The Bitching Thread

[RyougaZell]

A little off topic... everybody is fighting to get a Wii or PS3... meanwhile Im buying a NDS... LOL....


On topic...

I hate that whenever Im talking with my parents and one of my siblings talks to them, they completely forget Im speaking. Whenever I try that they tell me to wait or shut up. Shit happens when you are the youngest, even at 25 :P.

Why am I bitching about it? cause it has been the same story ever since I learnt to talk :P

[Animeniax]

I'm with you, this mad rush for the latest and greatest is ridiculous. I'm about to buy a PS2 so I can spend my holidays playing Okami, FF XII, Killzone, and Black.

It's funny, I'm a middle child and didn't get the attention of the troublesome kids or the good students, but now that we're all grown up and my parents are getting old, I'm the only kid in the family who is willing to let them move in with me to take care of them in their old age. I also make the most money in the family, but I'm still considered unsuccessful because I'm not in medicine or law or something that is traditionally considered a good job field.

Are you a drug baron?

Nope, I'm a civilian contractor in that one place in the mid east. You've probably seen a little about it on TV.

That damned Kirai and her Sunshine and Puppies thread really piss me off. Primarily it's because I'm a bitter loser and hate being reminded of the fact that other people aren't also bitter losers. I mean, I get it and I accept it...some people can make lemonade, but I still hate when it gets rubbed in my face. I don't have a damn spoon! How the fuck am I supposed to make lemonade? Just pour it all in the pitcher and hope that it just equally distributes itself eventually? I think not.

Secondly...Why Kirai! With all the content, decently adjusted people on this channel the one person I thought I could always count on to rain on the parade and bring some good old fashioned gloom to the brightest moments decides to pull a 180 and start being positive...That's some bullshit!

PS: I'm not actually emo, I just don't like happy things.

[Animeniax]

Kirai is a girl? Is she hot?

I'm usually one of the happiest and cheeriest people around, but there is one thing that never fails to make me miserable. Being sick. This is the first time I've been sick in a year and a half. I think this is a new record for me, actually, and I'm quite surprised that I emerged unscathed at the end of last year when all of my housemates and what seemed like half of the university were sick.

Anyways, I was home for the weekend for an early family Christmas (my Grandma migrates down to warmer climes each winter and wanted to go early this year), and there are few things more contagious than a four-year-old. My little cousin left me with a virus that has been making my life a misery the past few days. At times like these I wish my mom was around to make me soup, and hot chocolate, and little sandwiches cut up into tiny squares, but I'm left with scrounging up food for myself and staring at the dishearteningly growing pile of dishes in the sink that I know won't ever get done until I do them, even as I put off the inevitable by eating my lunch out of little bowls with a big spoon. I guess the one high point of my day was when I ran out of Kleenex (a moment of dread here....nothing makes one's nose quite so sore as having to use toilet paper on it) and my one housemate drove to the store to get me a new box. The extra-soft kind, with lotion in them. Thank goodness for small mercies. And now, I'm going back to sleep. Being awake is so unpleasant.

[woofcat]

worst day ever.

i wake up and i am late, to law.

i get threw law and make it to lunch. i go to a buddies house. the car is parked, i get out, walk around the back of the car, slip, and fracture my wrist. fuck.

I then go to comp sci and put the soldering iron into my hand.

today sucked.

Also, i can only type with left hand, damn casty thing.

[Death BOO Z]

I'm feeling really down in the past month or so..
it's kinda strange, whenever i'm at the army, I keep thinking about the weekend when i can go home (it's over a month since my last weekend in the army, due to some strange problems), but when i'm finally home, i feel like shit and get depressed, and then i'm not getting well with my family, and it generally sucks.

I'm feeling like i'm somehow losing intrest in most of the things i'm doing.. I mean, since i'm not in school anymore, I can hardly keep in touch with the people from highschool, and other than them, I hardly have people i know... at most cases, even the people i know, it's always a one-way street. If I don't try myself to stay connected, I simply won't see anyone anymore...
and actually, I hate calling people twenty times and never getting anyone to answer or to give a damn...

Same thing with the girl I like, I can accept it that she doesn't feel the same and wants us to be 'friends', but she won't let me meet her even like that, and whenever she says 'not today' it makes me even feel worse..

I don't know, there's a part of me that wants to stay home all day, every day and just go back to being a normal person, but i sometimes think that it'll be the best if i just spent an entire month at the base just so that things will move on.

[Deadfire]

Today sucked due to the fact my host made me change my password, and now will not accept that new password as the password to my account. this is my support ticket given to them that explains this...

This host sort of pissed me off today, beginning when I tried to make a table in my mysql database.

Accessing my customer page I was informed I had to change my password. This I disliked alot as alot of my files on the server access the databases and with password changes I have to go and edit all these files with the new password. What I disliked more is that you FORCED! me to change it. You gave NO option to not change it and allow me to continue what I came to do.

"Fine, whatever" I said changing the password, then more problems happened

I try to FTP with the new password... It doesn't work. Angered I created a new FTP account with root access, I got in. Using that I changed the config files with the new password to the database and tested them. They fail, I try it again with the old password, that fails as well.

At my limit of dislike, I try to log into my customer page to see what is up...and long behold I can't log in.

So I will ask that because I would like my site function. Because you know thats why I paid for hosting in the first place, I would like you to assist me with matter. I tried to call your support but it appears that they are to busy to assist me that way (Also, I sort of disliked the fact you had "money" from pink floyd as hold music)

As a Side note currently where I am has no access to my e-mail, as I would have checked the change to my password, however I don't think it matters as the new password I put in is both written down and saved on my computer.

*sigh*

Fucking shit.

I repeat, fucking shit.

I just got a new tire on Monday (after driving on a dough nut for half a month) and after only four days the damn thing busts. Now I'm stranded in a shithole town called Welch, WV. If you've never been to Welch, Imagine the most backwater town in America. Now imagine worse.

Edit, just to illustrate how much of a backwoods hellhole I'm stuck in, here's an excerpt from wikipedia:

In 2006, the city made national headlines. It was alleged that Police Chief Robert K. Bowman stopped CPR from being conducted on Claude Green Jr during a heart attack. Bowman recognized Green as a member of the local gay community, and insisted that he was HIV positive and should not receive CPR. Green later died at a local hospital, and was shown to not be HIV positive. The American Civil Liberties Union has a pending lawsuit against the city and Bowman.

That's the redneck town I'm stuck in.

First I thought, "it can't be that bad if you're able to find internet." And then I read that lover-ly story. Fucking Shit.

[Psyke]

That sounds really really terrible....

Any luck with your tyre now? It's always good to carry a spare around, just for such incidents...

I was looking forward to a tasty microwavable pizza.

I should've stuck with the old brand. When I sank my teeth into it, I was greeted by the most unholy abomination of flavor ever to invade my mouth. I feel disgusting, like "raped by a clown" disgusting. It didn't taste like pizza. It didn't taste like food. I cannot for the life of me describe how it did taste, and I'm not about to go near it again to find out. It's sitting on the stove because I'm afraid to touch it.

[RyougaZell]

I have to work in half an hour. At 1am Mexico Time... bleh.

Check if the manufacturer has a website, and if it does, give them some feedback. Who knows, they could surprise you. Either way, all real manufacturers need and generally appreciate feedback, positive and negative, according to my experience. If sales figures are their only form of feedback, it will help them only in a limited manner.

If they don't have a web site, I wouldn't bother. A botchy company isn't worth the time to give them feedback.

Pizza rant.

I used to buy No Name brand mini-pizzas because, well, they were the cheapest pizzas in the store. I ate them because I was a student and had neither money nor time. I kept buying them out of habit because....I'm really cheap, and sometimes just don't feel like making dinner. One time a friend of mine bought them to see if they were any good, and after trying one came up with so many terrible epithets for how vile the pizzas tasted that I was shamed into moving up to buying the more expensive brand.

[Bucket]

You guys seem to be under the impression that I was exaggerating for dramatic effect.

However, I eat cheap frozen pizza all the time. Some are a bit rubbery, others bland, still others have a predictable soy/onion flavor... but at the very least you can think to yourself "this tastes somewhat like a cheese, sauce and pepperoni combination" or somesuch. A little garlic or oregano can fix up a cheap pizza in a jiffy.

Not so with this pizza. It was a full-force assault on my taste buds. The texture was akin to a block of wax. Furthermore, there are basically two categories of "ingestibles" into which the brain can instantly categorize its current flavor data without any other stimuli (including, but not limited to):

REMOTELY EDIBLE
- Dairy
- Starches
- Meats
- Roughage
- Toothpaste
- Food on the floor for less than 5 seconds
- etc.

NON-EDIBLE / TOXIC
- Foot medication
- Toilet stains
- Ceiling tile
- Bottles emblazoned with the "Mr. Yuck" sticker
- Rubber
- etc.

My nervous system, upon receiving the chemicals contained within the pizza, went into emergency reflex mode-- like pulling my hand off a bunsen burner-- instantly rejecting the "food" in my hands whilst empirically deciding beyond a shadow of a doubt that whatever I had just tasted belonged in the second category.

[Yukimura]

I think I understand where Bucket is coming from. I have also have an instinctive reflex against unacceptable things being in my mouth. I nearly vomited once because someone had me taste an 'exotic dish' that I was not ready for. My stomach and throat threw into reverse immediately after it touched my tounge and I had to spit it out and guzzle water stay stable. I told him he could keep hs gourmet food and I'd stick to my safe processed americianized cuisince.

I know exactly where you're coming from. One time there was a huge sale on the microwave pizzas at the supermarket, but it was their store brand. Unable to resist the bargain, I ended up buying like 7 of those nasty mother fuckers. These things were so nasty, after I spit out my first bite, I threw random leftovers together and ate that for dinner instead.

And the other 6 shitty pizzas? Well, I invited some friends over purposely around dinner time knowing they'd probably be hungry and pretty much they took them.
