Don't you just hate it when you're trying to do something for fun or trying to get a point across here on the forums...and somebody ruins the whole thing because you forgot to capitalize the word "I" or a few spelling and grammar errors. Hello? Get it together. Focus on the topic and just ignore those errors. I mean, I'm a little bit of a grammar freak myself, but only on documents that are actually considered important (eg essays, reports, etc.). The one time I post a thread, somebody has to go and complain about the spelling and grammar. A little off my original topic, but the second time I posted a thread, someone complained about it being a game and how the quiz could easily be answered using the internet. Uh, of course you can cheat using the internet to find the answers. Google was designed to find the answers for you. I also posted a thread about me looking for others to give me ideas for a fanfiction. What happened? Somebody complained that the ideas being given to me didn't work well together because they were in different universes. COME ON!!! That's the whole reason why it's called fan"fiction".

I apologize if anyone got tired of reading my rant after the first couple of lines, I just hate it when people point out and critisize small, insignificant flaws and then start making assumptions about people. If you've gotten this far, then I thank you for reading my rant, but please don't turn into one of the people described above.

(And to the one who told me to punctuate and paragraph: Is this good enough for you?

If you don't want to read it, then don't read it.

 

This is exactly what my rant was about.

 

It's all I was trying to say.

 

If you don't read it, you have no opinion. That's my philosophy.

 

By the way, how's this?

 

This is the main reason I don't join forums as often as others.

 

People are just way too picky about the smallest things.

 

Then they complain about the extremely insignificant things they don't like.

 

You'll be reading the EXACT...SAME...THING...even if I do space it out.

One of the most important rules in forums (and everywhere else) is not to take yourself too seriously. Really now, if you are just too pissed off to stop fighting back, you can just exist this forum.

 

As for the others being jabroniy with you, it is normal, as 1 Stars rarely get attention and are considered spammers if they join contests and trolls is they post long posts. Yeah I know that's a stereotype but everyone had to endure that some time, even the 2000+ posters...

 

What should you do right now? That's easy, just agree with people, make cards, post mostly in the custom card section, maybe in the TGC if you really are informed. Being likeable stands in your ability to "appear" to like others, even if you don't do it.

 

Take notice of those advices.

lol no

Do it DoP style.

Try to get your point across.

Unfortunately, warnings and bans exist.

What the poster on top said was true, you will get hurt if you don't agree or aren't a noob. What the poster above also implies is to shut up and go make people who are well known, some sandwiches.

 

Life sucks. :/

Yeah, dweller, you're one of those guys I was talking about in my post. Sooooo....(dang, i play too much xbox live, can't find the ignore feature).....whatever. I really don't care anymore. I'll keep doing whatever the heck I want (following the rules so I don't get banned) and you can keep on keepin' on (with whatever).

Learn to use the Enter Button so everything won't look like an ugly wall of text.

It discourages me to read any further.

*Agree*

@Falkon: I read like' date=' the first ten words, and it sounds like your asking a question, so this should belong in Polls.

If you don't want to read it, then don't read it.

Tell you what, which is easier to read:

[spoiler=#1]

I got to Fort Lauderdale this past Saturday, 3 hours prior to my flight, and the baggage belt was down, so I had to take them back outside and give them to the guy out there. This was fine. However, when I got back to my gate it was announced that the flight was delayed, which would cause me to miss my connection from Charlotte to Columbus. I went up and talked to the lady at the counter and she said that she could get me on a Delta flight that was straight through and to go ahead over to ther terminal. So I left the U.S. terminal, went outside in the rain to the Delta building and he said the woman had not booked anything for me. I had to walk back through the rain yet again to the U.S. counter where I waited over an hour to get my ticket booked from the lady. I asked her to get my bags transfered to that flight and she told me she could not, just to travel without them and file a claim in Columbus. This would have been fine other than all my prescriptions were in my suitcase. After I refused to leave the counter she said they were extremely short staffed and that it was an invonvience, but called a man in baggage and he said he would look for them. I waited about a half an hour and the man came up and said that my bags were put on an earlier flight to Charlotte and then to Columbus, so they would be waiting for me. I thought this was a little weird that they were put on an earlier flight, when they delay was not yet known at that point. I went and got on my Delta flight, which was fine and when I got into Columbus, my luggage was no where to be found. I got in the line at the baggage office, and waited over two hours to get inside. That should not be happening. My wife parked in short term parking and was charged an extra $8 due to U.S. Airways being short staffed. When I finally got into the baggage room the lady didn't greet me, nor aknowlege me. I told her my bags were supposed to be there and she said "Aren't they all" and asked for my tickets. Low and behold, my bags were not there, and she could not tell me where my bags were. She told me not to file a claim, but to go to Delta and file a claim with them since I ended up on thier flight. I told her that made no sense because my bags were not on that flight. Finally she helped me file a claim and I asked if the bags could be delivered since I live an hour from the airport. She said they try not to deliver outside of the Columbus outterbelt. I told her I was not able to drive back in and that I was not going to sit there all day waiting for my bags and she finally said they would be able to deliver them if they were to show up. I went home and called back about 7pm to ask if she had heard anything and she said no. I asked her what I was supposed to do as all my of medication was in my bags and I needed to take two of them that evening. She told me that all she could reccomend was for me to go to the urgent care and see if they would give me a prescription for a few days supply. I went to the urgent care, and they did give me a 5 day prescription, but when I got to the drug store I learned that since I just had them filled before my trip, that my insurance company would not pay for them. I had to pay cash for both of them. One of them was $8, but the second was $84. This is rediculous. When I got home, I found both my bags on the front porch for anyone to just come along and take. I went back to the pharmacy, but they cannot take drugs back once they have left the store. When I got back, I started unpacking, and when I opened my first back there were blue rubber gloves on top of my clothes. Everything in my suitcase was moved around. I had coral in my bag from scuba diving, which I had wrapped in newspaper to keep from getting sand on my clothes, and none of the paper was on them anymore. They were thrown all about in my suitcase, many pieces had been broken or crushed. However, this is still not what made me irate. When I got to the bottom of my suitcase, I found that somehow my statue I just bought in Fort Lauderdale had been broken into 3 pieces. One lense in my glasses was cracked, with a piece of coral sitting on top of it, and my mirror was shattered. I called the baggage area at Columbus and I believe it was the same woman I talked to origianlly, and she said that glasses, precious stones (since when has coral been a precious stone?), and toiletries are not covered if damaged. Not only did you take an entire day away from me on the way down to Fort Lauderdale, which caused me to miss my first scuba expidition, but you managed to make me not want to fly again. I have never been hasseled so much by an airline, nor had my things broken. This whole trip was a disaster because of your airline neglecting to follow thier flight schedules, rudeness towards customers, and thier laziness. I expect something to be done about this. I did not book a trip expecting to have my souvenirs broken or having to buy new lenses for my glasses or pay for my medications. A prompt response would be appreciated.
