Today, I learned the hard way that when they say super glue, they really mean the "super".
What have you learned the hard way?
I learned to drive with my feet steering, my hands on the pedals and teaching me bollox to see the road.
I also learned about super glue the hard way. Finger got super glued into a coat rack leg screw hole.
Thought about rephrasing that. Didn't.
one of the things you don't need to learn the hard place -
marriage
:D
As I mentioned in chat I also learned about super glue the hard way.
Oh, and "money", in general. Yeah, there's a reason I'm broke. It's not entirely my fault, but a lot of it is. :(
"Everybody's doing it" isn't a very good reason to go to college.
I learned the hard way that I should probably go to the doctor more often.
how to plan for my life
"It looks vaguely interesting" shouldn't be your only criteria for majoring in something in college
my damn ass parents wanted my kid brother to go to college for something. So my brother said 'okay i want to be an animator'
however animation colleges demand that you have a portfolio - basically my brother had 0 to very close to nil animation experience. So they forced him to apply for something he could get accepted in.
So now my brother is finally about to finish his last semester for.....get ready for this: graphic design
the amount of sheer rage he has been going through during the past 3 years makes me believe that the crap I read in notalwaysright.com is one sided. Also what you should be getting from this post is that my brother was strong-armed into graphic design because parent units didn't want to wait a year for him to get his shi ... get his portfolio set up. GET A DIPLOMA. NOW NOW NOW. PAPER GETS YOU JOBS
Yeah my friend went into graphic design and it is absolute crap. He now works as a UPS driver.Quote:

Not to take on too many projects at once and instead manage my time better with a single project or two so that other projects can be spread out more. And also learning when to say no to certain projects (hint: not porn).
The hard way indeed!Quote:

Generally after the first step I throw away the instructions and my plans, put my hair in a ponytail, bang my head against the wall for a few hours, eat some paper and muddle my way out.
That's hot, foa.
...the ponytail? Or paper eating?
The entire last sentence. :)
you leave foaffles alone :aimmad:
No!

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.Quote:

Your mom likes to learn 'things' 'the hard way'.
This thread has been derailed by people misreading my post, so I edited it
I have learned that same lesson. All up my arm, across my face, through my hair. I don't even know how long I spend in the tub, soaking and rubbing my skin with acetone.
Also, when a cookbook says "wear gloves when working with fresh jalapenos," they mean it. Not just in case you touch your face, but it burns your fingers through your skin.
I learned at the age of 4 or 5 that garden forks through a tender child's foot is painful... the hard way xD
I also learned headbutting moving cars is not a good idea either.
Via the hard way, you have learned the dangers of Ellipsis.Quote:

I have also learned the hard way that Douglas Adams severely understated how difficult it is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
You're such a klutz, Dak.
To be fair, none of these incidents happen on accident. They are just very poorly thought out plans.
Why do you try to kill yourself then? I would imagine Australia is already trying its hardest to do that.
I'm trying to become the Human Torch, not dead, obviously.
plus if youre a guy, you should wash your hands BEFORE going to the bathroom good god never againQuote:

I'm learning how to drive, and I learned the consequences of accidentally going through stop signs. Would definitely say it was learned the hard way.
I also learned that if I'm not consistent in potty training my puppy, she's going to poop up a storm in every room.
Yep.
Promise me that you will record it.Quote:

Ahh... this reminds me of my early-teens, gangster-rap phase.
Listening to my friend describe Snoop Doggy Dog's new car and then me shouting "DAT IS DA BOMB!"...whilst walking through an airport.
I learned the hard way that this is most ill-advised...
^ that is hilarious
And so i'm not off topic
Learning that not all dogs want to play, be stroked and ridden when you're a child and having your face bitten
:monster:Quote:
