Grumpy Old Forumers

I just noticed: A forum about GTA doesn't have an option to type in GTA's most iconic font, Pricedown.

 

Literally unusable. :P

You can use the font on Photoshop with a transparent background, but seems silly.

It's not pre-installed on the forum software, but you can use it.  It would depend on the end user having it installed on their local machine.

 

If you've got it installed then this sentence will be in Pricedown

 

To do this, it's the old school method of...

Some video reactions were cool and funny back in the day, but now is an annoying plague.

I never should’ve introduced my youngest to Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory because now it’s her FAVORITE movie so much so she watches it everyday sometimes twice a day.

 

I know every word & song in the whole movie.now

 

She’s seen Charlie & The Chocolate Factory but Johnny Depp as Wonka scares her but she likes the movie so I’d introduce her to the original one now I’m regretting it.

 

My eldest even tried to bribe her sister $20 and a skirt if she’d stop watching it every day

Today is another f*cking year waiting a response and don't show up in 6 years... cursed by the time between a line of love and hate with frustating memories.

God I hate this country.

Why not hop on a boat across the Mediterranean, there's always one leaving for Italy or Malta. And if the boat breaks down some kindly German will rescue you.

 

...Sorry, bad taste joke. Hope your mother gets through the whole thing ok.

It's crazy... isn't it?

 

All those things you though you were (or would be) exempt from when it comes to getting older...you aren't.

 

 

Here is a warning to all of you under 40.  It's true - when you hit your 40s all your sh*t falls apart.  You think it won't, but guess what? It will happen.

Get the tweezers out and pluck them clean out.

 

And Trip's right, getting old is when you wake up sore cause you slept funny.

Tempur-Pedic for the win on that one. I have a king-size one and it's like sleeping on a damn cloud.

I expel you and the fear that binds me.

I decided to turn on my PS3 again to play GTA: Vice City Stories and download some other games, only to be faced by the horrible download list on PS3, it's a complete nightmare trying to find something there.

First Firefox and now Google Chrome is bugging out, Opera seems to be the only option.

Chrome needs to lay off and stop giving me ads I give less of a damn about. It's kinda annoying while browings sites, other forums and here at GTAF when the ad blocks almost the whole view and has nothing to do on my recent searches. But even worse, Samsung internet has hit a low point giving me useless f*cking ads that pop out nowhere shoving thai recipes up my ass along with trips to asia like I give a flying sh*t. And the best of all it's seems like you can't disable any of this in the settings. It's crap like this why don't like to update things but yet the f*cker updates by itself....

Try Chromium. It's Chrome but with all the bloatware taken out.

I switched from Opera to Vivaldi some months back. I was a dogged defender of Opera but a few things ticked me off, things I can't even remember but I don't miss it.

 

If a moan is mandatory, I've had a rotten cold for about four days now. Nothing all that interesting or enlightening, it's just making me miserable. I hate how things feel twice as difficult when you're unwell. I tried putting my socks on this morning and nearly broke a rib.

Waited 30 minutes to be attended... bad service.

tfw someone harps on at you for constantly bailing on plans which you never bailed on as they didn't respond on said day, you finally make plans for a specific day and reassure them a million times you wont bail, the day comes around and you wake up early, get ready and they tell you they'll be ready soon and it slowly gets later and later and they eventually ghost you from 4pm to 10pm and give you the excuse that they got "carried away binge watching Netflix". Cue to a few days later, they know you've been out all day and they randomly hit you up when you're on the train home to go out for a drink and they get pissy as f*ck because you decline? I ain't particularly bothered about them bailing, it's just f*cking annoying when they make a big deal out of you "bailing" and then they make you waste a day waiting for them, and then get pissy when they expect you to drop everything and go out with them without any prior warning or planning.

 

how the f*ck do women work

Again, another f*cking delay DHL, motherf*ckers.

Is it just my dysfunctional head or was this topic once called "Grumpy old forum members"?

 

But actually I would like to know who is considered "old forum member". Long term registration or simply an old guy?

 

With an age over the mid-thirties and nine years resgistration I am probably at least "o l d" in the first place, huh?

 

Well, looking at my birthdate makes me kind of grumpy sometimes. A little. Very little. Almost like zero grumpy but not directly zero you know.

 

 

[Crokey]

Always been Grumpy Old Forumers, and you don't have to be old chronologically or old in membership, you just have to be old and grumpy in mindset.

This explanation makes me feel really old.

The fuel pump I just got put on for my Buick just died when I was in the middle of delivering pizzas and I’m so irate I want to throw up all over my kitchen

One of my sellers trying to make excuses because he forgot to test the product he send me and have a factory defect, f*cking liar.

Thought I had some good friends but after tonight I'm not so sure. Feels like myself and two friends of mine have been ghosted and not thought of 

 

some other friends of mine got invited to a dinner night out including 1 best friend of mine, two of my other best-friends and myself didn't even get an invite even through we get along with the guy whose social outing it is. Those of us that didn't get invited had an small argument on discord with said friend whose behind the outing, he didn't have much to say, other friends there said we could join. It's literally 10PM at this point. way too late for us to show and one of my best friends who didn't get invited said "X best friend that went told us last minuet he was going to this but we thought it'll be rude of us to show up uninvited" 

 

Thanks for thinking about us

I was near to buy a new power supply, but there was a f*cking small piece messing around with the desktop screen to turn on.

Why does every news station insist on 20 minutes of weather? Do we really need a 5 minute report at the start of the news cast followed by a drawn out 10-minutes forecast basically repeating what was said in the first 5 minute report minus 7 day forecast and then another 5 minute recap near the end so some stations spend more time on weather reports than actual news

 

if it was me my report would be.... Its gonna be 85 and rainy tmrw take an umbrella back to you Tom short but sweet

If you bought it on eBay or used PayPal to pay for it fine a claim it’ll force him to give you a new one or loose money as he committed fraud by sending you a known defective product.

 

eBay & PayPal are good about buyer protection and making the seller make it right or refund your money I’ve had issue before where I was buying a “New Never Opened” product only to receive it and could clearly tell it was repacked and the product inside clearly used

 

Seller refused to acknowledge this so I sent eBay a dispute with video showing the bad repacking job and of me opening the box and pulling out the item that was dirty ect

 

eBay refunded me, I like PayPal version because they take the money  away from the seller while eBay just pays it themselves (at least I think they do)

It was a website like eBay, and they use the same system payment rules.

 

I got a refund, and he said to me to keep the products to not do future deals after many mistakes he did as delayed shipment, lack of another product, defective product, not knowing how to solve the problem and trying to waste more time in many ways, etc.
