Things that piss you off

[Hisako]

so ie. he reports it as trolling


OT: Getting a ridiculously heavy amount of nosebleeding as winter seems to be the prime season for my usually-swollen sinus meatuses to implode and drain themselves of blood the hard way

it's quite a chronic thing I have going tbh

While I was initially glad to see so many people at the viewing of X-Men First Class (this particular cinema has been getting less business since a new one opened five minutes walk closer to the city centre), the audience quickly reminded me why I prefer being at a smaller showing of films.

Saying "sssshhhh" repeatedly at each other isn't the funniest goddamn thing in the worldm damnit.

Made me wanna crush a tarot card...

 

[Hisako]

Cinema audiences can really suck sometimes. I remember when I watched The Bourne Ultimatum for the first time in cinemas and there was this one douchebag (who had clearly seen it before) sitting in front of me

and he was going "ehehehehehe" everytime Jason was about to do something clever that outwitted his enemies

Broke my fucking experience of the film right down the middle of my pleasure centres in my brain

So I got a traffic ticket in the mail today, and my dad and brother wanted to see it (how much it was and the picture-which there isn't one anyway). When I refused to show it to them, my dad says "That's why she'll never meet anybody. Cause of the way she is."

I don't even understand...

I'm surprised we (middle and poor classes) haven't rioted ourselves!

Actually, you can't, because you'd get fired if you miss a day to go out rioting. Plus you have no health insurance or it won't cover costs inflicted by police weaponry or rioting accidents.

I don't even understand...

What he meant was "That's why she'll never meet anybody. Because I'm making snarky remarks about it like she's not here thinking it'll actually solve that problem." Known wrong application of spychology, .

Really, the only way you can influence someone else (whether if it's because you want them to have a better life or you want them to do something) is to make them want it, instead of judging and drawing conclusions etc.

No, you won't.

You'll do what you just did, if not delete it entirely, and then hit me with a ban or infraction, since apparently the agreement you signed keeps other people from expressing their opinions as well.

The agreement I signed actually indicates that I should identify myself as an employee of the company in question, and also indicates that I should refrain from posting anything derogatory about anyone because it would reflect badly on their company. I am obviously not going to do that (the store manager even indicated that following those guidelines would have been going ridiculously over the top), and have no desire for people affiliated with the company running web searches and attempting to find employees badmouthing the company to find this place and identify me as an employee. I even removed my Facebook from my signature since it identifies me as an employee. I am probably being paranoid, but I don't really give a shit. You can say whatever you like about the company in any context that doesn't make it obvious that I'm an employee. But you directly identified me as an employee after I explicitly stated that I did not wish to be identified as an employee. Fuck off with that shit.

edit: So basically if you want to bring up that you don't like their policies in some unrelated conversation, feel free, but if it's in a thread in which I've just ranted about my workplace then people will probably figure out that it's a reference to me.

edit 2: I should also clarify that apart from occasional stupid bullshit like this, it's been a pretty good place to work. Or at least, it's not the company's fault for the most part. It's the customers' fault. Which is pretty much typical of retail; the average rate of turnover is apparently six months or something.

F*CK. I'm playing Story Mode on Easy but this guy is just relentless. My only hope is to employ a cheap tactic where I jump all the time and attack him from behind. That's the only strategy that has lead me to even one victory in dozens of losses.
Damn you to hell Shao Kahn.

Edit: I FINALLY won. Figured out a way to outsmart his AI. I stood close to him, jumped behind him, hit fast, and then jumped behind him as soon as he turned.

 

[Hisako]

I don't even understand...

He's probably just saying that to try and get a rise out of you because he feels so bitchy at the fact that he isn't getting what he asked for.

Just like, flip him the bird and skip away going "la, la la, la la"

Some fucking asshole groped me in the train last night

UGH FUCKING DISGUSTING​

Usually this means you're allowed to grope him back!

Where you grope his nose

WITH YOUR FIST.

Yeap, that's the way to do it. He's weak against projectile spam too. I typically jump behind him and get him in combo loops.

You're being ridiculous and you know it.

> i live in a big, two story house

like really, REALLY, you couldnt POSSIBLY make the call in one of the other rooms, or from one of the other 6 phones in the house?

 

[Ⓐaron]

You're being ridiculous and you know it.

Because I don't want to be publicly identified as being in violation of my work's code of conduct, which according to that very code of conduct could result in repercussions as severe as me being fired from my job? Fuck. You. You're being an unnecessarily antagonistic douchebag about something that really doesn't affect your life at all and you know it.

 

[Joker]

...dude.

Wasn't about, in reference, or in response to you.

Chill. The fuck. Out.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Don't troll people here. This is a venting thread, not an "antagonize other members with the shit that's pissing them off" thread.

If someone asks you not to do something, particularly in reference to their job, let's respect that and move on. That's all I gotta say on the matter. Thank you.

 

[Ⓐaron]

...dude.

Wasn't about, in reference, or in response to you.

Oh.

What the fuck was it in response to then? Because it does not make sense at all as a response to Brent's post. And considering that you did directly respond to my previous post after I explicitly stated not to identify that place, I think I have every right to go off on you for it.

 

[Joker]

Wasn't a response to ANYONE'S post.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Whatever. I'm still pissed at you for mentioning the name of my work after I explicitly stated no one should mention it. That was a douchebag thing to do and you fucking well know it.

 

[Joker]

Not going to keep arguing with you.

Also bothering me: the ridiculous prices that Riot charges, and my current inability/lack of understanding of skin editing. I'll have the skin I want someday, but for now, it's little more than a pipe dream.

 

[Ⓐaron]

The least you could do is provide a WELL GEE AARON I'M SORRY FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE GOTTEN YOU FIRED FROM YOUR JOB. But apparently you're incapable of admitting when you were in the wrong.

[Gym Leader Devil]

This is fairly minor, but still pissed about it. So I am playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles, reliving some of Sonic's glory days and enjoying the fuck out of it right? Its especially good for me because before he died, dad used to play Sonic 2 and 3 with me, he'd explore the stages finding hidden power-ups and special stage entrances, then hand it off to me when time started getting low so I could run like hell to get us through the stage in time.

But, I managed to screw myself up today. I beat the game with less than all the emeralds, so that I could get easy access to special zones in stage 1, that way I could replay it with Super Sonic available. Except I screwed up and entered the Super Special Zone too soon. So even after all that work, I can't transform until I beat a whole 'nother set of special stages and get the Super Emeralds. And it pisses me off that I can't have fun with Super Sonic while I wait to get Hyper.
