How come hot dogs are packaged 10 to a container but how dog buns are packaged 8 in a bag?

Enquiring minds would like to know.

(No, I don't want a scientific response for an answer. This was only meant as a joke.

Just post a silly rant here. No need to cause a controversy, just something we all can share a laugh about.)

People who have multiple noises going on at the same time. My mom does this All the time, TV blasting, watching a YouTube video, and talking on the phone or WORSE trying to talk to me, all at the same time!

People who call you and are talking to someone else... I immediately hang up on them.

Last one I can think of.... When you're driving on a single lane road with a speed limit of let's say 50 mph and someone is turning right And slows down for 3 miles prior to the turn then comes to a complete stop and then proceeds to s l o w l y turn.. JUST GO!!!!!

checking out at the grocery store (Walmart)......been standing in line for what feels like forever, finally my turn so I start trying to unload my cart on the belt and the damn cashier refuses to turn the belt on until she is completely finished with the person in front of me!!! Why??? I know I'm going to lose it one day and just start throwing my stuff!

having worked in retail before I can tell you the *why* but it wouldn't make you feel better! It is rude though!

People who tell you they like to travel and then wait expectantly for you to compliment them like its a virtue. Who wouldn't like to travel if they had the money?

Also drivers who see the lane ending but apparently think their time is more valuable than everyone else's. Instead of merging like everyone else they speed up and pass everyone expecting you to let them back in at the front of the line.

Finally truckers with bumper stickers saying how much they paid in taxes without mentioning how much more money their trucks cost taxpayers with all the wear and tear on our roads.

Oh, and I have to agree with PayItForward, I think most people stand while on escalators. There really isn't room to pass someone so I only walk up if no one else is on.

This new "everyone deserves a trophy" BS... which seems to have created a generation of people whining and complaining accusing others of being "hateful" or "judgmental" when the opinion/advice given is not exactly what they wanted to hear - or not wrapped up in a pretty bow!!! WTF people - how thin is your damn skin!!!??? If you don't want opinions then don't fricken ask!!! This is not group counseling!!!

I would go further and say that most people on this journey should be in group counseling. And a high percentage should also be in individual counseling as well.

My surgeon's facility offers group sessions twice a month and I plan on attending all of them until surgery... and continuing post-op as well.

We're very fortunate to live in a beautiful older building in a lovely (and astronomically expensive) neighborhood close to our work for a reasonable amount, so I really shouldn't rant, but I'm going to anyway. The 16-year-old boy in the unit below ours takes showers in excess of an hour, up to three times a day, and he has done so for the past two years. He has OCD, and if he steps outside, he must come in and take another hour-long shower. This wouldn't be any of my business except - the pipes begin to scream after about 20 minutes; it's surreally loud, and he'll shower at 2 in the morning sometimes while on school breaks. We are in Los Angeles where there's a historic drought, and everyone is reminded to be water conscious. The drought has also caused the water bill to spike. There aren't meters on individual units, so instead the water bill is split evenly and we all pay for it. I do have compassion for him and his parents, but feel like something could have been done at this point to address the problem rather than let it continue. I just got home and wanted to chill out, but the pipes are screaming. When the pipes aren't that loud, he's blasting his music or dribbling his basketball inside the house. We have a park across the street with courts. I used to live next to a frat house, and I lived in a sorority house, so I'm not in need of perfect silence, but this kid has definitely managed to step on my nerves. Silly rant over.

People who call you and are talking to someone else... I immediately hang up on them.

Or when they call you and then put you on hold. CLICK. And I don't answer when they call back. That's why we have voicemail that I don't listen to.

PULL UP YOUR DAMN PANTS!!!! I don't want to see your Hanes underwear with your belted pants around your knees!!! One day, I might get arrested, but I'm going to pull someone's pants down... I guess I should find out how much bail money will be for this...

People who call and don't leave voicemail.

Now my voicemail message says, "I go through my incoming calls regularly, and if I see your number twice and there's no voicemail, I'm simply going to blacklist your number. You have been warned."

The best part is I've blocked so many numbers that I rarely get any spam calls.

Such great general-life rants, I almost hate to add a weight-loss related one! But I will anyway. Why do I have round firm full 'saddlebags' and flat droopy saggy boobs after all this weight loss?
