Just a warning, this is a rant post.

I'm thinking about how seriously annoying people really truly are. And it's for this reason why I cannot stand it when people borrow stuff...especially annoying people...

Last November, the guy who bought my sister her Wii had asked her if she has any of the "Mario Party" games for the GameCube. Well my sister, trying her best to continue this conversation even though she cannot stand him, says "yes." So he asks her if he can borrow it so he and his wife can play because they've never played any of the "Mario Party" games before; even though, you know, the games are still up for rental and are dirt cheap that you can buy it now but hey, whatever. So she lends it to him (she had no choice)...and this was last November....

...Fast forward to this year and he still hasn't given it back. Mmmm...apparently the true meaning of "borrow" is "keep." Because whenever my sister casually brings it up, he just goes "Oh yeah! We're still playing it!" and just smiles. So my sister is suspecting that he must've lent it to someone else and this is why he cannot give it back yet. And here's the real kicker: lately, he's been raving nonstop about this "Raving Rabbits" game for the Wii...he tells my sister to go out and buy it, buy it, buy it, play it, play it, play it!! So my sister decides to ask him if she can borrow his copy because, well, why not? And she told me he hesitated for a few moments then said that he had lent the game to a friend of his but "once he gets it back, he'll definitely let her borrow it." Oh, I think the appropriate word here is ***hole. It's okay to borrow other peoples' stuff but not lend out your own, right? I really wanted to punch him.

Oh and here's another story that's linked to this same prick: the guy is friends with this woman who I hate with every fiber of my being. Not only is she rude but she has this nasal voice and is LOUD. She does have the ability to lower her voice but she purposely becomes loud because she thinks she's so cute this way. She has two kids who are also loud. She's a horrible mother because she does nothing but spoils these kids because she doesn't know how to be a mother and has no idea of that very important word: discipline. When her kids are hungry, they cry. When they don't want something or want something, they cry. When they're tired, they cry. They cry, cry, cry ALL THE TIME...everytime they enter the stinkin' door, you'd hear the kids crying and screaming...and if you can hear it in the kitchen with all the vents and fans going on...oh yes, you can believe they're LOUD.

And guess what: since the prick is friends with this woman, she found out that my sister got a Wii. So in March, she pranced up to my sister and told her that she had just gotten a Wii and that she knew my sister got one too; and asks her if has bought any games. Now...my sister's reflexes are normally very great...but this time, she didn't react quick enough and instead of saying that we've been renting from GameFly (which is a lie but you know), she told her that we've been playing "Wii Sports" and "Cooking Mama." So she asks if she can borrow "Cooking Mama." Wow, that really made my day. Knowing the fact that her kids destroy everything they touch and this woman doesn't do sh*t about it...it's a wonderful vision to see her nasty kids potentially breaking our disc or scratching it up. Not that's it a great game but still...we payed $50 for it and I really don't want to pay another $50 AGAIN. This happened in early March...for a few weeks, my sister forgot to bring the game to the restaurant. And this insolent woman would come once every week just so she can collect the game! She didn't come that often before but ever since my sister promised her, she just kept COMING. Finally at the beginning of April, my sister brought and gave her the game. And then, something happened: *sounds of crickets chirping* That's right, the woman and her stupid kids and husband just disappeared. Omg, I think they must've fallen off the face of the planet because they never came again ever since they got the game! It's June right now and they usually would stop by once or twice every few months but now, nope, nothing.

Yeah, I've been meaning to rant about this but I wanted to wait because I thought that I may has misinterpreted this situation (even though I knew my instincts were right) and that both parties would give us back our games. But, since the prick came in last night and still was acting stupid about our game and didn't mention a word about it....well, I'm suspecting we'll never see our games again...
