We're getting rooked - rant!!

yeah when my FJ TRD rims showed up from the dealer, the boxes had the NUMMI plant and Toyota part numberrs but
they had Made in China stickers all over the place.

 

here are some Altsfor you:
Famous Daves
Carhartt

 

yes it s all going to shit!! i work in a grocery store! and i see all the box stuff and packs of everything getting smaller!!!! so ice cream was a QT. /32 oz. now some are 29 oz. or 26 oz. !! you must read the oz. size and see how much it cost per oz. Dinner i don' go out to eat, i stay and BBQ a killer steak or whatever! it cost way to much to eat out!!

 

And hey...WTF...Dreyer's....used to be a half gallon, now a paltry 1.5 quarts...same great price tho!!! What kind of shit is that?!?

 

You forgot to add that 25% of that greatly reduced amount is now just air whipped into the ice cream... so on top of losing 50% of the original container size, what's left is less dense than it used to be. They get you coming and going!


Oh yeah, f*ck emo kids... this could become a new thread in its own right.

 

This Is A Funny Thread Love It!

 

Now let's get started on cable... just 5 years ago I was paying $74 a month for digital cable (when it was still relatively new in my area) and high-speed internet. Last time I checked it's now $127 for the same damn service. A 72% price hike in 5 years and nothing's changed????? WTF????

 

I always go WTF when I look at how much my property taxes keep going up for the schools but I swear all these kids in the neighborhood get off the school bus twice as dumb as they got on.

 

My dick used to stay hard....

 

Well when you're payin that much for a blowjob and havin to wear a rubber, Kinda takes all the fun out of it, no wonder why you cant keep your dick hard

 

Cows went on strike... didnt you know?



Which led to chickens going on strike.



Which led to the OP's rant about nuggets.

 

Tell me about it.... I don't have kids and I'm still paying!!

 

Great thread! Remember when you could call customer service and actually speak to somebody in the good ol' USA?

Now days ya get some towelheaded swami named Kevin,or Frank, or any other English sounding name with an accent so heavy ya can't understand half of what they say

What about vehicles? Remember when they were actually made of metal? Now days it's recycled Budweiser cans, the skin is so thin, if ya lean on a fender, there is a chance ya will dent it.

 

I can remember buying the little cokes for 5 cents and get 6 big candy bars for a quarter....

But since all this stuff is bad for us I hope they tax the hell out of it....(LMAO)

By the way what happened to the 18 cent a gallon gasoline...BASTARDS

 

Mine too....but hey I'm not complain about $110 for one little blue pill.....

 

Yeah....amen to that!!

At work, we have about 3 computers on our machines. One computer is the line controller. One computer tracks our performance. The other is for misc stuff, hoist/product tracking, e-mail, etc.

When the line controller & performance computers act up usually due to improper communications with machines or the network itself.... there's always a list of things to try and/or reboot to try and fix the problem. If that doesn't work - we have to call a 1-800 number and talk to someone god knows where. It's a major hassle. First off, trying to explain the situation to someone who otherwise has no frigin idea the details of the system, machinery, or the computer I'm referring to. All they're doing is jotting down notes in their computer, taking names, department number, machine number, bla bla bla...

And then what? They forward all that bullshit to the TECH department in the very same building that I'm working in. Now, why the *&#$!! can't I call them directly!!??????

It's funny....but these people try to help you diagnose the problem. Did you do this? YES....Did you do that? Yes.... did you reboot? Yes....

Look dude....I know WTF I'm doing or else I wouldn't be calling you!!!!

 

Remember when parking spaces were big enough to fit a 72 Mercury wagon?

 

Cigarettes.

When I started smoking, a pack of Marlboro Reds was roughly $3 if I remember correctly, nowadays it's closer to $6 or $7.

Edit:

However, this huge price jack, on top of my girlfriends displeasure with my smoking (a pack a day when we started dating), helped me quit. Cold turkey. also quit dipping cold turkey at the same time. I'm a beast.

 

This.. and even the Levis.. are products of the "Green Movement"... lets make everything from recycled products.. ok, you save the world... not. You generate more waste because now we have to remake the same damn product 50 times over because it wears/tears/breaks so quickly.

Deforestation arise!

Anyway.. yeah... things have gotten cheaper (make-wise), pricier and smaller all around. Except Toyota trucks.... they just got bigger and pricier.

 

Marb Reds were 45 cents a pack when I started and $2.45 when I quit.
