But i symphathize, slow drivers are among some of the most annoying people on earth.
they increased the toll roads around here from 55mph to 70mph but half of the people don't realize this, or they just refuse to drive faster than 60.
Actual Bitching from me.... People calling my cell phone and not leaving a message. There is a 99/100 chance that I'm not going to just call your number and be like.... somebody called me from this number... blah blah blah, NO.
I dont have a beeper, I have a cell phone which has voicemail. All you have to do is say who you are and i will call back... it takes 10 seconds.

Sick of the rude ass people at my school. Hordes of people running down the stairs on the left side. Do you drive on the left side of the road, huh!?
Well I guess you do in some countries. You know what I mean.
Then today this girl comes down the stairs as I'm trying to go up, in a narrow staircase near the library. And I have to practically lunge to the side to avoid this bitch while she stares off into space taking up the whole goddamn walk area.
Next time I'm going for a fucking kneecap.

I remember walking through a narrow doorway before, and this other guy came at the same time from the other side. We when we both moved our shoulders a little to indicate which way we were moving, we saw the other do the same, so stopped to let them go. It happened numerous times before we laughed and moved on. From a bystander's point of view, the shoulder movement was so slight (and plus there was no leg movement), it must have looked like we had a stand-off for a good 5 seconds.
No stairs though.

Stocks were doing great today, then one super analyst Dick Bove downgrades Wells Fargo and the entire market drops 100+ points. I wish I had that kind of market manipulation power. Or just the $2k I lost because of this Dick.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I feel the exact opposite. I fucking HATE voicemail. It's antiquated technology. It's a backwards system. I miss a call, so some idiot leaves me a message saying, "Hi this is Joe I was just trying to call you. Call me back"
No shit Joe! My cell phone has a little message that says "1 missed call from Joe". I know you were trying to call me. I know how I should call you back. Why do you waste my time leaving me this idiotic message. Now I have to log into my voicemail, type in my five-digit code, listen to your pointless message, and delete it. I probably won't check my voicemail for four or five days, so it'll be a moot point by then. I wish I could just disable voicemail so my phone continues to ring until I pick up or the caller hangs up.
Death to voicemail!

I actually know very little about stocks and make all decisions based on gut feelings and headlines on financial websites like google and Marketwatch. Happily I am still on the positive side of the balance sheet, just less so because of what happened today.

I never activated mine. I think I should have accessed it once to have it turned on, but since I share your hatred towards it, I surely didn't. I don't ever leave messages either in other people's voice mails. It would be very hard for me to do that anyway because the moment my subconsciousness realises a phone call connects to a voicemail, my thumb disconnects the call. Happens before my actual consciousness even knows what's going on.
I do the same thing. When I'm ringing on behalf of someone and they didn't pick up, it always ends up as:
A: It went to his voicemail
B: Oh, then leave him a message.
A: I hung up already.
The hatred doesn't just cover the use of voicemail, but also the voice that says "The person you are calling is unavailable, to notify them of your call, plea-" [insert rage here].

The voicemail thing isn't so much a problem when voicemail costs extra money on top of your phone plan. Ah Canada, home of extortionist phone companies. On the phone plan I had for the last 3 years, I had the basic plan and no extras. No call display or caller ID, no voicemail, no text messaging, nothing. So if someone phoned me and I didn't hear my phone, I'd come back to a message that said, "1 missed call. Unknown." Not that I minded too much since I don't really like talking on the phone. I trained all my friends to email me instead as a faster way of getting in contact with me.
My biggest problem with mobile phones is that the vibrate option isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. It's especially a problem when I'm wearing shorts, since they fit looser than jeans and pants. Often, with my ipod plugged in, vibrating's the only thing that will alert me to a call. I'm buying a phone with proper music functionality next time.

I also get what I call Phantom Phone Syndrome, where I'll feel a little spasm or vibration or something at the top of my leg and instantly grab for a phone that either isn't ringing or isn't there at all.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I do that fairly often. Does that mean we crave human contact and are pathetic?

I join you in your misery and loneliness.
it doesn't matter if I silence my phone before classes or not, I could go an entire week with my phone set to ring in full volume and have the nazi march as my ring tone. and still nobody will hear it.
so, right, Phantom phone, it's so annoying.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I'm getting sick : (
I have a not so good feeling in my chest and feel like i need to take deep breaths every so often. After last weeks swine flu paranoia @ work i'm hoping I don't have the swine...
