Hi there,
There's a nice rhythm and flow to these piece. Nice to see apoetic form for this rant challenge too.
When I'm shopping or walking or stop for a show.- grammar is off in this line, technically stop should be stopping as it's coupled with I'm.
All the best

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a very fine rant. It is very amusing yet says what you think. There are some people who never admit their error no matter what. Best of luck in the write a rant contest.

This is an excellent rant in poem form about people that rub you the wrong way. Some people enjoy engaging in a debate with someone over a difference of opinion and they like to make it seem as if you are the stupid one and they are right. They rub me the wrong way too.

Comment from Olivanne Marsh
Thank you for the explanation of anapestic tetrameter in the author's note, it was informative and helped me appreciate a bit more the rhythm of the work. Also, explained the purpose of the rhyme, which I felt at times was a little strained or contrived.(Though, I am not a poet and I am somewhat ignorant about poetry...so you can take that comment for what it is worth and consider the source.) I did enjoy the piece and found it amusing, also creative to conduct a rant in rhyme. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Fleedleflump
I love your last line - did you come up with that first and then build this piece up to it? That's not a criticism - just the sort of thing I do. Yeah, those pretentious ones can be very grating. I know a few people who feel the need to 'teach' others continuously, even when they don't really know what they're talking about.
Nicely written.

It's refreshing to read a piece in anapestic tetrameter for a change. Rants should always be sweetened with a good dose of humour if you want anyone to read them! Sandpaper people is a splendid coinage for those who abrade us!

Comment from LJbutterfly
This rant is quite analytical. There ARE sandpaper people. Before I retired, there were many in my workplace. They greeted you at the front door, and had something to say about everything you did. You also find many of them in church criticizing one another. Thank you for your explanation of an Anapestic tetrameter. I'm not a poet, so this was very helpful. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Superior. Great work.
Reminded me of a story - kids put Limburger cheese in grandpa's mustache as he napped. Awakened. "It stinks in here." Next room. "It stinks in here, too." Outside. "The whole world stinks."
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.

An excellent rant in poetry form. Yes, such sandpaper people can certainly "rub one up the wrong way"! You have some fine examples in there. Best wishes for your rant in the contest.
