Post annoyances and bad things that have happened to you recently as a method of venting frustration and/or providing some quality schadenfreude.

I'm in the lethargic phase just before I get a job and do something worthwhile, so to try and counter this I thought I'd ride around town for the day and get some good exercise. Ten minutes into it, my laces got caught in the chain, and then I cut my leg on the pedal. Then I realised I brought no money and already I was thirsty, and my mouth tasted like piss for some reason. Utterly dejected, I went home and called it a day.

I still feel bored and generally apathetic. :greenie:

Share, share!

My city has decided to start firing at eachother again & endless street riots started when 200 idiots from the other side went into the tiny catholic area of Short Strand & attacked every home u8ntil they were chased out by semi-retired boys with firearms. Luckily its not where I live this time so its only a WEE bit bollox. However I've been asked to he3lp guard some houses and that's definately bollox. I really cant be bothered sitting up all night drinking endless tea. So yea bollox

My boyfriend made me watch some crap shows and I told him they were crap and he got mad at me so when he fell asleep on the couch, I left him there.
Also, my post office is on strike the 1 time of year I am actually expecting mail.
AND I'm stuck studying math 5 hours a day, 4 days a week for my GED exam next month and quite frankly, I don't care what (x-8)(4x+3) -5(5x-3) is supposed to be reduced to.


Btw the answer is 4x(squared)-54x-9

Even more bollocks on the Uni front, I was able to drop the class but they still expect me to pay the full amount. While I understand I missed the deadline for the refund, they fucked everything up in the first place. The fucked up my enrollment so I was enrolled late, then because I was late I missed required material which forced me to withdraw from the class anyway and when I do so they tell me I have to pay the $500 something. They are basically asking me to pay them $500 for giving me a headache. ARG! I want to stab someone! :mad2:

Stabbing someone would probably be the wrong way to handle it, but you can make the lives of as many of them as possible hell before they ever see a penny of that $500.

I remember my summer reading going into my sophomore year. One was Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was a fairly light read. The other was The Classical Slave Narratives, which was an anthology of 4 narratives written by former slaves, weighing in at like 1200 pages. They were really good, but dayuuuuuuuuuum was that a lot to fit in.

And then it turned out that the teacher only wanted us to actually read one of the four, and it just didn't get communicated to the students when the lists were sent out. Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

This should probably be renamed 'DD's thread of complaining' because you guys are either too happy or, for some weird reason, are reluctant to share embarrassing or personal stories to strangers on the internet. heh. weirdos.

I have barely slept for what is approaching 48 hours now and last night, which was supposed to be some time to cheer up our friend whos' girlfriend is moving for four months, turned into a disaster as two of the guys ate something nasty apparently prior and drunk too much which smurfing turned a chilled night out into a midnight vomit competition. One of the vomees (?) was the poor bastard whos' girlfriend has had to leave as well. They were in a state though and we were genuinely concerned.

Thread revival for a good reason! Reasons actually.


So two weeks ago my RX-7 (Petunia) wouldn't crank. It was getting too much gas. So I installed a fuel pump cut off switch to control the pump while cranking.

A few days later it popped a coolant hose. So I replaced it.

Then the starter died, so I replaced that.

Then some contact in the ignition switch failed, so I had to install a push button for starting.

Then a smaller, rare, special coolant hose broke. So I ordered one from MazdaSpeed, payed for next day delivery, and they sent the wrong part. The hose showed up yesterday. While removing the alternator to replace the hose, one of the bolts holding the alternator on took the threads with it. So I retapped and helicoiled the alternator.

Now this morning I go to crank up my Miata (Sneezer), and it randomly has a dead fuel pump! Et tu, Sneezer? It's not even close to March 15th. What the hell is going on?!?!?!!

And it's 104 degrees today. Bleh.

So who else is pissed? What's crap for you right now?

08-03-2011, 10:21 PM
Sorry about your hours, Pike. :(

Mazdas are pretty tough, this is unusual circumstances. We race them and push these cars very hard with good reliability still being quite common.

The Miata is a well maintained and properly serviced 1990. I've owned it for 11 years, and do all the work myself. This is the first unexpected issue it's given me in........140k? For a modified car, that's very acceptable. I just hate the timing of it.

The RX-7 is 1987 that's a relatively new purchase, and I'm going through it replacing all the old worn parts, so a lot of this is to be expected. It's modified, and wasn't as well maintained before I bought it so I can't be too surprised.

It's just annoying when it all takes place in a two week time frame.

What's your Mazda (Speed3??? :) ), and when are you getting a Miata already?

Peegee
08-03-2011, 10:36 PM
no no. mine is just a regular sedan. 2.0 L 4 cylinder 2007

I want to keep him!

Recently, a friend asked me to take her to her mom's house after work. Her mom lives a block away from where I work. My home and my friend's home are a 30 minute drive away in five o'clock traffic. So I explain to her that I'm not willing to drive thirty minutes to her house, then back downtown, then back to my house because that is a ridiculous amount of gas, but if she wants to go with me in the morning on my way to work that would be okay. She says okay, and I should get there a little earlier than the time I first suggested because she has a lot of stuff. She always carries a crapton with her wherever she goes, so that's not unexpected. However it didn't occur to me that if she's actually warning me, it was probably really a lot of stuff. So I get to her house, and it turns out she's not just visiting her mom, she's moving in with her. So I'm packing everything in her room minus the furniture into my car. And I'm helping her move it into her mom's place. I am very late for work. And on the way to her mom's house she's like, "no offense, but I think it's wrong that people who work hard to get jobs don't get them while some people get them from friends." And I'm just like "but I did try hard, it just wasn't doing me any good :<"
