Halloweenie

This is not just about Halloween. This is about a bunch of stuff. Crap, I'm moody today. That's the only warning you're gonna get.

Halloween - Very fun, LOVE handing out candy to kids. Some of them are sooooo cute "Twick o Tweet." Or as my 18 month old niece would say "Tuh." Want to know what I don't like? The kids who are too old to be trick or treating. First of all, they rarely have decent costumes (usually consisting of regular clothes and a cheesy mask) second, they take all your candy! Sorry, but when you hit your teen years, either you better have a kick-ass costume, or don't even come by my house. I didn't buy all this yummy candy so some stupid teenage boys could come ring my doorbell, comment on how much my house needs to be cleaned, then expect me to reward them for wearing a BYU sweatshirt and Frankenstein mask. I DON'T THINK SO! I told those little jerks they could only have one piece of candy, the rest of the neighborhood kids got a handful.

Customer Service - What? What does that mean? Never heard of customer service? Apparently neither have any of the people who actually work in customer service. I don't like being told "There's nothing I can do," when the shipping company I shipped a very expensive item with (roughly $100,000) lost the package. There better be something you can do, or I'm going to crawl through the phone and slap you around until you find someone else who can do something about it. Morons.

Wood Paneling - I found out why the idiots who owned our house previously decided to hang cheap wood paneling on one wall of the laundry room. Could it be that someone punched a huge hole in the wall? Maybe? Oh, yeah! They must have forgotten to tell us that there's a huge hole in the laundry room wall. Something else to add to the list of things that need to be fixed.

Bills - Bills suck. (No dear, I'm not talking about your Buffalo Bills. I'm talking about the ones that take our money away.)

eBay - Damn the stupid person who came in at the last second and outbid me on a new cell phone for BSC. I'll get you next time Gadget, I'll get you next time!

Halloween Candy - Ohhhh the pain! Sweet sweet pain.

K. Halloween! I had a hard enough time asking for candy by the time I hit 6th grade. So teenagers...get a job and buy your own damn candy!

customer service! NEVER helpful, but wth were you doing with something worth $100,000?!

toothaches? enjoy them. I'm going to find my leftovers right now.

The expensive item/items that I shipped did not belong to me. If I owned those items, I would not be working!! I shipped them for work. I think I hear the sound of an insurance claim the making.

i am soooo sorry. doesn't it feel great to rant? i mean, yes, it sucks to have rantables, but now we get to BROADCAST them. hooray for the internet.

on another happy note. last second bidders are called snipers. fitting, eh?

Lori, I'm sorry, but I'm a sniper!
It's the only way to go!
If you can't beat em, join em!

oh, you HAVE to snipe... i never said i wasn't a sniper.. i was simply pointing out the name (wink). you wait, waaiiit, waaaiiiit till the last, say 13 seconds, then bid some arbitrary amount so that anyone else trying to outbid you can't guess it. like, if you want to spend a max of $40.00... come in with barely over ten seconds to go and bid like $41.87. works almost every time.
