Random Fail: First World Problems

[BaneTheBrawler]

Hovering is actually worse than letting your ass touch the toilet seat. When hovering, unless you have great calf/thigh strength you have to be gripping the toilet seat with your hands.

Personally, rather get germs on my ass, which doesn't generally touch all my stuff, than on my hands, which do.

Instant karma.

I think this is what happened to the woman, hence the skid marks. Either that or the skid marks preceded her and explains the hovering. Regardless, the bathroom was demolished by the time I got to it and I'm willing to blame her for everything.

My girlfriend is going to Cancun on a business trip next month, all expenses paid, without me. It happens to be the week we had tickets to see the Pittsburgh Orchestra do the Legend of Zelda and we have Sigur Ros later that week. I paid for all of those tickets. FML.

[NynJa]

You sure thats a "business trip" to cancun? lol

You can take me. I'll meet you in the South Side and we can go from there ~.^

I would fight you for him, but I don't want to see either of those performances.

I fucking knew I would regret going to work today! I was just finishing closing when the main computer I was on started acting all wonky, fucking thing got a virus somehow and I was powerless to stop it, because, you know, work computers and admin passwords and all. Fucking great. So I'm freaking out wondering what the fuck I did wrong, I put in an IT request and e-mailed my boss and a few others, and I called the second in command, who is just above me in the line.

"Oh, that computer's been acting weird for a few weeks now. Random pop-ups and other stupid shit."

REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!

. . .

No ... REALLY!?!?!?!?!?! So instead of preventive maintenance we just let it go, so it would go completely haywire?

/fume.

As the IT guy, your story makes my head hurt. I don't know how many times i've had a deputy or sergeant call and bitch about popups/viruses etc and when I get down there to yank the drive so i can re-image it, he mentions that it was acting weird for a few weeks with random pop ups and shit and thought it would just go away.

[Aksannyi]

Yeah I'm actually really mad if it was acting up like the second said and no one thought to do anything about it. I was freaking out thinking I'd have to replace the thing, which I can not afford right now. Moving is expensive.

They were able to fix it with no issues. My bank account is safe.

My wife wants to sell our house and move closer to our sons grandparents, our house is worth less than what we owe on it now... Oh yeah and the area where my parents live has very little work for me from what I have seen in my field.

Don't get me wrong I get along with my family really well as does my wife. But we are kinda stuck. Not sure if this is a first world problem but I had to vent somewhere.

The girlfriend works at a company that promotes travel destinations. The concerts are in Philadelphia. She's still hoping she can make it to the Sigur Ros show, but meh. I'm soured already. I know she'd rather me go with her and I know she really wants to see both, it just blows. She still gets to go to Mexico. Maybe I can trade the Sigur Ros tickets for the tickets for the performance following day.

*Bump*

Saw this on my facebook today ... what's more fail, the fact that my cousin is so excited about picking up her boyfriend from jail or the fact that two people like this status?



/sigh

(And she wonders why many of my other family members judge her so harshly ...)

Went on a road trip over the weekend. Took the time to get my truck serviced before we left to make sure it was good to go, got the oil changed, front differential fluid changed, and coolant flushed. Thermostat went out on the way home and couldn't finish getting home in the truck. Including labor, blown radiator hose, new thermostat, and coolant (again) just over $300. Oh and it is my birthday. FML

I guess the one good thing is that even though my truck broke down about 2 hours from my home we were really close to my sisters house so my brother in law lent me his truck to get home and then took my truck to the shop for me this morning.

[hey]

Well, what was he in jail for? If it was jay walking, i don't see the problem.

[Aksannyi]

I have no idea. I do know that she has a history of dating people who find themselves in jail, though.

Went down to California on vacation on the 20th. Go to the beach on the 21st, sunburn the living shit out the tops of my feet (totally spaced and didn't even think about putting sunblock there.) Also spaced and left my phone in my swim trunks pocket as I waded knee-deep into surf while holding little brother. Wasn't planning on getting into water that early but he wanted to go check it out and so I didn't even think about what was in my pockets.

Needless to say I couldn't walk very far or where any kind of footwear for the first 4-5 days of my 10 day vacation. That shit was so bad there is still an area scabbing in the middle of the top of my feet, and that is with my putting aloe vera on it religiously for the duration of my vacation.

My phone works but is glitchy and the voice command shit keeps coming on and playing random music and/or calling random people. The home button also doesn't work (iphone). >_>

[MaachaQ]

Argh... my laptop is still in the process of being recovered (massive harddrive failure, lots of data lost ><) so I'm borrowing my husband's MacBook. Apparetly he's got some kind of filter set up that I can't turn off since the OS is in Korean, and he's still on the train to work so I can't ask him to turn it off ><

[Jefe]

I just came from outside, it's hot as hell and I feel sticky. I'm debating if I should shower twice today.

[bigrougabagel]

Dunno if this fits entirely, but I nearly wet myself. Single sentence and rabbled rebuttal overheard as I exited the math tutoring center.

Girl: Oh my god you guys, gonorrhea is like, so bad.
Other girls: What? Huh? Noway! Who tole u dat?

The contentious issue is finally being discussed in the ivory tower of a local community college; Ghonorrhea, is it like, bad you guys?

[Aksannyi]

I just moved and the biggest fail I have to deal with is financial, due to the fucking FEES!

$35 connection fee for the electric? Check
$50 application fee for the apartment complex? Check
$150 security deposit for the apartment complex? Check
$25 connection fee for the cable-tr0ns? Check
$215 security deposit for the water company? Che-whaAAAAUUUUHHHH?

Yeah, you read that right. This is a flat rate for anyone wishing to turn on water in Pinellas County. Doesn't matter how your credit is (mine's good and working its way up to great, for the record), that's the same cost for everyone. I didn't live paycheck to paycheck before, but now that I paid that $215, I sure do now. I wonder how these people sleep at night ... and it's not like you can go without water. $215 is more than I will pay in a year. Possibly more than I will pay in two years. That's beyond insane.

The other fees I was prepared to deal with, honestly. But $215 is a little bit extreme. That's over a third of the monthly rent I'm paying. I had to take out an employee advance at work to pay for it. Oh, and along with the move, it just so happens that my truck registration renewal was due at the end of June, on top of everything else. Yeah. Money's gonna be tight for a while, at least until I get my deposit from the old place back. So .. my fail is working my ass off pulling 50+ hours (on a light week) and still not having enough to make this move!

At least now everyone who wants to knock Cream Soda for not having water knows why. :/

What started out as a fail of a Canada day turned into a Win.

So, over the long weekend, my friends and I were planning to go out to Will's Cabin. Will, Nick, John, Will, Steven, Barb, and myself.

We planned on leaving Sat morning. 1am on Sat, I get a phone call from Will saying that Nick decided to not go so he could DM his D&D group. Because of that, John cancels. I took some time to decide but I cancelled aswell because I didn't want to spend an entire weekend with just Will while Steven and Barb did couple things. During Saturday day, I get a text from Will blaming me for the weekend being ruined and how Steven and Barb cancelled because I decided not to go. That puts me in a pissy mood for most of Sat.

Sunday comes around. Went to see Ted with my parents who spent the entire time calling it gay(wasn't, was actually a pretty epic movie). So Sunday is starting to suck aswell. I then chill inside till 9pm and go for one of my long ass jogs/walks during which, I listen to Audio Books. It's a great stress reliever.

So, I'm walking down a busy street just so I can see how chicks. My lesbian friend Adrienne stops me and asks me to join her and her friend Sam at this Cafe. I figure, why not. Beats what I was currently planning. I join em and it turns out that Sam is here waiting for a dating site first meeting and Adrienne is there incase he turns out to be a douche or something then hit him with hardcore feminist shit to scare him off.

While we're waiting, the 3 of us just chat about cool TV shows and how excited we are for the return of Breaking Bad and Dexter. Finally, the dude shows up. Name was Streeter, no joke.

We all just chat about life. Streeter and I get into numerous nerd debates about super heroes and who would win in a fight. Goku or Superman. I was arguing Goku would win. I then shared many of my medical stories because at this point. I had no interest in Sam. I wasn't going to cockblock the guy. I respect the Bro code. I'm just being me.

Midnight comes and I'm starting to shake a lot from my drugs. To keep it from being noticeable I start messing around with the paper menu. I decide to make Origami out of it. Sam apparently gets really impressed by this and starts asking me for more of em. I made her some of the simple ones like a Crane, Balloon, Frog, and fortune teller.

Our Bills come and for some reason the waitress puts Sam's meal on my bill. I'm a nice guy and didn't care. I pointed it out and Sam just kept saying "no, it's my bill, let me". It didn't bug me, I got paid on Friday. But Streeter didn't even offer which she took pretty stongly. 2:30 comes and we start walking around seeing all the happy drunk Canadians and the cops kicking peoples asses. Was a fun walk and the whole time, Streeter isn't showing interest in Sam at all.

Finally Streeter decides it's time to leave and I walk Sam and Adrienne back to Adrienne's apartment where Sam was spending the night. Sam asks me to come in and chat for a bit. Asks me if I'm single and what not. We get in. She waves me over to sit beside her and within minutes we're making out. Adrienne gets the hint and leaves.

Few hours later, we're naked and cuddling. I notice the time and have to bolt home because I didn't carry extra pills on me so I don't die. I have to walk home and it's a bit of a walk. The entire time I'm basically dancing because I don't know what the hell happened or why but I wasn't complaining. lol

And now Sam wants to date me.

Best Canada day ever.
