What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Maybe I'm just not big into the Facebook thing, but I really don't get the whole Twitter/Facebook troll thing.

I'm letting my roommate borrow the Vita when he needs to web browse since his laptop broke. After hours of watching YouTube he's on FB getting angry at famous people he doesn't know and trolling people who's life he's no longer part of - and yells at the comments.

I have video games and blogging to get most of that sort of thing out of my system - and I don't have to yell at anything. He's yelling at my Vita right now. He's going to have to get his own Vita to have a verbally abusive relationship with, i think.

A charlie horse at 3 in the morning? Thanks body, that's exactly what I needed in addition to not getting a good night's sleep.

Sorry to hear that mate, I hate it when it happens and your rolling about in bed in agony.

Ever just wake up in a swirling rage of fury? Yeah, that's been my day.

I wouldn't even wish that upon my greatest enemy. Those are just the worst.

They really are, and there's nothing you can do but just ride it out. Then it's sore for days afterwards.

Contacted Zappos today to ask about their return policy. Apparently they refuse to let you return shoes if they've been worn outside, making their return policy 100% useless. So much for finding shoes on Zappos.

I actually had to Google what a Charlie Horse actually was before finding out it's what everyone else calls a dead leg/arm.

Apparently potassium deficiency causes it so eating bananas is supposed to prevent them.

Bullshit. I pack a banana for lunch every day, so either that's not enough or it isn't potassium deficiency.

My cell phone ...

- Has five bars, won't dial out. Has zero bars, dials out, then the person on the other end can't hear me.
- Tells me text wasn't sent, then after I've clicked "resend," I get a reply to the text that didn't send.
- Receives text messages from four hours in the future. (Actually just sucks at timestamps).


And these are all common issues. Ahh, technology ...

Skype is the funniest for timestamps. I know for a fact that if I send a message to Yyg, Skype always wants to put his first because of some time zone difference bug in the timestamps.

It's definitely not timezone related. It's happened when I talked with him before, and we're in the same timezone.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

uh, a charlie horse would usually be a cramp. Unless UK people are weird, arms/legs being dead would be numb arms, which are uncomfortable, but hardly painful.


Then again, UK people are extremely weird, so why the fuck are you saying that cramped limbs are "dead"? That doesn't fit at all, they're in terrible pain.

After more than two weeks of running around with McAfee we finally had a conference call with them today. They've been holding installation files, documentation and license keys hostage on this one product until they could give us a sales pitch demo. So today we had the demo and they gave us the pitch for the wrong product. This is after many email exchanges with representatives in which I've linked directly to the product page and other URLs indicating which piece of software I'm trying to get assistance with. I know they have similar names, but good grief people...

Facebook friend just called me a Mexican slur ... I'm not Mexican first of all, but even if I was, that's not really cool bro.
