Geek rant: I HATE summary repostings in RSS feeds. Example, Antimusic.com, a great daily news site for all things tunage. Every weekend they basically repost everything in their RSS feed from the previous week with the lead text in the story "a top article from this past week." I have an RSS feed that *gasp* already does this so I end up having to troll through posts again to find the news stories. If you do this to blatantly try to create additional traffic to your site, you deserve a beatdown.

If you're the decision maker that screws up a house demolition based on incorrect GPS coordinates you deserve to have your nuts crushed. Yep, I'm threatening the jewels here, because this is unforgivable. Lawyers are going to have a heyday with this one.

Today we have another example of half-assing something and not following through. In my townhouse development we've got maintenance on the grounds. Every spring a the company taking care of the grass comes in and treats it with various chemicals, and then because these chemicals might harm kids, pets or drunk relatives passed out face-first in the lawn, they put these little signs up every 20 feet warning you to stay off the grass since they have been, and I quote, "recently treated." That's all fine and dandy, except that:

• They don't say when the signs were put up
• They don't say how long we're supposed to stay off the lawn
• The morons never come and remove the signs!

So, for the past 10 days these signs have been out saying "my God, you could die if you touch the lawn because sometime in the recent past for an undefined amount of time you should stay off the grass, but it could be today because we forgot to come remove our signs. That's okay, because they will probably litter the neighborhood anyway..." *Sigh*, can I get a dirty look for the lawn people please? Also perhaps a swift kick in the skull?

Perhaps this is being a bit harsh, but nothing is less useful than someone who posts to a support forum "I'm going to try this and then I'll post back my results" and they never come back. I don't know how many times I've found a problem that someone may have resolved but it was left dangling. I've got a dangling fury beatdown coming right at ya.

A tidbit sent to me through thar interwebs from J Q:

It doesn't rain much where I live, but when it does rain it comes down in buckets. As a result most folks are caught without umbrellas, forced to scramble from covered-sidewalk to covered-sidewalk lest they get drenched. Now enter those inconderate idiots who are lucky enough to have an umbrella... and then proceed to walk with it fully open even under a covered sidewalk, forcing everyone else to deviate around them into the rain. Honestly, these a-holes deserve to have the 381 bus hit a huge puddle right beside them. Let's see your umbrella keep you dry now, jerk. Seriously if you have your own personal roof you should show a little consideration.

"As a matter of fact, I do own the whole parking lot."

Yeah, that's what they seemed like. I roam outside of the grocery store deli at lunchtime and there they are, a couple of people side by side in their automobiles talking about whatever. Driver side door to drivers side door, laughing and cavorting on about nothing important, not realizing one car was waiting behind one of them and a parked car was trying to get out beside the other. Utterly inconsiderate and arrogant, these people need to have their cars confiscated and run through a giant blender, along with some "wake the hell up" slaps applied to their faces.

Somebody needs to find Jack and kick his lily white behind...

If you get up to use the crapper while the plane is taxiing into the gate causing the pilot to stop the plane on the tarmac for 15 minutes while we all wait impatiently for you finish your business, you deserve to be water boarded with that blue toilet sludge and then thrown out of the plane at 36,000 feet so we don’t have to deal with your damn stupidity any longer!

Unbelievable, this lady gets up and spends seriously like 10 – 15 minutes in the bathroom while we all sit around and wait. The stewardesses were knocking on the door talking to her. The pilot announced that we could continue the remaining 200 yards to the gate as soon as everyone was in their seat. Really?? How dumb can you be?

It's not a "powerpoint projector" you ignorant stick. It's a digital projector that can show anything that's on the attached PC. In calling it that I'm sure you're giving me an early indicator that the upcoming presentation is going to be filled with dense boring text and you'll be reading it to me rather than presenting your information in any engaging way. I'd like to poke your eyes out.

If you rob a cop at a police convention, you deserve everything you get after that. Proof that stupidity and crime seem to frolic wistfully together.

There's nothing quite a nice as getting arrested for choking your wife while wearing an "I ♥ My Marriage" t-shirt. Nice going there buddy, let's hope someone is wearing an "I ♣ Stupid Morons" when he gets his just deserves.

In retrospect, this AIG ad makes me want to go back in time and kick the ass of the marketing department.

If you do the nasty with a car wash vacuum cleaner, you deserve to be locked in a tiny box and shipped off to Paraguay.

If you Twitter negative things about a job offer you get before you accept it and thus lose the job offer, you deserve a whack upside the head. Ditto if you post about it on Facebook, MySpace, etc.

Not my picture, but both mother and child deserve a swift kick in the ass:
