Most of my rants are in the realm of controversy... ie it would #101## someone off on this board. My biggest one, "not everyone is your religion or even religious. It will never be that way, get over it, and religion should be a private personal choice. Not something used to judge or control the masses!"
I think this rant may be related to a thread I made regarding lent? If so that's fine, it wasn't based on a religious theme, although I am quite religious but many people I know aren't or are various other religions yet they still do lent, some for a personal challenge, some for religious reasons.
If this is not the case then no harm done, I just wanted to clear this up if it was the issue.
My rant for the day is sales people who call to my door, This includes religious groups, donation groups, sponsoring animal groups, charity groups.
I'm polite, if I have money in my pocket or in the house then they can have it, I rarely carry cash so this isn't too often but I never slam a door in anyones face. Just because I'm not being ignorant it does not mean that you can push and keep pushing trying to get me to change my mind as like I said, if I haven't got the cash on me, your out of luck. I already donate money to various charities that I wish to and one of which I'm cancelling the direct debit to tomorrow as I had someone calling me up asking for twice the monthly donation I already give, then when I said no they asked to at least add half of my donation on, again, I said no and they then asked for another £2.50. I told them I already give generously and that if they really wanted more money then maybe they shouldn't be wasting money harassing people for more money.
Sales people, I don't care if your selling windows and doors, SKY, kitchens and bathrooms or anything else, if I need anything I get it, if I cannot afford to get it I will save up for it, not pay for it in dribs and drabs for the rest of my life, I don't care how many years I can pay it off over or how good the deal is, I won't buy anything from anyone calling to my door.
Religious groups I listen to, politely saying I have my own religion and I'm not wishing to change. I dont know why they then insist on trying to give me some literature from their place of worship, it won't be read I'm sorry to say.
I feel a whole lot better after getting that off my chest.
