You know what really grinds my gears?

When people say that Up is a dirty piece of crap! :imp:

My tooth hurts a lot right now. Makes me feel like not giving concerns about making quality posts. :confused:

I totally agree! :imp:

Without a doubt! :imp:

When people diss 2-D animated masterpieces, as well as Pixar films. I know, I know, I’ve mentioned it before.

Also when people tease about how two people are a couple just because they’re opposite genders and are aquaintances/friends. :imp: Just because a lot of movies work out that way (cliche plotline) doesn’t mean real it HAS to be that way. It’s plain annoying! People CAN be just friends! OMG what is with people and just insisting that there must be a romantic relationship?

Point have you. Not every male-female relationship is non-platonic.

This is what really grinds my gears. Here I am, in my room, posting on my favorite forum. Meanwhile, next door, someone is holding either a quincineara or a graduation party. They’re playing music right now. I don’t mind loud music, but when I am hearing Kiss Me Through the Phone and I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho) about five times, that really wants to make me grab my nearest phone book and toss it at the DJ’s head. I hope you bleed slightly, you man of bad taste.

What annoys me right now is how I kept on waking up in the evening and ended up staying away all the way till the morning/noon - before sleeping all the way till the evening again. :-\ This isn’t a big problem as the end of the holidays is a while away. The issue is that I can’t find anything to eat during these all-nighters and ended up starving half of the times, nor could I just go out and buy any food because it is the wee hours of the morning. :(

I gotta get my sleep cycle back to normal again, especially when the next school term approaches. And my tooth still hurts.

I’ve changed my avvie and siggy numerous times without getting a single comment on them before. Really, it’s not a big deal. :roll: A couple weeks ago I wore an avvie with a really sweet piece of artwork on it by an extremely [url=http://www.bechnokid.deviantart.com/:3nav5uf5]talented artist[/url:3nav5uf5] on deviantART and never got a single comment on it. I just simply changed it after a while after I got bored of it.

Some things you just don’t have to make a big deal about, is all I’m trying to say. :P

What really grinds my gears right now is now more than ever, I need a tablet, and I don’t have enough money to get one. Everyone who lives here is basically poor and I know I won’t get a lot of money for graduation (not to sound whiny or anything - I’m not, it’s just a concern of mine). So yeah… I would really love to have a tablet right now, but it’s just not in the cards at this time. :roll: sigh

The funny thing is, I had to check when I made that post. :P It seemed like something that came outta my dream. :lol:

And, yeah, sorry to hear about the financial issue. Maybe a scholarship would help? :-(

Yeah, that advice probably doesn’t help much, but, er… chin up? :D

POR QUE? :imp:

As Stewie would say (okay, not really), “The garlic must die”. It’s a pain to peel it and the smell stays on your hand for hours. Pre-chopped garlic for me now.

What annoys me right now is that I’ve spent my lunch money for today on a Big Mac meal upsized, and now I don’t have any money to eat for the rest of the day - and it’s 9 in the morning. Maybe I could try and get some sleep or something and wake up at 7 in the night again.

Also, the ‘View Newest Post’ orange icon won’t go away at random times, even after I’ve viewed the threads. I have to go and ‘mark the topics read’ myself which is as uber annoying as seeing that orange little shape everywhere.

Also, I kinda yelled at my mum early morning just now, at about 2 AM or earlier. She didn’t want to cook instant noodles for me (my family practically has nothing good to eat, we are easily comparable to hobos) but she didn’t wanted to, probably because she was tired or something. But, I’m just stubborn like that, especially when I’m not that close with the folks, especially with my dad. I could like, tell me friend that he’s a p**** without feeling guilty or something. I’ll just get worried that I’ll get struck by a bolt of lightning or something.

But, anyway, so she asked me if I wanted another food (I don’t know what it’s called in English, but it’s like meat wrapped in yellow dyed dough). I don’t really like to eat that a lot (I’m uber picky when it comes to food), so I kinda raised my voice a little. I do this a lot with my mum from time to time, so I kinda got used to it. But, I do try and refrain from doing that, especially when I’m not in a foul mood. Something in the forums jabbed my mood just now. Don’t want to say what it is.

Yeah, yelling at my mum don’t really annoy me, but just gets me kinda worried that I might get in more trouble from her later on or something (she’s quite tempered herself, too, and she won’t show it at first - scary). Not that I care. I’ve been taking crap from a lot of people my whole life. What’s my mum compared to them? Bring it on, mother.

Dragon of Omnipotency- I know what you mean about the little icon saying that certain threads haven’t been read yet on here, though I have the opposite problem, as sometimes when I come on here they seem to all have disappeared so I can’t tell which threads have been replied to since I last came on here. Very annoying!

And as for having a little argument with your mother, I know how that feels. It doesn’t seem like it most of the time, but I too can be a bit short-tempered and she knows how to annoy me. :laughing: But we tend to make up soon afterwards just because she’s so small and sweet and I can’t stay annoyed at her! Though in this case, couldn’t you have made the noodles yourself? It just seems that the argument could’ve been avoided. What I do when it comes to food is I’ll do a few odd jobs like the washing up or I’ll make my mum a cup of tea and so I don’t feel as bad when she has to cook for me. :laughing:

Yeah, I know, but if you didn’t notice, I’m very lazy. :blush: Add that with my bad relationship with my parents, and you get a recipe for disaster.

In the late morning after I made that post (about 7-8 AM), we kinda made up, too, talking to each other nicely like nothing has happened. She just asked me if I was hungry when I walked up to her in a sheepish manner, and then gave me my lunch money for the day (even though I thought she had already did that…). It’s a common thing for us. Shout at her. Mum go complain to dad. Talk to each other the next day like nothing’s happened.

Now, at this very moment, my dad’s the one who’s annoying me. He’s threatening to cancel my Internet subscription. God, I hate him. I hate this family. I just want to run away and never come back. I would do so if I am capable of supporting myself, but no; I’m stuck living in this crap-hole.

Die in a fire, folks.

P.S.: Unlike most of you, people like me have real problems with my parents. At least you talk to your parents normally. I barely talk to my parents at all, especially towards my prickly father. What a crick. I hate him so much.

Dragon sorry to hear that dude, my dad hasn’t been the greatest guy to live with, but he’s pretty much turned into a vegetable, and feels like if he says ANYTHING, it’s gonna screw something up. He’s all submissive now, and acts kinda weird, but he’s lightened up. If my mom wasn’t so strong, I’d probably be living on her side of a divorce. Just try to think about your friends and the good things in life, (like Pixar :slight_smile: )

As for me, said frustrations from father get at me from time to time, but my biggest pet peeve is dealing with idiotic teenagers at work. There’s that, and the drama between the employees at work. It’s amazing how important things like re-making drinks can make a person LOSE THEIR SANITY. (I work at a Sonic Drive-In btw) Also, when a group of people start taking shots at me, whether it’s sarcasm or not, It pushes my buttons REALLY hard.

I’ve had a lot of problems with that through school, so getting made fun of is a but more impactful on me. I’ve always been a socially awkward person, so it’s difficult for me to find great friends (but I’ve got a group of great friends from college now :smiley: )

Sorry to hear about your parents’ divorce, ffdude1906. I hope you don’t mind me when I wrote I’m the one who has the real parents problems. I just felt that way at the time. Everyone just seems so happy while I’m faced with frustrations, anger, hatred and loneliness everyday. It’s an agonizing war called “life.”

I would think about my friends, if they are worthy of my thoughts. None of my friends care that much about me or are very close towards me. My closest one is having his own parent problems right now, supposedly, as he told me. I don’t know whether to trust him or not. He’s using that as an excuse for rejecting my calls and, thus, avoiding me the whole of last week. It’s been like this ever since we were first friends three years ago, and it’s still like this now, so I’m used to it, sort of. I still feel the paranoia sometimes, though. Sigh

Hehe, I didn’t say I was in a divorce, I’m said I probably would be if my mom wasn’t so strong. She managed to get my dad into a spot where he doesn’t act like such a jerk all the time. He kept having issues with stuff like, if someone TOUCHES anything of his, he’d flip his lid. He once lectured the entire family because he couldn’t find a pen. Not an expensive collectors pen or anything, just a normal everyday pen that you can buy in like 20 packs. Totally nuts.

And I’m sorry to hear about your friend situation. It’s really tough to find friends that mean a lot, I know. Hopefully once college gets rolling again, you can meet some people with the same interests and can relate well with you. My first year of college was the best social situation I’ve been in in my entire life. I was an odd man out during k-12, so I know what it’s like to be isolated. Just keep your head up. If you need to vent, you’ve got an entire community here :slight_smile:

lol Everyone here still thinks that college has not started for me yet. It’s been ongoing for 5 months, people. :stuck_out_tongue:

My dad used to be short of temper, too. He had even consume large amount of alcohol and smoked a lot of cigarettes back then. He doesn’t drink or smoke since a few years ago (about 4 to 6 years ago), and his temper has greatly decreased nowadays. Back then, when I was a child, he would whip me with either that kind of thin, bamboo cane sold in groceries store for parents to beat their child with, or, if the occasion calls for it, he would use his own belt.

Corporal punishment is very common here in Singapore. You get caned (with a much larger, thicker cane) in school, too, if you break the rules.

Oh, I know, and I plan to use you guys to my advantage in good time. :smiling_imp: Kidding. :laughing:

~ Flare

Wow, stuff like that would get someone arrested stateside. I’ve been blessed enough to not have to deal with smoking, and not too much drinking. I was raised with a great moral compass, and I have a strong will for abstinence, not drinking, not doing drugs, etc. I’m really proud of it, and it’s really hard to meet someone like that nowadays.

Physical discipline is probably the worst possible way to handle a situation in my opinion, I absolutely hate it. I had to deal with some of that as well (my dad had the wonderful Mr. Board,…) so I can relate, a bit. Policies about that kind of thing are much thinner over where you are, so I still can’t fully realize what it’s like. It’s still good that you’re into something wholesome and rich as Pixar though, that’s pretty cool with the apparent strife you’ve been through.

As for college, all I can say is give it time. It took about half the year for me to really start hanging out with my friends, but they’ve become the best friends ever.

A little boastful much, don’t you think? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m someone like that. Heck, I don’t even drink. Ever. Well, maybe just a dip of alcohol on my tongue back when dad was still drinking. I was curious about its taste. After knowing its bitter nature, I never tasted alcohol ever again, even though my younger friends all tell me that I’m eligible to buy beer/cigarettes for them.

Of course, I never did.
