Official Rant of the Day Thread

I saw Ash-vegas on the news this morning because of the snowfall it just had. Has it snowed there before? From the report you would think it had snowed 10" in Death Valley!
 
Background info: My normal divots are even and not very deep, many times barely taking off any grass. I've owned these clubs for 11 months now. I generally have a fast swing speed (~106mph with driver), but also play and practice a lot.

It's been a few months since the head of my 4 and 5 irons snapped off the shaft. After sending the entire set in to get reshafted (in case the current ones were faulty), today, the head of my 3i snapped off. It can't be the fact that the shafts are faulty. I'm starting to think these aren't of the highest build quality.

This is more than frustrating. I love these irons, but the durability and apparent upkeep cost is irritating. I've had to pay for shipping when my 4i first broke, and then a week later when I sent my 5i in with the entire set. Customer Service told me today they'll cover shipping this time. Great. It's not just the monetary cost, but the fact that I'm without a 3i (or whatever other club breaks) for 3-4 weeks.

This was my first set of irons. My back-up set is a set of Spaldings from the 80's. :angry:

Yeah dude, can't kick genetics. :D

It's like in that movie Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, short and fat.
 
I manage an Insurance office, with 4 females. All I hear all day long is " I dont feel good, I wanna go home, my neck hurts, how much sick time do i have" I literally want to punch them all in the face, and then tell them they cant go home.

Ok Im not really that insensitive, it just gets annoying, really quickly, 3 of the girls are older than me and 1 is younger. These chicks have no idea how good they have it.
 
LOL at punch them in the face. As my mom would say, "I'll give you something to cry about!"

Send them all home and tell them to stay there. I'm sure in this economy you can find four people willing to work.

sorry to hear that buddy! I know TM had some real issues with the Epoxy they were using. Once you get them back you should be ok.

It's been announced the Bank of Montreal has purchased the M & I Bank, the last truly large bank based in Milwaukee. French Canadians infuriate me.

Haha, a 1/4" of snow here in Georgia shuts down everything for 2 days. No one here really knows how to drive in any depth of snow.

For reasons I cannot say, I cant confirm my feelings on the FC in banking. But it begins with I and ends with agree. I have stories.

There is now a significant chance that I will be working 15-20 hour days, every single day through the rest of the year, including all holidays (Christmas, New years). Oh, and to add insult to injury, it will be on the west coast, away from family, friends, etc.

I wish I could make some money. Put in a good word for me. I'll work illegally. I'll hit the tanning beds now, and dye my hair black in the morning.
