Go stick your head in a pig: Annoyed complaints

[clare]

Oh no! At least the fact that you have to go lots on the masitis side means that the blister side gets a bit of rest.
Good luck - these early days are hard.

[diesel_powered]

The rubber backing from my cheap ass rug under my desk is sticking to the floor. Hopefully enough polish will cover the fact that I had to scrape it up with a credit card.

Internet communities are always going to be gathering places for assholes, aren't they?

[Good Intentions]

Andrew, you've been really touchy lately. Perhaps you're overreacting just a little?

I read that thread in the Earbuds, and for me your complaint about being condescended to came out of blue air.

[Thermofusion]

Andrew, you've been really touchy lately. Perhaps you're overreacting just a little?

yeah, and this post wasn't condescending at all

[elpollodiablo]

No. It wasn't. I'm still baffled as to why tisskiss picked a fight with narlus like that.

Internet communities are always going to be gathering places for assholes, aren't they?

I'm sorry, Andrew, I will shut up about my boobs already.

[Good Intentions]

It's certainly possible that Andrew could read something bad into what I've just said, and there's not really anything I could do about that except stay quiet. I'm hoping that the fact that Andrew and I are both really earnest and we both know it to count in my favour. In my posting history there have been times when I've snapped at people in a similar way (not recently, thank god) and now, some time down the track, I'm tremendously embarrassed about that. There were times when I've had a lot to worry about and too much time to worry in and that has made me be unpleasant. I'd much rather have kept a closer guard on my mouth then than have those pangs of conscience now. So I guess that's why I said something.

You are hanging back, waiting for a car that's vacating a parking space to finish its maneuver, as the parking is off a narrow alley, and you don't want to make the guy wait for you to take over his space before he can exit. Some ... person ... cuts around you and pulls into the space you were waiting for (and yes, you were signaling). Do you:

a) immediately starting looking for a loose brick,
b) find other parking, do your errands, and the key the car on your way out if it is still there, or
c) dial 1-800-SIG-UROS and not let the ... person ... make your Graves flare up, because you have to put your health ahead of your sense of right and wrong.

Ugh, I hate it when people pull that shit.

So I was in NYC from Wed evening to tonight, and my cat sitter (a fellow grad student) never fucking showed up. Luckily Calliope is ok—she was just really hungry and wanting attention when I got home, and she's been in my lap non-stop since. My friend claims the key fob I gave him didn't work, but he a.) says he didn't come over until yesterday (when he had agreed to stop by a couple of times while I was gone, Thurs and Sat) and b.) didn't even call me until today when I was on the plane home, when he left message, so I assume that he actually didn't stop by until sometime today. I can sort of understand being flaky like that for a normal favor, but when a living creature is depending on you? That's just fucked up, and I'm really thankful that I wasn't depending on him to give her water (her fountain has over a week's supply) nor was gone any longer. Not sure what to say to him since it's not like anything can be done now except obviously to never ask him to cat sit again, but considering I work with him regularly, I feel kind of compelled to express my frustration at least somewhat in order to not hold a grudge.

[G.C.R]

Man, Jess, you have to say something. That is appalling, and I think you are being remarkably restrained, something like that would make me fucking spit tacks. I'm glad Calliope is ok!

My friend who I posted about a while ago who always fucks up his words (him who talks about "hoarding cats") is a sweet guy, but dang if he cant be amazingly tactless. I mentioned something about when I was living in my old place, which was a council flat and the only way I could afford to live alone and not starve, and he was like "oh yeah, when you used to live in that slum, ha". Then he kept telling me my current home was "weird". I'M SO SORRY YOUR HIGHNESS SIR

[das kranke Tier]

I got bit on the scrot by two fire ants...

 

It effin' hurts!

[Bernard]

a) That's terrible about the cat-not-sitter. He should feel free to starve himself for days, but somebody else's pet!

b) What is it with people who say that shit? Is your friend by any chance 'just being honest'? I hate it when people use honesty as a cover for saying horrible things. They never seem to appreciate how honest others can be in return.

c) I imagine they're called fire ants for a reason, and I am so very sorry for your nethers.

WHO THE FUCK ALLOWED THIS TO COME TO FRUITION I DEMAND ANSWERS.  OH BOY ROBIN WILLIAMS IN BLACKFACE AND GROTESQUE RICTUS BOTOX SHENANIGANS FOR TRAVOLTA AND HEY CHILDREN LETS RENT CAMERAS AND PURCHASE FILMSTOCK.  CHRIST ALFUCKINGMIGHTY HOLLYWOOD, KINDLY GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

[YojimboMonkey]

2:00 am, I'm getting ready to go to bed, I walk through the kitchen and there's water an inch deep all through the kitchen, it's coming out of the dishwasher and it just won't stop. The shutoff valve is shit, I managed to get it slowed to a trickle though and then I spent an hour cleaning up goddamn water and now I gotta find someplace where I can buy a water inlet valve for this dishwasher so that I can fix the dishwasher and actually be able to go to Mom's for Thanksgiving and relax and not have to worry about this mess

xpost w/ myke, that movie does look like shit, i guess I didn't pay close enough attention to get personally offended by it though, I was just like, Robin Williams?  not gonna be funny *attention someplace else*

[Maaik]

Yeah, I guess the trailer hit Hulu not too long ago and since then I've been seeing it fucking all the time.

Sucks about the dishwasher man.  Hopefully yeah, it'll be an easy fix.

My brother once--not knowing any better--put regular dish soap in the dishwasher and it looked like a fucking foam party in our parents kitchen.  Us three siblings rushed around trying to clean it up before our parents came home--fucking up a bunch of mom's towels in the process.  It was like a goddamn episode of the Brady Bunch.

All this anti-vaccination bullshit floating around is going to make me blow my fucking lid. Vaccinations are a fantastic idea which have proven to be an indispensible element in public health. The pointless hysteria around the MMR vaccine is turning into a slow-burning medical disaster as previously manageable diseases again start to make serious inroads among children, with terrible results. The flu vaccine has again and again and again been shown to be a major weapon against it, especially in slowing the spread of the virus and especially in sensitive situations (to the point where it is damn close to malpractice for a health professional to not get vaccinated). The question isn't whether we should go get vaccinated. The question is whether vaccination should be made mandatory. I know quite a few people working on it, and the more you look at the question the harder it is to come up with good reasons to say 'no'. We certainly should get the vaccine, we should encourage everybody else to get vaccinated, and we should do everything in our power to spread it. The end.

Hey, everybody should record themselves s... aw, fuck it.

But, GI, vaccinations made Jenny McCarthy's kid autistic. Everyone knows that.

[Good Intentions]

Anti-vaccination talk will make me wring Jenny McCarthy's neck and string up all these lying fuckers who are doing their best to undo one of the great clear successes of modern healthcare.

[andronicus]

Kids, eat your vitamins or this angry philosopher will strangle you.

[Good Intentions]

Nobody would be able to stop me, either, not as they lie incapacitated by measles and HPV-caused genital warts.

[andronicus]

I once got an MMR vaccination and it caused me to forget Spanish.

[Good Intentions]

Oh shit, who was that again?
