Grumpy Old Forumers

I think ive just realized i have no friends...all those people are f*cking assholes. So f*ck that crap and f*ck new year and this year.

I think everyone goes through the phase of questioning if the people you consider your friends are truly your friends and questioning your criteria for choosing friends as well as what exactly friendship means.

 

Its a part of growing up.

[-Bruce-]

Well whatever it is...it makes the mood go down very easily. Everything goes downhill for me...this year has been just some chicken sh*t.

I hate it when I check my face book and I see all these happy populair partying, while I am at home talking to you guys...

 

BTW in about 1 hour and 11 minutes it is 2012, but whatever...

[anus]

Not trying to generalise here, but from my experience, most of those 'happy, popular, partying' people have their own fair share of problems.

What's exactly stopping you from going out there and enjoying yourself? You don't have to have the networking abilities of a shark to have a good time at a party. Why not organise a party amongst your own group of friends instead of moping about feeling jealous?

Because he's insecure, unsocial, and hates everybody.

Usually I'm that guy, but this year I kind of have a gut feeling telling me not to go out tonight. This will be the first year in maybe four that Ive spent the new years sober. Something is just telling me not to drink tonight...

[Slamman]

I'm grumpy because I just lost a screw, my dear friend forgot to invite me to his Suarez, and earlier, my main Vista Ultimate Hard Drive failed to boot back up, crashing over and over, and I've spent all my ideas in trying to get it back, it just hangs with a mouse pointer (arrow on a black screen), Left it on for hours at a time, the same thing. Booted it in SAFE mode and other F8 options, nothing, the same thing. At the most, it's not rebooting over and over, but I can't salvage any content at present.

 

I'm basically PISSED AS HELL

PC World

Trained by Darth Vader? More like trained by Herbert the special needs hedgehog, that’s why whenever you approach a staff member they roll up in a ball and sob until you and your questions go away. If they’re going to make a big deal about how well trained their staff are then they shouldn’t employ a bunch of goat faced morons who actually go ‘whatever’ and sulk like the little girl they dress up as at weekends when you tell them not to waste their time selling a three year warranty on some printer ink. And I should not have to stand at an empty till and shout for service, I am a rude customer at the best of times, they should be actively doing their best to get me out of there as soon as possible.

As for the moronic wannabe village people tribute act that are their security guards, laughing and telling me that if I walk out with the stuff without paying they’ll bring me back inside is just provocative. I know they get drunk on the kind of power that only a special kind of Jobbyjockey can imagine comes from a walkie talkie but seriously get over yourselves, from a standing start a fishtank could beat them in a 50 yard race so their threats are empty and silly.

As for their expert team, they make Halfords look like a bunch of well trained intelligent staff members who are respectful of their customers. Jar Jar Binks would be far more accurate trainer of the Prickish Clown patrol that are pc world staff

So in summation, never shop at pc world... ever!

Nothing goes right. All that happiness from others disgusts me...cause everything goes wrong for me and me only.

I remember summers colder than this.

My dad went to London for two weeks in 1983 and it rained 9 out of 14 days he was there.

Textbook definition of 'cool story bro'.

Yes, the starving children in poor countries are happy. We should envy them and their happiness.

Seriously though, everyone has problems. Just because they don't whine and actually do something about it doesn't mean that they're happy. Happiness comes from you.

You know what is seriously f*cking stupid?

 

I was at a New Years party last night, and this group of people were all talking in the living room while I stood nearby listening. One of them goes "Hey, guys, go comment on my status on Facebook!" and everybody pulls out their phones.

 

My question is- why the f*ck didn't you just SAY IT TO THEM since they're f*cking STANDING IN THE ROOM WITH YOU??? I mean, people flat out refuse to have normal conversations with people face to face anymore. They would much rather stand next to them and talk back and forth on Facebook with their damn cell phones than look one another in the eye and hear their response in real-time.

 

I cannot get on board with this new phase of society where everybody is so connected and plugged in all the time. Everywhere you go, everybody is touching their phones constantly. I want to throw a party at my house and have everybody who shows up leave their phones in a basket by the front door. A No-Phone Party. That would be bad ass.

[bscutajar]

Facebook makes many people pissed off. I absolutely f*cking hate it when some dumb person tries to act important and deep on Facebook. 90% of all the "friends" I have on Facebook always make a status before they sleep along with some stupid f*cking quote that's supposed to make them look deep and intelligent and is supposed to help us go through our lives. Here are some fine examples:

 

"Believe you can and you're halfway there. Goodnight! "

 

Really? You couldn't come up with anything better? That sh*t is lame and unoriginal. If you think that makes you look intelligent and if you think that is inspiring, well, it might have those effects on other stupid people but anyone with half a brain will get the opposite impression.

 

"Peace begins with a smile! (Mother Teresa) Goodnight "

 

What the f*ck is that quote supposed to say? Peace begins with a smile? Really? You couldn't find a better quote with a deeper meaning? How's that sh*t supposed to help us get through life?

 

"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. (Einstein) HMMMMMM...."

 

This is just classic. The person thinks that posting a quote by Einstein will make them look intelligent or something when they probably don't even get the concept of the quote. They just posted it to impress people. And this quote is posted by someone who spends a week studying a 15 minute subtopic on Maths.

 

I could go on forever with these bullsh*t, unoriginal quotes. Ever night I have to endure this flow of crap in my news feed.

Sorry, but they don't do jack sh*t there... I'm not in this world to help those have choosen that life and now can't handle themselves... I see myself as the only one in the universe, and everything around is just some power from beyond that has made these things that surround me. Someone brought up this subject somewhere, about one person being the only person, and just everything that surrounds him is made up and goes on a track that has been set to be. Or something like that crap...whatever.

I'm really grumpy about this. No snow in Lithuania and still -3, -6 with ice and no snow. God damnit i think i won't see snow for another year.

You think youre unlucky? How about living in Brazil, seriously, in all mans history, there has only been 3-4 occasions in which it has snowed in Brazil. Seriously, WE NEVER EVER GET SNOW, ESPECIALLY IN THE CHRISTMAS TIME, IT f*ckING SUCKS, GO AHEAD AND BRAG ABOUT YOUR SNOW. Seriously, you guys dont know how lucky you guys are.

[anus]

WHY THE f*ck WOULD YOU WORRY ABOUT SNOW WHEN YOU HAVE THEM BOOTYLICIOUS BRAZILIAN CHICKS?

[ToniForelli]

Snow is fun

[Rhoda]

Extremely white whine ahoy.

 

I hate ordering anything in the week leading up to Christmas, or indeed, the week slap bang in the middle between Christmas and new year. Thanks to the bullsh*ttery of the British calendar, today is a bank holiday for no real reason other than we're lazy. Of course, that doesn't apply to me - I don't get the day off automatically, nor do I get any extra pay. Back to my original point, anything I've bought for myself won't come until at least tomorrow or the 4th. It wouldn't have gotten here on the 26th because it's Boxing Day, and it wouldn't have arrived on the 27th because that's also a bank holiday. You can forget about 28th and 29th because there's no point delivering anything then, and the 30th is really just preparation for new years eve so I won't get anything delivered then. I've been waiting on important letters and documents (as well as more materialistic packages) for nigh on 10 days now thanks to the uselessness of the UK postal service.

Sony. Most importantly the ereaders. My mum has an issue with the fact that A, you can't read any in bed since they have zero back light, B they aren't touch screen. So you know, we looked at this Sony one and saw it was touch screen and although it didn't have a back light the touch feature made up for it (shes so used to her Iphone now) Long story short, we get this for £125, instead of the Kindle.

 

Unpacked it, got it going spent the next hour and a half trying to figure out how the f*ck you buy books and get them onto the actual reader. It never mentioned once the fact you need software to be able to use this on the PC (we thought Kodo was the programme at first after looking on WHSmith to buy a book) long story short I got annoyed and decided to google sh*t. 2 minutes later we are told that you need a Sony programme. No mention of how to get a book onto the machine. Install said software onto PC. Find out that we need to update said Ereader before even trying to figure out the book part.

 

The most bullsh*t point about this Sony sh*t? Their dedicated book store has been delayed 3 f*cking times since October and isn't still open for use from the actual Ereader. Which makes wifi pretty much redundant since you need a PC.

 

Long story short, f*ck you Sony for having zero instructions on how to actually use this Ereader once you find that this book store is still not open. Annoying because they don't even mention in the quick set up that you will need another programme to run on the PC for you to even get to download books.

 

 

Moral of the story? Pay £89 for a Kindle. That's what we are going to do tomorrow while returning said Sony product.

[anus]

£125 for a f*cking e-reader?

 

Holy Moses, what a waste. I'd have just got a good app for the iPhone/Android (if you have one) for much less.

[Rebel]

Its not a waste, since we can return it. Only bought it today and have everything for it and receipt. I don't see the point in getting those apps for a phone. Screens smaller than a damn book, I thought we were meant to go forward in technology not back Going to be getting a kindle tomorrow anyway, see how that pans out.

[anus]

I just never got the whole e-reader thing. I was honestly shocked when I first discovered the Kindle, how expensive it was and how much it sold. E-readers as a whole always seemed like a huge waste to me.

Why is that? They are incredibly convenient they save space and money in the long run and I actually think it feels better than reading a book.

[anus]

Mostly because I'd be just as satisfied with using an app on a good Android phone.

 

I'm one of those people who prefers all-in-one devices more. Though I would still get a camera for pics/video, an MP3 player for music and a watch for time if I had the cash.

A lot of other e-reader apps out there don't include access to an online library where more books can be purchased like the Kindle does. For the majority of people who would use a device with that sort of function, they want to be able to buy new books. I've used one or two e-readers on my phone and they either include a bunk ass list of "classics" that nobody wants to read (again), or they have no books at all.

I understand where you coming from, but for me reading on the screen of an iPod is torture and I can't do it for more than ten minutes. The E ink screen that the kindle has looks very much like a real book and I have no problem reading for extended periods.

[Jeeebuuus]

Call me old fashon, and I'm sure you will, but I enjoy holding a book. Turning the pages by hand. Collecting them on the shelf and admiring their physical presence. I understand if you travel alot and can store these works on your electronic device to read them; that is a good step forward. But...
