Random Fail: First World Problems

[BaneTheBrawler]

dont we have someone on bg in the TV industry? maybe that person knows the best place to start, or whether that's actually a scam (sure as hell sounds like one to me).

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Well, you're alive what else you want?

This pisses me off. By that logic, this entire thread shouldn't exist. I get really annoyed when people say this to me.

[Ksandra]

That's what's most confusing. I applied through foodnetwork.

that's odd. Do you have a contact person that isn't related to nonscripted? (ie. the first email saying they were interested, was that from nonscripted?)

Makes me wonder if they somehow get a hold of the list of people that applied and try and trick them into signing up.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I've sent several emails out on the Foodnetwork site asking about Nonscript. Just waiting back on them.

[Ksandra]

Ya that's smart. Noscripted may pay the food network for a list of those that applied or w/e to see if they can't rope people in.

I wish you luck! Would totally be cool to see you on TV.

[Jefe]

Manned the fuck up and went to the store... came back to find out movie night was canceled. Went out for no good reason. #wrists

You know this is a joke thread, right? And deal wit it.

[BaneTheBrawler]

no, it's a FWP thread.

You're talking to someone who proudly displays a "Made in Mexico" graphic in their signature while also being proudly homophobic, apparently not minding at all that homophobia didn't become a thing in that country until the Spanish Inquisition. It's cool, though—true pride means you don't actually care about your native culture, just the one that your people were forcefully assimilated into.

Not exactly a brain trust. Don't take it personally.

You shouldn't be paying anyone. Legitimate agencies don't charge you up front, they get paid when you do.

I don't take it personally. I just find it to be a dumb thing to say. By that logic he shouldn't be homophobic because he's alive, right? Or anyone should never feel stressed ever? And I take nothing personally. If I did I'd have bitched slapped a woman in my family studies class because when I told my class about my transplant I got to my distain of smokers. To which this dumb chick says.

"That's a rude opinion to have. Some people are forced to smoke"

And then the teacher defended her statement.

Can you prove your claims, or are you simply a mandrill flinging shit?

[Aksannyi]

Forced to smoke? Really? That's the biggest fail I've heard in a while.

[Brill Weave]

Take the boy with me to Home Depot so I can buy a new gas can and two cycle oil. Come home and the gas can is broken. So I pour the oil into the gas with the intent to use a funnel to put it in the snow blower. No funnel. So I eyeball it and just start dumping gas in. A bit spills on the driveway. So I grab the hose and spray it off, clean off the snowblower, and throw some cat litter on the spill in the garage. Did I mention it's 20 degrees here? Go down to my car to get the groceries. Immediately slip on ice, fall, and crack the back of my head off the driveway. I stand up and I literally say out loud "how the fuck is there ice on the driveway." Apparently hose water doesn't have magical properties that keeps it from freezing almost immediately. Who knew.

[Airenn]

I want this to be real so badly because I need something good to happen to me but I'm very worried about getting ripped off.

Going to get SO slammed for this, but fuck it. This has been bothering me.

Finally moved out of your parents house, whom you say you hate and hate you/your life/your gf. But, your mother(at least) still gives you money/pays for trips for you. Have a beautiful GF who lets you live rent free. Don't have to work because of your "condition" - Of which you always complain about pain.

Weekly status updates about playing laser tag and paintball. Accepted back into school. Recent puppy, which is WORK.

In the last year has gone on about 3+ vacations some of which to Hawaii/Vegas and shit in which were paid for you and did some very exerting things while there.

Complains about damn near everything and how your life is such shit and so much pain and had all this happened to you in your life. Canada, so medical expenses paid for - Not HEAPING in debt. You ARE obviously alive. (I know the "it would be worse/be glad you're not a black kid in Ethiopia" shit gets old and annoying but holy fuck if it doesn't apply to you then I don't know who it applies for.)


Your life has a really good back story, don't get me wrong. But, imo, it's time you stopped bitching about it and using it like it SHOULD be reasons you get stuff. Christ, you're living what many of us consider a "dream."

Edit: Also, yes it sounds like a scam. Maybe contact some local news agencies about it and also give them your story. I get you wanna use your story for some cool things/money/fame - Any of us would, but you might have to work a little for it and not wait for it to "fall into your lap."

[bluefan]

Eh, he's a Winnipegger. Most people here are like that hahaha.

[BaneTheBrawler]

hey guess what thread this is? It's the FIRST WORLD PROBLEM THREAD WHERE WE COMPLAIN ABOUT STUPID SHIT THAT HAPPENS TO US

you wouldn't have slipped had you thrown drywall down over the freezing hose water

No, you're sorta right. Won't get slammed by me at least, definitely think its true

Bane, most of the complaining that Myrrh does is outside of this thread. I have gotten to the point where I don't even read all of what he writes. He is a whiner.

[AoE]

Can't even be mad at Airenn if most of that is true. Don't know Myrrh well enough to judge though. I always just secretly wish him the best.
