The Bitching Thread

[The Heretic Azazel]

Anyways, I'm going to bitch about my truck today. I don't know what happened but somehow, somewhere in the wiring there is a short thats pulling a 12v draw from the battery and causing me to have to jumpstart the damn thing when I need to drive somewhere.

If locating the short wasn't such a damn chore I'd have it fixed by now, but I've gone all through the damn thing and it's either the power seat, or something inside the door, but I can't pinpoint it any further. It's driving me insane.
..

@ BoC below :D Ok then I'm taking the pic out. Either way he'd probably be at a loss for a real answer.


My fucking alternator went out on my way to work yesterday, and I couldn't even jump it off because it's flooded. Sometimes car maintenance can go easy, but sometimes it's a fucking bitch to deal with.

And to get it towed out they wanted 100 dollars. 100 fucking dollars! To tow something 15 miles!

[AlterEgox5]

I hate Illinois. Okay, so maybe I don't hate it, but there are times when I come pretty damn close. Why?

*looks out the window*

I want to move to Colorado into the mountains because A.) I love the mountains anyway, B.) there are more friggin' trees around C.) because of A and B I'm not surrounded by farmland and people who think they're cowboys when you know for a fact only a certain percentage of them could actually ride a mechanical bull without getting killed.

But that's beside the point. Why did I look out the window? Because a huge freaking thunderstorm is rolling my way. No, I do not have a problem with thunderstorms. Hell, I've been at 12,000 feet while hiking and got to our campsite and slept through a loud storm in a small tent that had metal poles. In fact, I enjoy them for the most part.

What I do not enjoy is the fact that because I live in the land of no trees where the farmland gets used so much there aren't any real nutrients left in it, these kinds of storms at this point in the season have a tendency to say to themselves, "Hey, I'm feelin' kinda twisty - maybe I'll draw some doodles in the ground below...la de da..." Thus the alarms go off, I freak out, and don't know where to go aside from the hallway because they told me on Sunday when the last tornado decided to skip past my town to stay in my room even though this room has some pretty big fucking windows.

I don't mind tornadoes in a way, I mean it's not like I have a grudge against mother nature or something, she's pretty cool and I enjoy her work. I just do not enjoy being in the path of her paintbrush, or in this case, airbrush. If I had my chance, I'd move, unlike those people who live right next to the Mississippi River who refuse to budge even though they've been flooded over about 10 times and want to stay because it's "pretty here."

So my rant in short? If those sirens go off again, I'm gonna be fucking pissed. (not to mention how a fire alarm went off on Monday at 10am).

Yeah, I know this was longer than it probably needed to be, but I tend to ramble when I get into something. Hope ya enjoyed my bitching.

It'll keep your bookmarks and stuff if you uninstall I believe. I could be wrong though, but I could have sworn it'll ask you if you want to keep them.

Well, it's always possible to go to the bookmarks editor (whatever it's called in English - I have a localised version), and export the bookmarks. Save them in a safe place, uninstall the whole thing, install anew, and import the bookmarks if they disappeared. It should work.

[Knives122]

well I fixed my gay ass problem that I had with firefox, decided to start a new profile which gives me a clean slate. the bad part is that it gives me a fucking clean slate.

now I have to get every fucking extension that didn't fuck firefox up for me and all my themes that probably won't work with version 1.5.0.2

at least I can see my sig now :p

[Deadfire]

*sigh* is it really me that has this type of people or is it that people these days really like to hate me

So I'm at my Tech bench where I work and I get a phone call. the person cames to have a problem with their computer (Surprise, surprise) This is the conversion

Me: "May I ask what operating system you are running today?"
Customer: "A computer."
Me: "Yes I know that, What operating system are you running? Windows 95?"
Customer: (a little too excited) "95, 97, 98, I've got them all!"
Me: "Do you know what operating system you're on?"
Customer: "Hmmm...what would be a good answer?"
Me: "Ok what does your computer look like"
Customer: I don't know it's White, and stuff, the box it came in said it was a Mac,
Me: "what kind of Mac do you have?"
Customer ( in a indignant voice) "Duh, Intosh."

.....

you fail!

Also some of the questions i have gotten from Customers and Staff

"Does Windows 98 support Linux?"

"How much do Windows cost?"
"Windows costs about $100."
"Oh, that's kind of expensive. Can I buy just one window?"

"You said I would get 98 windows with this computer. Where are they?"

"Where can I get internet?"

"Do you have a extra keyboard I broke mine"

"Can I help you do anything?"
"Do you know what I'm doing?"
"no, but i can help you with other stuff"

"I keep getting this error when I click this program"
"What does it say"
"'C:\WINDOWS>'."

"Well...ok...but if it doesn't work, will you come over and fix it for me?"

....

In the words of Terra "Humanity fucking blows."

[AlterEgox5]

I say just shoot them next time.

Man I so hate stupid people...someone please punch me if I'm ever that dumb...

[Kraco]

@DF: No matter how painful it must be for you sometimes to try to answer idiotic questions, it does make funny read for the rest of us...

[The Heretic Azazel]

Hahahaha, that's the funniest shit in the world if you don't work there!

[AlterEgox5]

*gives you a cookie*

[Board of Command]

Deadfire, did that conversation start with the phrase "My computer doesn't work" by any chance?

The level of stupidity among the current population is simply absurd. If Hitler was fighting in today's age and said he's killing Jews because they're all idiots, I bet a lot more people would support him. In the next election, if one of the candidates' platform contains something along the lines of "exterminate idiots from our country" I'd vote for that.

[Kraco]

In the next election, if one of the candidates' platform contains something along the lines of "exterminate idiots from our country"

That's a theoretically interesting, and twisted, concept, as it would result in idiots voting for their own extermination. As we all know, idiots rarely consider themselves idiots.

[Board of Command]

Ooh cheap shot man, cheap shot!

[AlterEgox5]

Still, Kraco does have a point - those people making their comments concerning the computers...how much you wanna bet they think they're making intelligent comments?

[Board of Command]

Ok I think we're being a bit too subtle here. By "those people" you're talking about the customers and not the people on the forum right?

[masamuneehs]

i have a ridiculous hangover. that's about all i need to bitch about now.
going back to bed.

[Kraco]

Ok I think we're being a bit too subtle here. By "those people" you're talking about the customers and not the people on the forum right?

I think it's pretty safe to say nobody here meant any offense. I realise my post had a slight chance of being interpreted as such, and thus I took the precaution of removing your last words from the quote so that it wouldn't be read in a negative manner. For my own part, it was just a play with the thought and words.

[DB_Hunter]

Well for my two cents I would side with Kraco's argument. It seems for whatever reason the masses in any country seem unable to grasp the key points of anything that is political, let alone politicians in the middle of an election. It may be because it does take some effort to follow what is going on in the world of politics and there will only be a certain number of people in any society that can put in that effort and since the rest can't, they remain ignorant and hence are liable to be labelled 'idiots'.

[AlterEgox5]

Ok I think we're being a bit too subtle here. By "those people" you're talking about the customers and not the people on the forum right?

Yeah, I meant the people making the comments about computers in Deadfire's post. Besides, I haven't been here long enough to even start making assumptions about stupid people posting in this forum. :p

I'm not stupid. Hehe.

[Deadfire]

I'm not stupid. Hehe.

What is more interesting is that people have stepped off-topic to relate about my work and post about it. Many of those quotes are not really from those that came off (to me ) that they simply didn't know what it was they were relating to. More that they thought that they did, thats not saying all the stupid questions (to me) are easy for people to understand. I do know of many nice folk that have asked for my help and argreed with my answers as they trusted my experiance in these matters. More to my point I"m "bitching" about those that do not think of me that highly in these matters and question what I say because it seems to them that they know it already and that I am going to profit from it. Now I've gone a little to far from my topic going into another thing that annoys me to no end

Those that ask for your advice and not take it, either but thinking that they can do it some other way, or by taking instead the advice of someone they really shouldn't. Then after everything is said and done they come back to you and complain that everything went wrong and how it sucks.

You know why it sucks? Because you didn't listen to me the first time you ass! Maybe I know shit you or your friends don't.!!

God I love this thread saves me money on anger management

[ChaosK]

Allergies make me want to claw my eyes out.

[Carnage]

^^ I know what you mean. Right now because of them, im sneezing like hell and my throat both itches/burns. Goddam allergies.....

[dragonrage]

what to bitch at? hemmm so many to choose from.

well to start off, my break is coming to an end and i have been chained to my bed. The furthest i got away from the house was the doctors' office.

After being bed bound, for 6 days, having a temperature of a 103 and coughing up blood I finally gave in and went to the doctor.

Fucking doctors and nurses. I swear that they try to kill you before they cure you. It took the nurse 5 fucking tries and 2 arms for her to find a vein. I so fucking dislike needles. And they know it. A fucking crackhead could do a better job.

Well now i am feeling better. But i discovered that i roasted my taste buds from tea and soup, also my nose is so sore that breathing is a pain in the ass.

Other than that i am alright. Glad to be back.

[Kraco]

It took the nurse 5 fucking tries and 2 arms for her to find a vein.

Well, I hope it was at least a pretty, young nurse...

[dragonrage]

Well, I hope it was at least a pretty, young nurse...

she was beautiful, but the needles were abit distracting.

[The Heretic Azazel]

They didn't find your vein because youre a fatass like me. It's always a bitch for me to give blood.

[Board of Command]

Easiest way: cut your wrist, drain some blood, super glue shut when done.

[RedX1z]

i see we have an expert in the medical fields.

@dragonrage: i'm sorry to hear that you couldn't make the best of your vacation, but summers almost here and there are plenty of fridays to go around.

it sucks when people minunderstand one another, it's a bitch still being friends with your ex, when her new boyfriend thinks i'm trying to pull something again when all i did was meet up with her and had a friendly chat over some coffee and went to a few stores to look at something. those people that feel insecure 24/7 really piss me off. for him to come and see me at a place where i usually hang out and then push me against the wall, then tells me to "back the fuck off!" and a whole bunch of other shit is going a little too far, don't you think? i believe he did the wrong thing by approaching me that way and should've just used words and not his fist, unfortunately it didn't go smooth for him either. i'm not sorry for what i did to him the other day, i don't believe i was wrong, though obviously he feels differently, but that can't be helped.

anyways, that's it from me for now.

[ChaosK]

I dont have super glue, can i use staples and a paperclip?

[dragonrage]

@ the heretic azazel... i am actually underweight. Its just hard to find my veins i guess since this is the 3rd time, by seperate people something like this has happened. Add to the stockpile of reasons why i dislike doctors and nurses.

@Redx1... life must go on. the poor boy thinks she is gonna lose the girl to you, seeing that you and here have history together. Its not easy being friends with you ex. Its rather hard. But life goes on:p . Next time lay him out. go for the knee caps, after you kick him in the nuts. then a wack him in the back of his head. Then say, " listen here you asshole, lay your hands on me again and that the last thing you will ever use them for". I am curious to know how the girl reacted, because being her friend might cost you alot more trouble, just want to know if she is worth it.

@BoC.... i actually used a chisel and a machete. the chisel nicked my wrist vein, and the machete almost claimed my pinky toe (only cracked the bone). I think i might try super glue to stop the bleeding next time, anything is better that going back to the doctor. They alway find something wrong with you.

[The Heretic Azazel]

The girl has nothing to do with it. Ultra was exercising his 11th amendment right to not be steamrolled like a little bitch, girl or not.

[Board of Command]

Buddy, I've done it with masking tape and if that works, anything works.

[IFHTT]

Holy crap! When I browse the Xanga sites of my brother's friends and read through the comments they leave each other, it makes me want to cut my hands off and donate them to the poor bastards in hopes that they would some day have the ability to type a somewhat legible strand of coherent thoughts. All I see in their comments is stuff like: "hAY! wAts ^??!!1 r u gAnnA gO 2 dA mAlL 2dAy.?".

It makes me fear the future of this country and planet.

[XanBcoo]

Kids who type in aol talk and capatalize every other letter are worse than kids who type in all caps, who I've previously bitched about in this thread.

Oh man. The exact same thing has happened to me before, and just like you, I HATE needles. They eventually got it in for me, but when they did, my blood instantly shot back up the needle somehow and started to ooze out onto my arm. Not fun shit.

[Mr Squiggles]

Ok, time for the geekiest bitching you guys will ever read.

We can't find more players for our DnD group! Some of the people we used to play with have now moved out to other places and we can't find anybody :(. We need 1, if not two (one person is not sure if he can) more people. I guess we can go to the local switchbox and look at the ads for people wanting to join a group, but playing someone you havent met before just wouldn't be the same. Another option would be to have some people rp 2 characters but thats also not as cool...

[Terracosmo]

Man I hate working during weekends.

I'm forced to rush directly to the bar after getting off work :p

[masamuneehs]

time for an anime related rant:

Why is it that so many groups jump on the same damn project and neglect other animes? I've already counted 6 goddamn groups subbing that piece of shit KIBA show. NANA has 3 (although I hear that's a good show). Ouran High School Club has 3 including Lunar (meaning the other groups should just do themselves a favor and drop it, as anybody with half a brain will wait for Lunar). F-B picked up Ray: the Animation. 3 crappy groups picked up crappy Soul Link.

And I'm left with
Megami fansubs subbing Zegapain.
Yesy (tho they've surprised me with how good of a job they've done on it so far) subbing Utawarerumono
Nobody subbing Ju oh Sei
Nobody subbing Glass no Kantai

I feel like the anime subbers are a group of 8 year olds playing soccer. They all just cluster into a big tangle around the ball, all trying to get the goal. Nobody thinks about the other jobs that need to be done, and if they do they all just want the glory anyway. Some are smart enough to 'assist' other groups in doing a show. But it seems nobody wants to play defense and wait to catch what might prove to be a dark horse winner from the neglected series.

I know bitching about subbers is pretty lame, especially since they put alot of time and effort into subbing and therefore have the right to sub whatever they want. But goddamnit I want to see my shows subbed by good groups!

edit - well after getting some more info from Bud in IRC I'm not quite as pissed. Seems Live-Evil will eventually do Jyu oh Sei and gg Fansubs is waiting for their translator to figure out priorities, but they've tentatively picked up Glass no Kantai. Something is alot better than nothing.

[Board of Command]

I agree wholeheartedly, Masa. I wish more groups, or a faster group, would pick up Angel Heart since that seems to be the slowest-releasing anime in the history of mankind. Despite the super-quality encodes done by Ani-Kraze and Lost in Translation, two quality sub and no speedsubs just isn't balanced.

Another series is Basilisk. I think Basilisk is pretty close to Angel Heart in terms of speed. I'm still not done watching the series and it'll probably be June before I watch the second last episode...

[PSJ]

I fucking hate this mother fuckin new phone and shit. Just got myself a new cell becuase i dropped my old one in the floor and the display shattered, now i don't have a single of my old numbers left i need to re-create my whole fuckin phonebook. This obviously sucks alot and if that weren't enough the phone got alot of gay sounding phonetunes and shit so i had to delete all the shit and load some songs onto it.

[ChaosK]

PSJ, if the phone itself is still alive (just the display screen is dead) then you can go to a dealer and see if they'll wire your phonebook to you. (of course you'll probably have to pay) but if you have a lot of people to put into your phonebook, it's probably worth it.

[RedX1z]

speaking of phones, i'm sick and tired of seeing everyone using this damn phone, what's so great about it that everyone has to freaking use it?

seeing this phone makes me sick! burn in hell, razor!

[masamuneehs]

all i have to say is wtf mate?

so it's pretty late here in Italy, past 2AM. I stay up late, usually to 3 at least.

It was a pretty normal day for me. Woke up at noon, got some groceries, got alot of studying done for my upcoming exam, watched an episode of Rescue Wings, ate at regular hours. Got a midnight snack as my roommates were going to bed (proscuitto and cheese sandwich), glass of water. All pretty normal and regular.


So it's just past 2AM and i need to drain the lizard before watching an episode and hitting the hay. Walk out of my room, into the kitchen, unbutton my PJs, go to open the bathroom... ... ...

It's locked.
The door is locked, it's pitch-black and empty inside. I try the door again. Nope.

So I'm standing there with my dong in my hand and my bladder going 'Pardon me sir.' And this friggin locked door is stopping me from passing the Grey Poupon to the sewer monkeys.

Now there are actually three doors to the bathroom, one to the balcony (don't ask me why. it's the only way to the balcony as well), one from the kitchen, and one from my roommates room. Now obviously they're the culprits here, but they've been asleep for awhile already. I'm not about to go creeping through their room when they're asleep (and I'd have to practically step over their heads to get to the bathroom, they sleep on a cot on the floor). And I know they had a long and shitty day today, so I don't want to wake them.

And my bladder is like still all 'Hemhem, pardon me, sir'

So I go back to my room, put on pants, shoes etc. Get my keys and go to take a moonlit piss somewhere out in the streets.

The restaurant next door's staff are all standing around smoking. Further up the street the street cleaning crew is moving along at a snail's pace. No urine shall flow here.

I go to a little side-street, this couple is getting absolutely freaky in the best (and already used. what is wrong with their noses?) corner, and then a cop car rolls up.

I go to the nearby park. The Punkabestia people are smoking something or other and before i can even get to a tree they're talking to me and trying to make a pass at my wallet (which i stupidly had on me).

'PARDON ME SIR!!!' This is getting out of hand. Everything is closed, even the bars. Finally I just shuffle between two parked cars on the street next to the park and pass the Grey Poupon all on some Honda's tires. This elderly couple (why the fuck aren't they in bed?!) passes and gives me dirty looks.

And I go back to my apartment. And the bathroom door is now wide open.

God fucking damnit.

[Board of Command]

I hate road intersections. I'm either cursed somehow, or extremely unlucky all day, everyday. Every time I approach an intersection without traffic lights, there are no cars in sight. By the time I'm about 50 to 100 meters away from the intersection, no cars pass by. By the time I'm about 10 m away from the intersection, no cars pass by. By the time I reach the intersection, 20 cars zoom by from both sides. After they pass by and I cross, there is not a single left on the road in either side. Then I reach the next intersection, same thing happens.

And the worst part is that it doesn't matter if I'm walking, biking or driving. It happens all the time.

Also due to the time of year comes my annual time of delegation between my parents about what I'm doing this Summer. Divorced parents money fights ftw!

Anyways, if I were to bitch, it's the fact that the department's asking me to make TWO books instead of just one. One book alone sucks away my money as well as my production time. Bah!

[XanBcoo]

Ahhhh fucking fuck-fuck shit! I hate registering for classes. I never get to talk to an advisor who understands that I haven't yet grasped all the jargon involved in the system. Plus, I always end up finding out that I have yet another 6 hours or so to cover in a given subject when I thought I already had them taken care of. It's just fuckin annoying is all. At least I've finally decided on a major...

I also am trying to figure out how to get CollegeBoard to send in an AP test score from 3 years ago that my college never received. I've got to fucking register tomorrow and they're telling me I need to take a class I've already gotten credit for (because of the exam). Fucking obstacles. Getting in my way.

Looks like a semster of History and Science classes next year...I hate those.

Edit: NOW I'm stuck trying to plan a decent schedule for next year. Blah.

Holy shit, I hate my dentist. Normally, you would think that saying that implies the general hatred of going to the dentist due to the activities that go on while there (i.e. drilling, picking etc.).

Hell no I hate MY dentist. Everytime I go to get my teeth cleaned the bastard pulls some kind of move to inflict physical pain upon me. Today he kicked me in the elbow as hard as he could. "WTF is up with that?", you may ask. I guess I used to be ok with it back when I was like 15 or so and thought it was funny. Now it's just annoying. What's even worse is that I've told him to stop doing it. I guess I need to find a new dentist.

Perhaps he mistook it for your tooth where you'd probably have to get a new dentist for that anyway.

[Genma]

I'm totally bored...I want to hurry up and graduate and be done with all this crap...

Man, I can totally relate to this.

My senior year of High School is incredibly pointless and filled with busy work, lectures, and a lot of news watching. I've learned almost nothing this year (probably due to the fact that both science and math aren't required for us any longer), other than the vocabulary words that I've forced myself to memorize.

Most of my teachers understand the pointlessness of this year and basically don't try. However, my new, permenant English substitute feels obligated to make us work our asses off.

She's only been teaching our class for about three days, but I'm already going crazy. She makes us read things outloud -- which is the dumbest thing ever; what 17-18 year old can't grasp the idea of reading and learning for themselves? -- and basically wastes the whole class period in doing so. Then she piles on homework and group presentations.

I'm just glad I've only got a few months left now. Id've probably jumped out my window if we had this lady the whole year.

Episode 182 was released 4/7, episode 183 was released 4/21, episode 184 was 5/2. KF was pretty fast (faster than usual) with 185, but you do know that the anime is up to 263 right now right?

that was 2 weeks from 182-->183, 1½ weeks 183-->184.

[AlterEgox5]

Why can't you go to the bar again? You did say you were done with your assignment right...?

I couldn't go to the bar because everyone was already there which means there's no way for me to get there (no car), and I hadn't showered and didn't want to until later or something since I hadn't eaten and wanted to find some food. But that's okay because I'm going out tomorrow even though I still have a study guide to do and plans to forumlate for another paper. *sigh*

Ugh. Oh well. Dane Cook rules right now, haha.

Damn... I was wondering what that thing about episodes around 260 being released meant, when the K-F subs were hanging around 180... Well, can't be helped, I suppose. You don't get to complain about free meals, after all.

Edit: Well, some people think it's perfectly fine to complain about free fansubbing (judged by the neg hits this post got)... You try it yourself, if you think it's so easy. I created one lousy softsub for a Naruto ova, and it was hard work, yet absolutely nothing compared to what the real subbing groups are doing.

Its hot here in Canada. So so so hot. I now wish for the winter.

[Splash!]

i agree woofcat, but actually i am quite sick of the weather extremes. It pisses me off. Great days are just getting rarer and rarer

[Genma]

Ugh... need to vent.

Today my mom came home at 6:00 PM, as per usual, and complained about her day. She's unemployed and feels obligated to help my grandparents, yet nobody is forcing her to do so. Every day she acts like a friggin' martyr for her cause.

Anyway, after her ranting, I ask where all my stuff I need for my driver's test tomorrow is. She proceeds to yell at me because it's "not her responsibility." Then I remind her that she took all my junk -- including my social security number -- to my grandparents in order to schedule a driving appointment.

She continues to blame me for the loss and how it's not her fault, despite the fact that she took it. Having my social security number floating around dangerously is not good at all, but to have my mom yell at me for something that wasn't even my fault just makes it ten times worse.

Then she goes to my dad and says that I'm "out of control". The entire argument all I did was remind her of what she did, which she apparently doesn't like hearing.

I seriously don't know what's going to happen now. My mom is gone, my dad left angrily, and there's no doubt going to be a fight between the two of them tonight. My dad, being the arrogant prick that he is, will say that "she's not taking care of things at home", and she'll reply that this isn't "Leave it to Beaver".

Then they'll blame me for the whole fiasco because I ignited it. Then, tomorrow, provided I take my test, I'll probably just fail it miserably and the whole thing will be pointless.

*exhale*. Man, this thread is very useful. Feels like I just took a huge weight off my shoulders :D

[AlterEgox5]

Aw, poor Genma. I've had this happen to be before too, and for the longest time I thought, "Great, my parents are going to friggin' get divorced by something I didn't even mean to start." The ridiculous part is (and I'm not trying to sound pompous or anything) is that out of the three of us (my older sis, younger sis, and myself) I am the child that they have to worry about the least. Seriously, I get straight As/Bs, I'm responsible, I do what I'm told, blah blah blah and look what happens...

Still, they patched it up and just think, eventually you'll be on your own where you don't have to deal with that stuff anymore if you don't want to (and it's pretty darn awesome if I do say so myself, as much as I love my parents). Chin up, have a cookie and as my dad says (told to him when he was on the side of a mountain by the mountain guide...but that's another story), "At least rats aren't eating your face." (uplifting isn't it? Heheh)

People with shitty computers piss me off. People who refuse to get better computers piss me off even more. People who have shitty computers and refuse to upgrade because they expect me to fix them all the time pisses me off the most.

But the worst of them all: people blowing their money on trivial things instead of upgrading their piece of shit excuse for a computer.

Rain fucking pisses me off. Oh, and people who take it for granted that you'll throw them a surprise party piss me off. This one guy I'm only okay friends with, demands that me and my friends should've thrown him a party (what the fuck?!) so we all gave him birthday punches for turning 19 and he's nursing a dead arm right now. :D

[AlterEgox5]

I should be studying, but I've gotten to the point where I just think, "Geez...FUCK that already!" Pardon my french but I just want to be done with these stupid finals and get the hell out of here already. My 8am final is actually starting to look good now - the sooner the better.

And though rain doesn't necessarily piss me off (except at this point in time a rainstorm can = lots of wind which can = damn tornado sirens going off since I live in the land of flatness ), I hate when it has that "I'm thinking of raining" look outside but it never freaking does. It's just cloudy, windy, and just overall [I]blah outside. Freaking rain or clear up. Indecisiveness sucks.

[Zidarri the Exile]

My ISP, Comcast, fucked up big time, saying I didn't pay for my internet, when of course, I had. So, they shut it off, which really kinda pissed me off. I finally got it back, but I had to pay extra to get back my normal connection.

Hmm, Less of a bitching more of a wow he is fucking stupid.

My buddie (19) in his 2nd time at grade 12. He has no plans to go to College or University, yet he shells out $3300 on a new Alienware Laptop. Sure its a nice laptop but you can buy a decent car for that and he has no real use for it. He plans to go to the workforce after this. Sigh, silly people.

[Kraco]

Must be an extremely kickass laptop to be so expensive! Maybe he wants to play Oblivion anywhere...

[masamuneehs]

goddamn the fucking italian school systems. goddamn them for being so fucking disorganized and vague and shitty at planning.

so i stayed up almost all night last night, missed out on kickass clubbing the past two days in order to pass this exam scheduled for today.

I go to the exam.

Professor: "You're late."
Me: "I'm sorry I couldn't find the room" (fucking italian buildings are beautiful, but goddamn if the school ones aren't like a labyrinth and devoid of useful signs...)
Professoressa: "Beh, culpa tua... Here's the paper."
Me: "I thought it was supposed to be an oral exam?" (I've learned trying to take a written exam in a language you just started learning 3 years ago is a very bad idea)
Professoressa: "No no, that exam is next week."
Me: "But you only mentioned today for the final!"
Professoressa: "Well it's the 16th for the oral. Today is the written."
Me: "The 16th? I'm supposed to go on vacation that day (to Prague)"
Professoressa: "Peccato tuo" (too bad for you OR Your loss)

FUCK! Now I have to scramble to change flights, pay the difference, recant on the girl I was going with for the first day (a firebrand at the haystack dance , though in a mixed hostel of 4 it'll be a little kinkier than my tastes...), still pay for the hostel for that night and reprep myself for the exam.

And that fucking bitch professor only stressed today as the final date. I wasn't the only one to show up under the wrong impression that today was both exams...

I've never used the bitching thread before, so lets see....what do I have to bitch about?

[Deadfire]

Let’s see....

Other then the fact I just got 4 hours of sleep, because of a meeting of the heads of state here. (Damn you Comp!) I'm sitting here trying to think of a gift for my mother and then I thought of this that Mother's Day, like any gift-giving or well-wishing holiday may be good for some, but it's quite painful for others. Does anyone think about those with no mothers or those who have wrongly had their kids taken away or for the mother who gave up a child for adoption? It's aimed like every mother in existence is worthy of honor on this day, the mom's are going to be queen for the day.

It tugs at my heart, knowing that every time they see something going on about Mother's Day, they become sorrowful and have to relive memories stored since the last painful Mother's Day. I saw a new line of greeting cards being advertised because they were different in that they said things like "Congratulations on Your Divorce", "To Mom and her Boyfriend" and "Happy Remarriage" . I'm surprised there aren't really cruel ones for people still carrying a hate or grudge towards their mothers, like "Thanks for giving me up" "You were always a bitch", "Thanks for the Beatings", "You were always neglectful", "You Never Loved Me", "Why did you have me?". Yikes, that's harsh! There would be a market for them, however.

I hear so many people bitch about their mothers and don't treat them well for a whole year, but then this day comes around and only on this day do they pretend to care. It's not fair to the mother. Do they really think a yearly phone call is going to make things ok? That mom isn't hip to this? She makes noises like she's so pleased to hear from them, but deep down she's sad, knowing they're just going through the motions because it's expected. Granted, there are mothers who have kids who love them all the time and are very happy to be showered with gifts and cards on this day. They are the lucky ones.

My mother is a kind woman, having myself with no father for much of my life; I remember that every Mother's Day. It pains me not to know how that felt, that because I was young I had no idea the problems she had. She had to go back to school just to support me and at that end caused her to go down a different path in her life then she wanted. More to the point I fucked up her life. To be reminded of this on mother's day is hard to think about, she never had said I did, and she praises the fact I was born. I just don't understand that, Is a gift every year going to help you not think of those times that you were poor, alone, and living a life you didn't plan on? Am I to be happy or sad?

Confusion on this matter hits me every year now at this time when I need to get her a gift, as if it wasn't hard already, nothing I give her will change the past, something that I want it to do, and as well I can't give her something to remind her of those days past. Some years I went in on gifts with my two siblings born after this to a loving mother and father. They don't know what happened before and gifts they give are much more how to say "normal" However this hurts me more, as it's truly not from me, the one that matters. To ask you Gotwoot to help me here is hard. Frankly I'm not asking for it. I'm just typing what’s on my mind and bitching about the time I need to spend in a mall somewhere thinking about this. Another year, another gift that means at least to me, jack

There is something really fucked up about some people.

A long and bitter story that isn't yet finished:

Damn it. I woke up at 3AM to a strong smell of smoke. I instantly jumped up, and ran through the apartment from one electric appliance to another checking if one was on fire. Then it occured to my sleepy mind that the fire alarm would be pretty loud if that was the case.

As a background I live in a 10 floors high apartment building, at 8th floor. There is a totally enclosed staircase space in the middle of the building, with the numerous apartments located to all directions from it. So, I checked the staircase next. The smell of smoke was even heavier in there. Well, I still didn't hear fire alarm from anywhere, so I thought: screw it, and just tried to air my apartment through the balcony door and window. Then I went back to sleep.

Maybe a quarter later I woke up, and realised there was just as much smell of smoke in my apartment than right before venting. So, I aired again, and left the window slightly open. And satisfied went back to sleep. Two hours later I woke up because there was even more smoke. I realised it came right in from the open window. I went to the balcony and immediately noticed hefty amounts of smoke puffing from the apartment directly below me.

I grasped my trousers and left the apartment with full intention to go and ring the doorbell of the said apartment below mine. However, at its door I found it's not so easy to ring somebody's door bell at 5AM. Instead I took the elevator all the way down and walked to the parking lot in front of the building, and tried to have a look at the suspicious apartment from outside. The balcony door of the apartment was open, and I didn't see any more smoke, nor did it look to be on fire.

After this fucked up night (which is hardly over yet at ~7AM), I'm unable to fall asleep anymore. So, here I am, writing this dull story... Maybe I will ring the door bell of the apartment below later and ask whoever bonehead lives there why he/she ruined my night...

[XanBcoo]

Throw a smoke grenade in their apartment. The ultimate retribution.

Yikes, I hope I don't have these problems living in my apartment next year. I gotta plan ahead.

About two months ago, my friend applied for a job at this grocery chain (Sobeys). I don't know what happened, but he got taken ON THE SPOT! By that, I mean he handed the manager the application form, and bam, he's in.

I applied almost a month ago, and I'm still sitting here waiting. This has nothing to do with the application form because my qualifications are far superior. My friend even told me what he wrote on his form. When I talked to the manager, he said he'll contact me when there's an opening.

Now, here is the part that pisses me off. This other guy I know applied there couple days after me. He got taken within a week. WTF? Again, this has nothing to do with qualifications because we're all just students. This is damn ridiculous.

fucking cleaning women took the cash out of my wallet while i slept late this morning.
nobody else was in the room and i was out cold (thank you Jameson) but i noticed that the sheets on other beds had been changed and that my wallet was not only in a different spot than where i think i left it but that the cash (about 30 some Euros) was all gone.

and of course the women at the hostel desk said there was no way to tell who took it and the fucking cleaning ladies only speak Czech...

[PSJ]

Beat the crap out of all of them or demand the cash from the lady at the hostel desk. The person who is in charge really should help you with stuff like that, if they got any sense of justice at all.

So enough of off topic-ness.

I'm fuckin sick again, it's like the 7th time in less than a year my throat hurts and shit. I can't eat and i can barely drink or sleep, i can't do anything else than watching TV and staring out the window which sucks to because it rains like hell.

[gr3atfull]

This friday, we were suppose to go to rafting as an activity for our last year, but it got cancel because not enough people signed up. So, we decided to go to La Ronde (an amusement park). We asked our new principal, if we could. She said yes as long as a parent calls to tell her that we wont show up to school.

Today, that fucking fat bitch, came to us and she said that who ever doenst show up to school is getting kicked out. We were pissed. I mean, she said that we could, now she says no. WTF?!?!?! Some kids are saying that she cant kick us out, there is like 20 days left until the school ends.

I told my parents since last week that I was going to La Ronde and they said maybe as long as the school lets. I told them yes. But now the school changes its mind. I dont know if I should go have fun on Friday, face the consequences of get kicked out and then my parents not trusting me anymore, or go to school and be the only person that showed up to school but be a little angel to my parents and that fucking bitch.

Fuck that bitch liar. She should burn to hell with the school.

[The Heretic Azazel]

You should definitely go. You're only young once!

[Kraco]

You should at least try to coordinate with the others so that everybody would do the same thing. That would make it harder for the principal to do anything. Although it would be quite a nazi school to kick out for something like that. Especially since she gave conflicting information. Some lighter sanction seems more likely, if anything happens at all.

[Assertn]

Its......just an amusement park...

[XanBcoo]

I agree with Assertn, it's not that big a deal that you can't go. If it's that important to spend time with your classmates as a senior fun-day then try to organize it yourself. Don't let the school get in your way of having fun, but this kind of thing isn't worth it to rebel if you gotta face too many complications. If you do decide to skip class, I agree with Kraco. Make sure everyone is in on it. You will make a greater impression that way, and the repercussions might be less severe.

Stand up for yourself, but do it intelligently.

[The Heretic Azazel]

Stand up for yourself and STICK IT TO THE MAN! It's the principle of the thing. Go!

And in the unlikely event that she does, she can't kick you out for it. If she tries to do something, explain the situation to your parents and see if they'll help you. (in a school district, complaining parents are a principal's worst nightmare)

[PSJ]

Its......just an amusement park...

The first thought i had when i read all this.

Amusement parks suck, just stay home and watch tv or something.

[gr3atfull]

^^ The point is not just to skip school... The point was to do a last activity with all the grade 11. This is our final year. For many of us, we have been together since kindergarden and this ismore than 10 years. We might got to an amusement park. But there is some chances that it rains. We decided to go do paintball. But, I still have to convince my parents. All this trouble because of that bitch.

[gr3atfull]

Update.

Just great. I tried to convince my parents, but I couldn’t since they talked with the principal of the school. She said that no matter how many students are in the class, there will still be classes.


...... explain the situation to your parents and see if they'll help you. (in a school district, complaining parents are a principal's worst nightmare)

I tried to convince them but failed. Plus, my dad is a teacher and he is ALWAYS on the school side.

Now, I am at school. We are 5 in class (We are originally 33). This morning we were 10, but 5 people left since they only wanted to come in the morning just to say hey we showed up but I have a rendez-vous now, so I have to leave. But they are really going do paintball.

The problem is that the teachers are still continuing the classes. When the people are going to come back, I will be harassed by my friends and classmates to explain them what they missed, and I am not able to say no.

Plus, the physic/chemistry teacher said that if we staid until 2:30. We would have 5 marks more directly in the report card in physic and chemistry. So I have to stay at school continue the classes while others are at paintball.

I seriously don’t know if I am supposed to be happy to be at school and get 5 extra % or be sad that I am not going to do paintball. I guess I wont be doing any activity with my grade after all. Fuck that bitch.

[Kraco]

She said that no matter how many students are in the class, there will still be classes.
Well, that's pretty much given, if the recreational event (day) isn't sanctioned by the school. The teachers would be skipping work if they weren't there to continue the classes. And that would be worse than student skipping classes.


I seriously don’t know if I am supposed to be happy to be at school and get 5 extra % or be sad that I am not going to do paintball. I guess I wont be doing any activity with my grade after all. Fuck that bitch.
It must suck, but still in the end if it wasn't an official day off, it wouldn't have been technically anything but skipping. And if that had caused you problems not only with the school but also with your parents, it's a good question if it had been worth it in the long run. Studying is a student's work, and in a sense skipping it shouldn't be any different than an employee skipping work, which is certainly frowned upon.

Yeah. Life just sucks sometimes, and not everything ever goes as planned.

I'm sorry but what kind of pussy are you? If they harass you stand up for yourself and tell them that you won't give them all the notes for everything they missed. You could always tell them to pay for it *devilish grin*

It is okay. I know its sounds like I am one. But you see, my friends and classmates are really nice. I mean, when they see me and my brother waiting for the bus, they would give me a ride even though its not on their way. When they go out for lunch, they would bring me a little treat. When I am absent (which is really really rare), they would take my notes for me.
But now, I mean they missed school purposely (sp?). And I even text message them to tell them that the school is still on, and they are missing classes. They said, its okay youll help me out.....

Oh, that's not true, if you consider the timeline. It was already too late, so I tried to give a couple of points to explain it couldn't be helped. Of course that's a weak condolence. But I think even a weak condolence is better than saying: "You suck because you didn't do it." That never helps.

[gr3atfull]

@ PSJ:
Sorry. I guess I was really pissed yesterday. Yesterday night, I saw them. They offered to pay me so that I lunch time I could explain them what they missed. I still didnt accept since I feel its wrong. I guess its just me, since I am sure anyone would accept it.

umm... Is it just me or does every one thinks I am a guy?

[Kraco]

Ho... I surely did think so. You are not?

Well, I suppose the combination of your avatar image and the rough language of the original post made me think so. And add to that the talk about skipping school. Of course girls can skip school just as well as boys, but I think statistically guys might be doing it more.

[gr3atfull]

I dont talk like that usually, except when I am realy pissed and mad. And I was in my previous posts. I guess that is what happens when you have guy friends since you are young. And the part with guys skipping more than girls, that isnt really true at my school. Girls are becoming rebels at my school.

And i would have accepted the money for giving them info, if they offer it you should just take it, it's not like you asked them to pay you. But that's just me i guess i'm a bit greedy.

[Honoko]

50 yr old spoiled brats in my neighborhood. I'd wish they'd all die :mad: I hate how they all assume that the world revolves around them and their designer bags. Bah!

[2:25]

I'm a tad bit more upset then pissed.

I've been asked to help a research study by surveying people. I really don't care when they ignore me, nor do I care if they don’t want to participate in the survey. However I do care, if someone suddenly says “Fuck you” to me, which was exactly what happened today.

I also got this angry old guy who was accusing me of discrimination.
Him: "Why are you asking me? Why didn't you pick her?”
Me: "Sir, I'm trying to do a random sample by asking every third person who walks by."
Him: "Well, there just went three people. Why didn't you ask any of them?" and he keeps on screaming at me while I stand there thinking why I couldn't approach them was cause I have to listen to him.

Oh well, it was only 2 people out of the 1005 that I approached and I still have two more days left to gather data.

[Kraco]

Sometimes I think these days you should be happy nobody punches or stabs you for approaching them as a stranger. There are all kinds of drug users and other wicked people around. Words can hurt, but at least they don't make you lose any blood or teeth.

[DB_Hunter]

Yeah man some people are screwed in the head and probably high on something... I don't think its worth getting all worked up over stuff like this. Best thing to do is just move on and not let it get you down.

[dragonrage]

Ah the day that I have been fearing for weeks now has come. It is once again time to re-join the work force. Not only that, I have to complete a training program while working. But it is something that I am interested in learning and i don't want to pass it up while i can do it. This is going to seriously cut into my Gotwoot time, sadly for a while. I know you F$^%*#@ won't miss me. But I will drop by atleast once a day maybe 10-15 minutes and then there is always time on the weekends maybe.

Hemmm, this is going to affect "THE CREW", maybe. Then again I always do my best or worst which ever one is more fun at the time.

In case you are wondering what i am training to become................. Nah i am not gonna tell you, but here is a hint when you are buying, selling or refinancing a house, I or someone like me will be involved.

i.e. When I am buying my own house I know exactly who to call. Myself.:D

F&$#^&# late hours, I just got home and its time to sleep, for normal people (not me).

[Psyke]

I wish I can get a car right now. My new work place is a protected installation, and I can't take a cab in. So I gotta take a bus and walk 20 minutes in, and that's after a check by the security. I gotta wake up early and go back late because of this....

If not for my upcoming apartment which is going to cost me deep (as well as my wife who's not so keen on spending more money now), I'll get a car today.....

For the unenlightened, Singapore is one of the costiest place in the world to own a car, due to our limited size and high population density. Traffic at peak hours is a killer too. It's usually said that cars are a liability here, but when you need convenience you have to pay the price for it. :(

[drims]

2:25... I had to do a research project for goverment last year and it is a pain in the ass to get people to answer some simple questions, and but fortunately, no one was rude to me.

On too the bitching....Appearances Can Be Deceiving (http://spikedhumor.com/articles/12776/Appearances_Can_Be_Deceiving.html)
I cant believe this is happening...

[Deadfire]

Alright Rant time DF style

So unless you haven’t heard I’m current taking collage, and it has been making me get back in to this whole school thing again (I had not been in school for 2-3 year before this) But this is not a rant about that, It’s about how I hate my cities transit system (The bus system my city has)

Some background information is that my collage is Downtown, and those parking lots that do exist, cost a lot more per month (plus gas) to make it worth it to drive there as well. So being a poor student I am, I decided to take my local public bus system. Now it isn’t that bad I walk for about 10 mins and take only one bus to where I’m going. However that bus ride can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on conditions. Sitting on that bus for that long sucks but I can deal with it, more or less I just can’t stand the people around me.

First the bus drivers, seriously how hard is your job that you can’t show at least some kindness?. I have missed the bus because it’s passed my stop (Of course me standing there almost jumping up and down for them to see me) I have been denied getting on a Bus because I was less then a foot away from the door when he stopped to get other people. I have even had a case in which a Bus driver had the nerve to deny me getting on the bus because he thought my bus pass was fake saying I didn’t look like a student. I should also note that getting off the bus can be hard as they sometimes miss those same stops I try to get off at.

Second those random people that either try to converse with me or get me to agree with them in something I’m not a part of. Listen I don’t know you, I don’t care what you want, shut the heck up and move on. I’ve had times I’m just sitting there reading my text book and a person beside me tries to read it, and starts talking about it. Seriously what the fuck do you want from me?

Third are those idiots with cell phones. Stop talking so god damn loud about how you’re sitting in a bus with people. I’ve had people talk loudly on their cell phones explaining the people in the bus and what it’s doing min by min. I’m sure they pointed out the worthless information about what was outside the bus too. Frankly I don’t mind you talking on your cell phone but if you need to start shouting into the phone get a new one or get the fuck off the bus. I’m not even bring up the time one person insulted me to the person on his cell phone thinking I couldn’t hear it. Needless to say, that’s not going to happen again. Also stop playing with your ring tones on the bus! Holy crap this annoys me to no end. You fail at life.

Four are those that think their music is so cool that everyone in the bus needs to hear it. I got news for you, First your Music sucks, second I’m very sure I don’t care , and third when a person tells you to turn it down, you do it instead of telling me I have no taste in good music (How you can say mainstream Rap or EMO is good is beyond me) and ignore me. Your fucking iPod is going out the window next time you do this.

Fifth are those people that take up either 2 seats for their tiny asses, Block the alleyway inside the bus so they can be close to their friends or other wise make me stand like a jack ass when there is seating I could be sitting on. Like what the hell, me asking you to “move” means move god damn it. Not tell me there is no more room.

Sixth are those that think it’s cool to bring their animal on to the bus, This is so moronic that I’m not even going to start on it

Seventh are the Bums or hobos that beg for money ON the bus. I mean WTF you had money to get on so you could beg for more? This confuses me more then it makes me hate them

That’s about it, that I can think of right now, I only hope people that board that bus could read this

[/Rant]

If you don't want to read this I can sum it up by saying I hate people

[KitKat]

Haha, DF, so true! I take public transportation a lot and have encountered all the kinds of people you mentioned (with the exception of people begging for money on the bus/train which I never encountered until I came to LA...these people sometimes also assault the air around them by the sheer strength of odour they emit). There are also the crazy people you sometimes see on the bus, who mutter under their breath, or sometimes louder than that, and sometimes follow poor unsuspecting KitKat until she is forced to employ all her skills of evasion and running away to lose them. Ok, so maybe that only happened once, and it was on the streets of Glasgow, but there are plenty of crazy people on the bus.

[Tommy_Salami]

DF i would sudgest taking up biking, it is a great way to stay in decent shape i used to bike and hour to school and i still dont drive a car.

[DB_Hunter]

Lol KitKat it happened to you in the UK? What were you doing up in Glasgow, that area is known to be rough...

Well actually down here in London there was a guy who was travelling with his g/f on a bus one evening and this dude comes up to the top floor of the bus, eating his chips (potatoe fries... the fat ones). Then he starts chucking them at people... he throws them at either this guy or his g/f, can't remember which, or maybe both... the guy asks him to stop throwing his crap around... the dude throwing the crap gets up and stabs the guy. So now this guy is bleeding and injured and his g/f is visbly freaked out. The stabbed guy tries to catch this arsehole, but he is losing too much blood and eventually doesn't have the strength to hold on. Needless to say the wacko who stabbed him runs off the bus. Sadly the dude who got stabbed died later that night.

[Terracosmo]

That is the funniest fucking thing I have EVER seen.

Props to you drims!

lmao @ Ethnic Cleansing game

"You go around shooting blacks and mexicans"

I can't believe someone would ever find that stimulating

Imagine actually taking the time to program that

[The Heretic Azazel]

It stimulates a strong individual racial identity, obviously!

[XanBcoo]

I remember an article about those singing racist twins being posted here a long time ago. Wow...

Also, @Deadfire: I agree with the part of your rant concerning cellphones and people listening to music (I've bitched about that before in this thread too :p). A lot of people using public transportation can just be jackasses. It's even worse on long bus journies, where you're squashed next to someone you don't know, want to take a nap, but they can't take the hint that you want them to stop shouting on their cell phone.

[Lefty]

DF I feel your pain. I too had to take a bus to collage. I always seemed to attract the religous people who wnat to convert you, the mentaly challaged person who dosn't get the fact you don't want to talk, or the crazies that tell me that their socks are trying to eat his shoes. But I have to say your system sucks for skipping a bus stop wiht a person at it regardless of how close you are to the crub.

[ChaosK]

50 yr old spoiled brats in my neighborhood. I'd wish they'd all die :mad: I hate how they all assume that the world revolves around them and their designer bags. Bah!

50 yr olds? Are you shitting me?

And for my portion of bitching: the stomach virus fucking sucks. I've been throwing up for almost two days now and haven't eaten anything that can actually fill me up. :(

[dragonrage]

i just found out that black lagoon is only 12 fucking episodes long. Fan fucking tastic, two of the anime i ejnoy is coming to an end. Boy am i ever having a shitty day, this is just the icening on top of the pile of shit that is called sunday june 4th.

[Psyke]

This clip might be a little old, but it made a big stir in Hong Kong where it happened. A guy tapped an old uncle on his shoulder as he was talking too loudly on his mobile phone on the bus. See what happens to him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSHziqJWYcM

Take note: this is a rare case and Hong Kong Chinese are definately not uncivilised. Well maybe some of the older generation are, but most Hong Kongers are educated enough not to talk like this man in public.

This man got so famous he got on the front page of a top HK tabloid magazine.

LOL. That guy doesn't get it at all... it's incredible enough that the video was subbed in two languages

[naruto=pwnage]

I fucking want a job and my parents won't let me. goddamnit all to hell...

[Yukimura]

I hate dogs! Specifically the dog whose shit i've been cleaning up the last two weeks. I also hate middle-aged people (35-50) with children, specifically people one child that has grown up who act like my mother and decide they need some new thing to nurture once their child is gone. Case in point, Kadera, a half Poodle, half Terrier, all cute, annoying little shit factory.

When you think about it most domesticated dogs don't even have lives, they just eat, sleep, shit, and generally sit around all day bored and dejected...kinda like me. But at least I have stuff to do to entertain myself, my new sister (yes my mom called her that) just sits in different places and sleeps. Maybe she's content with her life, idk but I also don't give a fuck. What I do care about is how my mom spoils the dog and how our particular dog is unable to learn the association between I'm taking you outside and SHIT YOU STUPID WASTE OF LIFE ENERGY! The dog seems to shit and pee as soon as everyone leaves the house, no matter when this is, but if I take her outside she either just runs around and smells everything or stares at me.

I realize she is a dog and thus is potentially comperable to a comatose retarded person in intelligence, however there are some smart dogs who learn to go outside and use the bathroom instead of chasing cars and staring at people who want to donate them to the nice Chinese restauraunt down the street. This brings me to my next bitching point...Middle aged people with empty nest syndrome! STOP GETTING DOGS AND MAKING YOUR CHILDREN TAKE CARE OF THEM!

It's amazing how fast parents can become kids again when their own children are gone. Taking responsibility for your possesions is part of having posessions, but it has dawned on me that having one posession take care of another might still metaphysically count as taking responsibility. Great, now I don't even have the sliver of moral highground I had when I started this rant..FUCK YOU quick reply this is all your fault. And you too inexplicably jittering laptop screen, wtf is this shit!

One more thing, being a chauffer without a shutter is the most irritating feeling i've ever experianced. The idea that i'm literally just a part of a mechanical beast of burden smashes against my individual ego like a tidal wave. I find myself thinking more and more like a chauffer every day. Arrive, get out, help mom out of car, get her bag, remember when she tells me when to pick her up, wonder how the fuck i'm going to find my way out of wherever she's asked to be taken, and finally get back in the car and marvel at my situation.

To wrap it up, don't get dogs! They probobly don't want to be alive anyway since they have crappy lives in captivity so why not put them down? Definately keep the more goal oriented breeds like Bloodhounds, Beagles and other go get em types though, the create their own purposes. But the ones that are just for show and don't have any usefullness other than to sit'n'shit...well we could use the biomatter for lots of other stuff, like fertalizer, low cost food for more helpful meat eaters, bacteria cultures, stem cell research, whatever. In conclusion, I don't hate dogs, just usless dogs and dogs attached directly attached to my family.

[masamuneehs]

lol at Yuk, I think that's a pretty silly thing too... However I have something different about dogs to bitch about, something almost exclusive to Bologna (and maybe other Italian cities).

Now Bologna is an old city, very little green spaces in the old center, with parks being far away and almost no random little patches of grass or dirt or what have you.

Bologna is also a center of punkabestias (literallly translated as a 'punkbeast'), a bunch of lazy self-proclaimed anarchists who live out on the street, wear the same leather outfits and dirty piercings everyday and beg for handouts or sell bunk drugs in order to buy beer or whatever. Oh, they also have at least one dog each (hence the term 'bestia') and these dogs also live out on the street with them.

Finally, Italians, at least the Bolognese, seem to think that it is absolutely disgusting and totally filthy to touch feces.

Add these things and, well you can imagine, there will be randomn turds all over the place.

You guys conquered half the world, gave us the movie Gladiator, revolutionized architercture, gave us Michelangeo and Da Vinci as well as countless other legendery people and feats: LEARN TO CURB YOUR FUCKING DOGS

That's right folks, the people of Bologna do not pick up after their pooch. In fact I have seen only one, I repeat ONE, woman bending her little butt over to remove a piece of Fido's Alpo aftermath from a major sidewalk.

The Bolognese have come up with all these little superstitions (the italians are big on insanely weird superstitions) to make the plethora of poop clogging the streets into a joke or some kind of acceptable phenomenon:

"If you're about to meet up with a girl for the first date and you step in dog poop on the way there it means the date will go well."

"If you step in poop while holding something you just bought it means you will never lose it."

"If you go a year without stepping in poop you will start to become French."

I've even overheard the Bolognese talking about the subject. Here's how the exchange went.

"Alcune sono troppo maleducate!" Some (people) are so unrefined!
"Che cazzo dici?" What (the fuck) are you saying?" (obviously younger kids)
"Ieri andavo a via Castiglione e visto un tipo raccogliendo la merda del suo cane!" (Yesterday I was going down Castiglione street and saw a guy picking up the shit from his dog!)
"Che volgore! La merda?" How gross! The shit?
"La merda! Credi?" The shit. (Can) you believe?
"Toccare la merda e nausente, ma la merda di cane di piu!" (Touching shit is disgusting/nauseating, but the shit of dog even more.

I want to be able to walk down just one street and not need to watch out for Lassie's landmines. The person who starts the 'curb your dog' movement in Bologna will be my hero (though probably hated by the Bolognese)...

[Winged Dancer]

At least the dogs don't aim for the walls. A friend of mine lives in a very small town within the city (there are hundreds of small towns within Mexico city, but you'd swear you're in the middle of nothing as soon as you walk in) and the stray dogs there somehow manage to get lumps of shit all over the walls.

Also,



"If you go a year without stepping in poop you will start to become French."


LOL

[kooshi]

After almost a whole year of a crappy Internet connection, I finally snapped today. After a lot of cursing and punching my desk, I ended up with a big headache, very sore hands, and a crappy Internet connection. Since I'm not living at home, I can't fiddle around with the router at all, especially since this is a wireless connection and the router is upstairs. I can't complain since my landlord will most likely claim that nothing's wrong and/or would get mad at me.
How crappy can my Internet connection be? For starters, we all know that anime torrents are usually around 20 - 30 kB. Well, this morning, it took me a whole minute just to download one. Just one fucking 20 kB torrent! In World of Warcraft, my latency would be at an average of 2000 ms (how shitty is that). Usually, I can bear with it, even though my commands would be slower than usual, but what really pisses me off is that from time to time, my Internet would disconnect me from the server for about 30 - 60 seconds, resulting in my death about 90% of the time.
My Internet connection isn't always like this (thank goodness!!!), but when it does get crappy, damn, it becomes so fucking crappy that 56k modems (or whatever they're called) seem like a blessing. I think that this happens about once every 1 - 2 weeks.

[Edort4]

In some earlier post here I stated that I hate people. Now I have to point that I really hate ungrateful people (I dont lack hatred at all).

Is the world filled with ungrateful people or is it just that all of them appear in my way to make my life miserable? Im not a very kind person but even I sometimes do some "good" things. Today on the urderground I was getting my tickey and a girl was trying to take hers, but seemed that she only had 1 coin and the machine kept giving it back. So I told her to take one of mines, she accepted, looking at me as if I was a delincuent or something. She took her ticket and left without even saying thanks. If im not worthy of gratitude why is my money different?

Also today I connected to the msn and an old friend without saying hello or long time no seen asked me if I could help her with her internet conection. She wanted to do a network of 3 pcs with a hub. I stayed connected like 1 hour explaining how to do it step by step. Then I told her that I had a date and I was already late. She told me to explain one part again so I did it (I already was a bit angry, but this girl is one of my weakness, even if she does this kind of things I have to adore her). In the middle of the explanation she sais: I have to leave, tomorrow I will call a technique to make the network, bye. And disconnects just like that.

And this was just today. If I help those people I always end feeling cheated and if I dont help them (wich happens very often) I feel guilty. Not with strangers, but aquitances and "friends" are the worst ones by far.

@Kooshi: That sucks how much do you pay for that "great" connection? Here I pay 45€/month for a connection of 1mb/300kbs when other companies give 20mb/2mb for 29€/month but they dont give coberture in my area (and thats now, until 2006 it was 512/128 for the same price) and this company is still the biggest one by far, f..king timofonica.

edit: anyways, life sucks when you have no choice, but to show your cousin around. luckily, one of my friends tagged along to suffer along with me. seriously, a good waste of a beautiful night that could be spent in the city, grabbed a bite to eat, then she wanted to check out the mall, killed a few hours there, then we all went home. this wouldn't have been a problem, if she wasn't such a.. what's the word that i'm looking for.. bitch? she's done nothing, but criticize and bitch about everything about myself, when she really doesn't know me at all. hopefully, this is the last time i'll ever see her.

[XanBcoo]

I'm so sick and tired of shitty horror movies today. Fuck "The Omen" fuck "The Hills Have Eyes" fuck "Final Destination" and every other corny-ass "scary movie" with a piss-poor plot and terrible acting that relies only on shock tactics and gore. It wouldn't be so bad if these movies didn't take themselves so seriously.

[masamuneehs]

my parents are in town for the next few days (and have been, one of the reasons I've not been around. Did you all miss me? No? Didn't think so... anyway...) so of course being the only person who speaks even a lick of Italian I have to show them around and all that jazz.

Now I can't complain about everything. I get to stay in a nice hotel rather than my rented room (where about a month ago it dawned on me that we don't have AC) and I get some seriously awesome dinners paid for by the 'rents.

But on the other hand, I get sick of them doing the big American tourist thing. I've spent six months in this town proving to myself and to the people here that not all Americans are tourists, that we can actually try to understand different cultures and customs. Now my parents come into town and I'm forced to use my Italian to ask people to take a family picture of us in front of all the tourist sights. How embarrassing, I'm just a big tourist after all...

And then there's them relying on me as translator. The ridiculous things they make me ask, even after I explain to them that things work differently here (and Bologna isn't a real tourist town so they're not always in the mood to oblige your foreign taste) is downright embarassing for me to say.

But if I don't act as a translator then they (my dad especially) will just try to do it on his own. Speaking mostly in English with pointed hand gestures like he's talking to some dog, mispronouncing and misusing any and every italian word i've taught him.

Why are most Americans just woefully unable to deal with the outside world?

[Kraco]

Come on, man. You are just in a special situation, having lived there for half a year, and having tried to integrate a bit. Your parents, however, what else could they be than ordinary tourists when they come to visit another country, especially one like Italy? Tourists do what tourists do for a reason. And there will always be natives who don't like tourists, no matter how well they behaved (what ever well behaving means for tourists), but also there are always citizens who are pleased that people from other countries come all the way to have a look around (and bring some hard cash with them).

[Carnage]

Woops. Sorry for the double post :p

[Carnage]

Fuck. Fuckity Fuckity Fuck. Just a few days ago I learned that unless you have corperate edition, theres a limit to how many times I'm allowed to reformat my computer. Well, I just hit the limit and now Windows is telling me my copy is nolonger genuine and that I have to activate windows with a new key. So I downloaded something off newnova.org that came with like 6 keygens, a bunch of`read-me files with lists of keys (though alot of them probably have been already used), two programs to change my key, and like 5 cracks. I try using the key gens and putting in new keys when I activate windows, but Windows finds that they are not genuine either. So then I tried a patch to get rid of "You must Activate Windows within the next _ days". It turns out that the patch doesnt really get rid of it, but whenever I double click on "activate windows" the entire thing fills itself out with a bunch of X's then closes itself. Thats fine and dandy but the problem for me is that the "Activate Windows" still reappears everytime I log on on. And now my trial has ended and windows wont let me log back onto my user unless I activate windows, and because of the patch, I cant even do that because when I click on "yes, activate windows" the entire thing just freezes and I have to close out of it leaving me back to the log-on screen. Now all I can do is go into safe-mode. Now I have to get a friend to help me get rid of the patch. This is all very annoying:mad: . (I've been typing all this on my dad's laptop). I just hope this is all fixed before the next GWS event (It probably will be).

[Yukimura]

@ masa: To answer your question, it's because we aren't used to needing special skils when we travel. America is comperable to all of europe in size, so most types of vacation spot can be found within our borders. You wann ski go to Colorado, you want a tan go to Hawaii or Florida. After a life of vacationing within your own country, you get conditioned into a tourist mentality that doesn't include foriegn languages or special customs, just don't talk about the Yankees in Boston, is pretty much all you need to know. Then you plop some American down in Europe, and they'll usually fall into 'vacation mode', not 'European vacation mode' their bound to act like just flew in to St. Louis. One the one hand we are conditioned to behave as we do, on the other the solution would be to go outside the country more for vacation...which is expensive.

[XanBcoo]

And then there's them relying on me as translator. The ridiculous things they make me ask...
God, that reminds me of when my family and I drove to Mexico. We spent the day in a busy town, walking most of the time with me being the most capable Spanish speaker of us. I quit this "job" when my mom asked me to tell this guy it was his fault for her backing into his car.

On an unrelated note, floods and massive rainstorms suck.

well the one i use to like. but he took too long to make a move. yes you could argue why didnt i make a move? but i guess i was caught up in that whole guy ask girl business, heck i still am. but yeah its just annoying that everytime i talk to him again old emotions stir cuz he's a great fella, top bloke. but what ever cuz its just like a really long passing infatuation sorta thing.
i hope.

[Death BOO Z]

well, my commanding officer is a poopyhead.
sure, it's not the first time that he has said or done something stupid and annoyning, and yet, the repeat is still... just so "Uhhh"

the story goes so, my father's workplace has a vacation planned for july from thursday mornning to mid sunday, so i asked the officer if he could release me at wensday evenning instead of thursday so i could get home and catch the plane with the rest of the family.
instead of saying "Sure thing, you'll take the last bus of the day, but you better enjoy the vacation" he started snorting out the conditioning "you have to prove yourself worthy and work hard so i could let you go", which is complete bull.
and moreso, he said that day would come off my vacation week, even though i would have done absaloutly nothing in those 12 hours between the last bus of wensday and the normal bus at thursday. it's also complete crap, becuase we all take the vacation week at the same time, while we switch into a diffrent base, but still, it's just stupid.

so i bitch.



and to a diffrent matter, a semi random survey of three girls and three guys revealed the all the girs and two of the guys think I am a scary person.
too bad i've passed my emo stage of my life a few years, I don't want to be scary. i want to be popular and loved.

and so i bitch.

[Kraco]

I don't want to be scary. i want to be popular and loved.

and so i bitch.

Yes, I can see how that could work out; bitching is known to make people popular and loved.

Hmm... Now, wait a moment...

:)

[Psyke]

I wish I can get a car right now. My new work place is a protected installation, and I can't take a cab in. So I gotta take a bus and walk 20 minutes in, and that's after a check by the security. I gotta wake up early and go back late because of this....

If not for my upcoming apartment which is going to cost me deep (as well as my wife who's not so keen on spending more money now), I'll get a car today.....

For the unenlightened, Singapore is one of the costiest place in the world to own a car, due to our limited size and high population density. Traffic at peak hours is a killer too. It's usually said that cars are a liability here, but when you need convenience you have to pay the price for it. :(

Update: I just got myself a car! But since this is a bitching thread...... I'll bitch about how I need to wait for 2 months before the car finally arrives from Japan. Lots of procedures to be done regarding the loan, which will take 10 years (!) to clear. But well, you know what they say.... when you buy a car you're actually buying time. Very true in my case. If you want to see how my car looks like you can click on the link to my blog, which you can find in my signature. :)

[RyougaZell]

2am of Monday morning.

Currently at the office.

Been here since Sunday at 8pm.

I want to die.

[dragonrage]

RZ, i really hope that they are compensating you for your time. Shesssh man WTF? But hey sometimes you gotta do stuff like that. I really hope things get better soon, I mean now.

[lisaa]

hmm.. something to bitch about..
WELL for starters, i hate racist people! :mad:
there so annoying and should go die, like AHHH it annoys me so much i want to punch them all.! i dont deal with racism much, but the the fact that there is racism in the world :mad: makes me angry.
Once when me and "msmush" were wagging school ( we were about 9 or 10 at the time) these 3 australian girls came up to us and stat going "CHING CHONG" repeatly, then they were like " GO BACK to your own country" screaming at us, we didn't know how to take it because we were so young yet they were like 15 or so. THEN they pulles down the pants and wacked there asses and were like " GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY" and other racist commentss!
AHHH i wish i could have punched them.! :mad: i would have done an awesome ' lisa rendan' to all three of them :mad:

[msmush]

ahh yess. i recall that terrible terrible time. twas so very bad wasnt it dear "lisaa"

[RyougaZell]

RZ, i really hope that they are compensating you for your time. Shesssh man WTF? But hey sometimes you gotta do stuff like that. I really hope things get better soon, I mean now.

Well, I left the office half an hour later. Didn't return until 3pm, instead of 8:30am.

But thats it. My contact states I need to come to the office whenever its needed, but no extra hours are being paid. They promised free days though.

[Lucifus]

hmm.. something to bitch about..
WELL for starters, i hate racist people! :mad:

And with that your various conscious comments contradicting/copy catting condescending character comparisons between yourself and the racist stereotype...............:cool:

Yea..........sorry about that, just watched V for Vendetta and I just had to do that. xD Hmm..C for Coolio.:D

But yea, racist people suck. =S

[Deadfire]

People who over use the smiles in their post making their point (as valid and right it is) utterly useless to look at and argee with.

I'm not going to name anyone...

not that you named anyone...shes a newbiie. and the smileys are cute. adds colour

[msmush]

oh nothing. just some people prefer posts without them i guess. its a pity in't it li li?

[lisaa]

smiles= extra effect
now i feel bad when i have smiles in my post, so i wont do them anymore

[Deadfire]

People who over use the smiles in their post

You can still use them, I just don't like when people use alot of them for no reason at all to do so.

IT's not you two either, your far from the point of others I know on other boards as well:)

Then you should import some!

[Assertn]

I used to use the old smileys. But using these new ones make me feel like a homosexual.:eek:

[RyougaZell]

And just you had to use that one? hehehe

[KitKat]

No matter how ugly the new forum smileys are, they don't come close to the hideousness of the AIM smileys. I switched to Trillian specifically because the AIM smileys bothered me so much.

[RyougaZell]

Talking about smileys and the like...
The Animated Smileys MSN allows are annoying.

[Kraco]

Aye, I fully agree. I have told a few people who used them that I will block them if they don't stop...

[dragonrage]

lol, from the topic in discussion, I have drawn this conclusion. You all just wanted something to bitch about and are bored, seriously bore.

On that note I hated the sound you had to listen to whenever a new massage was recieved while using AIM. I really hated it, so much so that i stopped using AIM.


But on to something different, Yesterday was the 4th of July and it rained. I love the rain, i really do, but when you are trying to light some illegal firework it really sucks. And well a few of the backyard parties that were in session had to be moved inside, Boy was it ever freaking humid!

not much to bitch about but there.

[RyougaZell]

Aye, I fully agree. I have told a few people who used them that I will block them if they don't stop...

Heh. Me too.
And I did block two or three.

I also hate cellphone tones, mine is always in mute.

[RedX1z]

aim is annoying, but some of those bastards on my list refuse to use msn, so basically i have no choice, but to disable the sounds.

msn all the way, for me.


Heh. Me too.
And I did block two or three.

I also hate cellphone tones, mine is always in mute.

the ones with lyrics or the one without lyrics, because i mainly hate the rap ones with lyrics, so gay, yet people think it's gangster..

[RyougaZell]

both
because the only-sound (whatever you call them) are annoying and the ones with lyrics because people choose the stupidest things, like Homer calling you a f*cking drunkard and to answer the phone

hope the guy that has that one gets a call during church or a job meeting

[ChaosK]

I suppose thats why they refer to you as the dumbass huh, you DO know that you can simply TURN OFF the sounds right?....what? it didin't occur to you? Oh I see.

[Assertn]

aim, irc, and forums are all pretty annoying...

"I wish I could QUIT yoouuuuuu"

[Genma]

My dad keeps bustin' my cajones to get a job. Every morning I wake up and he's like, "How many applications did you fill out yesterday? What, one!? Argggh! Stop spending so much time with your friends! I don't care if it's your last summer until college! Get a job!"

Once I get a job and turn 18, he's probably going to start asking for rent.

... It sucks. :(

[complich8]

if you're going to college in the fall, it's already too late to get a job -- at least a decent one. It takes like a month to get people trained and certified at most jobs ... it's already july, college starts at the end of august. You'd get maybe 3 good weeks of real work in. Nobody wants to deal with the hassle of hiring someone and training them only to have them quit in a month or so.

Of course, if you're not going to college, you've got nothing to be bitching about, and you need to get a fuckin' job ya slacker!

[ChaosK]

Compy as a point, it's actually probably too late for even a bad job like at a supermarket or something. Nobody wants to hire you for only a month or so and send you off.

[Genma]

Oh guys, you misunderstood.

I'm actually going to a community college close to home, which leaves plenty of space for a part-time job. It's still ridiculous... I've put in 6 applications and haven't received one phone call back.

Regardless, my dad has upped his anger and frustration about it. Sometimes I think he'll like... beat me up in my sleep or something. @_@;

[Terracosmo]

Your dad is similar to how my mom occasionally is. Much like myself, she has frequent mood-swings, and one day she will be like "It's okay son, you'll find a job, I believe and support you", and the next one she'll suddenly be like "WHAT THE FUCK, DON'T YOU HAVE A JOB YET GODDAMNIT I'VE RAISED YOU ANDBLAÖSLÖAKLFKFSF THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME YOU =R)="¤="" etc

It's funny.

[Mr Squiggles]

You guys should move to calgary. everyone is desperate for jobs right now. It's soooo easy getting hired :)

I spent 8 months looking for a job, until one offer finally was made.

Its been 10 months since that.

[The Heretic Azazel]

So...she's a lesbian, yet still your girlfriend...Gender confusion? :confused:

No bisexual people in your country?

I think she's going to break up with me for her ex

It makes the most sense since women couldnt possibly love someone who doesn't hit them or treat them like shit.

[Yukimura]

It makes the most sense since women couldnt possibly love someone who doesn't hit them or treat them like shit.

This is really only true for women under 30.

[el_boss]

I want to right more in these glorious forums, but I have nothing to write about. :(

[dragonrage]

Have any of you all ever begin to dispise someone you respected, admired and wanted to be be really good friends with. Recently that has happened to me. I still don't know the reason why, but the has been an unsettling feeling between us or maybe it is just me. I don't know but whatever people grow apart, i guess that this has been one of my shortest friendships. damn.

It really sucks though.

[KitKat]

It's been a while since I've been this annoyed. Forum trolls annoy me, but trolls in games annoy me even more. I just had the most terrible experience in Guild Wars from picking up two random people that made it their mission to annoy the crap out of the group and sabotage it in any way possible. Our annoyance only added to their amusement I'm sure. Even after we ditched them, they managed to sneak back into our group under different character names and sabotage it a second time. That stings the pride a bit, after we thought we'd escaped. One of them was named Mage...a coincidence I find amusing myself. Anyways, live and learn. I'm slowly adding to my blacklist. It doesn't just include individuals anymore. I've extended it to guilds. If you piss me off in GW, your whole guild is going on the blacklist. Fear the wrath of KitKat!

[Lefty]

This deals with a freind from collage who has this horrible habbit of being over fucking ocnfident about his skills in film, wait I mean vidoe since its the only fucking thing he's ever shot on. He thinks he's fucking speilberg, or scoursese(granted he hates taxi driver, somthing I consider a phopa). Ths kid has an ego the size of the sun. He has this delusion that he can go to LA and magically becoem a director in a matter of one or two years. Bullshit, he has to pay his dues as a lowly grip/ or a PA to a producer then work his way up. This kid will not do anyhting outside his immediate job discription, which on an indi set is fucked up sicne crew sizes are small and everyone needs to chip in on moving shit.

Wow I can tell your pissed because you have made so many typos lol. But then I hate people who are like that, I have a friend who thinks he can draw anime really good, but he sucks ass. Okay my turn to bitch ;)

Okay our school is putting a dress code into effect which is pointless and stupid.

Men:
1. Collared shirts and buttoned shirts only
2. Tuck in collered shirt or buttoned chirt
3. Pants cant go pass ankles (stupid, because im not gonna look like Steve Erkle or whatever, plus no one is following that) (School is ghetto)
4. No logos not to exceed most of shirt and same thing with pants
5. No holes and rips on jeans and collered shirts.

Women:
1. No revealing clothes (MOTHER OF GOD!)
2. No tight pants (SOB)
3. No short skirts (SOB)
4. and same as #4 and #5 (OMG)
5. Bra can't be seen (No more saying god in vein)
6. No emblems, playboy bunnies, or anything that is interacted with sex logos (Hugh Hefner is screwed) (J/K)

Well thats all I have to say except for white guys who try to be black!

Edit: Might as well fucken wear uniforms or not.

[Kirai no Tenshi]

I'll give this a try, shall I?

I really hate the way that, now that I need help the most, all my past "friends" have better things to do than even talk to me.
I really hate the way that the only way I can deal with my own emotions is to pretend that they are not bothering me.
I really hate the way that my parents are seperating,
I really hate the way that politics has torn my family apart.
I really hate the way that the world has chewed me up and spat me out.
I really hate the way that my extended family barely acknowledge my existence.
I really hate the way that all my attempts to help a past friend are being stonewalled.
I really hate the way that, around the world, people are dying because no one really cares.
I really hate the way that I can't find the motivation to put everything I hate into words.
I really hate the way I hate enough for this forum name to be appropriate.

[complich8]

I'm pissed off. Spending 10-16 hours a day at a computer for the last ... err, 7 years, I guess... I've started to develop RSI problems. My right hand hurts and doesn't feel right.

What's worse, I can't really do much else, 'cause ... hands are important! I mean, what can you do for fun that doesn't involve your hands? Except for passive stuff, watching movies, watching tv, watching anime.

I'm going to stop typing now and go watch things at random, and hate how I'm stuck with passive entertainment models.

[Deadfire]

Well I guess I'll jump on this as well and explain my very boring life

6:00-7:30 AM: Wake Up Call (I normally don't wake up untill 6:30ish) and the process to get to school which can take almost a hour to get too.
7:30 AM-12:30 PM: school
12:30-2:00PM I have to take the ride back to home get my stuff and eat something to get to work for 2
2:00-10:00 PM Work my ass off


As you can see that every week day of this drives me nuts. I'm so tired I can't focus on anything like school, gotwoot, or any of the projects I want to work on. I'm falling behind in studying, and everything. I've been really sick for 2 weeks, and I think I'm recovering now but I still don't feel 100%. When I do have time I'm found trying to sleep or looking at the last events I missed. I can't stop working as I need the money. as well I need to take School. My hours can't be cut down as it's back to school season and we have like 3 Techs that work.

And you know I'd like to find one of those girlfriends people talk about...

there, there..Well i hope that you felt better after this. Trust me you are not as alone as you think you are. And this type of stuff really shows you who your real friends. are.

Life isn't fair, nor do I think it knows the meaning. You just have to keep your head up and look toward a bright future. Atleast that is what I think.

My advice to you is to give palm and palmela a rest :p . Seriously that really sucks, but again I am sure your not alone on that one. You just have to get some help for your hands, wrist support, specialized mouse pad, keyboard pad that sorta stuff, though I am sure I am preaching to the wrong person.

Life sucks, what can you say. But it gets better.

[Kraco]

I've been really sick for 2 weeks, and I think I'm recovering now but I still don't feel 100%.
You are starting to get better only now? Damn, I thought you were fully healed already. I have never been sick for more than a few days, and so I can't even imagine what it's like to be ill for 2 weeks... I hope you indeed are recorvering now. Although I doubt your round the clock busy life style much helps that...


I've started to develop RSI problems. My right hand hurts and doesn't feel right.
I got myself a 451-Universal Wrist Support (http://mcdavidusa.com/wristsupports.html), as all the info about the inevitability of RSI were saturating the news some years ago. Unless you have already tried one of these, you can't even imagine how nice and really effective they are. Whilst this is hardly a cure, I strongly believe it can postpone problems and slow down the development of the problem.

[Yukimura]

@ Kraco: How do those thingys help your wrists? There's a woman at my office who for some reason can't use one of her hands, she wears a similar rig on the other wrist but it doesn't appear to be medical.

Anyway, to bitching! Websense...I hate you! If you don't know, Websense is basically the buisness version of the V-chip used by server admins in all the offices i've worked in to keep me from the sites I want to visit while i'm pretending to be working! From what I understand, the makers put websites into categories and the user has the choice to block any particular categories they feel shouldn't be accessed at work. Obviously Games has been axed everywhere I've been, but some other categories are listed here Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Websense) and here Company's Site (http://www.websense.com/global/en/ProductsServices/MasterDatabase/URLCategories.php). My favorite beef is the Tasteless category, which is generally blocked. Who is some shmuck in San Diego to decide what is or isn't 'tasteless' for me. Anyway i'm sure this shit does increase productivity a little, but if you aren't planning to work, you'll find something to distract you, even if it isn't your first choice. I am typing this post while at work, for instance, and I think I first discovered Gotwoot while at work 2 years ago. I was also being blocked from game sites at that job and I'd read all the days news. (so if any of you don't like me, blame WebSense).

On another note, I'm irritated by crack searching sites as well. Maybe i'm just not cool enough to find the ones without viruses and other garbage hiding around every corner (fortunately WebSense also allows you to block sites they've deemed to be loaded with Malicious Software...for an extra fee) but all I want is a crack, does the stupid site really have to throw in a million viruses at me if they're going to give me the crack anyway?

PS: Fuck you randomimage.net, way to change up your system so my rotating sigs don't work anymore, I really liked the no heads up before my link became usless.

[Knives122]

UGH!!! I had to fucking wake up at 6:30 this morning get ready to go to school. This day alone I have to stay there from 10 to 5(I feel like I'm working). And I have to carry 5 big ass books in my backpack that make me look like a freshmon from highschool.

When the hell are they coming out with those suicide machines I've been hearing about?

[Terracosmo]

My girlfriend would rather have sex with a little 15 year old skank slut she met here than me

How old is your girlfriend?

Also with "here" I first thought you meant on GW, lol XD

[Kraco]

@ Kraco: How do those thingys help your wrists? There's a woman at my office who for some reason can't use one of her hands, she wears a similar rig on the other wrist but it doesn't appear to be medical.

That's a good question. And whilst I don't have any official info, I can throw a few guesses based on my ~4 years of experience.

1) It supports the wrist physically, which is a very big factor when you think about using a mouse. Despite a mousepad with a wrist support, you partly need to exert a muscle tension to keep your hand in a correct position, especially when you are moving the mouse. The wrist support at least partially removes the need for a tension, as it's somewhat stiff itself. Aye, the thing is not some flimsy strap of cloth, I assure you. It's several millimeters thick.

2) The core is made of neoprene, covered by some fabric, and it's warm and nice. When your muscles are kept warm, it lessens stiffness and generally makes your hand work and feel better compared to coldness.

3) It slightly prohibits your hand movements, and thus removes a part of the cause for RSI. This isn't of course desirable for accurate PS work, FPS games and such. But it's not like you would wear it all day long anyway.

[The Heretic Azazel]

How old is your girlfriend?

Also with "here" I first thought you meant on GW, lol XD

That would be a trip!

She's 25

[Paulyboy]

Don't you guys understand? If you play the computer too much you develop RSI. My friend has it because he plays everyday and he has graduated from High School and is still living with his parents. It sucks though because he is a cool guy, he has no life but he's still my friend because im also best friends with his brother. So to you guys out there, hang out!!! Or get laid ;)

Edit: Take a break from the computer

[Fox Fire]

I didn't get a birthday thread, thats some ol' bullshit.

OH I WILL!:mad: [/wrist]

[Kirai no Tenshi]

Awww :(
Belated happy birthdays, Complich8 and Fox Fire.


In less happy news.
At around 10pm, the night before last, I started feeling aches throughout my body.
By about midnight, the pain was pretty much unbearable (and I have a high tolerance for pain), and I'd also gained a migraine.
At something like 4am, the delusional state that's brought on my severely disturbed sleep had me convinced that I was going to die.

A little over 24 hours later, I've had enough painkillers to anaesthetise an Algorian Mammoth, metaphorically. The pain has been mostly replaced by nausea, which isn't striking me as much of an improvement. I hate being sick.

[Kraco]

Hmm... Maybe you are getting your wings at last, Tenshi! At least in Haibane Renmei there seemed to be severe pain and fever before the wings broke out of a haibane's back. You are an angel, after all!

Joking aside I hope it's nothing serious. It does sound very nasty, though.

[Kirai no Tenshi]

Wings would be nice.
That way, I could put take out my anger on all the things I hate with impunity.
I'd just need to steer clear of AA guns and fighter planes.

I'm more inclined to beleive, however, that it's a viral infection.
It certainly has an element of plausibility to it, especially since I'm not really an angel; I just pretend to be one on the Internet.
I've not been this ill since I was working directly with clothes imported from China.
Hate being ill.

[Honoko]

awww... hope you feel better kirai!

[Yukimura]

Kirai, your sickness presents an interesting conumdrum for me. On the one hand it's harder to be angry and mean to you since your're over there wallowing in misery and such, but on the other hand, the spite generated from the social conditioning that tells me I should stop being mean to you increases my overall animosity towards you. As you know the angrier I am at you the more I want you to hang around #gotwoot so I can mess with you. Anyway, get well so we can go back to our regular routine of verbally eSlaping one another. And make sure my avatar is alright, I'm condfident no measly virus will breach her defenses, but you can't be too careful!

Obligatory Bitching: What's the deal with all these crickets? Thery're everywhere! I've probably gotten 75-100 confirmed cricket kills this summer alone. This is mainly thanks to my new Raid lemon scented bug spray, which in addition to driving crickets into insane fits of jumping and spasming on contact also acts as a slow acting poison, killing the foolish young crickets that dare venture across any area one of their bretheren was felled. On the positive side, there are more dead crickets, and thus less live crickets now. However because of my copious spraying my basement is becomeing a cricket Killing Fields, with more corpses appearing near the door every day.

Being that I hate insects in all ways, I am not fond of picking them up, even with a paper towel and I certainly wouldn't subject my vacuum to the demeaning duty of interacting with cricket carcasses either. So now i'm stuck searching the baasement this last week before school starts again, finding dead dried up corpeses everywhere I go, and throwing them away. I even found a corpes in a bag of clothes I hadn't opened for years and a live one in some clothes that I was about to fold!

While we're on the subject of small creatures that irritatie me, there is a Spider that I need to call out. I generally have no beef with spiders like I do with crickets, since spiders primarily eat insects, who are my arch enemies. However there is a new guy who spins a web outside my patio window every evening around dinner time. If you've ever get the chance to watch a spider weave a web you really should, it's an amazing feat for one creature with a brain the size of a pinhead and terrible eyesight to create something 10 times bigger than itself, one strand of silk at a time. My problem is, this spider is too damn big! While it's not one of the giant spiders you might see in the Amazon or something, it's still about as long as 4-5 lines of text on the forums and maybe 3 wide. This spider is intimidating to say the least, and with it's penchant for the window right outside the dinner table I am forced to look at it nearly every night. While i'm glad it's capturing and killing the foul insects (I've seen it killing and eating one, which was also pretty cool to watch) it tends to distract me from eating, which is unacceptable. Go somewhere else giant spider!

explanation would be cool

[Kirai no Tenshi]

I'm actually quite worried about you, Yuki.
You defined the size of the spider in terms of lines of text on the forum.
That's quite scary.

Although screen resolution would make it mean more.
If you were running a 14 inch monitor at 1600 by 1200, then I'd feel inclined to laugh.
But you could be running a 52 inch plasma screen at 640 by 480, which would make the spider frighteningly huge (like X-Box).

the spider's just a pic I took of a large-ish spider (about the size of a quarter). It was last year (about a year ago exactly, middle of august), and those guys were all over the damned place. That one was in the middle of a web that was anchored to a branch about 15 feet overhead, and to the bushes about a foot off the ground ... stretched out to about 5 feet wide at the base, was about 3 or 4 feet wide where the spider was (in the middle).

Mostly just a response to yuki's complaints about a big spider :p.

To contribute to the bitching, here's a story for ya:

I went in to work yesterday (despite it being sunday) … mostly to fill out a timecard and put in a couple hours (and only partly because I was hungry and wanted a sandwich and work's right on the way back). Walking in through the drawing room (big open room in the first floor of the building), there was some management student meeting or something … a dozen or so random students sitting around a table talking. The apparent “leader” guy said “I’m really excited about this year” … and my only immediate reaction was this thought:

Wow … how clich&#233;. A dozen, maybe a hundred people before you have sat where you’re sitting, or the equivalent, and said the exact same thing: "I’m excited about this year". But why? Because it’s your year now, because you’re in command of the group, it’s your chance to shine. This year is your entitlement. It’s not just some opportunity, it’s yours. At least that's what you think. That’s why your excited. That’s why everyone’s excited. And all your little ambitions and dreams, all the grandiose things you think you’ll do … with clich&#233; lines like that, they are destined to be crushed into a pulp of obscure banality. You're going to graduate and become an assistant manager at an OSCO.

I'm ... becoming really jaded I guess :p. I hate the sugary optimism of students who've had their path bought by their parents and think the world revolves around them. Sick of the floods of idiots who can't figure out how to cross streets without running in front of traffic like some grotesque god-mode game of frogger (where "lose a life" is superseded by "win a lawsuit"). It's going to be nice in 3 or 4 weeks, around the time the first exams hit and the weather gets a little colder and all of those cheery optimistic morons get their happy delusions demolished by the cold cruel reality of their freshman calculus classes. Schadenfreude? Yeah, I've got that in spades.

Except that the crushing defeat of Math 161 or Chem 115 or Physics 152 never happens to those happy management majors. I fucking hate that. They go through their entire undergrad curriculum thinking they're so great 'cause they can waltz out with a 3.5 in classes that a braindead maggot could sleep through and pull a B in by shitting randomly on the scantron sheets, think they're special because their curriculum is a cakewalk even compared to majors in Liberal Arts. And that irritates the hell out of me.

There was a pretty big spider in my basement yesterday. It was just sitting there on the carpet and didn't move until it got squashed. It was very large.

the spider's just a pic I took of a large-ish spider (about the size of a quarter).
The one I saw was the size of over two quarters including the legs, so I guess that would be considered Big Mac-size.

[KitKat]

I'm usually a very easygoing person, but encountering a big spider will cause me to scream bloody murder. It's funny, because I grew up on a farm, and insects outside in the wild don't bother me at all. Bugs in my house however, are hostile invaders that must be killed as quickly as possible. There is only one creature that I loathe more than the spider, and that is the creature I call the Hamilton Bug. These pasty little centipedes have grotesquely long jointed legs and giant antennae and move excessively fast, frequently eluding capture. They start out really small, but can grow to be a foot long, in rare cases. Even talking about them gives me the shivers. I used to come across them in my old house, and my preferred method of dealing with them was either running away, or yelling till someone came down to kill it.

I can't even kill them because I can't stand the crunchy feeling of their little exoskeletons being crushed. Ugh, bugs, stay out of my house.

@compy: Nothing wrong with a little optimism! I came through a brutal spirit-crushing 5 years of engineering physics and I'm still cheery and hopeful =P

Got a picture of one by any chance?

[complich8]

Hamilton bug, eh? Centipede-ish, kinda big, moves fast, long legs?

is it like this common house centipede?
http://gallery.complich8.net/d/4734-2/Centipedey.jpg
I've seen these guys as long as about 3 inches including legs and antennae... they're freaky.

If it's not one of them, I'd love to see a pic if you can keep yourself from screaming long enough to snap one sometime (seconding BoC's request, motion carries, take a pic).

(are you sure they're not ... muskrats? :D)

[Assertn]

I'm super pissed that I can't get any work done at work.

The VP of our multimedia dept and the main client guy for our project keep having funny aim chat convos and it's distracting me. How am i supposed to get work done when there's too much fun in the workplace :mad:

[woofcat]

Arg, i hate getting negitive reps on posts over a year old. That is all, thank you for lsitening.

[el_boss]

Damn there are NO hot chicks in my class. I really mean it, there might be a weak 6 in there somewhere other than that I have nothing to work with. I really feel like skipping this class now.

CS 483: intro to the theory of computation. 11 people (10 undergrads, one grad student). 1 girl. Physically I'd say she's about a 7.5. If you count brains towards hotness, she's probably a 9 (how many girls know how to apply the difference between a transition function and a transition relation in automata theory?).

Psy 222: fundamental psychobiology. 70 people. 30-40 women (I haven't counted), so about 50-50 breakdown, which is actually pretty bad for psychology (which usually tends towards a 60-40 female/male mix). 85% psych majors in the class, 15% school of science (generally in interdisciplinary neuroscience programs).

At least both of the textbooks and both of the profs are good. And now I know what Basal Ganglia are ...

[XanBcoo]

I haven't started school again yet, so I'm still waiting on the hot girl/not-hot girl breakdown of my classes (I can only hope...).

Also, I hadn't noticed until complich8 said it, but there always did seem to be more girls than guys in my psychology classes. Hmm :confused:.

[Board of Command]

The girls need the therapy.

[complich8]

The girls need the therapy.

Some of my friends have the same theory. Women are crazy, which is why so many of them are taking psych classes: to try to figure out wtf's wrong with them :p.

When I took Abnormal, it was 80% women. Psych of Women was 85%. Social Psych usually runs about 60%. Developmental? Let's just say that one's definitely a great place to meet women :p

Cognitive, Learning Theory, Evolutionary psych ... 40-50%. Better ratios than engineering, but not so that much better. Even for women in scientific fields (albeit scientific fields in the college of liberal arts), it seems like the harder (as in less arguable) the science involved is, the fewer women pursue it.

Shame, too. Women in science automatically get +2 hawt points, but not if it's humanities-type sciences. Anthropologists need not apply for auto-hotness.

[KitKat]

Xan, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Linguistics classes are very much female dominated. In my linguistics classes I was lucky if there were two or three guys in the whole class. Plus, I learned early on that talking to guys in Humanities isn't half as easy as talking to engineering guys. All my regular topics of video games, anime, and the latest episode of Mythbusters failed me. These guys talked instead about literature and history and philosophy, and not even my collection of math jokes could save me. They also had a certain arrogance about them that comes from the partial celebrity status granted by being a male in a mostly female class. I'm not about to deal with that. I'll take the poor misunderstood engineering boys over those elitist Humanities snobs any day. (See how my post cleverly morphed into a rant!)

[Yukimura]

I never even thought to bitch about women in Engineering, thanks for reminding me KitKat.

At my school the femal population is essentially the bacteria that feeds on the wood at the bottom of the barrel, and our best bet is that choice multicellular organism that feeds on the other bacteria instead. Of course almost no multi-cellular organism would ever major in Electrical and Computer Engineering there, unless that organism is a invasive strain from over seas. With a 60/40 M/F ratio and 50% of our students coming from outside the US, mainly Asian, Indian, or Arabs, the pickings are slim enough as it is. (I have nothing against the forigners, but i'm usually not into people who don't understand any of my cultural referances, as I don't understand any of theirs ). And then there's the engineering aspect...with nothing but hardworking international girls who chatter constantly in languages I don't speak surrounding me in the cluster I don't percieve many opportunites to strike up conversation. In addition of the three girls in my ECE class of ~100 (about 25 girls at last count) I would only ever consider speaking to maybe 8. Luckily for me, the moderatly attractive are fully aware that they're the best most introverted engineers can do, making them wholly unapproachable.

Fortunately I'm finally branching out a little this year by taking abnormal and social psych, hopefully at least one of those multi-celled girls will be present in one of those classes.

Wow that's quite a lot. How did it amount to so much?

[Assertn]

Well, it is 7 years old.

[Psyke]

That's not that old..... I recently just went for my first servicing, and luckily it was that expensive. What kills are the road taxes, carpark fees, insurance, road entry taxes, etc etc :(

Your post kept me reassured until I walked into my Computational Linguistics class today. Major sausage fest. Five girls in a class of 25. Crap.

It is "Computational" Linguistics though, so while it'll probably be a lot of fun and very interesting, it doesn't seem like the type of class a lot of girls would take. A rather depressing tradeoff...
