You know what's annoying?

[FreddyKnuckles]

There's this shaft thinger that runs through our entire building.  I'm not sure what its purpose is, or what its original purpose was, but it's there, and we have a little window in our bathroom that open into said shaft, which we use to vent out shower steam.  Some really cool person, though, uses their little shaft window to vent their nasty cigarette smoke.  Now that its cold outside, they don't wanna go outside anymore or open their windows.  So its straight into the shaft.  The windows don't really shut completely, so now my whole fucking bathroom smells like a god damn ash tray.  Its really bad.   

I don't know quite what approach to take, because the layout of apartments is strange, and I'm not sure who is doing it and on what floor, etc.  I'm really anti-passive-aggressive notes.  We get a ton of those here, and our neighbors are really snooty.  My favorite was the last sentence of one "if you can afford to live at ____, then you can afford to hire movers".  haha assholes! 

But the point is that I really didn't want to put up a note, because I'm not really feelin' that.  But it kept happening and I was getting pissed, so finally I put up a very nice note with no passive aggression.  It stopped for a while, but it has gotten colder again, and all of yesterday and today it has been nasty ass smoke smell all up in our bathroom.

So here's my new plan, and tell me what you think or if you have a better one.  I was thinking about putting notes underneath people's doors on this side of the building, (probably 15-20 apartments). And use second person style pronouns (you, your, etc).  That way they'll be embarrassed thinking that someone somehow knows who it is.

It's pretty annoying, I mean, if your lazy ass wants to smoke inside, then you should have a stinky ass apartment, not me.

It's a weird old DC code mandatory fire escape, Freddy - I have one in my building too.

[jebreject]

There's a holiday part at work tomorrow. We get fifteen extra minutes of aux time (that is, time when we aren't accepting calls). I am not scheduled, and hell if I'm taking the bus downtown just for some free food.

[jebreject]

I want to check out one of these fire escapes! Is it like a chute? Tell me it's like a chute!

It's more like a shaft.  Next time you're in DC I'll show it to you.

[das kranke Tier]

Yeah, Jeb, be sure to get a good look at Dave's shaft for me next time you're in the District...

[DCDave]

It's a towering shaft.

[mriley]

Someone shoved dogshit up into the handle of the driverside door of my car!!!!

I managed to get the bulk of it out but they really packed it in there, and I still can't stick my hand under the handle without getting a little but of it on me.  I am carrying around paper towels just so I don't have to smell like shit everytime I get into my car.

[elpollodiablo]

Man, that's ruthless.

[das kranke Tier]

Seriously.  Did you piss someone off lately or was it a random act of fuckin'-someone's-day-up?

[diesel_powered]

Man, that's some bullshit. The stabbin's need to happen.

My school's campus is pretty much the local dog park for most and lately, the assholes have taken to just dropping their neatly plastic-wrapped dog shit into the ashtrays outside buildings. It's real classy.

So tomorrow I was gonna have me 18th at the public gardens. I was pleased by the genius of this idea, cos I wouldn't feel so host-like, wouldn't have to clean up the next day, wouldn't feel like there weren't enough people there and could leave at any point if I wanted. Also the last party I had at my house i had a shite time, even though I could see twas a good party, so that's put me off my house.

So what happens today? RAIN. Which is very likely to continue/get worse tomorrow.

Rad!

Also, Riley, what'd you do to deserve that?

So I got glasses. It is kind of annoying because I have astigmatism, so my brain got used to everything looking all slanty, and now that I have glasses everything looks all weird and slanty and two-dimensional, and combined with the higher resolution the glasses give my sight it feels like I'm in some kind of weird video game.

Also annoying is that everybody looks uglier now that I can see their faces better. Or, if they don't even have ugly features, their faces look all deformed from the glasses. I couldn't tell if the woman at the grocery store had Downs or just liked to smile a lot.

Anyway here is what I look like with glasses. I'm thinking the beard has to go.

[Augo]

WRONG

[YojimboMonkey]

Maybe just a goatee.  And a crowbar.

[diesel_powered]

Ahhhh, a crowbar or a prybar?

[RoyBiggins]

You look like coldforge.

[santaclaustral]

Well, somebody had to say it.

[Greg Nog]

There's this scientist at my workplace who looks like a chubby Gordon Freeman.  I always see him around, and without fail, all that goes through my head is the phrase, "Blah blah blah, Mr. Freeman."

After being mocked almost continuosly for the fact that I'm terrible at single player video games I decided to make it my mission to beat Spyro over my six week break. I had tried and quit before because, well, I'm bad at this kind of game.

LAST NIGHT I GOT INTO THE ZONE. I beat so much! I did so well!

This morning? The data on my memory card was somehow corrupted and it made me delete it and now I have to start over or give up. Minus ten points, nintendo

[El_Josharino]

Oh shit dudes. Bono ate at a couple restaurants a block from my house on Sunday. I completely missed out on probably my only chance to punch him in the face. Or something.

[YojimboMonkey]

I sure would take it as a kindness if you could find some way to permanently wreck his vocal cords

(Mindy loves U2 and always has U2 songs playing in the car.  Damian will cover his ears whenever Bono starts singing falsetto.  It is hilarious)

[C of heartbreak]

Well, somebody had to say it.

You make it sound like an insult, santa.

[Augo]

Why was Bono in Omaha?
