Fuckers who make me get up at the ass crack of dawn to come into work 2 hours early (salaried, so I don't even get extra pay) to cover for the clusterfuck they manufactured. Then have me sit there for 2.5 hours before they actually need me. In a room with no internet connection. That's probably the worst part.
According to the radio lawyer commercial, even if you're salaried you may be owed overtime hours in certain circumstances.

That aside, Why do I pay insurance on my phone, when the deductible to get a replacement is more than the cost of buying a new phone and extending my plan? My screen died today, and I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy 5 on that ATT Next plan with a case and screen protector for 125, when to get a refurb of my old phone would have been 125 and I wouldn't have gotten it till wednesday.

Uh, you upgraded to a newer phone and got a case and screen protector at retail rape AT&T prices and it was the same as "refurbing" your old phone? What's the complaint? Besides isn't insurance for accidents? If your "screen died" that sounds like warranty replacement if your device was still covered.

It's outside the 1 year warranty, but still inside the 2 years till I got a phone upgrade. So why is there insurance, if it'd cost the same to get a new phone as getting a replacement of my over 1 year old phone? It doesn't make sense, is what I was trying to get across.

Some kinds of insurance are very important and some kinds are a waste of money. Such is life.

Because you extended your plan, believe me, they make up the money for the cost of the phone and then some over the course of your contract with them. You probably have local tech shops in your area that could have fixed your old phone for I'm guessing ~$80(an older phone screen probably runs $20-30 and its probably a couple hours labor @ ~$20 an hour) rather than the $600 you'll pay over the course of x years for your $400 phone. It may not be a big deal if you didn't plan on switching carriers over the next x years, but that new phone wasn't really the same price as the refurb one. But yeah, fuck phone insurance, if something actually does go wrong with it, bring it to a local repair shop in your area and they'll fix it for a fraction of what the store would charge you.

People who, at a red light, stop about 3/4ths of a car back from the car in front of them. And then spend the duration of the red light creeping forward towards the car in front of them bit by bit.

Fuck you buddy.

People that block both lanes in a parking structure to wait half an hour for someone to get their spot when you can go up another fucking floor and park somewhere else in way less time.

Pretty much anyone who will spend more time looking for a parking space near a location/entrance/whatever rather than quickly park a bit farther away and walk. Laziness knows no bounds. On Friday and Saturday nights there is one shopping center nearby that is absolutely packed, and people will spend literally 10+ minutes circling around the first 3 - 4 rows of the parking lot rather than park in the hundred or so empty spots farther back that require an extra 3 - 4 minutes of walking.

I work the night shift so when I'm leaving I have a spot on the ground floor when everyone else is arriving, sometimes people that have already passed my spot will shift into reverse and speed backwards to try and get behind me and block all the incoming traffic from getting my spot. Or they'll follow me to my spot, and then start honking when I haven't started the car within 5 seconds of entering it. One guy about 7 months ago rolled his window down after stopping and started yelling, "Come on, move the fuck out, everyone is waiting!" at me as a huge line of cars streaming into the parking structure was forming up behind him, unable to get past.

We don't have parking garages here, but normally I just park out as far as I can past everyone else and walk. Even when I was walking with a cane it wasn't worth dicking around to find a closer spot. I'm a big get ni and get out type person.

Todays jimmies rustled when I put on a pair of jeans. I haven't wore jeans in maybe 3 months while I was sick. Even with a belt they really don't fit/work. I feel like the poster kid for plumbers crack. I only 28 pounds but apparently it was all in my gut.

My office has a parking garage and I often stop by my car on my lunch break just to take things out/put things in before I walk somewhere for lunch. At least once a week someone will see me walking to my car and stalk me there, assuming I'm going to get in and leave. People have given me angry looks before speeding off when they ask "What, you're not leaving?" and I tell them "Nope."

Ahaha, I saw a wonderful thing on the D.C. metro once. This little cunt of a woman tried to immediately push her way onto the train when the doors opened, and one of the exiting guys--this pretty big, jacked black dude--literally grabbed her by her shoulders, picked her up a good foot off the floor, and put her down back out on the platform.

Along the same lines, people who don't understand you have to let people off the elevator before new people get on.

Bars that have deafening loud bands or DJs on Friday and Saturday nights. If I want to go to a place where I have to scream to be heard by the person next to me, I'll go to a fucking club. If I go to a restaurant/bar, I want to sit, drink, and talk. I don't mind some music, but it should be kept to a background noise level.

mongoloid fucking retards who spew "EARLY ACCESS" in the most retarded possible tone from the cleft fucking pallet mouths as an excuse for games being in a fucking stupid and downright unacceptable state. Fuck you you inbred blood letting fucking moron, early access does not justify a game not having the option to change the fucking key bindings.

And also the ones ( usually older ) who ride an escalator, and at the end step off and then just stand there trying to work out where they want or need to go next. Oblivious to the fact that there is a stream of people following behind on a continuously moving machine, who can't just stop or reverse ( without some extreme group co-ordination effort )

Yeah well, you really should get the fuck out of the parking spot when people are waiting. I hate when people see someone else is waiting for the spot and just sit there idle. That's the real jimmy rustler here.
