Vent Your Frustrations!

Family decides we're going to go out to our favorite Mexican place for dinner tonight. Cool. I decide I'm gonna take shower and get decently cleaned up (it's summer and the weekend which means I'm not working today and if I wanna be lazy in sweats/underwear and give no ****s, I will).

Family tells me they're waiting on me to shower so I go upstairs, shower, put on some decent clothes and leave my sweats laid out on my bed like I normally do, with my phone in my pocket. Of course, I come down and no one's ready yet (mom's going around the house cleaning, dad has no shirt on, etc) so I hop on my laptop and give no ****s.

Suddenly, without not one person saying anything to me, they all decide they're done "waiting for me to get ready" and make their way to the car. I go up to find my phone, and my sweats are gone. Whatever, I'll find em when I get home. Get in the car, "mom have you seen my phone?" "No." "Well have you seen my sweatpants because they were in my room and they were gone when I checked last." "Nope, I went in your room and grabbed the dirty shirt and towel out of there." Ok, I'm not gonna argue here at this point.

So we get home and immediately the first place I look is the laundry bin that's waiting to be loaded into the washer. Sure enough, my sweats are sitting on top of the pile, and there's my iPhone, sittin pretty in the pocket I left it in. If that ****er went through the wash, it would have surely been my fault for not keeping track/taking care of my belongings, and upon asking her about this, I get yelled at and she's still currently upset with me.

<sigh>

Dude, I feel for you guys. I can't imagine what it's like sittin in those operator's booths for a full shift. Me and my friends usually try to shoot the **** and have fun with the operators whenever we go to Cedar Point. They're usually pretty cool people for the most part too.

 

I can relate to this well. My parents (especially mom) will move my stuff to wherever it is they want to, and will cease to remember within approximately ten minutes.

E.g. For the past week I've been putting my nail clippers at the top of the stairs in order to remember to clip excess dry skin on my hands because I work on a boat etc. etc. Might sound gross, but I was told it's better than peeling it lol. Anyways, one evening they're gone and I ask my mom (whom is the only other person living in the house), "Hey, where'd you put my nail clippers?" She says she can't remember and says to try looking in the downstairs and upstairs bathrooms. Sure enough, they're not there -.- I then begin tracing the possible steps she could've taken and find it next to the tv in the basement.

...Da fuq??!

That's a smaller example, but she's been known to misplace many, many, many things of various family members without remembering where she put them.


Also: I gotta work 2 five hour fishing trips tomorrow = not looking forward to them :C

 

Definitely, I can relate to this. I just close my door sometimes and they would still go in and move all of my stuff. Pisses me off still.

Anyways, my PS3 is being a piece of crap. I dislike PS3s because of their internet problems and their effin' updates. I turn it on knowing there's an update for my game, so I load it up and the message appears asking if I want to update. I press ok and then it starts; it's at 1% and says it has 5 minutes remaining, then it countinues to like 100 minutes and still at 1%. Note, this update is only 149 MB, which should only take 5-10 minutes with an Xbox.

So, I cancel and go back to the dashboard, then load up the game again. After around 10 tries or so, it gets to 2% then starts all over again. The next time I cancelled it, it went back to 1% and in between, my PS3 froze about 3 times, so I have to do a retarded system restore each time. I hate PS3s, but it only has a couple games Xbox doesn't that I like. Maybe I should wait for my new computer...

Ouch. I can't stand fishing trips. I'm more of a "non-patient," individual. It's only fun when you catch something, and that takes a lot of time if you're lucky.

Your story sounds like myself. I always end up forgeting the stuff and blame it on my brother or parents, then I feel bad about myself.

 

I was wandering about in the forest and eventually made my way to the river.
Right in front of me was this beautiful boat, just kind of sitting out in the water.
I walked around to scan for anyone the boat might belong to, but no one was around, and the boat was about half full of water. So I drag it to shore, tip it over to let the water drain (which was no easy task; it's a heavy mother ****er), and pull it back out to see if there were any leaks. Sure enough, there was a hole in the hull (lol) about the size of a nickle. Easy fix.
I'm starting to get excited, but then I start to think about how it could still belong to someone. So I go home and give it 3 days. If it's still in the spot I left it, I'll take it. If not, oh well.
I went to check on it throughout my waiting period; It was sitting peacefully in it's place.
Third day comes around. I grab some duct tape and my friend and head down.
Sure enough, it's gone.
I'm glad that I didn't take it from someone, but it still freaking sucks to get that excited over something like that, and it just disappears.
Ooohhh welll.

 

I COULD BE POTENTIALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE BBCODES!!! AAAAHHH XO
So I'm testing here:
[title=TestingText][/title]

 

What if someone really didn't own it and a bunch of randoms came and took it? Just a thought. But it was good you didn't take it because it might have been someone's. I would've taken it...

 

WTF...
I hate when people keep trying to burn down Fort Fort on my Minecraft Xbox server. Just because I used 1800+ planks and 200+ logs does not mean I want to watch it all burn down (Sharp).

 

I hate my Xbox/Internet connection/Router/everything else related to my inability to connect to Xbox LIVE.

Background info: I don't have a wireless 360 adapter and am not close enough to directly connect, so my 360 is connected by CAT-5 to my laptop which is then wirelessly connected to the Internet. Sounds complicated, but it works (or at least DID work)

So I try to get online as usual last week, and oops, didn't work. So I ran the test, turns out it can connect to the Network, but not the internet. So I mess with some settings and whatnot trying to fix it, still no success. So I decided to call my ISP (Comcast, those sons of bitches). I explained my problem to them, they said everything was running smoothly on their end and that I should call the company whose router I have. The only thing they suggested I could do was to flush my DNS, which I already did with no success.

So I call up Linksys and explain everything. They said everything looks to be running smoothly and don't know what the problem is and can't do much of anything on their end either. The options I recieved from them: 1. Call my ISP (which I already did) or 2. Call one of their partner companies for help. Only thing, YOU HAVE TO ****ING SIGN UP FOR A ONE-HUNDRED-DOLLARS-A-YEAR PLAN TO GET HELP. I was like are you serious, I really have to pay for tech support. This is unreal.

So now I have no idea how to go about fixing this. Granted, I'm not very technically savvy, but I've run out of tricks up my sleeve. Flushing the DNS didn't work. It's not a problem with my CAT-5 cable because the 360 test connected to the network, just not the internet. MY ISP couldn't help. The router company is a bunch a dicks making me pay for help which I won't do. So yeah, idk.

Plus, it would happen right when I finish a 1v1 map I want to test the **** out of.
Uggghhhhhhhh


On the bright side though, I'm in love with my new avatar <3

 

I feel your pain

 

The headache of digging through various Chamber of Commerce pages looking up litigation in regards to starting a business in a country that I'm not a citizen of... And the head ache of actually organizing and writing a business plan to coincide with it... And the head ache of knowing how big a pain in the ass it will be to track down funding after all of that. :/

 

I hate it when I try to squeeze out some ketchup, and juice comes out and ruins my French fries.

 

I hate it when you download JShot and it deletes all your pictures, documents, and google chrome and you can't even delete it, or get any of your stuff back.

 

I hate it when I have free internet and I'm only receiving 10 MB per second. When I have my computer on, my PS3 or Xbox 360, phones, laptops, you name it on, everything disconnects and I have to reset the router... I swear, the most we can have on at once without disconnecting is a computer, a console, and a laptop; other than that we're screwed.

But no one wants to pay 40 bucks a month to have faster internet, but I'm greatly considering it once my gaming computer is finished. Not much of a vent but, also when it gets hot in San Diego and I don't want to close my windows and turn-on the AC. And when I have a crap-load of games and tell myself I'm bored. I just don't want to replay some games. Halo 3 is the only one worth it though.

 

I went to McDonalds and ordered a meal. When I got the food I noticed I didn't have a drink. When I went up to the cashier (different one since the other one left) I explained the situation but could tell she didn't believe me. So I just stood there silent, staring at her until she cracked and gave me my cup. Then everything was 'kay.

 

I still have a ****-load of stuff to ***** about.

I hate it when you wake up and stretch and then get a huge-ass ****ing cramp. Makes me want to die!

 

College tuition.
'nuff said.

 

For someone who doesn't have a lot to ***** about, you sure spend a lot of time in this thread.
