[blazing glory]

So as if a late night and an inability to sleep weren't bad enough, I have apparently left my phone - which I kinda need to keep in touch with my boss and use as an alarm clock since I don't have an actual such device - in the truck. Which is probably now 100 miles away.

I like that .gif so much for rage purposes I may add it to the OP.

Pity my browser won't let me see it,unless that's the point.

So, as those of you who live in Ontario, Canada may know, Ontario driver's licenses work on a graduated system. So, you write a test to get your G1, do a driving test to get your G2, and do another driving test for your G. G1 you need some licensed G to be in the car while you're driving. G2 is functionally the exact same as a G (full license) except for some minor restrictions around blood-alcohol and driving past midnight with a certain number of people in your car. Also, G licenses mean lower insurance rates.

I have my G2, I got it when I was 17 and thus, it's about to expire. (You can have your G2 for 4 years).  I went for my G test today.

Wonderfully enough, I got a perfect score.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Glloyd, the happy thread is over there, get out of here and let us RAGE.


Well, I failed.

I fucking failed with a perfect score.

You know why? Because apparently, there's some new municipal bylaw regarding city buses that I apparently broke. You need to follow the "rules of the road" on your test. Because I technically broke this stupid bylaw, this means I failed. But I still got a perfect score.

Needless to say, I'm really pissed off. The test itself cost $85, and then there's the cost of gas. Plus, I had to leave work early (because their hours end before I get off work), drive an hour home, drive half an hour out to the testing centre, sit at the testing centre for another 45 minutes, take the half hour test, get told I failed for some bullshit reason, then drive half an hour home. The part that really rankles is that after it was all said and done, I got home at the same time that I would've gotten home if I'd stayed at work. If I'd stayed at work and missed the test, I would have made enough in those 5 hours to just about cover the cost of the test. Goddamn, I am pissed.

Now, I have to wait 10 days until I can take the test again, and then I have to go through that whole process all over again, and pay another $85. Urgh. Thanks for listening to me vent. I'm just going to go split wood to work out some of my anger before I go on the Ministry of Transportation's shitty website again to book another test.

Ugh, that really sucks. It also means your tester was a dick, as most of it is to their discretion. I just finally got my G (just before it expired). I hate being judged while driving. At least we can pass the busses here, you just have to yield when they're turn signal is on so they can get going again, a much more sane bylaw really.

Not enough rage.

MINNEAPOLIS

Wait....are we raging at Minneapolis or at Comic Sans?

The Minneapolis came first, so I'm assuming its the point of the rage.

[XXSockXX]

Why would anybody rage at Comic Sans, the font of impressive business cards and successful job application letters?

Do a search for it in this thread. I've raged about it before and I'm too tired to type it out on my phone.

But seriously, fuck Minneapolis.

[Sirus]

Can you not move to a less rage-inducing city?

Nenjin likes to court rage with the passion of a scorned lover. Minneapolis is the best possible stage for his fiery courtship.

Every time I do a favor for anyone, it just happens to take an hour longer than they tell me it will.

Every once in a blue moon, a tiny minority of people have a small habit of underestimating stuff. But it is uncommon.
