Rant Time – IOTW Report

Rant Time

Saturday, 1 July 2017, 23:03 BFH Uncategorized 68

Okay. This one pissed me off to no end, and I don’t care if anyone wants to be contrary, I’m right with this one.

I was ranting, again, about Florida and how a lot of people look seedy. There’s just something about them. One guy will have stringy hair, tats and a wife-beater. The woman is wearing short shorts, nice body, but for some reason she has bruises and cigarette burns on her legs and her face looks like she went 3 rounds with Ronda Rousey.  Completely methed up.

Another guy will be some orange or urine colored ethnicity with a gold tooth and an eye missing a retina.

And these are people in the good end of town.

I was in Lowes, and right on cue comes a family walking down one of the aisles. The dirtbag husband has an unlit cig in his mouth, sleeved, wife-beater, saggy assed jeans and a mullet. He’s walking 15 feet in front of his wife who is towing two kids on foot and one in a stroller. The guy has a pit bull on a leash. That’s right, a pit bull in the store. And it’s not looking friendly. The leash is a stainless steel chain, one that you could moor an ocean liner with. Obviously this dog is not a teddy bear. The dog is barking at everyone he passes.

But, that’s not the worst of it.

There’s a second pit bull, and this one is not tethered to steel, it’s just a standard leather leash, being held by a girl of about 9 years of age.

I started yelling a bit about this, and my companion was shushing me and corralling me away.

What the frig is wrong with this world?

Why would Lowes allow such a thing? It’s bad enough that there seems to be a plethora of service dogs lately (20 years ago I could go 3 years without seeing a service dog, now every friggin dog has a vest on) but these dogs were obviously not, unless the service is to tear people to shreds for accidentally giving the canine the stink eye.

Yes, I know it’s hot in Florida, and leaving the dogs in the car is dangerous. LEAVE THE DOGS AT HOME!.

I don’t go to Lowes to worry about accidentally stepping on a pit bull’s foot and losing my scrotum.

Rant off.

  4. When I was a kid, there was maybe 3 parking spaces for handicapped people, now 1/3 of the front end of the parking lot is reserved for them, and mostly they are utilized by the morbidly obese needing a scooter and a van with a lift.
    Wouldn’t it be cheaper to not only save on food, but also all the equipment that goes into enabling those porkers to get around town and buy a whole shopping cart of Hot Pockets and 3 cases of Mountain Dew?
    Who is enabling these people? You have to have a failing co-dependent relationship for this to happen. Both parties must have something mentally wrong with them.

    As far as the main rant on here, I’ve always said, “If it’s FOCKED UP, it’s either France or Florid.”

  5. I don’t like pit bulls at all. Oh sure, they’re great dogs, it’s the owners that are the problem. I’m not buying it, of course there are a lot of irresponsible pit bull owners, but there are a lot of instances where a pit bull, for no reason and completely unprovoked has viciously attacked a person or pet. I’ve got no use for them.

  6. “The Florida Funk” Florida People are a Trip ! I Guess it’s the racial Mix and the Heat.
    We have a few People like that here…but nothing like Florida, It’s Gross for me and Women Must Want to Vomit !!!

  7. I am a huge dog fan and I don’t have a prob with service dogs, but I’ve seen way too many dogs in stores who are clearly not service dogs. I mean big dogs without vests, without proper leashes and paperwork.
    As a matter of fact, I’ve seen them in the discount convenience stores and they’re sniffing all the packages and biting at stuff. And the manager says nothing. If I see a dog, or a freak like in Fur’s rant, I’m outta there and never going back. Done.

  8. I was drawn to Trump when he said he was going to be the law and order president.
    To me it sounded like decent people were going to have their cities returned to them. But it’s going to be difficult when the stores are too afraid to say anything to these asswipes.

    If you remember, in an earlier rant I talked about an incident in Walmart with illegal aliens who got in the 15 items or fewer lane with 150 items. They wouldn’t say a word to them, and these shitstains know it.
    They do what they want.
    I recently saw a group of people walk into one of the small walmarts and walked over to the fruit section and picked out a few items and just walked out.
    No one said shit.

  9. BFH. I have a brother that lives in Saint Pete. We no longer communicate because one of of us is a dick. I’ve had my CCW longer than him. Never pulled my pistol. Last we spoke he’s pulled his twice. Looks to be like one to many Joe Dirts. But I don”t live there. If Jefferson ever happens, move.

  13. My local Home Depot is next to a PetSmart.
    Imagine how many people bring their dogs into that HD.
    I get it – if HD wants business, they don’t say a thing.

  15. I’m not even mad about pit bulls. [ I owned a half breed one, pit bull/ Rhodie] Yes, they are aggressive, strong jaw structure, etc. However, pit bull+asshole owner is a whole new level of problems.

  17. In the past I’ve expressed my negative views about Pit Bulls. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to meet a few that were great dogs. Not ready to change my view point, but just sayen, maybe its not the dog, maybe it’s the owner. Verdicts not in yet.

  18. In Philly, the ‘peeps of color’ beat their pit bulls from puppy-to-adult with rolled up newspapers to make them vicious. Luckily, the cops will shoot a ferocious dog that threatens them without blinking an eye.

  22. I think it was George Carlin who questioned the sign that reads, “No does allowed – except Seeing-Eye dogs.” Who reads that sign? The blind person or the dog?

  25. MJA

    Yea, I run into them in the gun biz. Mexicans tattooed from one end to the other but clean enough to pass California’s Bull Shit to own a gun. My wife runs the paper work and inevitably tells me how much she liked them. Crazy shit. Especially coming from a reformed valley girl (LOL). Back to the dogs. Last year we had about 10 of them in the shop. My initial reaction is something like “Fuck Me”. But I get over that when they lay next to my chair and look for numerous pets. My problem with Pits is you can never tell when you run into he hand grenade with the pin pulled. I’m now satisfied they can be good pets. The owners aer the problems. And those Mex buying guns from us are American Patriots ready to go to war against Democrats. It’s a gun thing.

  26. You must live on a coast. Junkies, nutbags, criminals drift like zombies until they run out of road.

    My greatest fear, and the subject of repeat nightmares, is having to gunfight shitbags kist like your Lowes mutants. I’ve been carrying over 20 years and it was never this bad.

  27. Neighbor’s pit bull, out of the clear blue, bit my grandson on the cheek when he was 5. Little guy ran past dog to hug his babysitter, dog’s “owner.”

    Dog died suddenly 2 weeks later of unexplained circumstances.

  28. This is why — whether the schools are crap or not — parents MUST keep their kids in as long as it takes to graduate H.S. It’s not even so much about the education (though that helps), it’s about graduating and feeling some kind of accomplishment and success. If we can just get more kids over that first hump, they are less likely to feel totally hopeless and helpless to change their lives, so they’re not taking up the family dysfunction.

    So, calling all adults here (and your friends): If you have a chance to influence a young life, and especially any who you know are up against it at home, do all you can to be a friend and a mentor.

    (I would never trust a pit bull. Too much of a gamble.)

  29. I spent a lot of time at Fark.com, for years, before finding a new home here at iotw. They have tags for stories – humor, sports, etc. And they have a Florida tag. And no other state merits one, and it just seems to make sense. I don’t get it either, and the only time I spent there was a night in a Miami hotel before a cruise so I have no personal experience.

    Those pit bulls probably have a doctor’s note that they are ‘therapy dogs’. A coworker has a pit mix, and a doctor’s note. I have found pits to be very social, very friendly, and also will take your hand in their mouth and not let go just to keep your attention on them. I like all dogs, I would never own a pit.

  31. Well, don’t get me wrong, I would not own a Pit. But I wouldn’t own any Sheppard or any Doberman either. I’ve had more problems with those breeds personally than Pits.

  32. What we have heeer, is a sitiation for Mr. 1911 when the shit hits
    the fan. I like Mr. 1911 cuz he don take no shit.

    No Lowes on the island, but Home Despot gives me a military
    ten percent discount, I likes that.

    As for your red neck problem? Bwhahahahaha!!! You oughta see the island
    red necks here!

  35. OK @BFH, here’s my native born Floridian Counter-Rant:
    Stop blaming Florida for these Mutant Northern Scumbag Drifters.
    Native Floridians despise these dirtbags who keep emigrating to our State. There’s no legal way to keep them out.
    It’s not only the rich 1% who aspire to a postcard fantasy of sunshine and palm trees.

    One day Dirtbag gets evicted again for nonpayment in Detroit, or fired for alcoholism in Newark, or they succeed in getting Disability, and they pack up their rusting POS 1994 Buick and they drift down I-95 until the car breaks down. They get on welfare and use the screaming brats to get free Section 8 housing. Soon they’re snug as cockroaches in Jacksonville or Tampa and they never leave.

    Florida didn’t breed them. Floridians don’t want them. They’re lowlife domestic refugees.
    Like Mexico and the US, the North exports its criminals and dumps its defectives on Florida.

    If we could build a 20′ Big Beautiful Wall on the Georgia line, we would.

  38. As someone who goes into people’s homes for a living – I meet all kinds of breeds. Pits do not even come close the ones that concern me the most. I don’t know a vicious one, but I know there are ones.

    Any dog can be a biter when you’re in their home. A 10 pound poodle nipped me last Wednesday. It’s been many years since that has happened. Little dogs seem more likely to go for it. I think they want to be taken seriously and when you aren’t being fearful enough for them, they step it up. The bigger dogs seem more relaxed.

    Some dogs are totally cool with you while Mom or Dad is there, but surprise them re-entering the home during the job and you might face a whole new aggressive attitude. You’re a threat to their home as far as they are concerned.

    The worst breed, in my opinion? The one that is waaay more likely to bite you for no reason?

    Chow-Chow.

    I’ll take all the Pit Bulls you have. You either keep the Chow-Chow or I’ll put it down so no kids get hurt. Hate those f**kers. Even the puppies will try to take some meat off you.

    I can’t imagine taking my dogs anywhere that’s “inside” except for home and the vet. I don’t even take them visiting anyone. How are they going to guard the home if I take them away from it all the time?

  40. “…a Florida man…” I always know it’s gonna be a good story.

    The one I don’t get, Frisco (they hate it when you call it that) is one cold, miserable, foggy, wet place, even in the summer.
    Why is there such a huge homeless population?
    “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Twain

  41. Dadof4,
    Didn’t do anything except ask my prayer partners to ask God to do something about the dog since the owners wouldn’t get a dog run. My SIL, (grandson’s dad) said he’s never ever gonna cross me or make me or my friends angry. 🙂

  42. @ Bad Brad, I’ve only a Glock 43, it’s nothing scary like my sped
    up Norinco 1911. Norinco on the outside, Wilson Combat on the inside. 🙂
    I’m weird about triggers. Not used to Glock yet.

  44. I detest pitbulls and rottweilers for many reasons. I had a second job at a veterinary clinic in a largely poor Puerto Rican neighborhood. Use your imagination.

    As for Florida – all I know is I am not going any where near that place. Fur if you see an 89 year old woman with Lemonhead hair, a smear of hot pink lip stick, who says she is the prima ballerina with the Cleveland Ballet – RUN! That’s my harridan MIL. She’s lethal. The mini-me with her is my SIL, even more obnoxious. MIL may be on the hunt for husband #8 and yet one more white wedding stuffed into a dress 3 sizes too small like a bratwurst. She bled #’s1 through 8 bone dry. Worst of all they contributed heavily to Jonathan Edwards’ campaign years ago. See, lethal.

  46. Bad Brad,
    My Wilson is hand built, not factory. You used
    to be able to buy and hand work the parts into the frame.
    The Norinco cost me $200. I put about 900 into it.

    As for the Glock 43, I can’t beat somebody to death with it
    when I run out of rounds.

  48. It’s never the dog. Any breed can be socialized properly to interact with humans, the problem is that most dog owners are irresponsible pieces of shit. I was a tech for ATT for many years in So Cal, South Central area, and most of the idiots that lived there had dogs chained up in the back yard who were neglected and not properly socialized. In EVERY case of a dog bite I’ve ever known of, its ALWAYS the fault of the owner, not the dog. The factt is, that most people should not have the privilege of owning a dog, or any living thing for that matter. As for BFHs experience, hey bro, it’s Florida, and the inbred rednecks are inescapable down there, I used to live in Orlando so I know.

  51. To Rufus T. Firefly – I humbly bow before your eloquent defense of our Florida. In gratitude I would like to buy you a beer!!
    Please allow me to add this: It’s not just the interstates- it’s the freakin’ airports and docks! The Caribbean scum and the South of the Border trash keep washing up on our beaches. They bring NOTHING but drugs and crime.
    Hardly a day goes by that I do not see a bag of trash torn open on the side of the road. This trash is placed on the trunk of a car by apartment dwellers who are too lazy to take it to the communal dumpster – so, they just drive until it falls off. It drives me insane!!! This phenomenon seemed to appear about the time Puerto Ricans were moving into Florida in serious numbers. Correlation?? I am certain from what I have seen.
    Anyway – rant off for now.
    And again – Rufus, get with me for the beer!!!!!

  53. Plain Jane. Lol.

    Occasionally I’ll posit that problem animals just seem to disappear. It happens! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don’t ask the pest control guy why or how – just enjoy the peacefulness, Ok? Capiche?

    I recognize that spirit when I see it. Apparently, you’re SiL does too! 😀 Just taking care of what needs to be done..

    Hope you’re having a good weekend. Yesterday was my first day off in 6 weeks.

  54. Hang in there Fur. I agree… you should leave your dog / cat at home and not bring them shopping with you. I don’t take my pets to Petsmart even though, many people do. To me the *what ifs* outweigh the short trip companionship.

    On a side note, I bet it makes it even more difficult to find an attendant to answer a question with your pitbull by your side. AND why the hell does Lowes sell PINK tools? WTF.

  56. Don’t own a Pitbull, don’t own a dog but some of you anti Pitbull people sound no better than the anti gun people you and I despise so much.

  57. Well come to California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, etc., and you will see the same thing. There’s a severely obese guy here who lays on the sidewalk next to the ARCO gas station with a sign propped up on him that says “Will work for food!” I only drive by there to get a laugh.

  58. I don’t like most people so I stay at home and send the wife. She likes everyone.
    Everyone dresses like they’re going to paint the house or go to the beach.
    The slob look

  59. I’m with Rufus ! I grew up in Fort Lauderdale (it can happen !) Moved North in my later years because of the Language barrier! Not only does it appear all the dregs of society move south, but they all appear to forget how to drive when they get here !

  60. Central North Carolina does have its share of gangs, illegals and trailer dwellers, but the dregs are at a minimum. Nothing like Florida. What a nightmare- plus the heat and bugs, no way I’d live there.
    Hsve seen people bring small dogs inside Lowes and Home Depot. I was in an At Home store and talked to a lady about the small dog she was carrying. She confessed she did not have a service permit for the dog even though it was wearing the vest. People love to break the rules.
    BTW, BFH’s rants are hilarious, even though he’s seriously pissed.
    Dadof4, you’re right about chows. They are mean and unpredictable. When my son was 7 a chow ran across the street, chased my son and bit him. Chows may not have the jaw strength of a pit, but they make up for it with viciousness. Yeah, any dog can be dangerous, but I think pits are maligned unecessarily.

  61. Rufus T. Onfire ~ “Florida didn’t breed them. Floridians don’t want them. They’re lowlife domestic refugees”.
    Take this package, change the state to Vermont, add money and you have 70% of the state’s legislature. No joke!
    Or, take away the money and add Bernie Sanders circa 1968-1975

  62. Yeah it’s Florida it has the best and the worst of characters but it sure beats living in Detroit . And don’t worry about those dogs unless of course your not carrying.

  63. Dear Super Patriot, its people with your attitude that make it impossible for me to shop. I would have to use a scooter, which I have never done because, though I can’t walk very well, I can’t have some bozo photographing me on the scooter. Its not a weight issue. Its something neurological. I bet you’re not a perfect specimen either.

  64. I’m not PC July 2, 2017 at 11:26 am

    I don’t like most people so I stay at home and send the wife. She likes everyone.
    Everyone dresses like they’re going to paint the house or go to the beach.
    The slob look
    ————————-

    Or the news reporter stated during the Oroville Dam evacuation “And they fled in their pajamas!” LMAO! It’s 2:00 pm they dress like that 24/7, they even go to the store dressed like that. Then there’s ones with the pants down under their ass cheeks, and they’re about ready to trip on them. If that happened in front of me I couldn’t contain myself, I’d LMAO!

  66. I get along fine with dogs but they can be unpredictable. They are pack animals, and the pack instinct influences their behavior. Dogs assimilate into their human “pack” and socialize according to pack instinct.
    This is quite different from the behavior of cats, which are (generally) solitary hunters.
    These differences may account for some people’s choice of pets.

  67. Regarding the endless debate about defensive sidearms:
    It is possible to buy a reliable 1911 for about the price of a Glock these days. The 1911 will require some attention to detail. Handling a Glock will raise different concerns.
    Perhaps neither is the best for a first-time buyer. If you are not proficient with these, you might consider a DAO semiauto instead.
    Seek professional advice and instruction, pay attention to safety and legal matters. Buy quality, and practice.

    Be safe out there!
