Oh hahaha

Brane not smrt today

That's pretty cool unperson. I just watched that one again recently. Was it in California?

My grandpa had Flying Deuces and I watched it a fair bit at his place.

Ok, ok, when people close to you say, in social situations: "Tell them about X!" I feel like it shouldn't bother me, but it's such a derail and it puts you on the spot.

agh I hate that!

Man yeah I can only talk about Wild Gift so many times before I feel like I'm rehearsing a speech.

'withdrawl'

- people who hardly ever post on Facebook except when they randomly decide to educate everyone on a chosen issue and do so in a series of longwinded preachy posts .intermittently throughout the entire weekend ..and all their flunky friends say "ooh that is so true wow and blah" ...and I hide them from my feed. Go write a damn blog, jesus christ.

My friend of a friend of a friend is currently holding forth on gun control. It's awesome.

a true raider would set that person straight

or hold a press conference looking like death and ramble about jim plunkett, yr choice

Thing is a certain person I am married to happens to do it. But I am trying to be more don't-sweat-the-small-stuff, which will probably just lead to passive agressiveness anyway.

xxpost don't you have brats to soak for the superbowl or something mookie? leave a poor Raider fan be

'withdrawl'

yes, this. it's withdraw-al. like apprais-al or repris-al. nobody's drawling.

also ia: pronouncing "realtor" like "real-id-er." where does that third syllable come from??

That reminds me -- every website now having a "registration" with a login and password. How the fuck am I supposed to remember my login and password for a concert ticket vendor or some random foreign newspaper?

Won't help with buying-things websites, but for newspapers and such, Bugmenot is your friend: http://www.bugmenot.com/
There's an extension you can just use to get past these things

What's "VALE" btw?

Brit funeral irrit would be "well, he had a good innings" and "tragically short", often about the same person.

Mark, you didn't do Latin at school, right? It means 'goodbye'.

oh right. (no)

Never heard this, then again not been to many funerals. Enough, though..

I remember John Peel concluding a rambling tale of trying to find something in a pile of demo tapes heaped all over the car while driving with something like "that's probably how I'm going to die, staring at badly-labelled tapes in a dark car instead of looking at the road, and everyone will say 'oh, it's how he'd have wanted to go', and let me assure you now, listeners: it is not how I'd have wanted to go"

so, "it's how he'd have wanted to go" for a posthumous irritation, I guess

Mmm, I also remember he often talked about gong on holiday but was put off by the "cheap holiday in other people's misery" line in the Pistols' "Holiday in the Sun", eventually people were "oh for gods sake man"....

many xposts, but mr spacecadet does the "tell them about ___!" thing too, and I don't have time to get my thoughts together and the lame, wrongly-ordered version of the story which flops out inevitably makes everyone present think "well that wasn't worth being told about"

worst is when I stumble my way through one story about ___ and he goes "no, I meant the time when ___ ___ ___" and I have to start on another one, having already bored and embarrassed everyone present with one rambling anecdote only to have it declared not the one that anyone might want to hear

ps gently amused at an "i" appearing in "realtor", since I assume it's like the US version "specialty" vs "speciality", where the "i" fell out because that position wasn't phonologically stable either. (not that we use "realty"/"realtor", and obv telling someone you deal in "reality" would be a pretty weird declaration and not involve real estate)

> he often talked about gong on holiday

Gong on holiday:

people who bring "their coffee" in a thermos. Some hipster is sitting out in reception with his netbook and his thermos sipping his coffee and i want to smash him in his tortoise shell glasses.

urgh pouring himself another cup. and licking the coffee off his fingers that spilled over the side.

now he's running his fingers through his asian girlfriends hair. Hey fuckwad this is a godamn place of business not a dorm room.

Go kick him in the mouth!

im about to. good thing i wore my docs today.

I hope you put him in the hospital! Don't forget to write a bail bondman's phone number on your arm first.

i mean who accompanies his gf on an interview? this wanker.

GET HIM

lately I've been getting more and more IA with ppl who set up at Starbucks or wherever like it's a studyhall, or their office. I saw a girl studying at my local sbux with her legs hanging over the arm of a chair, shoes off, papers everywhere. Guess what: YOU DON'T LIVE HERE. And dickwads with their bluetooth headsets and laptops conducting phone meetings at sbux giving you dirty looks for having a conversation with a friend. Oh, I'm sorry, you can't hear? BLOW ME.

grr.

i hated every second that little fucker was here.

i once watched someone conduct a "job interview" at an sbux. i put that in scare quotes because he made the interviewee watch a 15-minute company video on his laptop before saying anything else. the interviewee watched the video, declined to continue the conversation, and walked out.

people who bring "their coffee" in a thermos

My workplace just "upgraded" to Folgers in the breakroom. Sadly, it really was an upgrade from the crap they did have. I've been known to bring my own coffee in a french press or thermos or whatever. Why not?

I work with people who bring their own coffee maker. I do not begrudge them.

There was someone who posted on our company blog begging for better coffee in the side stations. Our company isn't exactly known for being a sweatshop, it offers a top notch benefit package and amenities in each building, has a St@rbucks downstairs, and also sells Seattles Best coffee at an affordable price.

The idea that someone feels entitled to better free coffee made me wanna tell them to stfu.

in a travel mug is acceptable, thermos no. my opinion, as i have a lot of issues with people and coffee ever since that mcdonalds commercial with that asshole walking around.

I used to bring a Thermos of coffee, but stopped because it was too much hassle. At my current job I was in a coffee pool, but now I have my own machine and grinder. Why drink mediocre coffee 5 days a week?

Is a thermos acceptable if you work 50 stories in the air on an steel beam?

yeah, I guess I can see why this enrages some people

Ok, yeah, I'm totally with you on the "business" douchebags that jabber loudly on their bluetooth, but getting IA at people studying in a coffeeshop? Part of what a coffeeshop is for, right? I mean, what's next? Getting IA about people studying at the library?

thats the exact one hipster fuck face had!

(x-post) No, that's what S-bux's new Trente is for!

Thread about irrational anger lives up to name.

chrisv is always IA, iirc, must be a pleasure to be around

xxpost jon -- my problem isn't with straight studying at Sbux, it's taking off your shoes and spreading out all over an area that other people might want to sit and generally making the area your den of squalor.

Studying at starbux, i'm totally down with.
