What do you do steeda

 

He pushes buttons. Get it?!? He pushes people's buttons! HA HA HA ha..... ha..... ha..... ha...




Sorry guys. I couldn't resist a corny joke opportunity.

 

 

I do not like Christmas. I know I am going to sound like a total Scrooge-ette when I post this, but I don't care.

People are so rude at Christmas time. They'll stab their own damn mother in the back to get the last of those new, hot, trendy toys for their 3 year old kid that will break it in a week.

They crowd around the booths just to take advantage of a 5% off sale that isn't that much to begin with and block the way making it difficult to even manuever the store. In Dillards, they had a 30% off sale at the Coach and Dooney booths, and women were getting catty with each other over purses. ******* purses! I tried to get through nicely by saying 'excuse me' several times, and they just looked at me like I was invisible. Fine, you want to be that way? I tried to be nice and you just brush me off? I'll just push your asses out of my way while I'm wearing one of those fake smiles that is plastered on your face.

I see things like this every day of the year, but it just seems to be worse around the holidays. Like that poor guy who was trampled to death and the 8 months pregnant woman who were injured at a Wal-Mart. A man lost his life and a woman and quite possibly her unborn child were injured just so some scumbag penny pinchers could save some money??? That is absolutely pathetic.

I cannot wait until Christmas is over. No more annoying pain in my *** Christmas cards, no more glitter (I HATE GLITTER!), and no more fake cheer and courtesy. It is a damn shame people can't even put their caveman and primal ways to the side during the holidays to make it enjoyable for everyone. The holidays call for kindness, courtesy, considerateness, but I don't see any of that when I am out in public.

And people wonder why I'm such a cynical malignant narcissist.

 

Did you read my christmas post in the open leter thread...... I'm right there with you Christmas blows

 

instrumentation, calibration, motor controls, plc programming, mov's, scada systems. alot of different crap.

 

I can't believe the trivial BS people are pissed off about.

There are people barely keeping their heads above water financially.

There are people still without power 2 weeks after the ice strorm that hit the northeast.

Thousands of our troops are away from their families in Iraq and Afghanistan defending your freedom to whine and bitch.

Be thankful for what you have...

 

+2 for BS (lol) and lazerred!

 

So because there are people worse off than me, I'm not allowed to be pissed about stuff. It is sad that people in this world suffer but truth be told everyone is suffering at some level.

And you don't get to control what pisses you off, you get to control how you react to it.

I think you seriously missed the point of this thread. It's basically to vent out some frustrations with the world and move on, which is a very emotionally healthy way of dealing with anger and frustration.

The plus is, it gives the rest of us a chuckle or a chance to help some one deal with some crap.

And just because some one is pissed by what you consider to be a trival thing, doesn't mean they aren't thankful for what they have.

I think you need to get down off your high horse and quit pretending that the bullshit of the world doesn't **** you off, and quit trying to make the rest of the world feel guilty because there is someone worse off.

 

looks like you are complaining about us complaining. hmmm

 

Hell yes. I couldn't have said it better myself. *Applause*

And DaGonz, I've been without power for 2 months due to a hurricane before. I've been in trouble financially, so I know damn good and well what it is like. My mother is dead, and I had to plan her funeral when I was 21, So don't tell me what I can and can't bitch about, sweetheart.

While I do not want to be at work today (the day after Christmas) and I'd like to be home with the rest of my family, I am very thankful that I have a job. I am thankful for everything I have especially after some of the losses I've been through.

However, that doesn't mean I can't get annoyed at trivial things. I am very well aware that the things I 'whine and bitch' about are things that can be fixed easily, but that doesn't mean they don't annoy me.

Also, mustangrn and her husband were/are both in the armed forces. I am sure that especially she, along with the rest of us are highly aware of the sacrifices they make so that we can be free to 'whine and bitch'. Therefore, I ask, what is freedom for if we can't exercise it?

With that being said, you have no idea who the real people behind the screen names are, what any of us have been through, what we have seen, felt, heard, suffered through, and have had to deal with in our lives. It offends me that you think you know all of us who are bitching so well, that you can imply that none of us are thankful for anything just because we rant about things.

Now, you should do the smart thing and pull your head out of your *** and spare us the lectures.

 

Oh snap!

 

I hear you on this. It's the exact reason my mom takes me along to go Christmas shopping now. Before I started accompanying her, she had ppl stealing stuff right out of her basket and even her hands once! So every friday after Thanksgiving, I get put on cart guard duty for the morning. You would be amazed at the difference in treatment between a 5'2" woman and a 5'10" 250lbs guy.

 

I'm pissed at myself. What the hell is dating, but not exclusively mean, really? Why mess with someone who is stressed about leaving my family and her back at home? Why the hell did I use up almost $1,000 in two months trying to get that her opinion to change? She told me early on that she didn't want a relationship with someone that is going to be away, and that she's not the long distance relationship kind of person. I know that, but I'm not gone for long. I'm not even that far away, it's like a 2 hour drive. I can come home on weekends and make it work, I told her that. I trusted her to believe in me when I was gone, come to find out that I say one thing about being concerned about "us" when I leave, and it all crumbles. I trusted her enough to take that and tell me, "it's okay, we'll be fine" instead I was told that she's done dating but not exclusively, and she refuses to go exclusive. I hate this. I get unofficially dumped on New Years Eve? What horse **** is that? Have you no decency, woman? I can't believe I got myself into this. I knew I was leaving soon when we started it all, but I can't say that I was the only one confused about where we stood, either that or she was dicking with me all along. But I've known her for years, she's not that kind of person. She couldn't hurt a fly, or say a bad thing about anyone...so how did I screw things up? I just want what I had before back...My life was boring without her the first time, but I got stuff done. With her I was happy, but I didn't get much done. Now I'm miserable, and not getting anything done. Why? Because I thought when she said that she has total trust in me, she was telling the truth. Well screw trust, and screw the truth...I left myself open to thinking that maybe things could be different than they were when we were just friends and they were I think. Then falsly thinking that I had someone's trust screwed it all to hell. Now I'm back to the old me. Nothing to do, no one to see, no one to trust, no one that can screw me over. Just me....man, do I hate the world right now.

you mb guys probably don't understand half of that. I just needed to vent, regardless of if it makes sense. Sometimes just typing words make you feel better, this didn't work for me but hey I tried.

 

At least for now I have a job (not a great job but I make it) but for how long I don't know. I had to take off of work the middle part of December with what I though was a rotator cuff tear. Ok, I am pissed because I got to be off of work but it can't be helped. So I finally got into the doctor and he proceeds to tell me that he doesn't think it is my arm per say. He thinks that there is something wrong with it (why it is popping out of socket) but it isn't the total cause of the pain. He thinks that it is also my neck (scares the living hell out of me) - and it could be serious. The best part however is I can't take anything to help with pain because it makes me really sick.

So what really b***s was the fact that I had to wait three weeks to get an MRI and another test don't know what it is. So in another week I will go get the test and then find out what is wrong.

Thankfully I have insurance but they only pay so much and since I don't make alot to begin with most of what I have saved and a ton of what I make afterwords will go towards the bills.

I try to keep a positive attitude and keep hoping that everything is going to be ok. I do feel a little better since I have been basically doing absolutely nothing. I am fortunate that I have friends that come and get me out of the house once in awhile and are still working on my car.

I also look at it like this I know that there are people in a worse physical shape than I am. I also know that people have much worse problems than I have. I am fortunate that I have parents that are letting me live with them rent free because they know that with my job situation I am unable to move out. I am lucky I still have a roof over my head and something warm to eat.

Well thats my rant for the day.

 

Nobody should have to pull out a garbage disposal and pull out the chunks of a shot glass that are noew jammed in the teeth when they are hung over as hell.

so to whoever decided it would be fun to put a shotglass in the garbage disposal, .. thanks.. dick...

 

sorry jack, my fault.

 

Funny thing about those damn shot glasses, I had one fall in my single sink disposal too. Had the maintenance guy come and fish the pieces out for me. Thank god it was a shitty shotglass =D

 

I was going to complain about how difficult a panhard bar was to install, but after reading some of you guy's stuff, I've got it pretty good. Back to the garage I go.

 

lol 01fr500

 

I hate the cold.

 

**** USC!!!

I hate the wind. We had a 98mph constant and gusts up to 130mph...Trees uprooted, houses torn to shreds. My barbecue was tossed from one side of my lawn into the fence of the other side of the lawn and broke. My 11' christmas tree that we left outside got airborn and landed on my brothers car (didn't dent it, just took off a good bit of paint). And my entire house shifted 1/4'' so our doors don't close right anymore...

 

was there a hurricane? in Colorado? Tornado pass through?

 

Seemed like it, hell it's still windy...50mph on and off right now. They say it was like a catagory 3 hurricane at times (no joke). Some roofs were severely damaged and mildly torn. Lucky with the way my house is facing the east the wind was blowing north so we skipped house damage for the most part. Bad thing is my rooms window was right up against the wind so after my house shifted my window hums, rumbles and shakes a little...

 

Dang Nick, that's crazy. So it wasn't even a tornado, just wind from a storm?

 

Yeah, tons of wind no circulation. It's still windy today, not nearly as much as the last two days but still get gusts up to 40mph. Lastnight our gusts topped off around 90mph, still a lot but after 100mph is when we get worried about it shifting our house more.

 

my god this makes me glad to be out of active duty army.
