Excuse me!
It is not okay to throw your f***ing trash out of your car window. Please carry it back to your trailer and put it IN THE TRASH CAN! Just because your parents did nothing to educate you about how society works the rest of us should not have to pay for that. Maintain your own trash heap however you want, but our neighborhood streets are not yours to f*** up.

Updated AthensVent
On the advice of my brother the Vent has been expanded. This should make you guys running your monitors at 10000 X 10000 very happy.
Look for more improvements to come, but for now the biggest change is the addition of CakePHP. Cake should make it easier to both maintain and update the site in the future so please come back often and as always ''Let Us Know'' if you have suggestions.

Clothing
I don''t know why folks here think I wear collared shirts and backwards hats. I like t-shirts because high collars bother my neck. I also don''t even like to wear hats because I think they''ll make me go bald. I do wear baseball hats when I play church softball, though.

Slow Medical Billing
To Doctors, Clinics, and Hospitals:
DO NOT wait 2, 3, 6 months to send me a bill and then whine about how my account is overdue. No, actually, this isn't a 'reminder'. You can't remind someone of something you haven't told them yet! You certainly can't expect to charge interest on a debt you haven't told anyone about.
I do not care how long you decided to wait to get to my account or fart around with the insurance company. That makes YOU late not ME. Sticking passive-aggressive stickers on the bill is neither cute nor professional.

08/08/2008 - This kind of reminds me of when I watched my neighbor masturbate on my dog. I waited 2 or 3 months to say something to him about it. He got to gay third base with me afterward.08/10/2008 - To the above poster, You're an idiot and this 'joke' you've got going isn't even plausible, nor funny08/10/2008 - Ry thought we had something special, arf. Ru arrrfn\'t allowed to tickle meh belly anymores. Arf!08/11/2008 - They're trying to make you pay for their inefficiency/laziness. The policy is to do it that way because only a fraction of people will complain. You'll just have to bitch up a storm and keep going up the ladder. They're hoping it will be such a bother that you'll just pay.
And yes, the first poster is a homophobic douche who thinks masturbating on dogs and getting to whatever 'gay third base' is is funny. Let's just be glad he's too busy turning his hat backward and popping the collar on his striped polo shirt to post here more often.
08/12/2008 - If y''all don''t know what gay third base is by now, you''ll never know, but trust me, it''s pretty nice. I''m sorry I started such a stir with my ''vent" about my dog and neighbor problem. I don''t know why y''all think I wear backward hats and collared shirts. I should vent about that.08/04/2008

D-bag undergrads
It is becoming hard to count how many 19 year-olds in SUVs I've been behind in the last couple weeks driving 15mph under the limit, peering over their steering wheel, stopping randomly in the middle of the road or making right turns from the left lane.
If you don't know where you're going, buy a map.
If you have a map, pull over to the side of the road and consult it.
If you see your turn and you're not in a position to make it, keep driving until the next convenient turn-around point and circle back.
Be semi-aware of your surroundings (those objects/individuals orbiting around the center of the universe which is you).

08/04/2008 - I concur, however I would ammend this, and also go after old people and anyone from out of town, Docotor\'s wives (on their cell phone, too important to follow the rules), and I\'m probably missing a few others too.07/19/2008

Retail Lady
You said you didn't have change.
I check my wallet and see I don't have much cash either. I need cash back so I start to leave your lane (I even said out loud I don't have enough cash) when you ask if I'm paying with credit/debit. I say yes and you say, "I can take you here. I didn't want you paying with cash because I don't have any change."
So at this point I'm thinking you meant you didn't have any COIN change not zero cash period. So imagine my surprise when you throw your hand up in the air after I select the option of cash back.
You're pissed so I tell you to forget about the cash back and apologize twice claiming I'm the one who had a brain fart. You ignore my apologies, open your drawer, AND PULL OUT THE CASH!
If I'm paying with a card, what did you think I meant when I said I don't have enough cash on me? And even if you didn't hear me you did have money in your drawer so why pitch a fit?
I hope that $1 you short changed me made you feel better.

07/19/2008 - Please tell us the name of the store. It was Wal-Mart wasn't it? All Wal-Mart cashiers are all in bad moods. It's a good thing their prices are so cheap because their service/cashiers straight up suck.07/22/2008 - On the one hand, she may not have had enough cash to start taking cash customers, but could take a quick card customer (or something like that). On the other hand, it clearly wasn't the end of the world so probably not worth copping an attitude over.07/23/2008 - Actually, it wasn't Wal-Mart. In fact, I've only ever had good experiences with this store before this.07/31/2008 - I wish my neighbor would quit masturbating on my dog.07/17/2008

Jesse Jackson Sucks
So it is being reported that Jesse Jackson used the N word last week when he was making "off air" comments about Obama. He is such a hypocrite. He is just pissed that he won't be the 1st black president.
07/17/2008 - He also said something about cutting Obama's nuts out...
I heard Neal Bortz call him a "race whore" one time. I think it fits.

Grey Truck on Hooper St. with small trailer
I can only hope that eventually one of the buses actually hits and tears off the trailer attached to your truck.
If you read this feel free to explain why it makes sense to not only park a large truck on a narrow street but to also leave a trailer attached to the back. For bonus points you also park near the sign in the middle of the street, guaranteeing that the buses have to come to a complete stop to make sure they don't hit you.

Dear Dirty South... are you really this ignorant? Do you really have to come into my place of work and tell me you feel sorry for me for knowing muslims? Does the restaurant I work at have to pay me 2.14 an hour and use plastic silver ware for the customers? Does everyone here just eat poop and go along with it? This place is not progressive, but drunk and clueless. Yeah its true. You think your hood? Your projects have swimming pools and bball courts. You think you are radical? Then why do all the radical kids look and smell the same... and do the same things. Tight pants, Tight pockets.
07/07/2008 - Aw, we're not all bad.07/07/2008 - We're definitely not all that bad. The pay for wait staff is ridiculously low, which is one of my major problems. But only a few places are different. Like Oregon and I think New York. So that's definitely not just a southern thing. I want to know what place isn't drunk. I don't mind clueless so much, because then there is hope.07/07/2008 - I don't get this post exactly...07/08/2008 - Dear douche, I'm sorry your job sucks, you should probably get a new one. You think you're insightful? You just pick an adjective and then describe a random unrelated stereotype. Yeah, it's true. Also, your grammar sucks.
Love,
a resident of the Dirty South
07/08/2008 - Dirty ... dirty ... you know we do it ...07/08/2008 - Vents are more effective when they're not a stream of consciousness.07/08/2008 - I am surprised people care about a post. Just let people vent.07/08/2008 - Cheers to the above post. All the comments above show that the people are taking offense to the truth.07/08/2008 - But I don't get it!07/10/2008 - Should we be surprised the fourth commentor on 7/8 cares about the comments?
To the fifth commentor on 7/8: The only truth here is that certain people don't understand how the Internet works. If you post something at a web site that allows comments then people are going to comment. You invite ridicule if you decide to label everyone in an entire region ignorant in a post containing grammatical errors.
Had the OP directed this at the idiot who made the comment about Muslims instead of millions of people they've never met then they'd have gotten some sympathy instead.
I was so shocked I didn''t think fast enough, but now I know-
Next time I see that crap I''m taking down their license plate number and calling the cops.
