Why should I go into the water... I hate the beach, seaweed, stones, creepy crawlies, sand in everything. And I forgot "A thousand splendid Suns" in the car. No book, everyone forcing me to go into the water. Why didn't you all just leave me alone. Piff!!!
But Mummy loves me. So she must come in the water.

My desk is clean.

BUT THEN WHY DOES MY ROOM STILL LOOK PATHETIC??

If there is one thing that bothers me, being a consumer whore in the modern world that so many of us are, its companies pricing products with no distinguishable reason or logic. Take for instance shoes. I am not an overly large man, size 9 shoes. I will never be a size 13 shoe wearer. I may stretch to a 10 in some cases, but I absolutely swim in anything above that, convenient though it is for others who are of a larger stature to have such a diverse selection.

But why does a pair of shoes cost, say a size 7, 120 dollars, and yet a size 12 or 13, pays that same 120 dollars. Put next to one another it is extremely evident that the former is using almost half the materials of the latter. Am I absorbing the costs of the materials for people with bigger shoes then me? You would think price is determined by the cost of the goods and the time to make the shoes, the equipment needed to do so etc. add on a tidy profit margin for myself and again for the retailer, and you would have your final sum. So it would make sense that a bigger shoe should be substantially more expensive (or my shoes cheaper preferably) seeing as they use inches more of leather, rubber, cotton, etc and as such would take longer to construct. If I am not absorbing the prices for my larger brethren, it means that the larger foot wearers are getting more at a discounted price.

Pants are the same way, if I am using a foot less material per leg, you would think I would be afforded some sort of financial compensation. I’m not asking to thrash into profit margins; I am not asking for special treatment, I am just asking that the price be reflective of the product actually received.

We buy groceries by weight, liquids by volume, external hard drives and USB’s by storage capacity, why is it that something like clothing, which absolutely everyone uses and has used for eons, is charged by some magical mean price decided without any thought for the “little guy”, this is Australia isn’t it? Land of the wee battler? Home to the most prized underdogs, lovers of the Cinderella story, the little guy fighting for his fair share? Well I say to you, I am a little guy, and I deserve to pay my fair share and nothing more.

Yeah, I think the overwhelming part of the cost is not the raw material but the labor and equipment to make it. The raw material difference between a large and a small size of anything is probably pennies, and there's probably no difference in time of labor.

I did find it funny where you wondered if you're paying for people with bigger feet. :lol:

Speaking as someone with size 13 shoes and a 44 inch inside leg, I'm damn glad I'm paying the same as someone smaller. That would be heightist descrimination, that would!:lol:

Papaya, put in in the microwave at one minute to 30 secon intervels for the time length directed. each time it beeps stir it and then put it back on. that works for me.

[papayahed]

That's what I usually do. I thought I was all good and put it on for an additional 25 sec. and that's when it blew. Maybe I could invent a bowl that stirs the whole time the oatmeal is microwaving...

[Niamh]

try add a small amount of cold milk to it before the additional 25.

[Heathcliff]

Why must it all be so difficult. Can't the school decide on who are genuine good people and just give them a VCE pass? Why must they do this to people?
Get this, someone has a job, runs their own business and is amazingly talented in their own field, whilst actively participating in the school community, and they can't have a few extra weeks up their sleeve for a VCE exam. I know it sounds like if they do something for one person they would have to do it for eveyone, but when someone is exceptional at something then they deserve to know how special they are.
Some people have very shallow futures, but this amount of effort deserves to be rewarded. That is what my school usually does.
Anyway, I don't know what is going to happen.

[The Comedian]

Okay. Yes. I am an English teacher. Me, English teacher. Alright.

I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it that whenever I make a litle typo or misspell or leave out word, someone's always there to say something like this:

"Wow! That's pretty bad grammar for an English teacher"

You know what I want to say to that person?

"Crawl back into your little dictionary, nerd-boy/nerd-girl. Most of life is a rough-draft. Typos can be fixed. And, no, I did not major in dictionary memorization. Oh, and one more thing: May I please follow you around and point our your little foibles and missteps? Now, that would be fun!"

End discussion. english techer uot!

Are you dyslexic, Juniper? We have a few members on the Forum who are dyslexic and I often work with people who have dyslexia. It is, of course, up to you but you don't have to spell check everything you post here. :)

Re. The Comedian's post> I think that is quite a common problem teacher face; expected to be superduper when it comes to grammar and spelling as well as to be familiar with every single word listed in the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary.

Still on the subject, I reaaaaally get wound up when I get comments like "Good command of English language" in my assignments. I feel people expect me not to be good in the subject I teach.

Once during an observation, I wrote "techinally" instead of "technically" on the board. I was told that I had to be careful with my spellings because obviously I did not know how to spell the word rather than making a silly mistake.

I find that ESL speakers are given a hard time; if we make a mistake, it is because we don't know while native speakers can get away with similar mistakes.

[Isitandthink]

I just don’t know what is life worth anymore. I’m empty as can be. Why do I feel sorrow so deep when I’m living my life pretty much like everyone else? Do I think too much? Even my passion fails to lit me up tonight. When I see people laugh and enjoy the moment with their friends, it’s not like I’ve never experienced that before, but I’m just so jealous. Do people go out often with their friends? Am I spending too much time alone? My loneliness has already expanded to such a degree that I no longer associates it with loneliness. It has become so familiar that it is numbing. Do I really have to be familiar and filled with all these emotions all the time till I get immune from them? I want love but I don’t know where to get it. I want to give love but it seems there is no place or person appropriate to give it. It’s like the movie where the helpless always wait for the “person” or thing to enter their life and save them out of their misery. Where is my meaning? Tried to be strong but I became sad.

This phrase annoys me, but makes me lol at the same time. here is an instance.

Parent-yell yell yell, lecture lecture, guilt trip, yell some more about the same thing for an hour.

Kid-rolls eyes

Parent- Fine go to your room...

Here is where my problem is. Most kids have a laptop, cd player/ipod/mp3, tv, cell phone... all of this in their room. So really parents lets see listen to you yell and lecture or do something to get sent to our rooms which you think is punsihment...hmmm hard choice... Also being grounded to your room, lets see that basicly grounds me from well you. still have my phone, computer and tv. not to mention all my video games. yes I'm sooo regretting what I did.

This bug anyone else? We wonder why displine fails... They enjoy it...:out:

Use safari, It does spell check for you, even on here as you are typing. I don't use it really becuase my computer HATES it, but most people can. And I understand the spelling thing, Where I went to school we never did spelling, ok we did it pre-k thru like third grade. the end. So I get to college and we have spelling test and I'm like :yikes: so No worrys. This is not really a formal forum so I wouldnt worry about it that much.

Wait, so your parents don't take that stuff out of your room before sending you in there? Weird.
I was assumedly grounded once. They took all of the awesome stuff away from me. Basically it was just my stereo, Nintendo DS, and the lightbulb from my lamp so I couldn't stay up late doing anything exciting. I got over it in a week. Of course then I just started writing. Then it was even harder for them, because you can't seriously take all of my pens and pencils away if I have to do schoolwork.

Anyway, my problem:
WHY CAN'T I GET MY HUMAN GUNIE-PIG!! I think they are onto me... Ergh, not fair.
If they knew what was good for them they would do as they are told!!
THEY JUST DON'T GET IT!!

I can't get a job yet, still too young. So my parents get me things pretty much whatever I want, seeing as I'm usually a good girl.
I don't get grounded though. I don't ever get in trouble. On the rare occassion I do, I just get yelled at by my mum and ignored by my dad. Oh well, I can live with that.
I don't go out anywhere or do anything with my friends. School is like my whole life and they want me to be there. There isn't much they can stop me from doing.

My boss yelled at me in my cubicle. He did not have an understanding of the issue, and he came over into my cubicle barking instructions. He did not know that the issue was already being handled, nor did he know that the "issue" was caused by a software problem. He is not an effective leader. If it is your objective as an employer to have fewer employees then the best strategy is to find a terrible supervisor to manage the employees. People won't want to work there and they will leave and your payroll expense will go down, and that's a good thing since minimizing costs seems to be the only thing employers care about. :crash: :crash: :crash:

The first camp that I'm on has cold weather, then the second one has aweson weather.
And why do I need to get half the stuff on the list I was given?
I mean, on one part they want us to bring bathers and the other they want us to bring thermal underwear. The weather report say it will be too cold to swim and too hot for thermals.
And I don't HAVE half of the things they want. No thermals. No pants that aren't jeans. No beanie. I don't think I even OWN four t-shirts that have sleeves that aren't long sleeves. I thing, at the moment I've got... eh... two that are clean, one I'm wearing, one I wore yesterday, and a whole heap on them that don't have sleeves.
Then they say to bring a long sleeve shirt to protect us from the sun and THEN they say to bring sunscreen. If we have sunscreen then WHY, may I ask, do we need to cover our arms?

I hate this stupid book report. It is the most boringly mind-numbing assignment I've ever had. Its like all of the writers-block I had during that RE assignment that I ended up getting an A+ for all over again. I know I'm going to get a good score, but I'm going to have to tough it out to produce some work that I cannot help but despise in order to do so. I could just get it over and done with and then cast it from my mind, but no. I need to rant on. I mean, we were given minimal information on how to structure it, despite the fact that not one person in the class has ever produced a book report. We weren't given any information. When in doubt, I've always been told to ask questions. I ask and I get nothing in reply.

"How many words does it have to be?"
"As many as you think you need."
"Will we be marked on the word count?"
"Yes."
"So what is a good score?"
"Everything has to be relevant to what is in the book."
"Miss, you've read Looking for Alibrandi, what do you want me to do?"
"Just do what you think is right." No kidding, I'd have done what I thought was wrong.
"Okay then Miss. So what am I supposed to write about?"
"Follow the sheet."
"I don't want to just re-tell the story."
"Don't. Talk about the characters."
"So that is what we are marked on?"
"No, you're marked on your knowledge of the story."
"Yea, I know what you mean."
"You also have to say how you felt about it."
"So this opinionated?"
"No. Say the good things."
"So I can't bag how much I despised the ending?"
"You'll be marked down."
"Got it. So I'll just try and get a good mark."
"Good girl. Now I want to have my lunch."
"See you, Miss."
"Bye Frances."

Yea. I've never heard a teacher tell me to write what they want to hear. I know they mean it, but she just said it. And why can't she tell me how many words to write? She knows I can write, she knows I can make it all relevant. So now I'm just going to write more than I guess everybody else will just to be safe. Nothing else better to do.
And why must she call me "good girl"? She is baby herself, she was at the same school as well. Half the teachers who praise me gave her detentions.

Okay. So I should stop dragging on about how I believe I'm superior and get some work done.

I know that no matter how much I procrastinate, I'll do well. Then I'll be praised through that same fake smile.

I wish all teachers were genuine, like my maths teacher and my RE teacher, and my year seven homeroom teacher.

And, guess what else, MY TEA HAS GONE COLD!!

great. seems today is going to be a "wonderful" day. First woken up at 2.45am by a text from the DM i work alongside to say he wasnt coming in and lost an hours sleep from my vital 3.5 hours. So tired. Not looking forward to having to explain why he aint in to the boss. The stupid bus turned up early, and dropped me off at the airport at 4.10am! :( Left my lunch at home and have zero money to buy lunch. Then i had to have a firm word with one of the girls for arguing on the shop floor. 7 hours left to go and that doesnt even include the rest of the day. Just waiting to hear i lost my mortgage approval and then i have to deal with telling the estate agents and the solicitor, who will charge me for handling the contracts, which shouldnt have been sent out to him in the first place! gurrr!! I just want to go to bed and i cant. :bawling:

:mad:My husband is a network admin and computers are his life. So, you would think that I would be happy with my computer.

But that's not how it is.

He often disconnects the internet when I need to use it. Or, he changes my settings. Or he logs onto my computer from a remote location.

I have been using a refurbished lap top. I mentioned something to him about how I wanted to buy myself a new computer. I just mentioned it in passing - it wasn't a request. It was just a statement. Two days later, I have a new desktop. I don't know if it's new, or just new to me, and I don't care about that. I just want my computer to work and it doesn't and I wish that he had just let it go and let me get my own computer.

Yesterday, it had sound and today it doesn't.

I need to use Word, but when I open Word, it will not allow me to type. As it turns out I need to activate the damn thing, so as luck would have it, he is not here so I had to call him and he explained where I needed to go to get the key and then it still didn't work. See, if I had my own computer from scratch I would not have to go get the key off his network crap and I would just have my own independent computer separate from his with my own Office software and my own software key.

I just want a computer that works and you would think that I would have one, seeing as how my husband is really into computers. But every time he redoes something on my computer, nothing works! He never takes my usage habits into consideration. He never has. EVERYTIME he puts together a new computer he never puts it together for the end user. I swear, I am going to the store and I am going to buy my own damned computer and I am going ot put it together and he is not touching it. I will pay for my own internet access separate from his stupid complicated BS network that he is always taking offline for whatever reason (I think just to piss me off).

Stupid big cow that I'm working with said that I was lazy, dumb, young and had bad taste in movies. Hahaha, so I made her work in the adult room, which is 30 degrees celcius, for five hours.

I had a three day weekend coming up, but our stupid boss changed the schedule and now I have to work 51 hours next week with no days off at all. Goddammit. I wish it was August and I could just go to school, it's much less stressful.

Aww I'm sorry, what an insensitive prick, there's nothing I hate more than people who accuse me of being lazy when I work my *** off. At least you got to taste a sweet dish of revenge :D

DO you think that was the right way to get back at her? Would you have taken responsiblity if she had collapsed because the heat Jun?

What she said was bang out of order, but i dont think sticking her in a room that was 30 celsius for five hours was the just way to get back at her.

Aww, it's not THAT hot. Just uncomfortable and sticky and disgusting (what with all the porn). Trust me, if you knew this woman, you'd thank me.

[Basil]

Aww, it's not THAT hot. Just uncomfortable and sticky and disgusting (what with all the porn).

Wait, what exactly is it that you do you do for a living?

[JuniperWoolf]

Wait, what exactly is it that you do you do for a living?

Haha, I work at a video store that used to be a bank. What was at one point the vault has been converted to a little porn room without ventilation (it's really a lot like a prison cell... a prison cell filled with porn). I luckily never have to go in there because I work better with customers.

[Basil]

Nice! The video store I frequent has a sign: "Want porn? Make your own!"

[JuniperWoolf]

Haha I wish ours just did that. The adult room is pretty gross, all the movies in there are sticky (everyone has a different opinion as to why they're so sticky exactly).

[DanielBenoit]

[Niamh]

Aww, it's not THAT hot. Just uncomfortable and sticky and disgusting (what with all the porn). Trust me, if you knew this woman, you'd thank me.

Dont assume anything. :) I manage nearly 100 staff and not all of the like me and i dont necessarily like all of them. I've hear some pretty nasty things that have been said about me to other staff, things that have really angered me, but i'd never treat them any differently to everyone else for it. It would be very unprofessional if i did.

Up until a little over a year ago we had a shop here that was a freezer during the winter and a sauna during the summer and as tempting as it might be to throw the trouble makers etc down there we didnt. Everyone got there equal share of shifts down there and when it got too hot, we'd rotate staff every couple of hours because there was a threat the lack of air and heat might make the staff member collapse. I'd even have spent time down there to give someone a break. There are not just health and safety risks of leaving someone in a breathless, hot room for too long, there are also legal issues. :)

If it had been the opposite way around and it had been you who had insulted her and she had stuck you in there and the manager did nothing about it, would you have though it was fair? Even if you had cast the first stone? Would you have thought that five hours of stuffiness, heat and "stickiness" was just enough for a few words? Think about it. :)

(Sorry... I'm in work so i have my manager brain switched on. I can get like this with staff sometimes. I like to make them think about their actions.)

[JuniperWoolf]

Hmm, I guess that's what makes you a manager type whereas I work much better alone. I would have totally tossed the dissenters in the stuffy shop and kept my friends niiice and comfortable. :devil:

"Whats that? You're hot? Aww, well it's too bad that the water fountain's broken, eh?"

(By the way, I'm mostly kidding... mostly)

[Shalot]

[Dr. Cambridge]

:mad:My husband is a network admin and computers are his life. So, you would think that I would be happy with my computer.

But that's not how it is.

He often disconnects the internet when I need to use it. Or, he changes my settings. Or he logs onto my computer from a remote location.

I have been using a refurbished lap top. I mentioned something to him about how I wanted to buy myself a new computer. I just mentioned it in passing - it wasn't a request. It was just a statement. Two days later, I have a new desktop. I don't know if it's new, or just new to me, and I don't care about that.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
I'm glad you managed to post this interesting story before things went haywire for you, Shalot.

You could try using a word picture to illustrate to your husband the way you feel about this problem. Ask him what he would do if he was totally engrossed in some task and all this stuff and nonsense kept happening to really bug him. Remember to mention how intelligent he is and how ingenius you know he can be when it comes to solving difficult problems that no-one else understands.

Make it plain that you being simple and unknowledgeable in these matters have to rely on his great wisdom and incredible skills to resolve the matter.

If he's anything like me that'll do the trick!

[Heathcliff]

My teacher won't take my advice and STOP WEARING THAT TIE!!

[The Comedian]

BEWARE! The following is a rant from a teacher about his students. Kids hold your ears lest you be mocked!

I have this one writing class where students write to major reports (it's a business writing course). For the first report, I pick the topic -- this allows me and them to focus more on the rhetorical, organizational, and cognitive skills needed to complete the task and less on the endless "what topic should I pick" . . . . monologue.

When this project is assigned I hear a steady chorus of "I HATE THIS ASSIGNMENT! HATE! HATE! HATE! IF ONLY WE CAN CHOOSE WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! I HATE IT WHEN THE TEACHER GIVES ME THE TOPIC! HATE! HATE! HATE!

The next major project asks them to apply these same skills in a slightly different way to a topic of their own choosing. I leave the topic selection entirely up to them. And the chorus?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?? I HATE THESE VAGUE ASSIGNMENTS! HATE! HATE! HATE! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT?? HATE! THE TOPIC MAKES NO SENSE! HATE! YOU NEED TO TELL US WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT SO WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING! I HATE THIS TOPIC AND THIS ASSIGNMENT! HATE! HATE! HATE!

Of course, the people spewing the chorus of hate from assignment assignment one are the same people who spew the chorus of hate for assignment one.

To which I want to say (but tactfully never would): "Just shut up your hate-fulled mouth. Make a decision and go with it. Would YE complain of heaven too? Methinks you would, ya ingrate!"

END RANT

[LitNetIsGreat]

Oh I hear your pain brother. For me the word "boring" from students makes me want to inflict pain:

"This lesson is boring."
"We are only 5 minutes into it."
"I'm bored."
"We have not even passed the starter exercise yet."
“So, I am still bored.”
“Just get on with the task.”
"Can I go to the toilet?"
"No."
"I'm bored."
Calmly, "look, we are only 5 minutes into the lesson. We are just doing this little warm-up exercise then we are moving on."
"I can't be bothered."
"Just get on with it."
Tut, sigh, funny face. “It’s boring.”

etc, etc...

I HATE WILD ONIONS!!!

My horse (who has since passed, Rest In Peace) use to love to go to the back pasture and eat the wild onions. He would then proceed to run up to the fence (breathing heavily) when I came home from school. He would nearly KILL me with his breath. Now I have hoards of wild onions growing in my back yard. Whenever I mow....UGH...but at least I have memories of my wonderful horse (may he Rest In Peace).

[JuniperWoolf]

I once pegged a kid in the back of the head with an eraser for raising his hand in class and then asking the teacher (and this is like the hundredth time that he's done this):

"When are we actually going to need to know this stuff in real life?"

[DanielBenoit]

I know I've complained of this before, but I can't help it. Now I have almost no problem with the amount of violence in television and film, but I find the ideology and violence presented in 24 to be reprehensible.

The fact that television viewers are viewing the sociopathic Jack Bauer as so heroic is quite disturbing. Now I have no problem with anti-heroes or even corrupt heroes, but the fact that 24 is so political and allegorical to current events, the fact that it has for many years been offering audiences and numbing them of their humanity with scenes of torture as some fantastical ticking-time bomb scenario is applied. The fact that the show seems to justify almost everything Jack does makes it the most clearly fascist show ever to appear on television.

Now this does not shrink away the show's artistic merits, as it is very well made and despite some superficiality and just plain fantasy, the show achieves a level of realism that was needed in television. But that is not to say that the show is realistic as it consistently indulges itself in neo-conservative fantasies and conspirasies that are so outlandish that not even the fictional television show feels as if it can sustain them.

Now I am almost never offended by violence in media. I am a great fan of film directors such as Kubrick, Scorsese and Tarantino who all made some of the most violent films of their times. But I am offended when a show appears to justify its scenes of reprehensible torture brought about by its hero in the name of supporting a completely ridiculous scenario brought up by the last administration.

[Bastable]

I hate my job and everyone i work with. I work with a group of men who are a bunch of moronic chauvinists. Like this one guy i work with, TOTAL IDIOT, yet he likes to pounce on my bad hand writing as though that is an indication of stupidity, and to somehow pass his own bad handwriting off as a sign of intelligence. I'm not just being unfair and mean here - this guy is an uneducated, brutish chauvinist who seems incapable to think of anything but his penis and what he does with it.

Also, the men i work with have all decided i'm gay, because i refuse to take part when they perv on girls. Don't get me wrong, they're not just admiring their beauty, they are staring at their breasts and butts and fantasising about having sex with them - and i'm automatically gay because i don't want to do that??? because i have actual respect for women and don't like the idea of actively objectifying them??? AARRRGGH!!!!

I also spilled milk on my work pants while making breakfast this morning

[Heathcliff]

I'm in a grumpy and foul mood.

Andgy forgets he has rehearsals.

Apparently he blames it on me that I didn't tell him what time he had to go.

1. I told him he had rehearsals and to check his timetable.
2. It is HIS problem if he can't even do that.
3. He's in the play and I'm not, yet I know more about it than he does and it is my fault that he can't take responsibility for himself.
4. The music teacher didn't even yell at him. He was just 'don't worry these things happen.' Whilst only the day before he said that he said that the downpoint of his entire teaching career was the last choir rehearsal I was at.

My solution:
1. Be an absolute pest to my brother and not let him forget for an extended period of time.
2. Seek and achieve the sympathy of someone in the play.
3. Tell the music teacher that I demand that if my brother shows any more insubordinance to scream at him because I'm a hundred percent sure that he hasn't learnt his lesson.

Meanwhie I'll just be grumpy.

You know what gets me mad? Here's what gets me mad: When some innocent little book-reading kid is sitting comfortably in his couch-chair at Barnes and Noble, gets up and leaves his hat to mark his spot (i.e., this is my seat mother****ers), and then some lip-pierced ******* trying to hit on the blonde across from me takes my seat and doesn't even apologize or do anything when I come by to pick up my hat and tell this mother****er that this was my seat. Yes I'm pissed off about this.

Hello.Ihis is my first post and I kind of don't really know whether this is the right place to post my question so I beg to be forgiven :blush5: :rolleyes:
So to get to the point- English is not my first language, I study it at school and we had to translate a short story from O'Henry called "The Social Triangle" into our language.It doesn't have a proffesional translation.My question is what does "Eleventh" refer to in this particular case:"C'rect," said the bartender, smoothing the twelve one-dollar notes.
The crowd surged around Billy McMahan again. Some one was telling
how Brannigan fixed 'em over in the Eleventh. Ikey leaned against
the bar a while, and then went out."
I'd be tremendously grateful if you could give me an answer :)

[lostworld]

After reading some of the previous threads I think this is a good place to say this...What makes me mad and confuses me is that I don't understand how people can be so hateful! Some one I should be able to trust is the one that hurts me more than anything. What should I do? I don't want to walk away but at the same time I know its not good for me to let them treat me like this!

Why do girls keep lying about their age, and turn out to be minors, AFTER I hit on them to my hearts content. I really wish I had a time machine some times lol. ( not to make me go back in time, but to make them older )

[DocHeart]

Yea I'm mad.

I'm mad at Greek governments of the last 35 years, which have done nothing, nothing except appoint their voters to civil service, turning the country into a hydrocephalus that produces much less than it spends.

I'm mad at Greek people who have allowed this to happen, who never wanted to work more for more money, but always tried to work less without earning less.

As a Greek, I'm mad at every single Greek who did their bit in driving this country to absolute poverty.

I'm NOT mad at the Germans, the Brits, the Russians, the Americans, or anyone who has given us loans over the last 4 decades and now want their money back. I would, too.

I feel sorry for the generation of my parents, who now find themselves with virtually no pension. But I'm also mad at them, because they *STILL, EVEN NOW* nag me about not becoming a civil servant and choosing instead to create my own business with all the risks and hard work involved.

I feel mad at the people who see me working my *** off in order to keep my company going and think: "look at that stupid git walking around in a suit, thinking he's the bee's knees". They sit at the cafe and order a cup of coffee which costs 5 euros, and they do it every day with pocket money given to them by their parents, and NEVER ONCE do they seriously think about becoming more productive for their own sake and for the sake of this country.

But most of all, I feel mad at myself. I feel mad at myself because I *could* have worked harder, I *could* have contributed more, I *could* have RESISTED more, and I didn't.

Regards,
Christos

So, now, we self-destruct.

It's goodbye from Greece. We're now killing each other in downtown avenues. Is there a power (an Olympian god, perhaps, or one of our Eurovision song contest winners) that could stop the country from plunging into economic and social abyss?

I doubt it.

Good health to everyone.

If you need an ear mk you can pm. I do not read the blogs on LN, no slight intended, as I don't read the blogs where I blog either. I would not have time for anything else.

Mine was no big deal actually. I was too obsessive over an old instructor of mine, and while this is in no way his fault, I hurt the way I lived over those feelings, so it took a bit of doing to contact him, but I did, and I did not fall to the center of the earth, and on the whole it was good to touch base.:biggrin5:

And never feel guilty about spreading it to the family, if you don't then some stranger will. At least we know what the symptoms are and what to expect. Poor dear.

Why are passports such a pest, I have been mucking about with mine and the kids, for 3 months. I have been to the PO four times already they have found err, arfter err. Everytime I fix one thing they find another. We're not criminals, all born here in this land and have never had financial or emotional issues. It shouldn't be that hard. Tomorrow is the last time I try. And if it doesn't happen I am heading into the head office in the city and make a lot of noise. How PATHETIC!

[Indyben]

I am tired and has a slight headache, and also quite a bit of homework to do...ugh...I'm not going to be utilizing my sleep-in tomorrow. Wah.

[JuniperWoolf]

Have you ever been in a situation where someone truly aggregates you, so instead of standing there and yelling in their face you walk away and log on to litnet in a desperate attempt to distract your mind away from the situation? One in which you would really love to ream this person out, but you either don't have the guts or the emotional fortitude to do so? I know that I certainly have, and that is why I made this thread. Without any threat of hurt feelings or repercussions, feel free to rant away at this real-life person who will never, ever read the sublimation of your rage.

As thread-maker, I'll go first.

Jesus Christ woman, let me sleep! Does it really cause you anything to just **** off and leave me alone? I made my goddamn quota, so I can do what I want and you can happily go pester someone else who's shirt isn't properly tucked in or who isn't eating their soup properly.

[mikemaster70]

To the kind drivers of the road,
Why do you insist on upsetting me? I'm just a small child driving upon this road minding my own business trying to reach my destination and here you come speeding up behind me, scarring the bajeezes out of me, having me think your going to run me over and then at the last minute passing me. Thank you. I needed that in my day. Also, to you kind lady, who rode on my bumper for a good mile, why can you not pass me? Are you incapable of passing people? I'm not going to go any faster because I don't want to speed. You should know this after following me for the last 30 feet.

[DanielBenoit]

Pre-script: I am NOT going to debate anyone who replies to this, there have already been enough stupid debates over this already.

The rant: Don't you hate it when you are surrounded by people who are totally ignorant?

Okay, so I'm with my sister and her friend, and somehow we get on the subject of evolution (believe me, these girls are NOT intellectuals). Well, first it started with global warming (don't even get me started on that), then somebody brought up evolution and my sister said that she "totally does not believe in that" and her friend says, "Well I believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs or whatever, but I don't believe that we came from monkeys, that's like, too much."

Genius.

So I budge in and ask, "So what do you know about evolution?" and my sister says "Enough to know that it's just a load of bull", and I ask her if she knows what natural selection is, how about gene flow? how about just simply adaptation? Silence to every one of those.

It just pisses me off how so many people (in America at least) seem to deny evolutions validity and yet don't even understand basic concepts such as natural selection or reveal their own ignorance of the scientific method by stating "but it's just a theory!"

Post-script: Again, I refuse to start a debate with anyone on this thread. If you have a really big problem with this, then PM. I DON'T want this post ending up being deleted because somebody had to start a debate with me.

[OrphanPip]

At least, there's still hope for the friend.

[JuniperWoolf]

Haha, the fact that people like that exist just kills me. I've never met one, but I'm told that they're everywhere. I can't believe that people that stupid and lacking in education even survive. Haha, you should tell them that the best argument against evolution is that by the process of natural selection, they shouldn't even exist.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone truly aggregates you, so instead of standing there and yelling in their face you walk away and log on to litnet in a desperate attempt to distract your mind away from the situation?

When I'm truly aggravated, it's very difficult for me to walk away and log on to litnet because that's usually where I am.

To my non-official rival,

Stop trying to please everyone by taking credit for things that you didn't do! Even if you're not saying you've done those lovely deeds AT LEAST CORRECT PEOPLE WHEN THEY THANK YOU FOR THEM!!! If I was better at computers and such I would hack you and send out emails to everyone who's ideas I have stolen and APOLOGIZE FOR MAKING THEM FEEL LIKE THEIR WORK DOESN'T MATTER.

:incazzato:No, I am not jealous of your new girlfriend; you were the one who said she was stoned every night, not me. If you were really happy with her, why do you keep calling me to tell me how happy you are with her. And no, I wouldn't sleep with you now anyway because you probably have caught something by now...:ciappa:You don't really think all of your friends hang out at your house when you're working to keep an eye out for you, do you:dupe:

[IceM]

Dating every guy you know I'm not friends with doesn't make me jealous, it makes you pathetic. You've cried after every relationship you've ever had because every guy I can't stand (and you've dated) has cheated on you or tried to sexually manipulate you. I told you this would happen. I told you when you dumped me that no other guy would see what I saw in you, love you how I did, care for you like I cared. I was right. Now you're stuck crying away your tear glands, calling me for comfort, falling back on any support I'm suprisingly still willing to give you because I told you you made a mistake. Tough luck. You dumped me, and this is what you have.

I've designated a special place in my "instant forwarding to voicemail and instant deletion of text messages" folder for you. I hope that makes you feel special.

[DanielBenoit]

Sorry, I don't hang out with ******* narcissists like you. I can always reassure myself of my superiority over you by reminding myself of the fact that while you play video games all day, I'm reading Joyce.

[zoolane]

1,Liar

2,No shame or remorse of any trouble hes causes.

3, Borrow money never pay it back.

4,Two face (turn any argument about he actions, round on other people. For example: last 2 yrs of live in London, very argument, was my fault and even when I was no where near the situation).

5, Can't hold a job down.

6, He son get him job, borrow money from everyone then leave or get fire. but leave all debts son to pay.

7, Son give him car and run in ground within 2 months but it was good condition when he got car from he son.

8, Put bills in other people names eg: son and wife,does not pay bills then we get baliaffs letter or visit as he wife recently.

9, Wants everyone feel sorry for him.

10, Always think of himself.

11, My dad died 2007, if I still was live in London, I would of keep close eye on him and got him help, support also made sure that he in hospital need to be. My mum left my dad about 18 moths before he died.

Not with mother-in law for 2-3 months which personally think she better of with him.

Was seen my sister-in law other day, apparently let himself go.

I wish just died maybe sound harsh but I know my mother-in law feel sorry himself and help him or he come back tail between he legs and everything start again.

He is mainly reason why my partner move, which was good decision because we all are better people, house and school are better where we are now.

If we visit London he back in my mother -in law life, now do I reaction polite, be pretend he not here or walk out?

I don't how I would be able keep my mouth shut for long.

I am sorry if offended anyone with comment I made.

How can they cancel our vacations this early? How do they expect us to focus in this scorching heat?

[dafydd manton]

Do you really HAVE to say "like" every third word???? What on earth does "It was so, like, wow!" supposed to mean? And if you were "like walking down the road", was it like walking, such as hopping, crawling, rolling, using a pogo stick, or do you mean it was like a road, such as a path, alleyway, track, six-lane highway? SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!!

Dear string of bad luck that has been attaching itself to my dad,

You break the poor guy's legs, now he can't play hockey ever again. His second wife leaves him. The taps keep breaking. His house has been broken into five times in the last ten years. His friends die. His parents are sick. The annual charity hockey tournament that he organized ten years ago in memory of our friends has been overrun by stupid out-of-town partiers that could give a **** less, and has been shut down because of the fights. Now his truck that he needs for work is broken, and it will cost five thousand dollars to fix. Please leave my dad alone.

Sincerely, Robin.

Tell your dad things should start getting better; string has moved onto me:sick:

I almost called you today; I felt guilty about our...I don't know, what is it we do, those 2 hour conversations where you keep changing the conversation so that you always think you sound right...

Your mother invited me over to her party...again, yeah, she invited me to July 4th too; the party she told you to leave Miss Drama queen home from...

I looked up codependent relationships today; yes, I have more than half of the signs. I'd be alot better if you'd just stop calling me; if I could forget about you, if I stopped seeing your family...I did alot better until you called again...Just leave me alone a**-h*** and let me live

[DanielBenoit]

Hey kid! Yeah you! Quite crying like a little baby and go do your ****ing job! Excuse me? Sweeping the porch is too hard for you so you have to cry? Well let me tell you something; we're all working our asses off all day while you sit and watch TV. Quite pissin' and moanin' and grow up. You're ten years old, not four, and you're ****ing crying over the fact that we're forcing you to get up off your ***. A little work never hurt nobody. Jesus kid, what's so painful about sweeping a broom around? Is it really hard-labour? Are we abusing you with too much work? Maybe we should take you to some countries in which some kids like you have to do some actual work and maybe you'll think twice next time you break-down because you had to do a little job.

In case you haven't got it by now; going to a nice family get together does not include your 2 year old climbing on me with filled diapers, your 5 year old screaming in my ear, your 13 and 14 year old fighting over the video game and your 22 year old making snide remarks about my lack of godliness...Your purple dining room makes me feel claustrophobic when their are 8 people around it and you only serve enough food for 4...

Why don't we meet sometime after all of your kids have left home

[DanielBenoit]

Oh, by the way, I play video games and I don't want to hang out with you narcissists a**wipes either...

Lol, well it has less to do with video games than whether or not the person themselves are *******s are not. And my case, this one person clearly is an *******.

Hey Mark, let them be, I am enjoying this. I haven't stopped laughing.

[mikemaster70]

Dear lady who lives in my house,
The man whom you call "boyfriend" is awful. He constantly burps, farts, and doesn't close the door when he uses the bathroom. Can you please tell him to have some manners in this household as he is a 50+ year old man and should know what not to do when he comes into someone else's home. Can you also please stop arguing about every ridiculous thing that comes to mind. I understand arguments happen during a relationship, but this is just ridiculous. Every single night at every single hour, really? He doesn't even say your his girlfriend! If a man is ashamed or refuses to acknowledge his care and compassion for you, like you are doing by giving him the title "boyfriend," then please get rid of him. I don't want to see his skanky face around here because he causes more trouble. All you want to keep him around for is money and so he can fix anything you can't, except for this relationship, and to **** him. On top of that, can you please restrain yourselves from groping and making out with each other in my presence. I don't need to be seeing that, especially from the woman who's vagina I've come from. Thank you.

[Genocide]

Hey Mark, let them be, I am enjoying this. I haven't stopped laughing.

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Ok, this thread comes in handy today. :banghead: The text below is a quick and dirty translation of what I wrote for the local morning paper a couple of minutes ago:

We have had right hand traffic in this country since 1967. I still remember all the hooraw thrown up at the time, aimed at really making certain that EVERYONE knew about it...

Now then: Can anyone explain to me why a terrifyingly high percentage of the cyclists I meet on the bike lane swerves to the LEFT when we get close to each other? Due to the fact that the reflex to keep to the RIGHT is deeply ingrained in me (yes, since 1967!) this has caused a few rather hairy near accidents.

...like the one this morning. I met a bloke and he swerved (where else?) to the left, forcing me clean off the road! Needless to say, this upset me a bit, so I growled at him to shape up. To my surprise he yelled back, telling me that I should have turned the other way: He really did not KNOW!

That was a stupid move on his part, as I promptly blew every single one of my fuses and really let him have a decidedly nasty piece of my mind. I will not relate the rest of the discussion, but it ended when he crept away like a whipped dog. Now at least he knows, but I wonder how he has managed to stay alive this long?

/Claes

[papayahed]

Doh! Claes, The same thing kinda happened to me yesterday as well, but it was with a jogger. I'm bicycling on the right side and this jogger is coming towards me on my side of the trail. What the heck is that?? Anyways he points at his right side. (Is he telling me to go to the right side?? ) So I point to the right side and stay where I'm at and he moved to his right where he belonged!! arghhh!!! You're supposed to be on the right side anyways!!

You know what else bugs me is that very few people know the rules of the trail. It's just like driving, stay on the right and pass on the left. If you're passing it's courteous to say "On the left".

To the idiot football commentator (given that I loathe the game) who said : "If that had gone in the net that would have been a goal!" Yes, I know, I'm not that stupid, even somebody like me that has never played the game has worked that out, how the blazes am I supposed to explain your moronic statement to my 4-year old granddaughter, who had worked it out for herself!!!

Ah, but Mark, I could never be cross with you...should I tell my feelings on this rant page...a love that dare not speaks its name...
I found I could contain it no more, so I sat outside your publishers; someone threw a handful of change from an 8th story building (I still have bruises). I went to ask your wife to let you go, she sent me away with a good flea in my ear; your dog bit me, I sold his saliva sample on ebay (there seems to be a group who is buying anything of yours they can get their hands on)...I am now at home, complaining on this thread, a much sadder but wiser old woman:bawling:


Hey Mark, let them be, I am enjoying this. I haven't stopped laughing.

Always good to see you Mary; whom no one could possibly rant about.

Dear lady who lives in my house,
The man whom you call "boyfriend" is awful. He constantly burps, farts, and doesn't close the door when he uses the bathroom. Can you please tell him to have some manners in this household as he is a 50+ year old man and should know what not to do when he comes into someone else's home. Can you also please stop arguing about every ridiculous thing that comes to mind. I understand arguments happen during a relationship, but this is just ridiculous. Every single night at every single hour, really? He doesn't even say your his girlfriend! If a man is ashamed or refuses to acknowledge his care and compassion for you, like you are doing by giving him the title "boyfriend," then please get rid of him. I don't want to see his skanky face around here because he causes more trouble. All you want to keep him around for is money and so he can fix anything you can't, except for this relationship, and to **** him. On top of that, can you please restrain yourselves from groping and making out with each other in my presence. I don't need to be seeing that, especially from the woman who's vagina I've come from. Thank you.

Mike, you are much wiser for this experience (I guess I should give you my daughters email; she also experienced this when I became wild in my mid-forties) I might suggest that you look around for one of your 20 year old friends for mom; they don't tend to have the digestive problems, they usually walk out before she begins to argue, they will probably take over your chores also and mom will walk around with a huge smile on her face...

To Mom,

It's quiet at night. People sleep then. Let's keep it quiet. I like to sleep.

From,
Son

To new girlfriend,

Your saliva isn't meant to digest my face.

Regards,
Boyfriend

There was once a book out, an old boyfriend of mine bought it, it told you how to french kiss; first practicing on grapes...he got much better and when I broke up with him because he had to turn the book back in before it taught him anything else; he married a girl whose face looked like a raseberry.


@ Claes: I always swerve in the direction I'm looking at or my hand is held...


hmmmm is it too difficult to begin a conversation on your own even when you know you want it? If then kindly do spare a moment to learn it just like you learn your mathematics, chemistry, physics and all the nerdy stuff! :mad:

the same old Scher :) with the same old terrifying mod-button! :p

I think we lost something in translation; do you want the person to talk about something nerdy; or move the conversation to something light...

Don't you love those people who always say; oh, i like that too...

Of course, that happened to me, some really hot fellow invited me to see the "Spandau ballet", I told him I loved ballet....:shocked: He didn't answer and he didn't call me back...:troll:

I asked one of the neighborhood boys to turn down his boombox, it was shaking my windows; a friend of his told him to turn it up...I began to walk down the block and yelled out, "hey" It must have been a very strange sight to see a 50+ year old woman, thin hair hanging down, wearing ran over yard shoes and mens sweats pounding down the pavement after a crowd of thugs:smilielol5: They turned off the music.

Ha ha, thanks for the advice, I'll start searching now! I wouldn't mind some help with the chores, and hopefully a younger man will have better eye sight to notice the door on the hinges of the bathroom.

I like picking my nose, lol, blowing it is so disgusting and then you have to taste it if you dont do it right, and hurt your head. whats the point of that? lol.

anyway, my rant.

You call it drama, I call it being upfront. So hide in your little world and run from every problem for the rest of your life, but one day you will have to face the fact that anything worth being part of will have to go through harder times, it doesnt matter if its early or later, the fact is it will happen. Find your heart, its a big one, let it live for once.

[grace86]

Teehee I like this thread...

For crying out loud you are a company that boasts on it's foundation being that of "helping the working class" but what the heck, you call the working class and schedule them for an interview for a specific job opening - herd us altogether and tell us you want us to work on commission for a sales position - of which none of us applied for!!! You LIED to the working class you proclaim to help!! What the?!! REALLY?! I will not work for professional liars who think it is ethically okay to do this in order to boost sales. :flare: Wasted the first four hours of my already skipped work day!!!

I love you my bestie, but I can only ask you a million times if you are alright. I open the door to talk to you because I know you're feeling jealous that I am hanging out with someone to help her plan her wedding...and so I try to include you in the plans, parties, and make time to hang out with you - but if you don't want to talk to me I can't help. So pleeeeezz just stop holding it back and shooting nasty remarks at me about my personal life....I know what's really wrong and you just need to come out and talk to me!!

[soundofmusic]

Or, if she doesn't like the young one; I'll send you my address and a shipping box:hurray:

No, no, no...you can only pick your nose on the toilet, in your bedroom....never in the class room and definitely not in the kitchen...I am curious how you taste it...wait, I don't think I want to know

No, I have decided, I am not answering your phone calls...yes, I know you called 8 times today...
I am tired of being your part-time friend, post-time lover, all the time banker, taxi, messenger, phone operator...
I can be fudged up all by myself; I don't need you anymore:mad:

hella nah nose pickin for life! Yo! lol, well id have to be in a classroom for more then a week to be able to pull that one off, doesnt work well for me lol. lol well when you blow your nose sometimes it can fall into your mouth if you speek or yawn. lol I can feel the people cringing.

[dafydd manton]

I didn't realise that there was so much etiquette on the picking of the proboscis. I see I shall have to be more circumspect in the future. Are big, red, spotted handkerchiefs still acceptable?

Okay, I am holding a nose blowing etiquette seminar sometime before hay fever season...I spent too many years with a brother who did some awful hauking sound in the mornings and spit and a sister who seemed to think that snot spiced up the evening meals...NO MORE...

To my loan shark: it is not my job to insure that you collect collateral before handing me money...:hand:

To my brothers: Remember when you laughed because dad took me out of the will (because I always fall on my feet)...you might want to check the new will...yep, it all goes to our sister and her convict son...do you still want to spend all of your vacations bored to tears in Florida:smilielol5:

To my ex: I'm trying to figure out why I'm more fixated on your girlfriend than you...last I looked, she seems to have a shrunken head (like in beatle juice) on huge limbs, are the plumbing boots and tatooed writing all the way up the arm a fashion statement?

To me:HEY LOSER, FOCUS

[JuniperWoolf]

Hey SELF! Why, oh why did you think that it would be a GOOD idea to pop three powerful zopiclone sleeping pills for fun? You moron, now you're going to be dead to the world for god knows how long, and your dreams are going to be all strange and vivid and trippy and inspiring... actually, now I remember why I did it and this probably will be f... f... funn....

I like to go to the faucet and wash my nose with water, then I use a steroid spray...Don't yawn anywhere near the same time you are clearing your nose; has the same affect as upchucking...

Only around your dogs neck, or old John Wayne movies. The problem with handkerchiefs is once used, they are just something nasty to carry in your pocket. Do they do kleenex in England, I noticed they are very environmentally aware there; I expected to have to blow dry after a wiz...:eek2: Oh, and then they have the paper cups that disentigrate 10 minutes after you pour your coffee...I guess that may be why you have the red kercheif...:idea:

Don't worry, I'm sitting at the bedside, listening and making sure you don't need to go to the hospital...Good stuff, why did you say my boyfriends name:toetap05: Oh well, I guess there may be a few Bobs around..:icon_bs:

Okay, Okay, :party: this person is having way more fun than I am and sharing their bed everynight with someone very sexy....

If I call her parole officer to tell that she is doing heroine; am I being a good dobee for saving a life or a bad dobee because it may be jealousy:leaving:

[papayahed]

Why the heck should I care more about your health then you do? It is not my job to get you information on a personal medical condition.

And why do you have to be like that???

And, you I'm already annoyed at you because I'm pretty sure you aren't going to follow through.

[dafydd manton]

Soundofmusic, we do indeed have kleenex or the equivilant, but heck, what are sleeves for? In truth, I agree, the "hankie" my mother insisted I always carry was one of the most revolting concepts known to man.

I did like embroidering hankies. Now, if a person would carry a whole pile, keep a little laundry bag with them and just throw them in after one use....
don't mind me; there are two areas of the body (that being a nurse has only made me more obsessive about) the respiratory tract and the female reproductive system... I could never eat lunch when I worked on either floor.

No, I am not prejudiced against your family because you are an immigrant, or because you are a particular ethnicity, or because you cannot speak english.
All I want is for you to keep your children from running wild all over the public places we have to share. The laundry is not a good place to bring beach toys, play tag or hide and seek in the washers. Please have the courtesy to bring extra diapers and if your child is not potty trained, keep them in something waterproof so that I don't slip on urine or worse. Why don't you bring your children little drinks and snacks so that they don't come to stare at me while I'm drinking; and why don't you bring a book and play quietly with them instead of Spending all of your time on the :incazzato::incazzato::incazzato:phone

This is so very unfair on your *new* girlfriend and in poor taste in my opinion. Rather than talking about it on the internet, why wouldn't you discuss it with her?


I have a curious question for you: what makes you think I already haven't discussed this with her? This thread allows me to rant about what ticks me off. My girlfriend is a TERRIBLE kisser. I do believed I'm allowed to rant about it. Other people are ranting of ex-lovers and bad drivers and other assorted tidbits of information: what makes MY post unfair and in "poor taste?" (And I'm not saying that other posters have "poorer taste," whatever that phrase means). Does ranting about my girlfriend make my post any more unfair than the others for ranting much more seriously than I?

Another curious question: could you not pose your "Why don't you discuss (insert issue here)" question to any of the other posters in this thread? I find it very unfair on me and in poor taste in my opinion that you single out my post because I mock my girlfriend's kissing. Just some food for thought.

It's cool, Iceman, there are probably just a lot more former slobbering kissers on the thread than young jailbirds datig women in their dottage or nosepickers.

My hat is off to you for keeping ther girlfriend and for still kissing; maybe tell her to take a benadryl, it'll dry her up.

Damn grocery store. I don't want help taking my groceries to the car!!!

Whether you have discussed it with your girlfriend or not, posting about this issue on a public forum which has thousands of members is unfair, I believe, simply because (and I am quoting you here) "[you] mock [your] girlfriend's kissing." Had you been asking, for example, how to deal with this issue without hurting her feelings, it would have been different. However, making fun of someone for whom, in theory, you care on a personal and private matter is, indeed, in poor taste.

How would she feel if she found out about your post? How would you feel if you found out that she was "ranting" about a private issue in your relationship on a public forum behind your back?

Oh, and, here is some "food for thought" for you: "Don't kiss and tell." Especially not on a public forum.

It is such a great relief that you do not work as an agony aunt!

Darling, when I say that I've already seen the film and it was rubbish, I don't want to know what the next scene is, I don't want a precis of the plot, I don't want telling how funny it is, and if you want me, I shall be in my office, with a bottle of plonk, and on Litnet.

Darn Scher, I was going to ask you to give me a reference; they have an opening for the "agony aunt" position that Ivana Trump is retiring from...
I was thinking of doing something more like Dr Ruth or Helen Girley Brown...

I don't know, daf, you may be missing some a really good snack plate and lots of hugs; when I used to try and entice my man into watching one of my movies, I had ulterior motives...

I'm still waiting for the day when I can say anything I want in public and it's okay; because I'm old....Also, I want to break wind in the back of a church and have people ignore me; because I am old...I don't think I will ever darken a church door again...no, not even for anyones funeral...I might show up for a will reading:bigear: I wonder if I could break wind then?
