Little things that really bug you

[peterska2]

Why is it that it's always the little things that really get up your nose?

Like getting ready to go to bed at 0540 and then remembering that your bed linen is still in the washing machine :(

Is it really worth the going to bed coz by the time the tumble dryer has finished it'll be time to get up again :(

That actually happened to me last night. Was coding vBMS until 3:34 AM, noted it was 3:34 AM, went over to the bed, and noted that there was only a mattress with nothing on it.

Today, I'm bugged by the stupid-ass MIME format for e-mail (XML is so vastly superior and I challenge anybody to provide an argument), requiring to reference fields and methods within a class of PHP with $this where it's implied everywhere else, and how Zend Studio doesn't antialias any text.

The mattress with nothing on it has happened to me too, I usually get real angry or just find a blanket or something to cover myself with. But usually - it's really angry.

Well now I'm up again and discovered that my PC is trying to fry itself again, missed an important phone call by being in the shower, my email isn't working, and I've got loads to do and get to college for 1pm. Not gonna happen as it's 45 mins away and it's 12:30pm now.

Oh, many things irritate me. I can think of a few now.

My mother really patronises people who work in shops, etc. She over-gesticulates (exuberant hand movements) to people when she is speaking to them, as if they are retarded or as if English is their second language. It really gets to me.

For example:

"DOOOOO. YOOOOOO. HAAAAVE. WUNN. OVVV. THEEEEESE."

Pisses me off. Rising shop prices also irritate me. Long list, but I will stop right now... :)

I nearly forgot one.

Having 8 hours sleep in a whole week. It's not so much that it bugs me, but by this point I'm practically dead. (and 4.5 hours were last night at that!)

Life bugs me ;)

hum... hopefully, Life is not a bug... or it is ?!... Windows make Life easier, was a slogan from Microsoft ... and as Windows is a bug, i suppose we can calculate some tendency!

Human Beings are a disease ;)

Or at least that's what my mentor and role-model Agent Smith says ;)

This cold bugs me.
Having to cover the phones because the level 1 guy is out bugs me.
This girl sending pictures to my b/f bugs me.

I get a little bugged when I receive an email message stating "member x" has updated their hack.

I desire to send out the grammar police to investigate this repetitive issue.

I feel "member x"'s hack has been updated would sound more appropriate.

I beleive those are called boogers. :ninja:


This girl sending pictures to my b/f bugs me.

I am more then willing to facilitate your revenge by accepting pics from you and bragging about them to your boyfriend. ;)

The last few days have been bad on this end. My dad's girlfriend is moving into a double wide behind our house (long..long story...). She's in the process of getting everything set-up, and between the state digging up our yard, my dad building her required deck and my grandparents putting up the money things are moving a long quickly (to fast if you ask me ;)).

So like I said the state dug up our yard to run her power and phone lines. They made a mess of the drive way and all the dirt they churned up was wonderful the next morning when we got 2 inches of rain. They also cut my phone line and didn't bother to report it! :mad:

So I call the phone company on my cell phone, my pre-paid cell phone with a limited number of minutes that are worth more than gold. I'm on hold for 15 minutes or so paying $1 a minute to listen to oldies my parents jammed to back in the 70's. At some point I got someone in support, and after spending 5 minutes giving out personal information I explained that my phone line had been cut. Of course before transferring me to repairs and putting me on hold for 15 more minutes this women had to inform me that "Sprint currently offers DSL and DISH Network in your area!". I declined both, mainly because I know I'm too far away for DSL and I already have directv, but this still didn't stop her from keeping me on the line for two more minutes while she explained about how much money I'd be saving (a bold face lie).

So I'm on hold again..

After holding I get someone in repairs, give my info again, and finally have a work order put in for my line. Guy was supposed to show up Thursday at noon but didn't get here until today at 11am. I was without my beloved Internet for four days and I was on the verge of going insane. I am working on a couple of projects and needed to look up some information before I could finish them, my lack of Internet put a lot of stuff on hold for a few days. :(

I did get out of the house some, but ended up spending a lot of money in the process. ;/

O yea, it cost me about $40 in cell phone minutes to have my landline turned back on. :(

Whats the deal with the girlfriend? Sounds like too close to home for a girlfriend, well unless she can cook a mean dinner. ;)

A little secret to save you time, hit ### through the menus of an 800 number and you will get through in no time. I used to work on the vpr systems. Its a backdoor thang. ;)

Being beyond 15k feet of a central office sucks, but honestly dsl sucks anyway. I do feel bad for you being on dial up.....Your internet world is limited and growing....Maybe there will be an alternative soon.

Was wondering where you went....
