Complain about something no one else gives a rat's ass about
My cats refuse to make the bed in the morning. :mad:
Eating junk food and drinking beer make me fat.:meanface:
Writing perl code in the middle of a PHP script makes me feel stupid and ineffective.
I see someone has stamped the mud off their dirty boots on the elevator floor.

Some lady sitting on the toilet in one of the college bathrooms (making tinkle noises) while calling the college whose shitter she was assaulting, asking about parking and credits (didn't even sound like for her, like for a grandson or something)...and she sat there for a long time, then hung up and tinkled longer.
Took me a while to get out of there as I passively-aggressively flushed my toilet (without having even used it) over and over and over.
How fucking gross do people need to be?
Using the word gay to refer to something or someone that's stupid angers me.

Wouldn't it be great if she asked for financial aid information, and you just told her?

That so crossed my mind. I was waiting for a FA question.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have access to the system from here to tell me if you are on the list of those with whom I'm allowed to speak. Plus, please don't hand me your ID."
my new(ish) labia rings are pinchy.
Why so shocked?
Just giving you a hard time. It sounded like you thought it was shocking.
I'm wrestling with css these days. I volunteered to put together a web site for the local Knights of Columbus council. Maybe I'll feel better about css once it's done, but right now I've taken to calling it C Fucking S S.
Well it's clear what the C must stand for, in that case...
Seriously, ProTools - GIVE US OFFLINE BOUNCE! I have a computer that could fly itself to the moon and back, but I have to sit on my ass and wait for you to bounce my audio mixes in realtime?
HORSHIT!

Well,
that ought to keep ya on your toes!
Back in August, I entered a contest on BoingBoing to win one of three computers HP is giving away. The contest lasted 1 week. Around 20 people entered. My odds of winning aren't bad. I'd guess 50/50 based on the number of entries, number of prizes, and the quality of the competition. But the people at BoingBoing running the thing haven't gotten around to declaring the winners. They even said recently that they would announce them last Monday, but never did.
So I could contact them to bug them, but then if I bug them, they will surely not pick me as a winner. So, as per the rules, I just keep going to the contest site to see if I won, because if you don't respond to your winning notification within 24 hours, they give the prize to someone else. I've been going to this stupid page every day for almost the last 2 months to see if I won. It's getting to the point that it's just not worth it.
James Bond really was a man ho wasn't he?
I am so freaking tired of people saying "Bert and Ernie."
I have yet to find one person besides my brother who agrees with this, but:
IT'S ERNIE AND BERT. ERNIE AND BERT. ERNIE AND BERT.
:lol:
Car tags are sooo expensive.
The county is trying to assess us $9 an acre annually forever for cleaning a ditch that will do absolutely nothing for our property :eyebrow:

Incredible.:eek:
What do they want to do?mow? How many acres? What's their problem? Is it tall grass next to a highway? Shouldn't that be their job?
Uh oh, someone gave a rat's ass! :p:
My company changed insurance again in the beginning of October. Not a big deal except for higher co-pays and prescriptions.
However, the specialty pharmacy I have to get my one medication from is fucking around and I'm already overdue for it. First you call the doctor and have them fax the prescription. Then they have to check with the insurance company to see if it's covered. Then, they find out that it is covered, but they need a pre-authorization or some shit from the doctor.
See, we don't need health care reform (ie: government run health care)...we need INSURANCE reform. :mad2:
It's getting to the point that it's just not worth it.
Not that I give a big rat's ass, but that's what they're hoping for.
I hate the new IMDB layout.

Sorry Shaw. I also give a rat's ass about this. The new layout sucks.

I just noticed it today. I'm like "where are the quotes, the reviews?" but now everything is all jumbled up so it's one long page. I think the whole thing looks horrible, especially the cast or movie list: it's like someone's high school Web Graphics project.
I'm glad it's not just me. :)
Oh God, they changed IMDB ???
Why do they change stuff?
[SIZE="1"]I think I know the answer: they force you to look around for the features you use, and hope you'll stumble upon other features you've never used or known about before.[/SIZE]
Sorry Shaw. I also give a rat's ass about this. The new layout sucks.
There is a place to give feedback on the redesign. I told them it was horrible and that I give it no thumbs up.

link to this feedback form? I can't find shit on that site now.
Just giving you a hard time. It sounded like you thought it was shocking.
No, it was something I genuinely thought nobody would give a rat's ass about.
Yikes, I had trouble finding it again. If you go to "contact us" it wants you to be registered.
So, you have to pull up an actual movie. Then all the way down at the bottom under "Explore more about this title" you'll see, on the right side "feedback on the redesign."
I think any movie will do.
What a train wreck.
I found it. It's just like you said shaw. Click a movie and the give feedback link is at the bottom.
On the Q/A people asked why they did this to the layout and the answer was because people usually scroll to the bottom of the page. ( no really:eyebrow: )
I wanted to ask if people actually get paid to mess up a layout ( yes I am unemployed and bitter ) but instead I told them it was not user friendly. I said to have a layout you can see at first glance even if it means clicking a link is better. That's what I think.
I hate adjusting magnetic clip-on sunglasses.
I just stain my contact lenses with coffee.

Bert gets first billing contractually, since as the straight (insert irony) man he gets the poor lines.
There's an awful lot of rat's ass giving on this thread. Not that I give a rat's ass.:p:
No, it was something I genuinely thought nobody would give a rat's ass about.
Well mostly. My first thought was hey, another programmer.
Monster wins the thread!:cheerldr:
I could give a rat's arse......
It is so GD cute, who could complain?
I'd like to see a magazine that has a story not broken across the entire magazine. You start a story on page 21, read a page and a half and ya get "continued on page 67". Oh and does page 67 even have a fucking page number on it, hell no! And page 22, a different story that gets the same treatment, continued on page 79. What the fuck?! Why can't the story be printed in full from start to finish???
The chocolate covered in hundreds and thousands that I'm eating is too sweet.
The WordAssoc thread gets right on my tits, making it look like there are new and potentially interesting post in this forum when there aren't. It needs to die. horribly.

They're making you look at more ads.

I wouldn't say that--most of my stuff is quick little hacks to munge some data from one system to another. I'd be lost at any serious development effort.
I admit, I'm considering learning Java though.
That's great SD. When you learn Java you can help me implement new decimal and the tenth digit.
Watch out Steve, when James Bond appears HLJ will be nowhere to be found, and you'll be left holding the bag.;)
Halloween = fall of civilization That is all.
I'm worried we have bed bugs.:greenface
I saw a car yesterday with a "Princess On Board" sunscreen in the window.
Get this - the only occupant of the car was A MAN!
A man cannot be a Princess.
And it was only a temporary sunscreen, so he could easily remove it when the Princess is not travelling.
That's on a par with parking in a Disabled spot without a blue badge - complete misrepresentation. I hope Her Highness has words with her driver.
Also - why can't old people say things only once?
Why do they have to repeat themselves halfway through the conversation.
Is it some kind of elongated stutter?
Or is some alien intelligence cutting and splicing what they say for kicks?
Because it's the same words, in the same intonation, just a FEW SECONDS OR MINUTES AFTER IT WAS FIRST SAID.
SG - they forgot they said it the first time.
I hate the new IMDB layout.
You know, if imdb really wanted to make a useful change, they should add a an option to list movies by the number of quotations. I like witty movies. And witty movies have the most quotes listed.

Maybe he had a princess in a child seat you couldn't see?

If a man can be a queen, why can't he be a princess?
I haven't been able to find a washing machine that comes with a circular lint filter tray.
This seriously peeves me off, because I can't seem to get rid of the dog/cat hair in the wash water.
Back in the day, (70's), my Mom had a GE Washer with one of those baskets and during the wash cycle, it continuously circulated the water through that filter. It was wonderful at catching lint. It was also good for putting powdered detergent in as well. Today's washers just suck without it.
I really miss it. It looked like this:
I am SOOO Freaking BORED!!

The goddam tax assessors have property I've been trying to sell for a year for 3500 an acre (to no avail) valued on my tax bill at 10,000 an acre. Fuckin' guvmet....

I have that washer. Now. My apartment building was constructed in the 1970s. My unit has the original appliances. I would happily trade with you, but since I don't own the washer, I probably shouldn't. I have the matching craptastic dryer as well. Everything takes 50 minutes to dry ... doesn't matter what it is, five pairs of jeans or two pairs of socks and some undies, needs to run 50 minutes.

The dryer exhaust vent is either too long, has too many bends, or is clogged with too much lint.
Our dryer took an hour to dry a load. Then I straightened the vent and switched to rigid metal pipe from that plastic slinky crap, and loads take 20 minutes now.
Apartment, not house, so I don't mess with anything. I call someone else to do that.

I gotta do something. My situation is the same - 50 minute no matter what - longer if there are jeans in there.
My vent goes into the attic and spews the lint there unabated... wonderful set-up. :eyebrow:
The time it takes to dry clothes is 2 -3x longer than the time it takes to wash them.
This is a PITA!
Dirt doesn't bother me. What annoyed me was how dirty I had to get just to change a lightbulb in my car today.

They're making you look at more ads.
So, why can't they number all the fucking pages? The damn story is continued on page 69, guess what?
There ain't no fucking page 69!$@#%@
Because they want you to flip around looking at every page (and every ad) looking for the rest of the story.
There is also another reason. One problem is that sometimes the ads are provided in what is called a full bleed design. This is when the ad/image appears to run off the page on all 4 sides. There are also partial bleeds and no bleeds. (Hope they are self explanatory.)
Many times the advertiser or more typically, their agency provides the ad to the magazine and there is no opportunity for the magazine to alter it by putting a page number on it. If the ad is a partial or no bleed, its much easier.
Back before Thanksgiving I ordered 9 items from Amazon. No special hot shipping, ship at at once in one package. Very simple, yes?
OK, so they email me there will be three shipments;
package A Items 1,2,3&4.
package B Item 5.
package C Items 6,7,8&9.
No problem, they're probably coming from different locations, best way.
7 days ago, on the same damn day;
Email ~ Items 1&2 have shipped.
Email ~ Item 3 has shipped
6 days ago;
Email ~ Item 5 has shipped
Today;
Email ~ Item 6 has shipped
Email ~ Item 7 has shipped
I should point out items 6,7,8&9 are just tee shirts, different colors, same size, same source. And none of the 9 items weighs more than 2 pounds.
Neither Amazon, nor the companies that are drop shipping, have their shit together, nor do they care that receiving this order in what appears will be 8 shipments, has any impact on the buyer. I'm fairly fortunate it's not a big problem for me, except the asshole Fedex, but for many people being there to recieve the package is the only way they'll get it.
Oh, and they're wasting cardboard.
Classic and Shawnee can't keep their hands to themselves, it is annoying to me as I have to deal with little kids doing the same shit to each other all damn day.
They just need high-dose B12, is all.

Sorry wrong thread, I care.
Things were fine, were they not, till she came back dredging up past crap and shitting on the place? Call it like it is.

Your B-12 deficiency is a two way street. That is my last comment on the subject.
Gotcha. I apologize for responding to it.
