Ugh, christmas.

This [&@%!] internet connection is a joke. I don't know what they did to it, but I can't access half of the [&@%!] sites that I use. My mother can't access half of the sites that she uses. My father will be [&@%!] when he gets back (which isn't unexpected considering everybody else is).

Nexus mods? Not working. Other mod sites share the same fate.
Weather sites? Not working.
Facebook? I can only access the news feed. Group pages and [&@%!] aren't working.
Steam? It launches, but I can't load the community aspect.
Tumblr? Nope.
Outlook? No. Other emails load.

Every other site is lagging something fierce... Which I got used to for Neopets and Imgur, but now it's just worse. To make things even better, the connection stops working entirely every few minutes or so.
This is [&@%!]. I would take the more reliable 50kb/s connection over this [&@%!] any day. At least then I could actually access the sites I wanted to.

We pay a fortune for this. If one thing has become clear, it's that this connection isn't worth what we pay. [&@%!] it. If I knew the number, I'd be complaining as much as I could. They say they were working on it, but given their track record, I doubt it'll get fixed any time soon.
If they weren't the only reasonably fast connection around here, nobody would be using them.

I'm sorry, honey, maybe if you don't like the way we're doing your job, you should do it yourself for a change. You're a grown-ass woman; surely you can handle some responsibility.

Wanna hear some bs?

I special ordered fertilizer from a local company. For 4 weeks they gave me the run around as to why they didn't have my fertilizer. Finally I told them to forget about it and I went to a local plant nursery. They have bags and bags and bags of fertilizer but they didn't have the particular kind I want. I didn't want to order it online because I need a 50lbd bag and I knew shipping would be pricey.

Regardless I got fed up with all the run around so I decided to cut the losses and go ahead and buy it online. I already have plants in the ground and they can't grow taller till I have this stuff. So I buy it online for $15 and have to pay an extra $17 for shipping. So it gets delayed 4ish days because of snow. Then, finally, the day it gets here FedEx explains to me that the package was packed improperly and they had to destroy it. FedEx 'destroyed' my fertilizer.

Translation: The package was heavy and the last guy to handle it grabbed it like a moron and dropped it spilling it everywhere. He then passed the problem up the line. From there, someone may have flat out taken the fertilizer because this is how companies (and people) work. FedEx blamed the seller which is BS because if the package was damaged from the get go they wouldn't ship it.

So now I have to wait ANOTHER week for fertilizer. I went ahead and used a fertilizer I had lying around which sucks for a few reasons but I mean I have to at this point. Either that or my swiss chard dies.

GARR, what a crappy spacebar. It's a new laptop and I have to keep checking and going back and separating a bunch of words that have got stuck together cos of an insensitive spacebar.

Typical. You didn't work only once in the last sentence, didn't you spacebar. Just when i'm making a point about you - but when i'm writing something long and important, you're just off on your holidays aren't you.

[Rajhma]

STOP [&@%!] CALLING ME!!! I do not love you. I will never [&@%!] love you. I do not care about that woman. I do not care that your bisexual. Pretending that either of those things is the reason that I hate you is just SO. [&@%!]. INSULTING! You know exactly what you did you slimy, worthless piece of [&@%!]. You leaving all those years ago was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now just finally [&@%!] LEAVE ME TO HEAL IN PEACE!!

P.S. And stop harassing mom too, she doesn't love you either.



*breathes* Thank you. I needed to get that out.

[The SheoDovah]

You moron! 4 months left and no where near to completing the rest of the units! You [&@%!]! You utter self sabotaging [&@%!]! Without this [&@%!] qualification, i have no career! YOU ARE AN STUPID [&@%!], DOVAH! [&@%!] GET YOUR [&@%!] TOGETHER AND WORK YOUR ARSE OFF IF YOU WANT TO PASS!

Regards,

Dovah

P.S. Stop being so lazy and wake the [&@%!] up at 6am from now on.

P.S.S SERIOUSLY, WAKE THE [&@%!] UP WHEN THE ALARM GOES NOT [&@%!] [&@%!] NAP! AND GET YORU [&@%!] SPENDIGN UNDER CONTROL!

[Rose of Sithis]

STOP TALKING

[Mauin]

I find it kinda funny how people on Imgur will downvote you for something so small as correcting a bit of misinformation.
Apparently saying that it was Skyrim with the fur bikini/armor is a bad thing.

The person I was talking to was saying Oblivion had fur armor that looked like a bikini. As it turns out, they were thinking of the huntsman's vest... Which isn't armor at all. Was slightly confusing because, when they said fur armor, I thought they meant the actual fur armor.... Which, honestly, Oblivion's is superior to Skyrim's. I dunno about anybody else, but I'd rather wear an armor that would keep me warm if I'm in an area known for being cold.

Gotta love that place. Gods forbid you ever tell the truth or make a typo. Or do anything else that the hive mind doesn't like.

Edit:
And Skyrim... Stop [&@%!] crashing already. I mean, really... I was just in that spot with this character not long ago (earlier today, actually). Same damn mod setup. There is no reason for this.

[Rose of Sithis]

I promise you that if you think you're quirky or random or unique you're actually just [&@%!] annoying and shouldn't ever speak again for the rest of your life because you make literally everyone around you consider suicide on a daily basis just by opening your stupid [&@%!] mouth, and if you think I'm talking to you right now, I probably [&@%!] am

[SM-Dreamer]

Dear coworkers:

I get that you didn't get training from the boss. Really, I do. And I've tried to help make up for it when I've noticed a mistake, but there's only so much that I can do, and you have to actually be interested in making a [&@%!] change. Like, when I point out that if you're not busy, or if you're at the front, you need to greet the customers... and you consistently DON'T do it? Yeah, that's YOUR fault, not the boss', not mine.

But, that's minor compared to the [&@%!] that you have left me with. That's merely an annoyance, a fly itching me that I have to swat at. Now? Now you made ME look bad in front of a customer, and why? Because after 3 months of being here, you haven't learned a god damn thing.

Seriously. Three months. We have two ways to wrap up a tax return, people. They either pay us up front, or out of their return. The latter way requires a [&@%!] ton of paperwork and signatures. You've DONE this before, several times, so HOW do you mistakenly think that you had done it when you hadn't?! Also, why does the invoice say one number, yet the system says another? Which did you tell the customer? What am I supposed to tell the customer when we need him to come back in?

And speaking of him coming back in - you didn't tell him that he was responsible for mailing some of his stuff in. How can you not tell him when the system reminded you? But you told him some [&@%!] about needing a manager's password? Seriously?

Oh, and let's not forget that on top of all of that... You forgot to enter in a form. It altered his information. I have to explain it to him. Guess how HAPPY he is with our service? Guess how close he is to taking his stuff, and walking away? Oh, and guess who gets to look bad professionally? Me. Because I'm telling him something different from what you were telling him. I look bad. My reputation.

That's also not including all the work you didn't finish yesterday because *you* wanted to go home "on time." Gee, that must be nice, not having to put in overtime or stay til midnight. Really. Lucky you, you [&@%!].

So, thanks. Really. Thanks a lot for [&@%!] up this [&@%!] badly.

[The SheoDovah]

A teaser for an advert. [&@%!] really? Just no! It's bad enough there are teaser trailers for [&@%!] teasers for a goddamn trailer but a [&@%!] teaser for a damn advert on TV? Just [&@%!] off! If this becomes common, well, [&@%!] tv. It's 99% [&@%!] anyway so [&@%!] it, go ahead. Put teasers for [&@%!] ads. Whilst you're at it, scrap any channel that is [&@%!] decent and keep the [&@%!] ones or ones that are just a waste of space. I mean, BBC, your BBC 3 channel seem to be your testing grounds for new shows. [&@%!] keep it! Instead, scrap BBC parliment or one of your other channels that serve little to no purpose if you are that hard up for cash. Not everyone has [&@%!] access to Iplayer!

Also, [&@%!] the weather.

Also, [&@%!] the buses.

Also, [&@%!] MYSELF! I am a goddam idoit for not putting my coursework above the needs others on days that i block out the [&@%!] coursework. Less then 4 [&@%!] months left and if i [&@%!] fail this, i will be [&@%!] off at myself.

To the cat I got in October (aka my little minion from the Dark Beyond): when you say you're going to read all the books on my shelf, READING DOES NOT INVOLVE TEETH.

[The Dread Lord]

Ugh! People who think that skyrim is the crowning achievment of mankind. Today I just gave up completely. Oh what am I saying? Who doesn't love constant game and quest breaking bugs, boring one dimensional characters (the only entertaining character for me is babbett), constant glitches (some that span every save), dumbed down gameplay, grinding, and constant rendering? I mean! It's just so magical!

I gave up when I realized my xbox can't support a hardrive.

Back to oblivion.

[MARS]

I don't need or want to embrace my [&@%!] uncomfort zone get out of here that's not even a word

[likelolwhat]

My [&@%!] university. [&@%!] it.

HELLLOOOO, A UNI'S JOB IS? EDUCATION. Idiots.

So instead of academics, we get a [&@%!] moneysucking sports arena when we already have TWO perfectly good ones in town, a bridge across the road to a building that no one uses and CUTS to vital academics. In the meantime our idiot head of the university is wanting a raise (FOR WHAT?!) and the lowest paid person in the 'administrative' wing (i.e. bureaucrats who don't do a [&@%!] thing) is getting more than the highest paid professor.

I swear, I will campaign for the University to lose its state funding if they continue to go against the POINT of universities.

Also, [&@%!] my father's political party. Actually, [&@%!] him too.

[BetaB17]

Note to self.. When wearing a fresh coat of peppermint oil on hands, do not touch your 'unmentionables'.. And by that I mean rubbing your eyes... It [&@%!] burns like a [&@%!]!! >___< Feels like damn acid for sight!

[The SheoDovah]

Dear Dovah,

READ THE [&@%!] THING PROPERLY TO AVOID COCKING UP! YOU MASSIVE ASS!

Kind regards,

Dovah

P.S. You're an ass.

[The Dread Lord]

Dear game devs, stop putting either an xbox or ps logo in your game trailers if they're for all systems. It's confusing! Thank you very much.

I also can't stand it when people who say that the Desmond storyline of Assassin's Creed is bad. The only reason Assassin's Creed has lasted this long is because of it! I guarantee that with out a linear storyline Assassin's Creed will die. Not only that. But the gameplay of unity sucks, combat sucks, story is boring and confusing, and there's no sense of urgency with the Assassin-Templar storyline.

[The SheoDovah]

Son of a [&@%!]! Why do you have to be in such poor condition, ME2?! It [&@%!] ruins the game for me! And it looks like i can't get another copy for no more then £20 and i don't want to spend that much out of next month's budget. [&@%!].

[Gandalf]

Hey, you know what I hate?
[&@%!] EVERYTHING.

[&@%!] exams, being three weeks away and giving me almost regular panic attacks.
[&@%!] friends, cutting me out of the group and acting like everything's fine.
[&@%!] depression, sapping the fun out of everything.
[&@%!] paranoia, making me think literally everything is a conspiracy against me.
[&@%!] kidney infection, my mum has been in hospital with it for the past two days.
And then there's that one guy who everyone I know hates but still insists on acting like he's everyone's best friend. We get it, you're gay. We get it, you're aware of politics. THERE'S NO NEED TO RUB IT IN LITERALLY EVERYONE'S FACE YOU [&@%!].
But most of all, me. Dude, go [&@%!] yourself. Piece of [&@%!] with a mile-long list of flaws and a negative list of redeeming qualities. Get yourself together before you lose everything and anything you ever loved. And STOP BEING SUCH AN [&@%!].

Ugh. I disgust myself sometimes.

[Dohva.]

Oh, okay. I guess it's cool that you only care if I exist when you need to vent about your problems. Not that I gladly will listen in return for friendship, but one sided relationships are rad too, right? Thanks for being a fair weathered buddy. Let's see what happens the next time you need someone to talk to about your stupid problems or are seeking advice.

I WON'T BE THERE FOR YOU.

Such bullcrap.

[The SheoDovah]

You [&@%!]. You lied to us or are [&@%!] at your job thus causing us to have no hot water at all. This is very annoying but unsurprising.

[Rose of Sithis]

I never had you pegged as the SJW type but I suppose your hobby is and always has been finding new and innovative ways to disappoint me and everyone else around you who isn't a [&@%!] retard

[MetaCthulhu]

You know what? I am sick and tired of everybody slapping a gate suffix on every single controversy. You know why Watergate had a gate suffix? Because it took place at the Watergate! If it happened today you know what people would call it? Watergategate! You think I'm kidding? You think that that is absolutely ridiculous, that they would never call it something as stupid as Watergategate, well guess what there's one called gategate, so people certainly aren't above idiotic names. And it's not like Watergate was the first scandal ever.
You know what? I am going to start ending any controversy with -dome: Bountydome, Gamerdome. Gatedome. Those sound better, and guess what? They're just as descriptive.


Well that made me feel better. I can't believe the amount of them that end with -gate, there's a whole page of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s ... %22_suffix
