Whenever creating a new email, username, gamertag or whatever, I make a point of asking myself "Could I tell this to someone I just met without looking like a complete tool?". If the answer is no I don't user that name.

Apparently many people do not do this.

Haha, true.

I had a kid and his mother rang on his behalf and she was screaming. I was looking for his Gamertag and he reluctantly saidsomething a long the lines of..

D...3...3...P..T..H..R..0...4..T .. haha. She copped it and wen balistic. (obviously without the dots)

Also, people freak out at us because we don't know the answer to their security question. I mean the whole WLID thing isn't the best system. It needs to be revamped from the ground up. But...people cant give out to us becauase they forget their password to sign in. They go to get a password reset and it's being sent to the same email they can't access.

Verizon Wireless is f*cking bullsh*t. Last week I could sit in my home and I would have full 3G service on my phone. Now all of a sudden I'm at home and i have absolutely no service. I'm paying $65 per month for a hunk of plastic and metal that can play pac-man and tetris, but I can't call out/receive calls/send text messages/receive text messages.

My fiance is driving down to California with my baby daughter right now, and they can't get ahold of me if anything happens.

I have Sprint and lightning struck one of the towers in my town, I didn't have service ANYWHERE in my town for 6 months. Sprint refused to reimburse any users or reduce their payments. Early cancelation of their plan is 200 dollars.


Cell phone companies are the biggest f*cking scams ever.

Well... if lightening struck the tower then it was an act of God, sue the Pope (as his representitive on earth).
elsewise start calling customer service: Sprint Hangs Up on Problem Customers

We did have a humongous f*cking dust storm on monday... Maybe that has something to do with my crappy service.
That's really terrible that they wouldn't reimburse customers who were paying 6 months for service they weren't receiving. I would have raised some hell.

They basically said "Not our problem, contact the owner of the service tower".

Yeah brb, lemme sh*t out the number for that one.

No old fashioned landline phone in your house?

I pretty much get no cell signal in my house, but that is because I live in an old lead house - walk out onto my porch and 'BAM' I get max bars.




Here's one that has been pissing me off of late - and not like it has been happening to me, but just seeing it in general pisses me off: People in their cars who intentionally speed up so as not to let another car yield in front of them or make any other sort of simple driving move. If you are driving 25mph and another car in the lane next to you (with a comfortable lead) wants to get over in your lane (lets say they have to make a turn from that lane) and they have their blinker on - do not speed up just to dick that person over. It just makes you an asshole and you gain nothing. I'm also willing to bet if you were the car with the comfortable lead and needed to make a lane change and someone else decided to speed up just to dick you over you'd be pissed.

Everyone just needs to stop intentionally being assholes when not needed.

Some body starts a 'what's your favorite' or 'what's your worst' topic.
Then all the children on the forum start making LISTS.
The question is what is your favorite, singular, NOT what are the TEN favorites of yours.
The question is what was the worst, singular, NOT what are the 100 things you didn't.

And, finally, the Games. Somebody poses a clue and the Players are supposed to guess. Well, in my day a clue was a question. The answer was a statement. You didn't answer a question with another question.
The question: What is 2 plus 2?
The answer is: four. {Be assertive.)
NOT: Four? (Not a Wimp.)

I hate the news media.

OK, broad statement.

I hate sympathy for the stupid.
{Background Info}If anyone lives in or near Ohio, you should have heard of the car accident of 5 Brunswick students, 12 hours before their high school commencement ceremony.

The real reason it is news is because the wreck consisted of popular douches, who wrecked because they were acting like... you guessed it. Douches. There was 5 of them crammed into a Chevy Cavalier, without seatbelts, going 70MPH, over railroad tracks... At midnight. Four of them died. I third-generation don't give a f*ck. There is a steep incline (about 25°) going up to the tracks, which caused the car to go airborne, slam the ground, and barrel roll down the street. The news media and the families of those lost blame the railroad tracks. f*ck. them. Of course, when someone gets into a single car crash, it is quite obviously the road's fault

QUOTE

We need to make sure no one else loses their lives on this dangerous road...

What they REALLY mean to say is:

QUOTE

We need to make this road safe enough so that you actually CAN go 70 without crashing.

If they actually slowed down, the way every other living American does, this news event never would have hit my ears. They want to lessen the grade up to the tracks to make it safer. This would just encourage driving faster over them. If they want to make their statement, keep the tracks the way they are. If anyone else wants to be a jackass and kill themselves on that road, f*cking go for it. I sure as hell won't shed a single tear for them. The students only have themselves to blame. Had they drove civilized, they'd still be here.

If any of you here feel sympathetic for them, well f*ck YOU.

Thanks for reading.

Lately I've been growing increasingly annoyed at grammar Nazis. It bothers me even more when the person correcting everybody generally posts gibberish that makes no sense, or hasn't much of a grasp on the language they're correcting others on themself.

The question mark comes more from asking if the answer is correct, I guess? If it was to be a statement, then you could also get annoyed at the people who reply to tell them that they are right, since an assertion wouldn't really warrant this. You do seem to get annoyed at small things though...

@Robinski - Yeah, don't think I'd be proud to tell people of my username.

Like that

Something which is p*ssing me off at the moment is people stopping you mid sentence, shouting or ranting at you about not giving them the information they are after, even though that is exactly what the f*ck you are trying to tell them if they would just shut the f*ck up and listen.

Ha. I actually typed that at first too, but changed it last minute. Maybe subconsciously I changed it to the incorrect form to expose any would be grammar Nazis out there, yeah I'll go with that.

Anyway, I also hate being cut off by someone who just asked me a question. I mean if they're going to bother someone about something then they should at least have the courtesy to listen to what they have to say. I also can't stand it when they cut me off before I can even answer their damn question, saying stuff like "Hello?" or "Well...?" I mean goddamn, give me a moment to get my thoughts together first.

Now, they are going to spend $260,000USD to "fix" this road. I can't think of a worse way to spend tax dollars than to make a road safer for people to drive stupid on. I will restate, if someone is retarded enough to kill themselves on a road, it is their problem, not ours. The only way to "save lives" is to scare people into driving civilized. If a road that people were killed on is repaved to make it safer, no one is f*cking learning a thing. The will continue to go fast over it, but this time, with less risk of crashing. They are driving like douches, and aren't paying the price they deserve. A road that is deemed "unsafe" is only deemed "unsafe" after someone drives like an idiot and crashes on it. A f*cking dirt road will stay a dirt road until someone wants to try to go 90 on it and flips over the edge. All of a sudden the road is unsafe... Roads that have a huge pothole across the lane, is one thing. That needs to be fixed, because those that don't drive like an asshole are still negatively affected. Yet, this kind of road problem never seems to get fixed

I've bitched about this before, but what the hell...I'm bored.

I used to live in the coolest neighborhood(I still live in the neighborhood, it's just not as cool anymore). It was 'discovered'. We went from being the craziest mix of races, cultures, and all of stuff to being a neighborhood of white hipsters and wannabes.

It went from 2am hooker vs. pimp fights to white women in matching jogging outfits jogging with fancy baby jogging strollers.

It was a true bohemian neighborhood, and that is what made it so desirable I guess.

There used to be a local market (a block away from the communist bookstore) called 'People Market' - it was run by a Chinese dude - now how nice and communist is that? You could go there for anything. When they closed and sold someone on the local neighborhood forum said "now where am I going to get cat litter?". Anyway it is now a super hip cafe...today I saw a white dude sitting at one of the outdoor tables in gay little straw hat playing the banjo...you know, he had that 'look at me' feel.

Oh and don't even get me stated on the beyond ultra hip cafe that moved onto the corner of my block a few years ago. It used to be a very quiet state representative's office. Now it just drips with hipness. people actually drive to it thus f*cking up our parking.

I'm going to quote my (white) neighbor from across the street. It is from a conversation we had maybe 10yrs ago. "I miss the crack days when we had better parking".



Ok I'll stop my little rant.

Honestly, if i mobile phone was not going to be of any use for 6 months and the phone company refused to reimburse, i would be bringing up a lawsuit, it's f*cking bullsh*t. Or get in contact with the media and i am sure where you are they have one of those shows that bring up smaller issues like scams.
Last thing they want is bad publicity


Trip, i f*cking hate when the neighbourhood changes, yours looks like it became the nicest safest place ever, f*ck that sh*t, sounds stupid but i love going through my neighbourhood at night knowing i look like a badass who's gonna beat someone when i get driven past haha. My neighbourhood has changed as well but it was more like every single small shop (Except the servo) has closed so your only choice is to go to the shopping centre/Village squares with big chain stores.

Alright, This is what i hate, someone in the V section wrote what probably would have been 1 A4 page of word typed, probably not even that, it was a nice read, something of a change, it wasn't difficult reading or anything, plain simple English, and of course this guy ^^ posted that as third comment or something.

Why even bother? If you are not going to read it, which would take 5 minutes, why go to all the effort to find a stupid f*cking picture like that and post it? Reading it would be easier, or simply f*cking off.
Secondly, anyone that does this makes themselves look like an uneducated lazy dumbass, and i am only going to assume that is exactly what they are.

Congratulations to anyone that does this, you prove that you either never went to school, or you are 12 years old, you also prove that we shouldn't waste our time on anything you have to say, and furthermore you just look silly attempting to be funny.
