That'd be cool, if I could step up on that forum.

It's an anime one. Somewhat similar to this place, but, just barely a year old.

Hehe. Yeah. :bloobleh: Week suspension would've been slightly more reasonable.

I got to see that someday. 8D

I mod on an rp forum that started in June/July, and the admin vanished completely in September. I've basically been running it, but without full access to the admin cp, we're pretty much crippled. Not that the rp has begun yet, but this certainly isn't helping! Anyways I've offered to set up the forum anew elsewhere (either on a free forum site or on my own website with like, phpbb) and have gotten NO feedback from anyone, including the other mod, who last I talked to him is still waiting for the admin to come back. You kow what, even if the admin does come back, what gives him the right to reclaim the reigns after disappearing for so long?? He's never been what I'd call a good admin anyways (plus his character is the biggest Gary Stu I've ever seen), he so does not deserve the privelege of running that game if it does pick up. :P Not that I need to admin yet another forum though. So I'm conflicted on if I should press the issue. It has the potental to be a great game though, and the other mod is a fantastic writer.

Anyways that's the kind of crap that happens when an admin abandons their forum, fhf. It becomes a pain in a bunch of other people's butts.

My dad. Who has been short with me. Saying stuff to me in rude and mean tones. He's been really ticking me off lately. :edmad:

hm. sounds just like my dad. doesnt help that he complains about how lazy i am when i try to spend a second to save what im doing on something before i go out and do something he tells me to do, while sitting on the couch all day and doing nothing.

Telemarketers. :frankiemad:

Ugh, I hate those pests. I got surprisingly few political calls during the campaign but there's this one guy who owns a carpet cleaning service who's become a bit of a nuisance. The phrase, "Dude, if I want my carpet cleaned I'll call the building's maintenance supervisor" doesn't seem to register with him. >:(

I have one of those coach whistles that I blow real loud when one of those punks call.:frankiemad:

I've never had the heart to give them a hard time. They're just trying to do their job. I simply don't answer the phone if my caller ID says it's a service call. I'd hate to have their job.

Speaking of jobs, maybe it's not so much my job that's ticking me off right now as the economy. But as my fellow American's know, this is one of the busiest shopping weeks of the year (the week of Thanksgiving for those not in the States). My company is working on the bare minimum of staff and supplies in order to save as much money as we can and not go in debt like so many other companies are. We don't expect it to be as busy this year as we've been in previous years either. But that doesn't mean we'll be so slow, only one cashier will be plenty for three and a half hours the morning of Black Friday!!

And of course, that cashier is me. I'm going to pull my hair out, throw it on the ground, stomp on it, and cry. I'm not looking forward to it at all. And in fact, I'm worried sick about handling things all alone for that long. :-X It's so ridiculous, it just doesn't make sense. For crying out loud, it's BLACK FRIDAY!!!

Agreed. They sure as heck are a nuisance, and if I'm ever unfortunate enough to pick up the phone when one of them's on the line, I do my best to get out of it as quickly as possible, but if I'll be honest I do feel kind of sorry for them. It must be a truly tedious job and I can only imagine the abuse that they have to routinely endure from their more irate recipients. Besides, more often than not, I get the feeling that the people we talk to are really just pawns in the overall operation.

We all know what I do when telemarketers call. :blooevil:

As long as they're not automated. :P

I've done telemarketing.:'(
I was sacked after 4 days.:)

There's a reason for the national "Do Not Call" list, y'know. Did I ever tel you about the "fun" I had with MCI several years ago? Daily harrassment, sometimes twice per day, for months, all because at the time I didn't know that I had to use the exact phrase "Please remove my name and number from your call list" to get any results. The word "No" was not enough, nor did a variety of unprintable responses get through their heads. Shortly thereafter the national list went into effect, thank the stars. I will never become an MCI customer, not after the hell those :censored: put me through, and I have no sympathy for telemarketers or anyone else who's job is to be intrusive and to harrass and annoy people in their own homes, period. I have the right to be left alone. :frankiemad:

Eh, I don't think that there's any need to be quite so aggressive about it - all I did was suggest that the people on the other end of the line probably aren't having such a fun time of it either. Which, to me, does not seem too outrageous a thing to say.

It wasn't directed at you, sorry. Unfortunately after the hell those people put me through it's difficult to talk about them without getting fired up.

When it's automated I just hang up. 8D

We never get that stuff over here.

The automated ones that you can leave a message on are fun:

"Hey, thanks for calling but I don't live here, I'm a burglar."
"I dunno, I'm only three-and-a-half years old."
"Moo? Moo moo moo, moo moo, moo moo moo."
"Aagh! Help me, please! He's got a gu-" (click)
":censored:"

You get the idea. Fun with live telemarketers, too. :bendy:

8D. That wins.

Heh heh heh... :bendy: 8D

That's okay, I understand. ;)

It ticks me off that my parade vid is STILL not uploaded and its been working 8 hours. :(

Also, my dad's manners. :/ First he tracked cat poop into our apartment, so it smelled nasty in here while I was trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner (also, that means he drove an hour with that smell and didn't notice?). When he gets here he always sits right in my favorite seat and gets it all messed up, scrunching the slipcover all over and mashing the pillow up and then doesn't fix it. Then he does stuff like dropping the spoon INTO the mashed sweet potatoes after taking his serving so I can't really get any more. :P Having him over is really annoying. :jk:

Same here. ::)

My dad couldn't even make up a reason for why he had to "taste" a few spoonfuls of gravy, then putting the spoon back into the pan. :P :terrence:

That's just like MY dad...and my late grandfather, too. I don't think either of them even had a sense of smell, seriously. My grandfather had an uncanny talent of being able to find the only mud puddle within a 200-mile radius, in the midst of a drought, and step in it and track mud through the house, and could not for the life of him figure out why my grandmother or anyone else made such a big deal out of it. What was even worse was his talent for finding and stepping in animal poop or motor oil. I'm not sure he even had the necessary muscle groups for wiping his feet. I'm fastidious about my cars, especially the Studebaker, and I keep a brush in the door pocket for brushing off my shoes when I get it. My father gets insulted when he rides with me anywhere and I hand the brush over to him, insisting that he brush the hay bale and gravel pit and dog mess off of his shoes before he gets in, as if I'd be honored to have all that in the foot of my car!

The drive back to school. There was fog in the mountains, sometimes so thick I couldn't even see 1000 feet (about 300 meters) in front of me. And getting off the PA turnpike took too long because the toll lanes at my exit couldn't cycle the cars fast enough with only 3 cash lanes, and the queues affected traffic as far as 8 miles before the interchange.

Five minutes before taking a typing test for a prospective employer, I burned my index finger.

Ouch...great timing. ::) How did you do it?

They wanted 50 wpm, I gave them 96. With a burned finger.

Talk about playing through the pain, very good sir.

That's some amazing determination, Rid. I hope they see a good candidate when the saw that. Here's wishing you the best of luck. :up:

And what ticks me off today is Mr. Ditsy. I've mentioned him before elsewhere, he's a manager at my work place, and has the common sense of a door nail. Many times the intelligence of one, too. ::)

I was on my lunch break and was passing by the register area and he calls me over to run a register. I gave him a strange look. First, I'm not in uniform, and second, it should be a given that if I'm not in uniform, I wasn't clocked in. Duh! And even if I was clocked in, I had specific instructions from my own manager not to run a register today. I had my own jobs to do, and two other girls were suppose to be running the registers in my place. He knew this, I have the feeling he was just being lazy and seeing me walk by got his hopes up that he could have me run the register so he didn't have to. Even though I was technically just a customer at the moment, not being in uniform or clocked in. :P

Oh, and what made it worse, he belittled me for not doing so in front of the customer he was taking care of.

I got a new computer about a week ago and it's great, except for one tiny little problem, it keeps arbitrarily disconnecting me from the internet for no apparent reason. You don't know how irritating it is to get disconnected from Skype every five seconds, especially in the middle of a conversation. Well actually, most of you probably DO know. Either way, it's annoying.

i tend to have that problem with my school-issued laptop, which ive noted elsewhere in this topic.

(can someone point out how owning a laptop is supposed to help us learn? doesnt help that the only thing people do is play halo and talk on aim.)

in any case, ive decided to just tape up the parts that keep falling off of it, which works but the school wont like.

PC CILLIN. Piece or garbage crashed the computer while scanning for spyware. >:(

Really? That's the program I have and it's never done that to me.

Well, anyway, I was driving home from college today after having just taken a final exam and I'm already plenty tired and when I'm tired I get extremely irritable, so while I'm waiting at the light, the guy in the lane next to me has his windows down and has loud metal music blasting from his speakers and it's so loud that I can clearly hear it through my windows and so could eveyone else on that side of the intersecton, and I'm right next to the guy. Fortunately, the light didn't last too long and he quickly pulled ahead of me and out of ear range, but I was still more than a little pissed off, and I like metal!

But I just hate that in general, people who play their music so loud in the car that eveyone in a 100-foot radius can hear it. 9 times out of 10 it's hip-hop, but I really don't care what kind of music it is, it's still just as annoying! If I want to listen to something, I'll listen to it myself! And don't even get me started on the booming base speakers. I swear, those things make me feel like we're having an earthquake.

And what's the point of having those anyway? To be "hip" or "cool"? Well, it doesn't make me think you're cool, it makes me think you're an idiot who just likes to piss people off around you! And they're probably gonna get stolen anyway, but if you're dumb enough to put something like that in your car, you deserve to get it stolen IMO.

I just got a new car stereo a few weeks ago for $80 which was an excellent deal considering it plays CD, USB, SD, and iPod. I'm perfectly happy with it, so why do people feel the need to "pimp out" their car with extra junk that's probably gonna get stolen anyway?

I just don't get it, but it's still plenty annoying.

100% Agreed. How these lunatics manage to avoid having an accident due to that insane, earth-shattering volume is beyond me. It's so dang inconsiderate and rude to force people to listen to your music and to force them to shout to maintain a conversation. I will laugh long and loud at every one of these idiots when they develop tinnitus and/or need a hearing aid. Not that they'll be able to hear me. :frankiemad:

THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS!



I uninstalled it this morning and it works fine. I'm gonna stick with AVG from now on.

That's what I use. Works fine, doesn't take up much room, and isn't a bloated, overblown mess like Norton.

And isn't one of those "fake" anti-virus programs, either, you know, the ones that first say you have 10000000000000+ viruses and need the program, but TELL YOU you have to BUY the junk. Once you actually HAVE it, though, it actually LETS IN viruses, trojans, spyware, malware, etc. One of them I had I tried to uninstall with the comes-with uninstaller, said it was uninstalled (with a typo in the sentence), but I looked. IT WAS STILL THERE. So I resorted to manually uninstalling it.

Haven't posted in this thread in awhile.

Anyway, many things annoy me. Like telemarketers (someone said that earlier, and I TOTALLY agree-they're irritating!), closed-minded people who think they're right all the time, liars and don't EVEN get me started on some of the scary pairings I find in the Transformers and Legend of Zelda fanfiction/art sections sometimes! XP

Oh, don't get me started on bad scary pairings for fictional characters.
Permit me to mention part of Megatron's first post:

Urgh. Ticked me off, as it probably did many others.

Being told repeatedly "You can't put together the new console/entertainment center/cabinet/platform thingie! You're not technical enough! You're not skilled to do these things! Just call somebody else for help! You can't do it!"
