I hope this pile of s*** works better on Macs ''cause on Windows it just plain sucks.

And while we''re at it ... until Apple dumps DRM we should all be buying our music from Amazon. Better quality, priced the same and NO STUPID DRM!

You know what really grinds my gears? When people nearly run you down at the GA square mall to get into the closest available parking space. Also, when they park in the expectant mother space and a man gets out with no lady with him. B#$t@%!

I work at the mall and people are so rude, even during the holidays.

Why?
It''s lame, obviously shameless, and not interesting.
Why not take a picture of your band and post it on overseeninathens or something...
Posting on here was just dumb

American Cheeseburger shamelessly promotes themselves for free on Athens Vent.

I''m mad that no one''s been mad for more than a week. What am I supposed to do at work?

Got a speeding ticket today. 19 over (EVERYONE speeds through there)
$210.

steep? Hell yes.
apparently Officers must write tickets for infractions of 15mph over the limit (it was 55, I was apparently going 74- its easy for your car to get away from you there, long single lane roads)

I may have been in the wrong, but I am livid, and cannot afford this.
(go ahead with the ''you shouldn''t have been speeding advice, it will almost fall on deaf ears. I was driving maybe 5mph faster than other drivers. I realize the stupidity, I''m just pissed, especially since I''ve been pulled over there before for DRIVING TOO SLOW, and accused of drug use, which of course was totally unfounded.)

I HATE middle Georgia!

I said, "Excuse me." I had to get off at that floor. You* stared, and did not move.

I thought maybe you had not heard me. I repeated myself, hoping this time you would kindly move out of the way.

You did not.

So don''t look surprised and outrageously offended when I have to physically PUSH YOU out of the way to get off the elevator and to my class. Stop being an idiot.

*You refers to anyone that does this, as it has happened to me more than once.

You* ask me for help. You KEEP asking me for help. But you ignore everything I say.

If you just wanted to complain about a problem, that''s cool. We all need to vent sometimes (hence this site) but you ask for HELP. That implies that you actually want me to provide some input on how to solve the problem. So why do you talk over my suggestions?

On the flip side, why can''t I get an answer to the question I asked? At best I get a response vaguely related to the topic but doesn''t address the question. At worst I''m completely ignored.

Is it me? Should I give up on communicating with people altogether?

*You refers to more than one person.

I HATE Uggs! Why don''t you just slip your feet into a couple of dog turds! They would look better!

It sounds to me like all the driving complaints are really because of people who are wrapped up in their own world even when they drive.

1. Driving the speed limit is courteous. I often drive over the limit, but I can''t ask anyone else to do that. However, going the limit, especially on Georgia''s windy two-lane roads, is the least you can do for the many other drivers who have places to be lining up behind you.

2. If you are going under the limit, use the right lane. It doesn''t make any sense to have the fast drivers snaking around you, or driving in the right lane where slower drivers are entering the road. If you''re not passing anyone or making a left turn within like half a mile, get in the right lane.

3. A corollary to (2) is don''t pace people. That means if you are passing, don''t take 20 miles to do it. Speed up a little for the pass instead of blocking both lanes. If you''re not passing someone, um, why are you driving the same speed right next to them? You''re frustrating everyone behind you and increasing the chances of an accident (by increasing vehicle density).

4. Why do Georgia drivers speed up WHEN someone is passing them? I can''t count the number of times I''ve been riding someone''s a** going 58 only to have to get up to 75 to finally get past them because they speed up when they see me passing. If anything, slow down to let the guy by.

5. If you''re about to miss your turn, STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THROWING ON YOUR TURN SIGNAL IS NOT AN OPTION. Go to the next turn around point (it''s not far, trust me). Again, something I''ve only seen in Georgia.

6. Right of way: learn the rules.

I can say this for GA drivers: when they''re bad, they''re not mean or aggressive. Basically, they''re clueless.
