Got a rant? Share it here. Here's mine:
-New neighbor in the apartment downstairs who apparently can't get the energy to take her plastic sack of garbage from her front door to the dumpster. It was there three days along with a box of other trash. I took the bag down myself last night hoping she'd get the message. Box still there today.

13 year old who thinks the world revolves around her and she deserves everything and gets nothing when she has more than MOST. ARG!

Rant:
People who misspell words, or get similar words confused (such as
it's and
its,
affect and
effect, etc.). We all graduated high school, did we not?
I posted on this a month ago on my blog:

This is an online forum of random fast thoughts (dare I insert passionate "knee-jerk responses") and not an article written for a newspaper, book, or college term paper.
Don't frighten those whom may not be comfortable with correct grammar usage from joining in the discussion. I would rather read a grammar challenged passionate response rather than empty calculated grammar correct blowhard.
These discussions are not graded. Post Away!

Shoot, I should have ranted about your existence on this forum.
Spelling errors are easy to correct, neoconservatism is not.
Regarding spelling, it's quite easy to learn common differences between words similarly spelled, and the English language isn't tough to master. That's in any setting, not just a public forum.

This is the exact reason why I keep harping about the Government. This is just ridiculous. Let me tell you prices on everything will go up because of this. You won't be able to buy a tank of gas or the week's groceries without the government knowing about it. They are collecting information on all of us, all the time, and it is not right I don't care what reason they give.

When my DvR records a show on a regular channel that I had previously set to record in HiDef. Usually happens if the box gets reset or power cycled.
Those who are judgemental/critical of others.
The Seattle Mariners Scouting staff. We bring in players, give them a ton of cash and they dont produce. Richie Sexson is a great example.

People know when I've been in the room at a supervisors presentation because all the simple spelling errors have been corrected in red ink.
I once returned a commendation from the Plant Supervisor.
He was congratulating us for fighting a fire in it's "insipient stages".
I pointed out -with proper definitions supplied- while the fire was probably caused by lack of wisdom, he probably meant to say "incipient".
Right now I'm gritting my teeth over constantly cycling Computer "Work cleanliness" message which asks for "everything to be in there place".
