Grumpy Old Forumers

Never did care for Nature Calls but Pet Detective is a cult classic that will be reveared and enjoyed by generations to come.

 

I'm a little grump that Ubisoft f*cked with the EAC in Ghost Recon Wildlands so now we can't use a trainer in Story Mode Offline geeze if only they made a Single Player game that doesn't require you to have an internet connection to play.

 

We paid for the game some of us buying the Gold package but yet we're not allowed to play the game the way we'd liked

You're eating noodles and it sounds like you're crunching on peanuts and stop smacking your f*cking lips, you disgusting fool. And stop doing laundry if you're just going to leave them in the washer and dryer for days other f*cking people need to do laundry too.

I'm really grumpy and pissed off, My friend and I had tickets to see comedian Gabriel Iglesias when he was due to come to town, Well due to some health issue Gabriel canceled several shows including ours and we were refunded our money and were promised by the venue that once his show was rebooked we would be e-mailed and given priority and given an opportunity to purchase tickets before they went on sale to the general public.

 

Well I just found out that his show had been rebooked for Dec 30th but I was never e-mailed about this so now unless I want to pay $120 a ticket we won't be going

Doesnt work that way for me,

 

I sleep for 5 or so hours, and the neighbor's kid starts to cry, so his wife starts yelling at him to shut up.

 

That's my alarm clock, even on sundays.

f*ck gumtree

One does not simply say "f*ck [anything]" without going into detail.

[Sombra]

i fill tree holes with wrigleys extra and stick my dick in it

 

nah just selling some stuff on gumtree, fairly priced and adamant about "no offers pickup only" - cue someone offering to swap a 50 quid item for an "11.6g 18 carat gold ring that can be scrapped for 250" or people trying to lowball you instantly even though the no offers part is pretty clear.

I hate when neighborhood kids ride their bikes really close to my car and end up scratching it with their handlebars. I'd hit them if it wouldn't amount to a felony.

[G U M M I]

This, I ain't really mad about, just slightly agitated. So I've been trying to get into contact with my crush for 4 years. Long story short, I get hit with the "I have a boyfriend" message. Now as a Virgo, and me just being myself, paying attention to detail is my 1. Priority. So if your status says you are single, and you really do have a boyfriend, then change the thing. If you are genuinely single, then just leave it single.

 

There's a part of me that didn't believe it, friends have said it could be her friends or "boyfriend" writing that. So I told her, alright, thanks for the heads up. I know when to back off, but as time went by, my suspicions start to rise. So I asked her a question, actually I asked to ask her a question (-_-), as nice as possible. Know what I get in response, 9 hours later?

 

"What"

 

 

When someone types that, and you're a person like me, you don't take that as just replying, you take that as they're already frustrated or annoyed with you. So I didn't even bother replying back. It's in the past now. You can kind of guess what my question was going to be. But I won't bother even talking to you when you say sh*t like that. I'm not going to go on a limb and say "hey I thought she was a nice girl and all" when I barely f*cking knew her, I wanted to know her, but that turned me away right there.

 

I got too much pride, and there's no one in this world I will let step on that.

[Sombra]

move on.

I can't say I've seen somebody's zodiac sign thrown up as personality trait.

[Star-Lord]

^ Man, I thought I had it bad. They're plenty of women out there dyeing to me you, remember that.

 

I'm sort of not mad but bummed out, drank a beer today after not touching the stuff in a couple days, as a result ending up having a major headache. I need to stay the hell away from those fancy cheap beers - all they are is just a tumor in a can. Besides that I'm all smiles, my Internet keeps crapping out every ten minutes fuuucck yoou AT&T U-Verse BS.

[Rhoda]

I've probably moaned about this before in some capacity, but I wanted to elaborate more on what I said about horoscopes earlier. This man here is Russell Grant.

 

 

For some reason or another, he has been providing Britain with horoscope predictions for the best part of 35 years. In 2010, he found a new gravy train to dip his bread into by offering psychic readings for people's pets. He then went on to appear on a reality TV show about ballroom dancing, because it wasn't enough that we saw his face in print. He had to be seen moving. Rhythmically. To music. Awful.

 

Anyway, Russell here has been providing horoscopes for longer than most people on this website have been alive. By now, you'd think he was pretty good at it, right? Unfortunately, I don't believe you can ever really get good at anything that is complete and utter horseradish - you only get good at peddling it. This man (along with countless others up and down the globe) has been duping everyday people into thinking that the stars themselves are somehow telling us that our colleagues are going to be talking about us behind our backs, or that our shampoo is causing the irritation in our pubic hair. I've had this experiment in my head for a while now where for a full month I would look up my daily horoscope and live as close to it as humanely possible to see if I actually benefited from the experience. After looking into it, it turns out I would quickly lose everybody in my life and wind up homeless within about four or five days. This is because as well as having ideas that are stupid, the points of advice given are downright dangerous and anybody who pays even a scrap of sincere attention towards them are doomed.

 

I'll lay my cards on the table here so you don't think I'm being judgmental. There are people out there who actually believe that stars tell them their future. I don't doubt the power of celestial bodies. They were clearly a massive influence on our progression as a species and have inspired countless thoughts. However, this only really applies to practical uses like navigation, not how to deal with Janet at the post office who keeps texting your husband. I can't wrap my head around the idea that this is something people actually invest in. It angers me and I know it shouldn't. There's no place for horoscopes amongst the minds of civilised, well developed, intelligent people in the 21st century.

 

So, back to Russell Grant, a man who looks like he sweats so much in his sleep that he might well get trenchfoot. This man is apparently the key to understanding our future, which is written in the stars. Let's see what he said about my star sign (Cancer) today:

 

 

 

You're ready to be liberated from an oppressive situation. Instead of waiting for someone to rescue you, break free yourself. This is a wonderful time to venture into unfamiliar territory. Leaving a boring job and working with a more progressive company will be lots of fun. You'll be expected to fill in wherever you are needed. Be willing to perform jobs that fall outside of your official title. The more flexible you are, the more appreciated you will be. It also pays to know as many aspects of an industry as possible.

 

Hm. Okay, now I've lost steam. To be fair, this does sound like me. I'm feeling trapped at work, so I am actually in the process of getting a new job. This is the unfamiliar territory. Apparently it will be a fun development, in a work environment that expects more of me? Excellent! This actually speaks to me.

 

That's a shame, because this is actually the horoscope for TAURUS. Not Cancer. Taurus. This is Cancer:

 

 

 

Thinking outside of the box will earn fame and acclaim. You're highly creative. In the past, your employer urged you to blend in with the crowd. Things have changed. People are yearning for something fresh and new. By dispensing with tradition, you'll attract an eager and loyal audience. People will be clamouring for your products and services. If members of staff propose different ways of working, let them experiment. Their productivity will soar. This is no time to stand on ceremony.

 

I really wanted this one to fit me and my life too, because it would strengthen my original point that these are merely cold readings and you could find truth in every single one. As it turns out, not one jot of that is relevant to me at the moment. I have no idea what it could be going on about, and part of me thinks ol' Russell here drank too much and pulled these half-baked cookie-cutter ideas from an annual he threw together in the early 90s in the hope nobody would notice.

 

Horoscopes get my goat. I don't know why. It boils my piss and always has. I think the worst thing to me is people pay actual money for this stuff. This bloke in particular charges £1.50 per minute for a "personal" reading, which is actually not a bad rate for psychics. I've seen rates that are more than double that, and they'll keep you on the phone for as long as possible. Why wouldn't they? It's like dangling a carrot in front of a star-gazing donkey. Don't get me started on psychics either. I don't have the patience to start shooting that barrel of fish.

 

Stay away from horoscopes. Make it up yourself. It's more fun, it's cheaper, and a hell of a lot more flexible.

[Sombra]

I find horoscopes are usually some vaguely relevant sentiment that can apply to most people so if you search up your own month and it somewhat applies to you it seems more believable until you search up every other starsign and realise they're all vaguely relevant sentiments that can apply to most people.

[DOUGL4S1]

Horoscopes just say things that apply to billions of people worldwide and then tell them what to do. Many people are creative and like to think 'outside the box', many people like to take control over most situations, many people like to rebel or protest against stuff, etc.

Edited November 30, 2017 by DOUGL4S1

[Rhoda]

That's the problem. They're so eerily relevant because usually every single one is. What pisses me off is people pay money for this, and then ask for advice from psychics on how to save/make money. It baffles me. I have to give them some credit though, writing these things day after day must be taxing. I know I couldn't think of 12 individual entries every weekday for decades.

 

I know it's something I shouldn't get so angry over. It just haunts me like a bad childhood decision.

[Static]

Also, even if horoscopes had any credibility whatsoever, they'd still be inaccurate as hell due to over a 1000 years of stellar drift since horoscopes were first conceived. So 95% of people who believe in the sh*t, aren't even applying the correct ones to themselves.

[Rhoda]

Maybe that's why Taurus fit so well. I've been following this damn crab.

 

It's not just stars either. Planets like to get in on the action too. It's always Mercury being in retrograde or something. Be more creative, you knobs.

[DOUGL4S1]

"I often see images that are very unclear to me, but they make more sense to you. I sense that you've suffered a personal, material or spiritual loss lately, and you're trying to get back on your feet. I also sense that something has been bothering you lately, and that a very big change is coming your way, related to your family, your job, your house or your love life... Wait, I see that you're also having problems with a friend, co-worker, boss, colleague or family member. Aah, I see an older male figure in your life that wants you to know, that even tho you've had disagreements, he still loves you."

 

No, I don't have psychic powers (that I know of), it's just that Wikipedia has a page on how to make a psychic reading.

 

E: I just love how the page begins with "mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, mediums, illusionists (readers), and other scam artists,"

Edited November 30, 2017 by DOUGL4S1

[Rhoda]

I've been practicing magic as a hobby for about eight years now, and going down the mentalism rabbit hole is an interesting one. You get to learn the methods fairly quickly, though it does take a certain level of charisma to be able to pull it off. I do incorporate one particular cold reading technique into a card trick which always seems to go down better than simply retrieving a lost card.

[Craigsters]

The UPS/Brown carrier delivery guy was super rude to me today, I'm expecting a delivery from Dell and they usually use UPS and this morning the UPS guy came but with empty hands until he could reach the right apartment to deliver too, and he found his client it was a huge bunch of boxes for the avon lady, I held the door open and he wasn't watching what he was doing and some of his boxes almost fell off, I said wow be careful there pushing the fallen boxes back in place, he snapped at me saying don't tell me how to do my Job.

 

Yes I asked him before he buzzed avon if he had anything for 1503 and he said he'd check, but only had boxes or delivery for avon.

I never did believe in horoscopes because for one I'm Pisces, and when a horoscope tells you to drink plenty of water, then you know something is a mock. I'm more of a fortune cookie kind of guy. Last time I ate at a Chinese restaurant my fortune cookie read "Tummy full, happy smile, you're now rich", I said man, this fortune cookie is right on point.

[trip]

@horoscopes - Hear me out. Keep in mind that I'm far from spiritual.

 

The Babylonian calender it is based on has since shifted one star sign thanks to the ever expanding universe since the zodiacs were worked out.

 

I'm can't remember(too lazy to look up) which direction it shifted, but the truth is we are all either one sign before or one sign after the zodiac sign we think we are.

 

But...I'm a Libra. If you read what traits are assigned to a Libra it is very much me. I sure don't fit the description of a Leo or Virgo. I'm a Libra. All the way.

 

 

Sooooo...here is my theory as to why we think we are what the zodiac calender says we are. It has nothing to do with the sun and planets. It has to do with the fact that the human body is mostly water and the moon's tidal force/pull. When our little bodies are developing in our liquid filled mother's bellies the moon is applying its tidal force to us.

 

Tides are different throughout the year based upon our orbit and the moon's orbit around us. The tidal force in January is different than the tidal force in May. Our zodiac signs link up to the Gregorian calendar more than the Babylonian calendar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grumpy? Yes I'm grumpy. I have a weird stressful job.
