May Glowers Bring (out) Grim Pills [May mini-rants thread]

If you’re going to borrow my computer and it tells you it’s going to change ANYTHING say NO

If you’re not sure, ASK ME

Windows 10: Don’t display a 5 minute slide telling me my files are all exactly where I left them TURN ON AND FUCKING WORK

Don’t display a 5 minute slide telling me you have new features to be excited about TURN ON AND FUCKING WORK

When I hit the power button YOUR ONLY RESPONSE IS TO TURN ON AND FUCKING WORK

I HAVE SHIT TO DO YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH

Ugh. One of my friends, who seems like a decent person most of the time, posted a link on Facebook to a stupid crap article on how God can cure homosexuality and how being gay is such a huge sin.
I almost considered getting into an argument, but nah, not worth it. Just between this board and me, though, secretly, my opinion of this friend has gone slightly down.

Freakin hot-ass weekend. :mad:

I did my laundry Saturday Morning. But thanks to the hot weather, long weekend guilting me into being productive both getting-in-shape-wise and doing yard-work-wise, and me being a really sweaty dude, my hamper is already full. I went through 10 shirts and 7 pairs of shorts in three days, all of which are far to stinky(and crusty now) to wear for even just more sweaty work.

Memorial day weekend in Michigan is supposed to be warm and wet, it’s scheduled to be my most productive weekend of the year, and I had to follow through, and it sucked and left me with a stinky hamper, and sunburned.

My problem is sweat running down my face and all over my glasses. I hate that. I have to wear a sweatband around my forehead, and squeeze it out about every 15 minutes.

I’ve made it well-known to my friends that I’ll gladly offer (for free) my assistance when they have legal matters or issues. That being said, why do they always wait until things are near FUBAR status before coming to me? It’s not that they are completely blindsided; it’s that they wait until things are so horribly bad that what could’ve been handled quickly instead gets drawn out into a huge ordeal.

That being said, I offered to tag along with you for a “meeting,” Dear Friend, not because you need me or that I can offer any assistance at this stage of the game, but instead because you are thinking that you’ll be able to keep your cool with the other party if someone else is around.

When I message you to tell you that my former roommate (who came and visited me 5 times when I was hospitalized earlier this year) was just hospitalized due to seizures and that I planned to visit him today (before our meeting), it really is in poor taste to immediately start talking about how this is going to affect your plans.

Why don’t you just leave it on?

Or is it a laptop that you have to carry around?

WTF is up with people who think that a speech at a memorial service or funeral is an appropriate place to go on a rant about the horrible punishments God has in store for sinners?

Attn: Facebook.

It’s just a gorilla.

Now fuck off.

Best,

T.

People whose god is one of hate and malice, matching the evils of their own minds.

I block where ever the link came from, so I am much less likely to see the stupid again.

We are about to make a major purchase [superfluous details omitted]. We decided weeks ago where the money would be obtained, and how the financing would be handled.

Last night I had some correspondence with the lawyer we have working on it, and my husband was in copy. After he got around to reading his email, he started in on reviewing the financial details with me again, for the umpteenth time. (I handle most of the bill-paying and financial management.)

Arrrggghh. Why do we need to spend 15 minutes going over something that was decided already? The numbers haven’t changed. Why do you need to do this, like a dog gnawing on an old bone?
