What do you want to rant about today? #3

[getthefrockout69]

So i seen on tik tok a women making a feminine emergency pack for her daughter for school painkillers pads hand gels body sprays the usual bits us ladys need. It make me think back to when all that started with me as a 13 year old and how my own mother made me feel dirty about it and how she screamed at me in the middle of the street as i need more pads and how she used to tell everyone that oooo shes on her period she needs to change her pad she stinks i didnt i know i didnt. The other thing was my older sister wasnt treated like this i dont get why i was for i was and still am a very clean person at that time of the month and in general its been 22 years and i still can get my head around the way she treated and behaved towards me

Sorry its more of a offload and not a rant

Cancer can fuck off.

My Nan has been diagnosed with breast cancer today. We now have to wait three weeks for the biopsy results to come back to see how advanced it is and if/how they can treat it.

My Nan raised me. I lived with her from birth until the day I moved out.
I’m so scared and upset. I just don’t want my Nan to die

My mum has been in and out of hospital this year with a heart condition that was misdiagnosed. On Tuesday she suffered a stroke and was on her kitchen floor for 3 hours before the fire brigade kicked the door down. I saw her CT scan today and its not great. She's a beautiful artist and i'm not sure if she'll ever have the dexterity to paint again. She's been through so much in her life (widowed at 50) and has always been strong, kind and just doesn't bloody deserve any of this. I see so many people abusing their bodies - she's always been 'good' - followed the rules etc. And there's no reward for it. Why can't she just be allowed to live her quiet, happy life - pottering around and seeing her grandchildren.

Would anyone else just not write their rant on this thread cos their too scared of getting in a pointless argument about the stupid thing they wanna rant about or just me

A local pub of mine has been running ladies night every Monday for 12 years. Anyone can go but as a woman you get your meal for 50% off.

One man, ONE, has complained so it is now cancelled and that is it. A great community thing which has been so so popular is over because of one pathetic man.

Does anyone else feel really overstimulated, and then somehow super understimulated as a result? Everything in life atm feels dull repetitive and underwhelming. Weirdly I feel like social media is to blame in a way.

Society has become so hedonistic, over filled faces and plastic surgery in general becoming so normalised, fancy tiktok hyped restaurants with super decadent food and overly curated fancy decor, fashion trend cycles that move so insanely fast! Every feels so commercialised and fake nowadays. And everyone has such high expectations. Even dating, having kids, it’s all about showing off somehow. Just fake performative bullshit. The people I know in real life, it’s all like one big competition. And everyone seems depressed and unsatisfied with their lives.

I just feel like I’m trapped in a simulation somehow. Like I’m watching my life happen to me. My job is blah, my love life has been a series of meaningless ‘failures to launch’, I’ve never felt more hideous and unattractive and nothing seems to help. I travel, get to these beautiful hyped up locations and think ‘oh … is that it’. It’s like I’m waiting for a tiktok sound bite to play, ‘can we skip to the good part TRAAALAAALAALAAAH!’ but it never does. I buy the hyped up make up products and the cute outfits but I never feel good or worthy.

I’m not sure if I’m just depressed or if the superficial strains of modern living are to blame? But I feel miserable and frustrated and honestly wish I’d been born 30 years earlier so I could’ve been a young woman outside of this current era. I can’t live up the expectations and i feel like I can’t enjoy life.

Fireworks. My youngest cat is petrified, he’s trembling and stuck to me like glue. I don’t think he could be planted harder into my chest, with his head nuzzled in my neck. The other two cats seem oblivious.

I am so sad for him, he’s only 1, and had such a tough start in life. We rescued him last December from Crete, he was found trying to run across a busy road and was a little scrap of a thing.

My little baby boy!

Stood waiting for a lift, pushed the button, obviously, and some bloke came up, pushed every button angrily and stood infront of me. In bloody front of me. Rude wankstain. As soon as those doors open I charged forward and got in. There wasn't enough space for him too. I had to go all the way to the top, so just the thought of him stood there fuming it was taking so long tickled me. I pushed every button as I got out so it took even longer to get back to him
Added to the petty thread too

 

[mee43]

It’s not so much that I’m chasing them for a night out. I think I’m just far too polite sometimes. I know they won’t be bothered if I don’t go, yet I feel rude cancelling….However - ive taken all the comments on board and I’ve just messaged to say I can’t make it. Staying in with the OH and a bottle of wine instead

So this is more of something that might give you all a giggle. I ordered some scales as I've not weighed myself in years. I know I've put on some weight as I stopped going to the gym with covid and this last year I've been very unmotivated.
Anyway got the scales today, very excited to get home and weight myself.
Weighed myself and immediately repacked it for a return I was so shocked at how much I weigh it's going straight back. Honestly would rather not know

 

[Rockin' Robin]

This thread, is the unpopular opinion thread in disguise!

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

That’s why is kind of pathetic trying to
Chase them for a night out.

sometimes no response IS the response. Take the hint.

Don't be so harsh on @mee43 ... not everyone finds it easy to just tell others to fuck off. It took me a while to jettison the the ones I didn't like. I probably spent a lot time in my 20's and 30's with people I didn't actually like very much or made me feel uncomfortable. Now I'm 55 and I have a small but lovely group of friends whose company I enjoy very much. We only see each other every couple of months but it's definitely quality over quantity when it comes to friends.

 

[Thank(space)you]

When cars deliberately splash you when you're walking I know it was deliberate as I've bene doing the school run for 2 years and never been splashed by that puddle before. My poor daughter was with me so she got soaked too, it was up to my thigh but she used her umbrella to protect her top half. I've asked school to change her (she has spare clothes in her bag) but we were running late so now I don't have time to get changed (I'm at work) so gotta spend my day in wet clothes



I'm just posting for a rant - please don't make this into a whole debate/discussion

 

[emmer_moans]

If the news of an abject stranger having cancer is having this kind of effect on you, you need to seek help for that. It’s not normal to have that kind of over reaction to something like that.

I don't react that bad. What I was ranting about was the way media overreports on intimate details of celebs'decline when we really should not be privvy to so much information. It's OVER done. Tbh my rant now is that you can't say such things without some saying "don't read" or "get help". If only it were that simple.

What's the point of a rant thread if posters get told to get help by blunt posters for simply expressing a rant about something.

Got to vent! We’ve been out for Sunday lunch at an upmarket restaurant venue that is quite ‘grown up’ food-wise. Booked well in advance, we were shown to a table that had a couple of under 2s and their parents on one side, and soon after, a table of 4 adults and 4 young children were seated. Unexpected, but hey ho. The following 2 hours were torture - the under twos screamed throughout, hurled cutlery and baby cups our way, and spread their food all over the bright white starched linen. The 4 youngsters fought over 2 iPads which they used at full volume. They and their parents complained loudly at the lack of a ‘fish finger and chips’ menu for their kids, and when the
Smaller portions of absolutely delicious food were served, wailed, the kids at everything with their hands (a Sunday Lunch!) threw the food around- really badly behaved. We asked to be moved but they were booked solid. We paid over £90 for our lunch. I honestly would never have dreamed of taking my son somewhere like that before he could be trusted to behave. How can this be pleasurable for parents? Why cat they see that the ‘cheeky’ behaviour of their offspring grates on others? Our server took the drinks off our bill as she said it was ‘busy and loud today’. For heavens sake, it was meant to be a treat ….

I'm not worried but I can understand that some people just want to rant and leave it at that. No one ever said a rant had to be fair all around. just that you feel the need to rant, not have a discussion or argument every time you want to let off steam

 

[Deeznutslol]

Anti abortion campaigners outside my local hospital I was so tempted to run the fuckers over !
One had a sign that read ‘you don’t need to kill your baby, you just need to pray’

Anti abortion campaigners have to be the most cringe people on the planet tbh. Millions of children across the world are suffering in poverty or living in war zones, yet they could not give a single fuck about any of them.

i am continually gobsmacked by the amount of teens and young girls who walk round looking like hookers for want of a better term especially I hate to add the travveling community. The next minute they are up in arms about sexual harrassment/assault etc and going on claim the night marches etc. I am not by any means saying you have to go round in a chin to ankle sack but be reasonable.. Men are visually oriented pigs unfortunately - they will look and they will act

Women in burqas and hijabs get harrassed and assaulted too, what's the justifiable excuse for their circumstances according to your pov? Men's violence has nothing to do with how women look and a lot to do with exercising power on victims. Let's not start saying "she had it coming" because someone was wearing revealing clothing. Nothing justifies harassment, wtf.

My father in law had a party last Friday night. One of the family members is a “photographer”. He’s put some beautiful photos of the family on Facebook today and then he’s put 2 up of me eating a pork sandwich that I had no idea he was taking. I look absolutely dreadful in them both he’s obviously done it to be spiteful they’re Awful. I’ve never said or done a thing wrong to them… I’m absolutely gutted. my husband can’t see why I’m upset (luckily my daughters can and are disgusted and have told him ). Bloody families!!

I’ve just witnessed some woman out her face on god knows what pulling her wee dog along the street while there’s fireworks going off and the wee thing is clearly terrified it fucking sickens me that people like that are allowed to keep animals
