Hey, man, it's the mancession. Bros gotta take whatever retarded shit they can get their mands on.

wtf

mainly offends me as a very ugly word

There isn't a single thing about "guy culture" that make any sense to me whatsover. Like, assuming it isn't a deeply ironic thing, "guybrarian" feels like something aliens might've invented.

i think it's mainly a jokey thing but one of those jokes where the implications make it not so funny once you stop to think about what you're actually saying when you say it

it's not like a "guy culture" thing really, it's just a joke about the rarity of male librarians, like they are something different/special. but it reinforces the stereotype by implying that librarians are a distinct thing from guybrarians who are all female. anyways. it's mainly just stupid and aesthetically unpleasant.

Irrationally angry at inarticulate overemphasis on "guyness". Although its innocuousness is highly arguable.

2/3 of the librarians I know are men. NO. 3/4.

I know one twatbrarian and she's a lawyer now.

I'm sorry, a twattorney.

and srsly, wtf at librarian needing to be somehow 'owned' by guys. I've known as many dude librarians as women, so they can take their guybrarian and file it under 819 (Literature) which according to wiki is currently unassigned and shall now be reinstated as "Satire & Humor (failed"

I'm a vagsalesperson!

I'm unmanployed!

There is a very immature part of me that loves Manjula's name almost as much as her recipes

(Seriously tho, best Youtube cook)

Information Manology.

Dickformation Cocknology

wtf at librarian needing to be somehow 'owned' by guys.

just want to reiterate that as far as i can tell, this is not what "guybrarian" is about - i've never met a male librarian who wants to be called a guybrarian and i've only ever heard women say it (jokingly)

Call those women "ovarianbrarians."

fucking charter school kindergarten lotteries where my kids name doesnt get pulled. oh well, public school and welfare for beeps and hammer, i guess.

:(

omg Manjula and I are Facebook frans; I love that lady so much!!!!

"GET INVOLVED" shitting up live news pages on the BBC website (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/17349443). If I want to read those tweets I'll follow the hashtags.

Any marketing campaign that utilizes some variant of "Make your voice heard!" or "The choice is yours!" with respect to consumption or something equally trivial. Oh, thank you for allowing me the agency to let the world know how I put my toilet paper on the spindle! TWO kinds of gum in one pack?! At last I am free! P.S. Go die.

food porn, guitar porn, car porn, …. it's worse than adding +gate to every political scandal.

This morning I'm in at the course. Can't sign into the computer for some reason, every time I try i'm denied access. so I've told the teacher and am assuming she'll have to call the computer tech guy. so I'm at a loose end and get a book out.
Turns out that computer gets turned off when I went to the toilet and it does turn on and let me in. But teacher says 'could you do me a favour and put the book away it looks out of place on a computer course'
Like I'm supposed to sit there and twiddle my thumbs or something while waiting for a machine I should expect to be working properly to give me the essential access. Or like a book is a disease?
Apparently there's somebody else in the class who's had to unplug then replug their computer every morning since the class started last week. & nothing's been done about it.
& we're all supposed to be adults & the machine is central to the course.
Weird priorities. Am I supposed to just dismiss it all as being down to 'the cutbacks' ?
One of the wheels on my chair fell off this morning too. Strewth.

Any expressed disapproval of reading in favor of doing NOTHING, for the idiotic reason that you might appear to be otherwise mentally engaged, predictably infuriates me. Although these days, being a grown up makes it better because you an answer back, in a way, as long as you put the onus of mentally engaging you on the other person. Like, "Do you have something else you'd rather have me do while I wait for this shortcoming of your equipment to be remedied?"

*can answer back

WTF, you're a student in this course? Like if you were an employee (teacher or whatever) maybe reading a book would be NAGL, but as a student?

*pulls out feather quill and inkwell*

WTF at that teacher.

Wearing the wrong shoes on a rainy day. I put on my comfy flats to wear to work, but it started raining. I went out at lunch and now my socks are completely wet. Waaah. also RAGGH

and the worst is that I saw on the weather report yesterday that it was going to rain all week, but it STILL didn't raise an alarm when I put on my dry-weather-only shoes this morning. Stupid brain.

The weather in Chicago is completely bonkers right know (but which I mean it is high 60s and sunny right now haha) and for the life of me I cannot dress correctly.

IA: right know right now wtf, carl agatha?

I know right

Yeah weather is kinda mental in Sacramento too - was in the 70's on Saturday, 60's yesterday, not really cold at all and now bam, raining again. Last week was icy cold. Endtimes.jpg

Wet feet make me grumpy all day.

feels gross, god I can't wait to get home and change my fucking socks

Ugh. I hate when people freestyle rap on public transit. This guy is at least rapping to a friend, I guess.

Singing in full voice on the train is also terrible.

Update: this guy sort of redeemed himself in my opinion by seamlessly transitioning from rap to "I'm hungry, I'm sleepy, I'm hungry and sleeeepy," then flopping over onto his friend (girlfriend). Lol.

Ugh. I hate when people freestyle rap on public transit.

I.... can't say I have ever had this happen, anywhere.

cosign.

American plumbing, in particular toilets make me IA. Also sewer lines, as of today. I've probably ranted about this before but seriously the toilets carry way too much water and nowhere near the amount of waste they need to, totally inefficient and unless you live in a brand new house, your plumbling likely dates from the 70's or earlier. Houses don't have downpipes, ugh it's just a waking nightmare.

Our house is 100 years old, or almost. And our sewer has been getting attacked by tree roots ever since we bought the place, so we've always had to be careful with our water usage because the cleanout will blow if you look at it sideways. We finally bit the bullet and had the problem part of the sewer line replaced, the part that runs through the back yard (ie where all the tree roots are). I was under the impression we were dealing with either deteriorated clay or metal pipe. Nope.
1950's era TARPAPER pipe.
Seriously America. WTF.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangeburg_pipe

haha, yeah, that is really the only one that would fail. My parents just had theirs replaced. I don't get why the hell you'd have that if your house is that old -- that means it was replaced already, with that crap!

Basically they used that during WW2 and then people were like "eh, whatever" and kept using it until nearly 1970 in places with decent housing codes, and even longer elsewhere. It was really only meant as a temporary-use product, but people were all into saving money.

Yeah in the wiki it says it was primarily used as electrical conduit, and oil companies used it but ugh omg it fails so they stopped...which didn't seem to deter anyone from using it for plumbing. Lol oldentimes.
