I needed a place to rant. SO I am ranting - Cingular SUCKS! If you ever have to call customer service for ANYTHING - you might as well put a bullet in your brain pan. It will be less painful, less messy and more constructive.

Rant over.

Feel free to vent, rant or generally cleanse you spleen here.

Yay! A rant thread!

Since it's Monday, I feel the need to rant about work. I hate my job. I mean really hate it. It's strange, I didn't use to. But in the last month or so, I've taken a real dislike to it. Fortunately, I'm only here for another month or so, and then I switch schools (I have a work-study job). Whatever job I get next, it'll definitely be something without phones. For some reason, I can't stand talking to people over the phone. It probably has to do with the inane questions they keep asking. Is there some type of job out there where I don't have to socialize with anyone?

*whew*
Okay, rant over.

Get another doctor, Chrisisall.

Really. If you don't think your doctor is doing a good job, find another. Ask around from your friends and co-workers about their doctors. Things to look for, how they're treated by not only the doctor, but by the office staff, does the doctor take their complaints seriously and check them out throughly.

If you have an HMO, you can change your primary care physician. Call them. Don't let them tell you you can't. They're full of it and just don't want to deal with the paperwork. If they really give you a hard time, check to see what state agency you can report them to....and tell them you are going to do so. And, if you have local public forum 'I'm getting screwed' things on your local TV station, contact them as well. Your HMO won't want the negative publicity.

Your health care is suppose to take care of you, not pat you on the head and tell you to go away.

I am soooo fed up of my students! Not all of them, just a group that are completely uncontrollable and have absolutely no respect and disrupt every class, making me miserable and annoying the kids there who actually want to learn. I've tried everything! But they're on their summer holidays (as far as they're concerned) and are leaving at the end of the week and their group leader doesn't care about disciplining them so they just run wild without any thought to the consequences and I am so mad at them I'm just days away from fantasising about kicking them into Serenity's engine like that tattooed bad guy in The Train Job. Seriously.

Oooh. Good to get that off my chest. I'm spoiled. That's the problem. I'm used to teaching adults who really want to learn. These kids are soooo frustrating it's unreal.

Fortunately they only thing I got was the paint from her car. (Yea, Saturns!) We both opted not to call the police (I can get the paint off and her ins won't cover broad colission.)

Ohhhhhh. Another Cingular hater! They suck so bad. When I signed up originally they wouldn't tell me what the final cost of my bill would be for the month after taxes and hidden charges, but they gave me a ballpark figure and when I got my first bill it was $6.00/mo more than they told me. I was unemployed most of the time I had the phone and I slept during the day and was usually out at night, but somehow one month they claimed I went over on my minutes enough to raise my $47.00/mo bill to $175.00+. I argued that with them for a few months and finally I stopped even calling them. They just kept telling me that if I didn't like their service that I could just pay the $250.00 cancellation fee. I told them to go to hell and they wouldn't get a dime out of me and I never used the phone again.

Well.... the bills kept pileing up and 4 months later I owed them over $400.00 between the first rediculous bill, late fees, and 4 months of service that I never even used once. They claimed that I never cancelled the phone and just because I didn't use it didn't mean that they couldn't charge me for it. They finally cancelled the service and sent me a bill for something like $685.00 with the cancellation fee. I told them they could stick it up their gorram arses.

That's when the bastards sicked their collection agency on me that would call every day saying that I owed the $685 + another $125 for their agency's fee. They also claimed that they were going to ruin my stellar credit record (My score was 765 at the time). When I told them I couldn't pay he said that the computer showed that I had 5 credit cards and access to over $20,000. Finally I settled with them for the original $685.00 that I couldn't afford at the time just to get them off my back. I basically paid for 14 months service for nothing in the end. Lousy gorram bastards!

I hear that there is a class action lawsuit against them. I'm not doing much at the moment. I think I'll look into it. If I find out anything good I'll let you know. Maybe I can get some of that money back.

Edit: Looks like the lawsuit is only for customers of AT&T that were screwed after Cingular bought them out and degraded all of their services so they would buy a new contract. Looks like I'm SOL. Maybe it will help you though.

Arrg!! No shoulder on my road. Actually, no shoulder on any road around me! I've been riding my bike a lot lately to get around (no gas money and construcitve exercise) but non of the roads have any gorram shoulders!!! I either get to ride in the ditch and pick up ticks or in the road and hope no one hits me! Gahh!!!

I'm sure my being in the road also upsets the people in cars who have to drive around me.

See, I wouldn't be so bothered by it if I hadn't seen a dozen other people riding bikes on the same ruttin' road! Obviously there are a fair number of people biking on this road. Why has no one taken this into account? Three housing developements have been put up in my area in the last five years(grumble grumble, raised the water table, too many people, grumble grumble- another rant fo another time). They brought in many families with children and bicycles. And still no shoulder, no bike lane, no sidewalk! Come On!!!

Here's my grrrrs.

DSL that is pokey slow during the hours I can surf (basically 8-11 p.m.)

Also, stupid questions from customers on the phone. I work at a bank so I get some doseys."how long will so and so be tied up?" I want to say I have absolutely no idea because I'm not a psychic, psychotic genius that can read other peoples minds. It would get me fired though.

People that want to talk to the same customer service rep that they talked to two months ago but they have no idea who it was. 20 questions then begins and at the end they'll talk to anyone who's free.

Teenage girls that come in with skimpy shorts and nothing left to the imagination. I've even seen them make out with the boyfriend in line for a teller. Just so gross.

I was passing her as she had (1) gotten into the "right lane must turn right" lane
(2) she had slowed significantly down.

I knew she was there (and had she actually been looking at the road instead of the mall, she'd have know I was there as well)...at least when she was in her lane, but she hadn't, by her own admission, been watching where she was going.

See, all that doctor stuff. Grrr.
The only hospital in my area is crap. We deliberatly avoid them because so many folk in our family have had problems with them. Hours of waiting (in the ER no less) misdiagnosis, morons with stethascopes...
Example: (I'm paraphrasing but this actually happened to me)
"I got hit in the eye and now I can't see out of it."
"Well, we'll try this eye chart. Can you read this line?
"What line? I can't see."
"Well how about the top line. What letter is it?"
"I don't know. I can't see it. I can't see the chart. I can't see you! I. Am. Blind. In. This. Eye. That's the problem! Now pull your head out of your

you

Most folks in my family don't go to the doctor unless it just won't stop bleeding or there is debilitating pain involved.

Debilitating pain involved in my case. Been at this for two and a half years, and been through more than a dozen doctors. Still no diagnosis. Doctors keep saying they're out of tests to run, keep trying to shut me up with BS diagnoses that either do not match my symptoms, or have no differential to match in the first place, and have no course of treatment. My only choice is to research things online and then go to them and say "I want this test done, now." Don't know how much longer they'll put up with that.

So yeah, I hate doctors. Not enough energy to rant properly on the topic. I've long since screamed myself out on this one.

For the people who have ranted about Cingular, I gotsta add to it. I have almost no service whatsoever in my apartment, the only way I can make or recieve calls there is with me leaning agaist my picture window with the antenna touching the glass. One of the many reasons I am happy to be moving, so I can get a different cell phone company. They boast about having the fewest dropped calls of any network...thats only if you can make them on their network.

I will probably be back making one about U-haul next.

For fear of this becoming a chain rant on my part.

(chain rant= chain that I pull out and list every ruttin rant I have, but no one will live long enough to hear the end of the list)

I'll just list a couple small ones.

1) no toilet paper on the roll! The storage cabinet for toilet paper I could reach with my elbow while sitting there. Why is there none on the roll? I want to get up and kick some a$$. But I want to have a clean tushy first. So it's a visious circle.

2) not closing a drawer all the way once you get what you want out of it. Leaving a drawer open an inch or 2 to me is the to-pendous of lazy or sloppiness.How much more effort to give that extra little push. It blows my mind.

Anyway these are just a couple of small rants. Thread didn't say they had to be earth shattering.

Hey I'm with FMF do not use Cingular..they SUCK!!!!!!

Desktop- just a suggestion, but it works fairly well:)
Talk to somone ( adult else and ask if they have a space free in their room or whatever. Tell them you are sending a kid in to "time out") The first kid who disrupts, hand him a piece of paper and say " I am sorry you don't want to be here. Frankly, I don't want you in here either I'd rather work with people who try to learn. Get Out! Here's a paper on which you will now write a letter to your parents explaining why you are wasting your education. I am also writing one to them explaining how I feel about you preventing others from learning and how embarrassed I am to have to write and how I know they will be so embarrased by your poor choices" Point to the door and refuse to speak to or respond to anything he says. If peers attempt to back him up, say " I can write as many letters as I need to and these do go in your permanent file"
