Eeep! A mad Noola! ohmy.gif But justifiably so! We ought to make people who have a certain number traffic violations (like that guy surely must have) take the written test again. If they fail, their fault for being an inconsiderate driver pfft.gif

When stuff like that happened when I was a kid, my mom would have me give the people the middle finger and they couldn't flare their horns angerily back at a 10 year old (who looked 8). It was fun, but kind of embarassing.



Yeah. I honestly don't think I'd have been as angry if he hadn't blared his horn at me though. I mean honestly... here he nearly gets me killed and then he's going to act like it was my fault?

Holy censor.gif Noola can curse? I'm so disillusioned.



Omg, you have no idea. Just because I follow the board rules about profanity doesn't mean I don't have a potty mouth. wink.gif And this episode had it working overdrive! laugh.gif

The written test has very little to do with consideration... you can answer the questions, and then go right back to being a bad driver. The written test just evaluates whether you *know* the right answer, not whether you follow the laws.

I wouldn't say the same for my brother-in-law tongue.gif He's so... self-confident ... and forgetful, he'll think he can ace it, and will most likely fail tongue.gif And while I do agree with your point, I think it might help weed out a few bad drivers here and there.

I keep a live duck in my car for exactly these situations.

OMFG, I am so annoyed right now. I had to stop and take a break and come here and rant about it or risk throwing the remote control across the room and breaking it.

I'm trying to watch Kill Bill on DVD and for some stupid reason the subtitles for the Japanese parts aren't coming up. I've tried every way I can think of to turn them on, but they just aren't working. It's so annoying I could scream cause there's a lot of freakin Japanese that needs translating!

I don't know what to do to fix it! crying.gif

No, they just need to revise the terrible driver's license bureau altogether. That **** is so outdated it isn't even funny. They go to such fantastic lengths to make sure you can PARALLEL PARK (which I've used maybe twice in my entire life) but they don't teach you s*** about how to be a GOOD DRIVER.

That means no cell phones, no radio fidgets, no eating, no left turns at roundabouts (I see it all the time.. what is so freaking hard about roundabouts to understand), no idling in the left lane like some downy who thinks he found something no one else has before, no stopping two car lengths before the person in front of you just so you can edge up an inch at a time causing a chain reaction to every single freaking car behind you and slowing everyone else down ultimately..

Ya, I could go on, but I don't feel like it. I hate to be one of those 'America sucks' people but we encourage people to be terrible drivers more than any other country in the world.

I was actually taught to do that, my drivers ed teacher had a fit when I didn't stop half a block away from a stop sign or red light. He'd start putting pressure on his brake when the stopped cars were a distant speck on the horizon, and I'd be like "Man, wtf is wrong with this car" and put more pressure on the gas, and he'd push the brake harder, I'd push the gas harder, etc. Then as we got closer he'd start screaming stuff like "STOP, YOU NEED TWO CAR LENGTHS SO YOU CAN BE SURE YOU HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR". Just goes to show you, don't get in a car with someone named Dr. Bob.

My sister likes to stop two car lengths away because she's convinced that that bit of space will allow her to get away somehow if someone tries to carjack her. laugh.gif

My sister's quite convinced that someone at sometime is going to try to carjack her. I keep telling her that her 2001 Hyndai with a cracked windshield doesn't scream "Jack me, I'm loaded!" but she doesn't care. laugh.gif

I think I tore something in my hip, and mistook it for just being a little sore and tried stretching it out, and now it's really painful to sit or turn my leg any way or to twist it in any direction.

And I'll preempt any pervs with a big NO, THAT'S NOT WHY.

I'm ranting because...

WHAT? tongue.gif Xinemus, you're a forums goon. But I love it.

My general emotional well-being has now gone from happy.gif to cry.gif .

Amazing what an hour can do.


...you know, I think half my posts on these forums are rants of one sort or another. Isn't that sad?

What happened?

I drove 3 and a half hours to a concert to Graz.
I am there, ask at McDonalds where that hall is the concert goes down.
I get told, go out to my car where my girlfriend is waiting and, with her listening, I get to hear that the concert got postponed.
So I had 7 hours drive, wasn't able to learn anything for the exam the next day AND a sad girlfriend.
Next time I'll buy her a dog for her birthday, less troubles. -.-

I work with idiots. And I'm an idiot for doing managerial and secretarial(sp?) work for entry level pay while still on an entry level position after 4 years. And the company cheats me out of my Holiday bonus every censor.gif ing year, by pretending I've been working less years than what's on record, therefore reducing my bonus. I HATE YOU, ANONYMOUS ASIAN GROCERY STORE.

"The only solution" rhymes with "revolution". Stand up, underpaid worker masses! Destroy the oppressive bourgoise! Power to the people!

Now seriously. I feel for you, the situation sounds crappy indeed. But why not apply for a job in a different place then? Or do you have no other choice?

As for Noola swearing, I'm not surprised. It happened with Shiri too - nice guy on the outside, but one day he bursts and creates a post which is made of swear words only. He preemptively censored them, but it still happened. Beware the Nice Ones.

Everything is better with TVTropes.

EDIT: Here is my rant. My brother accidentally broke my favourite mug. It lost the handle and some other fragments are chipped off - I can still drink from it, but it's much less comfortable to use now. I am not angry at him (I am the one who usually breaks stuff - three days ago I broke my family's friggin' CAR), but still... it was my special mug. It even had "Cuber" custom-written on it. sad.gif

Its now 10:20 pm, the night before my group report and presentation is due, and as far as I know, 2 of my 4 group members have yet to submit their part of the paper and powerpoint, so the final report isn't compiled yet, and I wanted to see it before we turned it in, due to them repeatedly showing me they're incapable of doing anything right. I also just finished doing the group homework assignment by myself, for the third time running, because its easier then getting the group to meet early in the morning, having half of them not show up, and the other half not knowing anything. banghead.gif

I hate group work. ranting.gif
