Things that send you into fits of psychotic, apoplectic rage

Gonna have to pay that parking ticket.

Quote: the doc, Jan 2010

Gonna have to pay that parking ticket. The council are f*cking thieving, money-grabbing c*nts and I'll be packing in my job with them as soon as I can find somewhere else that'll have me,

How come? Also I thought you loved your job

I'm actually stood in the kitchen counting pennies. I'm literally trying to scrape £1.20 for the bus to help somebody out. It's one way. I have to walk the four miles home.

I've only found £1.19, but I'll be damned if I'll ask the shopman to let me off a penny for my oyster. I will comb the streets to find that last penny if it isn't in my house.

I need a job.

I remember all my periods of sickness and unemployment and it's an unwritten law that all the loose change you can find is always just a little bit short of being able to buy what you need. It blows.

Good song!

I know I'm always banging on about them but I really can't emphasise enough what a brilliant band the Replacements were. Their early stuff especially is incredible.

I just spewed my ringer

Sounds painful....

Our boiler.

Boiler man came again today, with the part he'd ordered.

Put it in. Said it was fixed.

Left.

Come home, switch hot tap on. Cold water, then a f*cking minor explosion in the f*cking boiler!

And no, still no hot water.

F*ck you, Opal. You are NOT holding up your end of the tenancy agreement.


Second rant:

At work today, doing interviews...

Me: "On a scale of 0 to 10 with 10 being extremely likely, and 0 being not at all likely, how likely are you to pay more for the following products and services?"
Man: "Pay? What do you mean? Pay with what?"

*Headdesk*

Same man, few questions later:
(0 to 10 scale, whether the following apply to you)

Me: "I like to try things that are new to me"

Man: "I like to try things that are NEWT to me? What do you mean?"

Ok, I can see how you can get that. But surely common sense should eliminate the probability of that ever being said?

*Head banged against brick wall*
