No. This is not the District Nurses Office. Learn to dial or next time I’m “booking appointments.”
Hey all you Chinese thermometer manufacturer bastards, please implement some quality control measures. It was not -20°F this morning. It was more like 4°F. Saving a centi-yuan by using the cheap red alcohol causes the product to go nonlinear at low temperatures. I’ll not be buying a Taylor brand thermometer again unless it is plainly labeled ‘made in the USA’.
Defiantly =/= definitely.
Formally =/= formerly.
Yes, I know the spellchecker says it’s ok, but it’s not. Do you even try to pronounce the first one in your head?
Sorry! 
I enjoyed the loveliness of sexual anonymity through 6 years of Everquest. WoW spoiled that with ‘requirement’ of vent to raid. :rolleyes:
Okay, so maybe I did have too much stuffed piled on the shelf over the hanger pole in my bedroom closet. Yeh, it’s been up there for over 20 years and maybe it’s getting tired of all those hangers.
But was it really necessary, as I was hanging up a shirt, for the whole friggin thing, pole and shelf and all, to pull away from the walls and collapse in a heap of clothes and nail-studded boards on the floor?
To my fishes: please stop crapping in the fish tank .
You have probably killed another filter. NOt from neglect on my part. No sirree.
If you’re on opiate pain-killers for the teeth, that may be the source of your problem. They block you up something awful and your body really doesn’t want to put more food in when it can’t get it out. I’ve found that, once the initial few days of healing are over, having a wound hurt is better than dealing with the constipation and nausea of pain medication.
My mini-rant: my university discontinued my position as of the first of the year, but failed to mention this to me, my boss, or anyone in my department. The first I heard of it was when my check failed to show up yesterday. My department is working on reinstating me retroactively, but since it’s officially a new position, they have to advertise it publically and go through affirmative action. So it may be another month before I get paid for last month.

PEOPLE OF EARTH.
When you are at a club/bar/venue and a musician is playing and you are shouting out requests, stomping your feet, clapping your hands and having a great time, take a minute and throw a fucking dollar into the tip jar you CHEAP FUCKING BASTARD! Jesus! Would it kill you???
That goes double when you’re watching a street performer. If you like it, spare a damned dollar. WTF people?? The other day some asshole at my husband’s gig shouted out like 10 requests, got them all met, had a great time and do you think he could bother to throw in a BUCK? No. Well FUCK YOU pal!
Man. That felt so good.
Hey, I’m waiting for a new computer, too. Let me know if mine turns up there and I’ll do the same if yours turns up here 
To the person who pulled out ahead of me today: It’s snowing hard. The visibility is crappy. Put your stinking lights on, dammit! I can’t keep a decent following distance from you when I don’t know where you are, and I really don’t want to hit you!
Just out of curiosity, what did you say to her?
I used to let people like that get to me. Now I react thusly:
Me: God, I hate John Irving.*
Know-It-All: How can you say that? You don’t even know him!
Me: You know damn well what I mean.
Okay, mini-rant. Freakin’-frackin’ dishwasher, suddenly deciding that dull glassware with food particles stuck to it and utensils with same are AOK. I know it’s not a matter of rinsing the stuff before I put it in, because I do, thoroughly. Now I have to rewash half the stuff I take out of a “clean” dishwasher. And while I’m at it, fuck you, Impressions glassware for being so breakable and so hard to find.
*Sorry, Irving fans. I don’t want to get into it, but I really despise his work.
Finally! Someone else that has had enough of this crap! WTF is the thought process here. Do you feel like you’re getting there sooner if you are at least moving, albeit 0.5 MPH.
Wait a minute. Nits are little tiny ticks, right? And they can read?
WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE QUESTION MARKS?!! :dubious: :smack:
Even here in the pit there’s one making a query without it! How do people do that, especially continuously?? I’ve tried to just ignore it, but regardless, it seems to draw my attention like a million dollars left unattended on a curb. It bugs, bugs, bugs me to no friggin’ end.
Please folks, for the love of Og and all that’s ingnorance fightin’ on the Dope, use the damn things as the universe intended. I promise that extra fraction of a second that it requires will be well worth it and won’t cost you a ding dang thing. C’mon, you can do it! :rolleyes:
Got it? <— See what I’m talking about here? <— again! It’s not hard. Really.
Thank you and if there’s any further questions about the necessity of such a minor thing, please don’t hesitate to ask (?) and I promise to only bite your head off internally.
Hey, landlord. Remember me? The tenant whose maintenance requests you’ve been ignoring for the past month? I wrote this haiku in your honor:
I called you three times
The water still overflows
Fix my sink, dammit!
Seeing as you’ve decided not to respond to the messages I left on your answering machine, I’ve decided to stand outside the leasing office tomorrow and sing this little ditty to all prospective tenants (until, of course, you fix my sink). Show starts at noon.
Dat true. Joo can be called da squishie, da caster, or lunch.
Cinserly,

I’m not an idiot, but I just moved here. I’m learning my way around. So get off my ass! I’m not going to go so fast that I miss my turn because I’m not sure where it is! See the out-of-state plates? I’m not an idiot. I’m also not creeping along, I’m just not going twenty miles over the speed limit. Back the fuck off, asshole!
Ahhhhhh. That felt good.
I was thinking I could use one of these threads just today. Mine is directed at my postie. Hey, big fella, I’ve been working on my yard for the last three summers. Do YOU know what I’ve got planted in my beds? Do YOU know if it will be affected by you stomping across my snow-covered yard? Do you think I will like it when you step on one of my edgings and break it? I have a sidewalk - freakin’ use it. I can’t wait until we fence the front yard - no walking across it then.
A shout-out to my sister who is getting married in April, too. You know how stressed you are about everything you “have” to do now? You wouldn’t have to do so much if you would pry your fingers off the control of every little detail of what everybody at your wedding will be wearing and doing. You have my sympathy for the stress you have for all the things you actually need to look after; not so much for the things that you are choosing to micro-manage.
Grrrr… Vent takes like 148% of the fun out of playing MMO games. Part of the fun of playing EQ was that I was surrounded by elves and dwarves, instead of delinquent college students. And however annoying it is to see people being called “noobz” in game, it makes me virtually homicidal to hear people saying that sort of stuff aloud. Not to mention it gets in the way of playing loud rock music while I kill things/people. Ugh.
