    1. Religion. Mainly disrespecting religion. I don't care if people agree with me, I do care if they disrespect my beliefs. There's a fine line between disagreeance and disrespect and most people seem oblivious to the difference.


    yep and don't think you have me pegged or assume you know my opinions on many of the aforesaid topics because of my beliefs.

    Teachers calling themselves "co-parents"
    (I'm pissed off just thinking about that last one)

    That seriously happens?

    Customer Service...I forgot that one. I feel like I am a very nice person; probably too nice. When I patronize an establishment, it'd be nice to have the person on the other side of the phone/counter/etc to be just as nice. I understand that we're all human, and have our bad days...but if I'm friendly, why can't they be as well :sad:

    YES!!! This too. At the very least look at me and say hello when I'm at your register. So many are so cold and robotic or just plain rude.

    1) cannabis as medicine

    Really?
    So you're against cannabis, despite having "420" in your user name?

    Health Insurance!!! I can't even get started cause I'll never stop. My husband and I pay more in healthcare per month than our rent is and we still don't get the coverage we need. One of my husbands medications, which is required to keep him out of a coma and surely followed by death, is not covered and there is absolutely no other drug on the market that works in the same way. The drug is $1,500 per month, that would be over and above the $1,300 per month we're already paying. We filed grievances and etc etc etc. We exhausted every possible avenue and finally had to start getting it in Canada which is still $150 per month. I can't imagine what we would be paying if we had children! I could go on and on and on with examples, however I've already ranted too much. Sorry and thanks for letting me vent.

    I'm an Aussie, so when I learned about the US healthcare system I was amazed. It's a joke

    YES.
    Especially in Canada. It's gotten so bad now, that I've started saving up money for putting my kids through private school.
    And I don't even have kids yet.

    i;ve got a few lol, but my main one is when my eldest son who has serious mental health issues has an "episode" in public, and i get all these (probably) well meaning people offering up stupid advice, and then going on to list the reasons that 1, he needs a good slap 2, it's just a way of getting attention or 3, that i want a sainthood for putting up with it!!!!!!!!
    in answer 1, you would hit a mentally ill person seriously? 2, yes i can think of probably 50 ways that he could get my attention better and 3, i'm his mum it's my job no sainthood required

    or maybe she gets rage about the topic in general. you can have rage from the pro side as well. lots of people would disagree with the pro side. i am not one of said people and do not know anyone who is but i've heard there is a con side.

    Yes! I say "Please", "Thank you", "Have a nice day", and all of the other nice things mom taught me, but then I get a rude response. It hurts my feelings :frown: :sad: lol
