Random Fail: First World Problems

[Tyrath]

Then tell him to fuck off.

Someone's pressing you for a gift? Fuck them.

[Lyall]

How did you get forced into this agreement in the first place? It seems pretty douchey to agree to exchange gifts, secure a specific one and then hand over a notebook.

Like, I said, I realize it's mostly my fault for even saying "how about this jacket?" in the first place, before I had opened anything. He was adamant about getting my present to me on Christmas eve was important and I assumed it was probably something decent in the $20ish range and I was willing to double that. Well, it was $5-10 range and I don't mind doubling THAT.

I should have known better because this kid will take an inch and run it into a mile. There is no "Oh that's too expensive!" humble-ness with him. It's "That's cool, get me that, thanks." I'm honestly not sure if he's oblivious or dedicated to the craft of miser-ing. However, when he "confirms" what I am going to buy him via FB, I get the feeling he knows and he's trying to legal his way into the gift. "So we're getting the jacket with the so-and-so print, thanks!"

Anyway, again, mostly my fault. I showed him something with the impression I could get it for him. And I haven't backed out yet throughout all this. Hence the longevity of this Christmas present thing and the random fail story.

Doesn't sound like someone I'd want to have contact with.

[BaneTheBrawler]

yeah, this airenn person sounds pretty sketchy.

Have you gone to a mountain yet this season? It's been so damn warm even VT wasn't getting much in the way of snow.

One of my friends is going out to Park City area sometime in the next two months; I'm hoping to snag a free place to stay for the weekend. He's going to do some job out there, but it's still not confirmed when he'd be out there.

Was up in Stowe for 2 days right after it snowed. Pretty decent but still way less than normal.

Planning a stealth trip to CO and/or Jackson for a week very soon.

tits can be had for free. lots of them. they'd have to be pretty spectacular to have to work hard for them.

Unrelated note: If you were born naturally and a male, then you're genitals have passed through your mother's genitals.

It sounds more like you gave him an inch and he took an inch. He's not asking for a car, just exactly what you said you'd get. Everything you've mentioned about him just seems like genuine naive excitement, and I highly doubt he'd be nearly as disappointed in not getting it as you seem to be making it out to be.

Good thing I was a C-section baby

[Churchill]

[Tyrath]

Also, since women are born with all of their eggs...you were also once inside your grandmother.

I use to think that my family curse was a joke. This year already is making me believe it more and more.

Jan 3rd Snow/Ice in Portland, brother said it would be no problem to drive in his truck. Later that night looking down the hill we would have to take we can see cars crashed at the bottom and nope'd out. Couldn't get anyone to fill in for work for me if my life was in danger. Co-workers husband had to come pick me up and pray we didn't die on the way.

Jan 4th Got off work and crashed at my parents house since roads were still slick. Brother comes to pick me up to go home and sleep a little longer before heading out. He went to chip ice off his truck, forgot to turn his ebrake off and probably toasted his brakes.

Jan 5th Pay day was suppose to be today, corporate fucked up not telling anyone and almost bounced my account since my rent is always scheduled for the 5th but I had a little cushion to save my ass. Barely.

Jan 6th Come into work, my Friday, things are goin ok and people check into the hotel. Kid has one of those weird scooter rolling things and said that was cool. He offered for me to give it a shot, put one foot on and was a little sketchy as it started to move in circles and took my foot off. He put out his hand saying it'll balance for me and so I get on with both feet, lose balance and fall on my ass/wheel thing. Arm hurts, broke his thing. His parents were more worried about me but the kid was like 12. Kid went on and on to pay him back, I felt like shit so his parents told him to wait outside, I paid the 300 bucks it cost being so guilty and apologized over and over. His parents told me that if it was theirs they wouldn't mind, accidents happen etc but man shit hurts inside and out.

Lets see what else this year has to fuck me over with.

edit; almost forgot, Jan 2nd Power supply in pc went out on me. gg.
