings both ways loll. So, guess, I get to see her at Kristin's Halloween party lol, nicee.:nod::p
 
idiots

so last night I got into a fist fight with Kristina. Sam and Vil will know who this person is...and the whole tragic situation surrounding it. well to make the long story short, someone that I (and my family ) have long been connected to is about to pass away from cancer. Kristina is her daughter and she's a stupid , loud mouth, ghetto bitch. I can't stand her super duper mega trifflin' ass. :rolleyes:

i was out terribly late last night due to obligations and when i was coming into the court leading to my circle drive, I was stopped by freddy to inform me of the situation and how worse it had gotten and here SHE comes, ranting and raving that i must have called the property management company to tell them that she was living in dorothy's house without it being reported and so apparently they're scrutinizing her and she wanted to get in my face.

boy, i jumped out that car and went off on her and DARED her to "do something about it" and she took a swing. that was ALL I NEEDED to attack her ass. Freddy and his brother had to work HARD to pull us apart and i made SURE to rip her earring out of her ear. i was PISSED!!

she better get a clue or there might be TWO funerals in a short space of time.

dumb bitch.
 
LOL! If I see you on Ghetto Street Fights Volume 4, Farrah, i'm going to laugh my ass off. :p

Where did she hit you anyway? In the face?
 
Can I just ask when asking for quarters at my own damn bank became a crime? I hand the girl a $20 and ask nicely for a roll of quarters. I even say please. She looks at me like I've just asked her to pick my nose for me, and asks me if I have an account with the bank. I say yes. She asks to see my bank card. She then bs's with her coworker while I wait for 5 minutes.

Excuse me for wanting to do my laundry...

Click to expand...

well she punched at me but not in my face it was more in my chest and she got me too. but damn if i wasnt expecting SOMETHING like that to happen and i just went BALLISTIC i ran at her so fast, IGNORING the pain and just went for broke. i got her in her jaw and let me just say , there is NOTHING fun about hitting someone in their jaw. that shit HURTS...and i had a flash of panic because i thought i'd just broken my hand but in the midst of the fight it was just about me getting her as much as i could. she's a big girl and i couldnt afford to be weak or passive about it.

even now....my hand is still sore and that's why you havent seen me on here that much the last day.
 
call centers...i fucking hate them

i can't stand having to call a call center, be it for my credit cards, house charge cards or whatever. you never get anyone AMERICAN anymore...you always get someone with an impossibly THICK accent who is clearly reading lines and hardly UNDERSTANDING if there's an issue outside of making a payment.

I had an issue with my Target Red Card this evening, i was making an exchange of an item for another one and there was a small difference to pay and so i opted to put it on my charge card, but then it said the card was DECLINED and i was like "oh hell no! there's plenty of money on that thing" but rather than waste time, i just put the balance on my visa, it was only 11 bucks but i wasnt carrying any cash on me at the moment.

I went to the car and immediately called "member services" off the back of the card and after attempting to zero out several times to get past all the automated garbage and menu options, i FINALLY got someone....who obviously was using a fake name and with an accent so thick i almost thought i was going to need to call a translator.

it was increasingly frustrating just to try to explain to him that i wanted to know the status of a payment i had made on my card because there shouldve been AT LEAST 200 dollars roughly available out of my 500 limit after purchasing a few small furnishings for my home and yet, i couldnt even put a lousy 11 bucks on the card?

well FINALLY after he seemed to comprehend what i was saying (and i could decipher his borderline gibberish) he said "no payment has been made" and i'm like 'excuse me? yes it has. I made the payment at the service desk at the target i just left". i ALWAYS make my payments at the target store because they will post IMMEDIATELY on the account when you do that. so after him repeating this three times...i started getting PISSED. i know what i did, i have the receipt to proove it and i keep track of my balance so that i WOULDNT be at the register having a clerk tell me "the card is declined" :rolleyes:

finally, i asked for a supervisor and when he questioned me WHY? that's when i went off...and i went off good.

its bad enough call centers are now outsourced...companies dont want to pay decent american workers to do the job so they send these jobs overseas to people who dont know how to speak decent english and cant understand there's more to a call center than collecting payments...and we "cardholders' cant get anything done without going through an HOUR of menu selections and dealing with call center reps who dont have a clue. :rant:

after i got him told, then i got a supervisor, a woman, an AMERICAN named Dawn who CLEARED up the misunderstanding immediately, telling me that the payment WAS in the system but that it now takes at least 24 to 48 hours for it to turn around back into available credit on the card...so she confirmed the payment was made/received, it just hadnt posted and thats why my available balance hadnt updated. THAT WAS ALL I WANTED TO CONFIRM...and that IDIOT with the voice and accent that sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles couldnt handle that?

THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY OUTSOURCING DOESNT WORK!
 
Outsourcing is going to go out - companies are going to soon start to realize how much it pisses people off, and they will use the fact that THEY have AMERICAN call centers as an advertising ploy.

I'm glad I wasn't the person on the other end of the line there though Spells lol. I can't believe they gave you lip when you asked for a supervisor.

:)
 
WHY oh why do bars have restroom attendants? Look, I understand it's a job for someone, but I'm poor. I can turn on the water for myself and take a paper towel out of the dispenser myself. I don't need to pay someone to do that for me every time I go to the bathroom when I'm drinking Guinness. And they burn that incense crap in there which makes me want to vomit. And then when I go in there and go before I leave, I don't give the woman another tip, and I'm sure I got looks from the other women in there. But I'm sorry, yeah, I expect it when I'm at the Plaza. I DON'T expect it when I'm in a 4 foot by 4 foot concrete bathroom in a bar!
 
ive never heard of such a thing. not at a BAR. i could understand an upscale club, a five star hotel or a high end restaurant....but not your average bar...and then the added burden of a tip??? thats ridiculous...
 
working for the government

"Government worker's declaration"

I work for the Dept. of Commerce & Insurance, and I am on the regulatory board that provides oversight over private insurance providers in the state of Tennessee we regulate and license them and make sure they follow the federal and state rules as they appear in any given state. There's this stigma that is often attached to gov't workers as having ATTITUDES, being BITCHY, APATHEIC etc and guess what? ITS JUSTIFIED and here's why:

Working for the gov't classifies me as a "civil servant", but that HARDLY means that i will be a DOORMAT, that i will tolerate IGNORANCE and HOSTILITY OR that I will be able to wave my hands or twitch my nose like Samantha Stevens from Bewitched and solve your problem just because YOU think it should be handled YOUR way.

Here are a few helpfull hints when preparing to deal with a gov't office.

1) Know where the hell you're calling. Don't just dial a random number out of the phone book and think that an agency TOTALLY UNRELATED to what you need or looking for is going to have ESP and be able to anticipate your needs. It will be just as frustrating for YOU as it is all the many depts you call and start spouting off to as you go on your oddessy to find where you need to go.

1 B) If YOU don't know what the hell you want or why you're calling here, then WE certainly wont either and therefore if, after at least two attempts to HELP YOU , you STILL can't get it together...you WILL get hung up on and trust me, we CAN make it so you NEVER find out who it was you talked to or where you called!

2) Be able to COMMUNICATE CLEARLY. if you call or come into an office unannounced and sounding like you just had a stroke, then you will probably NOT find it easy to get the help you need. If you call on the phone sounding like TAQUANDA who just got done drinking a 40 oz then you will most likely get laughed at and hung up on.

3) If you are informed that you are in the wrong dept. kindly KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT and allow me to tell you where you need to go. If I can't definatively direct you, then I will certainly dial the switchboard operator for you or attempt to find someone who CAN point you in the right direction...but NOT if you start acting like you were raised on a BARN with no sense of control.

4) I am NOT a secretary. That is not my title, NOR will i be spoken to as such. If i'm the first person you see/talk to, more than likely i'm COVERING for the admin asst. who is on lunch (as do all the staff from this office...we rotate) but understand that if you come at the desk acting like an ass, I will give it RIGHT BACK TO YOU.

5) If you are attempting to fill a complaint against an insurance company, you might want to have your documents in order and be prepared to be instructed on the PROCESS. You don't just call /come in here and start yelling like a drunken banshee who got kicked out of a bar. We get 100's of calls a day...90% of which are unfounded and frivolous..we are NOT going to stop what we're doing just because you're mad that your policy got cancelled because you didnt pay your premium.

6) This is NOT Medicaid, Medicare OR TennCare. We DON'T offer insurance and we will NOT assist you in getting any. GET OVER IT and MOVE ON!

7) We do NOT control the media. Don't call here asking us to "tell them to stop running geico commercials so often." if you have an issue with what's being broadcast on your television, CALL THE FRICKIN' FCC!

8) NO , we are NOT hiring and if we were, you calling this department, chewing gum and asking "IS Y'ALL HIRING" is certainly NOT going to get you any closer to your dream of joining the ranks of the employed. This isnt 1978, its 2008, there IS a formula these days for job hunting...LEARN IT.

9) NO, you DON'T pay our salary since we are NOT local gov't employees so therefore, you can KICK ROCKS if you don't like the fact that we will not bend to your every whim. If you have exhausted all your options with us, GET AN ATTOURNEY like anyone else would have to and get the hell on!

10) If you still think gov't workers are bitchy...SO DAMN WHAT!

*exhales*

Now then, with only 2 hours left in today's work day....I feel better!
 
I go to the gym three times a week for 1-2 hours during that time. I mainly go for the classes Gold's gym provides. But I have 'Body Jam' on Wednesday's after work for an hour. Its a dance class that's a combination of hip-hop / dance choreography.

I'm pretty short at 5'5 so clearly there are women much taller than I. I stay in the back of the class so I can see the instructor's footwork plus its not as crowded.

But anyway we have a couple of NASTY ass tall bitches in that class that wear the most DISGUSTING apparel. I wear simple addias pants and a t-shirt with sneakers, nothing fancy seeing as I'm getting hot and sweaty lol. Okay, now we have this 'Glamazon' as I call her aka big-tall bitch who needs to lay off the miracle grow. She's probably 5'9 and her hips are thicker than a milkshake LOL! She's got a fat ass I mean BIGGER than a ghetto booty. She's makes a black woman's booty look like its flat. She's got a pretty face with blonde hair but she's ungraceful and she's nearly knocked me down with the quick step LOL. Thus, why I prefer to stay away.

It gets better so she comes walking in with these 70's looking eye-glasses and these tight-ass black spandex pants with big-bold pink lettering that says "Love Pink" or gotta love pink. Her ass looked like Jell-O. She was in front of me so I had to see that nasty shit, talk about an eye sore. When we were doing choreography to Thriller her ass was shaking like an earthquake. Shalandrea, my work out buddy was cracking up, she's black so she's all too familiar with a 'ghetto booty' but she says Glamazon has her beat.

To make it worse Glamazon had a thong on!! Who the hell wears a thong when exercising? LOL! She kept pulling at that shit too. It was disgusting and Shalandrea and I were cracking up that we were screwing up our moves lol. She kept tugging on her pants lol. She end leaving the class half way through, which its an hour long.

Shal and I STILL laugh about 'Glamazon' as we have labeled her. Sir-mix-a lot's 'baby got back' ain't got shit on that bitch lol.
 
Usually I'm pretty good with dealing with drama as I get older. But lately, I've been keeping things inside and I'm so FUCKING sick of being nice to losers, idiots, and liars who are two-faced. I'm tired of giving my worthy time to others when its just a one-way street. I must be asking too much in life but I just wanna hit someone in the face lol.

I'm tired of being blown off for lame excuses, I'm tired of being nice, I'm tired of being understanding, I'm tired of getting fed lies and trying to give people chances.

People fucking blow and I'm tired of taking their bullshit! I'm tired of trying to be the better person. I just need to kick some ass! I try to watch what I say because I don't wanna hurt feelings. But it doesn't pay to be NICE!

I'm feeling so angry that I want to hurt them all, my Scorpio traits shinning through. I want them to pay.

Arghh fucking losers! Lol. Laughing seems so inappropriate but its amusing how pathetic people are!
 
WE CAN FUCKING SWEAR AND SHIT HERE AT THIS FUCKING GREAT SITE?!?!?!

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! :heee:xyxthumbs:

Son Of A Bitch! The things you can learn on a Monday! :xyxthumbs:

I hate these assholes who come as immigrants to a country, know what the language is then refuse to make use of it. That is a straight out RACIST act on their part. Don't give me this bullshit that it's hard for them or it takes time. That's a huge crock.
 
I hate inconsiderate people. I hate people who take advantage of others. I hate people who rip other peoples lives apart for their own selfish desires. I hate that i've come to this point. And I hate that my entire life is just one giant ball of stress and anxiety.

I fucking hate people in general. So fuck off.
