It's a work in progress.

Boards aren't built in a day.

They take like... 2 days.

This falls into the "annoyance/humorous" category, here goes.

I'm a coordinator in a database/publications dept., and I received an application today where the applicant listed the following as their technical skills:

Internet
Skype

I'd agree with that assessment.

I messaged a girl on Facebook for her number. We made out, one night, and then I saw her yesterday and one of her friends gave me HER OWN number, just in case we're both in chicago for lolla, blah blah. so I messaged her this:


Unfortunately, last night I got Larissa's number, though I actually wanted yours. I am going to be up in *your neck of the woods* again this week, and it would be good to see you/coordinate without having to rely on running into you at scott's. So here it is: can I have your number? and my bad for not asking sooner.


I guess I came on a little too strong and it woulda been cooler of me to not have asked, but I was just tryna be polite, make her feel special/valued. Oh well, worst comes to worst, she gets an ego boost and I get nothing.

in the time I took to post that, she messaged me back with something along the lines of " I'm in love with yr friend's new puppy, so I will see you there for sure. Let me know if you are in chicago or ann arbor this weekend. Number"

It annoys me that I got so uptight about a girl I hardly know, especially since I'm moving back to school in 3 weeks. I'm way too high-strung.

Never use the word "coordinate" when talking about something you want to do with a woman. "It would be good to see you" would have sufficed.

Had an argument with some guy on a push bike. I was with my wife on the pavement (sidewalk) and he pinged his bell and we didn't move, then as he came past us he said

Arsehole : "I rang my bell, which means you should get out of the way"
Me: "Errr, you should be cycling on the road mate"
Arsehole : "I haven't got my helmet on, which is why I'm not on the road, how hard is that to understand?"
Me: "It's irrelevant mate, it's illegal to ride on the pavement."

At which point he got off his bike and started ranting in a threatening matter. My wife said ignore him so I did and then she started to have a go at him. At which point we turned into the drive of a store we were going to and hecarried on throwing obscenities before getting on his bike and riding off. I was fuming.

So yes, cyclists that ride on pavements annoyed me today.

i'm not risking getting hit by a damn car just because you think you own the pavements.

That's fair enough but it's illegal and you don't have right of way because of this. I've cycled on pavements but I never expect pedestrians to comply with MY route.

Wearing a helmet should be made law in the UK.

it's not illegal here.

and it's common courtesy here to make way for those traveling faster than you if given advanced warning.

One time I was driving and made a bike that was speeding right between the cars fall horribly. I was not sorry at all. Bikes are just like automobiles, they are supposed to be driven in a line. Just because a bike fits between two cars does not mean they are authorized to drive between them. So fuck that guy. The sound of the moron falling down and smacking the concrete with his unprotected head stills rings in my ears every summer morning.

Moe Lestor.

I'm not positive about Ohio, but in every jurisdiction I'm familiar with bikes are regulated similar to motor vehicles, required to adhere to the vehicle code, and may only be walked on sidewalks or in cross walks, not ridden.

I'm not complaining too loudly, because I know people around the country are being burnt alive right now, but I'm a little annoyed that I have to use my windshield wipers driving home in August ...

Dude, it was like that up until a week or two ago here. Rainy and cold. We haven't hit above 90 in about a year. Mildest summer ever. Still, better than 100+ weather. :noclue:

Annoying me today, my girlfriend.

You'd expect a grown woman has gone past the routine of saying "if you want to call me, call me... if not, it's ok" and then complaining because you don't call her (and, of course, she doesn't call you either).

Goddamn it. I wish I liked alcohol so I could get fucking wasted.

:banghead: :banghead:

Is it really THAT hard to just be a simple human being?
