Jesse's riding a sneaky hate spiral all the way to the bottom today.

Hey ding dong is your echofon working now?

I am feeling really super weird today. It feels sort of good, but like I'm on the edge of wigging out.

Yes, my echofon is working, thanks, Jeff.

BUT GUESS WHAT? I couldn't remember my password, so I recovered it using my most sacred personal email address, and when I logged in under that email address, it took me to an account called @boyman88*, an account that I am about 90% sure I did not create. It contained my real first and last name and it only had 1 tweet: "Not much" from 7:00 p.m. one day in January, 2010.

I mean, I guess I created that account and made that tweet, but I really super duper do not remember it at all, and despite sometimes being bawdy or raunchy or sexy or slutty, I would never use the name "boyman". It freaked me the fuck out!

*"boyman" is real, but I changed the number. It was not "69."

this irritating stout hair that is growing inexplicably out of the side of my neck but is too short to grasp with a pair of tweezers and that I can't stop scratching at

dunno if this is irrational anger so much as lulz toward someone else's irrational anger, but here ya go. also included the follow-up response. comedy gold.

(the guy is a total crank and an object lesson in why universities could stand to do away with a tenure system)

Pretty sure I'd get in trouble for calling him Doctor Professor Krieger.

undercooked potatoes in potato salad, why do i keep running into this

I read that as some sort of emollient curse..

"undercooked potatoes in potato salad!"

Emollient?

Pertaining to Balsamic Vinegar.

Sharing Facebook photos outside of Facebook is now nigh-on impossible unless you go in and retrieve the JPG URL via source code. Rubbish!

As well as what Jesse said, just hit F5 and it'll refresh as a regular image webpage. Right click on the image, slsect "view image" and theres yer url code.

BTW the Divinyls are hardly a "girl fronted pop band" - Chrissie Amphlett would heabutt you in the nuts if you said that to her.

Yeah, but she doesn't post here. This thread is all about 'you'.

hey I can officially cross my last IA off this list because we found a replacement and she was way better than our original violinist ^_^

Men's shoes that are like driving shoes/slip-ons/mocs but with a rubber sole.

I'm sure I don't even notice them when the person doesn't strike me as irrationally annoying and slovenly, but I notice men with wide feet wearing them and slopping all over the sides because the shoes don't have any support, rolling their feet in or out, walking like ducks, and generally making me want to beat them over the head with their godawful ugly shoes.

there's this guy at my job who wears these leather boat shoe thingies, but wears them so the back of the shoe is folded down and squashed under his gross callused heel. Just wear fucking sandals!

Ugh. No.

Just grow up and wear shoes like a god damn grown up.

YES, GAWD. Thank you. The sloppy slippers combined with bad posture and a knock-kneed walk made me want to KO someone I had to be around over the weekend. I'm sure he couldn't figure out why I gave him such flat looks and mono-syllabic responses when he tried to talk.

I wonder what that guy's motives are. It doesn't seem like having squashed shoe under your heels would be comfortable. Maybe he is trying to go for a deeply carefree, unkempt look? Maybe it was a look he saw on vacation and he has some kind of Parrot-head outlook and he's like, "Fuck yeh, I'm gonna dress like the dude from the islands - he's really living the life. He doesn't have to worry about bullshit like work and fully enveloped feet." But he didn't realize that the guy with the slovenly squashed shoes was a destitute alcoholic who only owned that pair of shoes, and he wore them that way because they were too small and they cut into backs of his heels.

^^^ this generation's O Henry.

Reading about films I won't get to see in months or years: Sokurov's Faust. I hate you mubi feed.

people who have their work email default style to like 14pt in a bright color.

People who insist that the flu shot causes the flu.

Yes because they distract from the overwhelming proof that it causes autism and internal Funyons.

here's this guy at my job who wears these leather boat shoe thingies, but wears them so the back of the shoe is folded down and squashed under his gross callused heel.

Ugh! I have been seeing this with women wearing ballet slipper style shoes. They always seem to have their feet crammed into a pair at least a size too small, and the shoes barely come up over the sides of the feet, so the same thing happens - back of shoe crushed under manky heel. WHY WHY WHY. It looks revolting.

The list of feet-related things that make me IA is very long. Glad to see I have fellow-sufferers

feet are vile

I get freaked out by feet every summer. I'm shocked how many people expose them, especially on public transportation. I look down and all I see are hundreds of toes. Never ending toes. My hell.

this is definitely ia, but i hate washing my feet in the shower. it requires me to bend down *and* balance on one foot at a time, something i never have to do at any other point in the showering process. i'm lazy; can't i just stand there?

So you don't like getting bent?

i can dish it out, but...

accidentally clicking on a thread you never had any intention of reading, and seeing the little circle instead of a dot for the next few days

-- friends you've known for 15+ yrs who listen to the same handful of bands over and over and over. I never need to hear Pink Floyd or Queen or NIN ever again, please God.

- getting an email from the removalist you last used, saying "hey! like us on Facebook to recieve a special offer on your next move!". As I'm about to move house this seems aweseome. If only they'd tell me what the awesome deal is before I click....
- ....$50 off an order of their boxes on moving day?! Their boxes *I wont even use cos I have my own already*!? AAARGHHH STUPID BAIT AND SWITCH.

that's not really a bait and switch, though

like, if they'd said "$100 off your next move!" and you liked them and they said "ooh we sold out, have $50 off some boxes lol", that would be a bait and switch

Yeah, I know, I was exaggerating for effect, was still annoying though.

I feel tricked into the "like", but I should know better, tbh.

You can 'unlike' just as easily, right?

Oh of course, of course.

Can yer? Cool, didn't know that.
