Spending a full ten hours at work. Including the time I need to get to work and back home, it'll be 11.5 hours before I get home again.
And I still have to get some groceries, so make that 13 hours, easily.

I hate days that are as busy as this one :indiff:
 
That I have to shop online because the people at the local big box music supply store are utter idiots.
 
The fact that no two shower faucet setups are the same...Either the instructions are incorrect (turn the knob/lever for "C" and get burned, for example) or the sensitivity is minuscule (great...unwanted freeze-out), and doesn't recover soon enough.

Why can't there be a standard for all this nonsense? It's not as if they dispense three different types of water, for Aquarius' sake.
 
When I'm working on my car and I have no problems on an easy project and then when I get to the end I somehow manage to ****ING lose something or something goes wrong.

Second that one.

I spent a full 12 hours (9-9) in my office yesterday doing nothing because my classes were on leave. All day at a computer doing hours which I'm required to do as a full time worker, with no work to do. Those 12 hours don't include the 2 hours of travelling to and from work either.

And that means I am now officially a road hazard

What on earth?

Here's a couple of my own:

- Lazy drivers who hang back all the time and are basically waiting to stop at a red light so they can start texting or doing something else. They're also the same ones who are never concentrating at a red light and when it eventually does go green, they just sit there, completely oblivious to people tooting at them.

- People who leave their cars parked in no parking places overnight and then during peak hour. It doesn't help that it's always on a 4 lane highway I drive on everyday. It's a no parking area for a reason.

- People who have no sense of responsibility, applies to plenty of situations, but quite self explanatory.
 
The army advert saying there is an army career for you when I know there isn't for me due to a medical condition. Its something i would enjoy as a job as well.:grumpy:



OMG.


I'm currently in the process of joining the Navy. And I mentioned something about having childhood asthma, and now they're suddenly on my case. The truth is, I grew out of it years ago. Even if an official letter I got from my doctor saying that I'm perfectly healthy doesn't clear me for testing, I'm screwed out of being admitted. They say that I need medical documents proving my health, but since my asthma has been nonexistent since 2001, I no longer have any medical stuff. I freaking ran track in high school... I'm fine... C'MON!!!

:grumpy: 👎 :mad:
 
Went for a job interview today, hate having to wait at least a day or two to get an answer...
 
Teachers boring me to death by telling us what a computer consists of (like, a mouse and a keyboard and a monitor. You get the idea...). I mean, really?! I know it's just a professional school and not everybody in my line of work works for a company as demanding as a bank, but that's still seriously annoying.

Got my fingers crossed for you!
 
I got gate-raped last week at Heathrow because I forgot to take my belt off. URRGH

"Do you really want to know what grinds my gears?"
"You America!"
"Turnips"
"Apricots"
"The pronunciation of English word by those from India, its a 'tell-a-phone', not a 'tellie-phone'."

The fact that I can't remember now what I wanted to post here on my way home from school.

Also the way that the 10% of traffic that is slow trucks feels the need to take up 3 lanes of a 4 lane expressway.. (Slow truck in the right, just merged on and is speeding up, less slow truck passing slow truck, slow cube van passing less slow truck.)
 
[Quote/] How's your Hindi then? [/Quote] Not good at all :lol: I was referring to telemarketers. In Canada, telemarketers or tech support for US and international companies for the most part are required to speak as if you are speaking in the country that the business is in and without any accents. So they sound as if they work in your country. That is so the YOU'RE STEALING JOBS FROM OUR COUNTRY debate never happens. Then you get these call centers in India for North American companies who don't give a f:censored: if you can't understand them. :mad:
 
New members constantly forgetting that there is a site outside of the GT5 Forum:ouch:

I can only imagine how the mods feel:banghead:
 
The fact that I confused this thread with the 'Show off your latest purchase!' thread and, thus, made that post above :dunce:
 
VANDENAL
YOU'RE STEALING JOBS FROM OUR COUNTRY


So, I suspect you'll be starting at a call centre for 2 dollars an hour now? They're jobs that can't be done in our country because the government wants to tell us how much money per hour is "fair".

I wondered why that pic was here. Thanks for clearing that up.
