Ahh, the elipsis..............

Fuckin SWEET!!!!!!

..........

You know, Smo, when watching subtitled Ninja movies, the ninja's dialogue will be "...." 9 times out of 10......

On a similar note, does anyone get sorta ticked off at certain fonts??? there's this one newspaper in my area and the font they use to print the daily "shock" headline ALWAYS pisses me off in some odd way....

Oh, and a BIG one..... when some demented person has like 20 lottery tickets and is REALLY confused and keeps mumbling and handing the same tickets back to the cashier and stuff cos they wanna get them all "checked" and all that shit and you're standing there with a one dollar bag of fucking sponges or some shit and it takes fucking forever to get all the tickets scanned, make the payoff then wait while the "customer" hems and haws about which tickets they now require...... I figure, if you can't check out your #'s yourself, mebbe you should leave the game to the slightly competent, or at least the store could make some rules about number of tickets one could do this with or something.... I know it isn't the end of the world but it can be really annoying

Why wouldn't the cashier shit bin the ones that don't pan out? These people want reminders of their money wasted? Fuck me, I'd snap too. "Excuse me, can you get the fuck out of the way for 10 seconds you old bat/bastard, so I can buy my shitty bag of fucking sponges?" That easy, man. That easy.

My pet peeve is not getting enough sleep. If I get woken up "before my time", Im not happy. I live a sleep deprived life (shiftwork plus 2 small kids = perpetually tired) so I don't want to get up one second early. My acute coffee dependency frustrates me as well.

I feel your pain brother. Kids constantly bargingin while I'm trying to sleep. Can I have cereal?, can I have gum? Shut the fuck up and get out is what I tell em. Wake me again and its on your bed until I decide to let you up. Guess what? 5 minutes later there back. And then they cry when you actually follow through with the punishment.

At my house the parents sleep downstairs and the kids upstairs. When Im sleeping during the day for night shifts, it sounds like a fucking rodeo up there. I use the bathroom fan just to drown out the noise.

I work midnights. I enjoy my 10 hour paid break from home.. not that home is bad. Sleep however I find I can do without sometimes. Its over-rated. When I get home in the moring from a hard night of viewing different forums I have a big ol glass of chocolate milk, put the blanket over the window ( (my) blinds suck ass ) and fall so ever alseep until the kid gets home from school. about the only thing that kills is when I forget to remove the phone from the room. I live with the inlaws ( insert SCRUB text here ) and twice a week they watch my bro-in laws kids. along with a few dogs.. yeah.. sleep? who needs sleep.

I normally keep the THC level in my body at 87% this helps aid in my sleep.

okie.. back to the credit card. WHY?

lets go back to targe' and me buying and fucking extension cord, and two, yes two fucking plug adapters.. Ill say a total of $11. I need to see your ID sir. yeah, whatever, here. I cannot see the signature, could you please show me the signature sir? .. okie.. why? WHY WOULD I RIP OFF TARGET BY STEALING FUCKING PLUG ADAPTERS!?!?

ok.. cool down. ( to wife - hey, they had one of those cd racks, but I didnt have the cash.. - ( wife - thats great, heres my bankcard, please go back and pick it up )

back to target, now with a $40 cd rack - uses wifes card.. no questions, thank you sir, have a great day.

WTF? I guess I dont get why I get carded for the lil stupid piddly shit. WHO STEALS THAT CRAP?!

GAH!

The guy in front of you in the parking ramp with his blinker on waiting for the fat lady with three kids to put her little brats into the car, buckle them all in, fold up the stroller, trying shoving it four different ways into the back of her SUV, maybe smoke a cigarette and talk on her cell phone a little... all with no discernible sense of urgency because DRIVING PAST HER AND FINDING AN EMPTY SPOT on the next level will add those oh so important life changing 30 seconds to your life, that, wait, you've already wasted sitting here waiting for this spot. You are both fucking assholes.

Sometimes I just sit in my car on purpose just so they have to wait. I hate that with a passion when they seem me walk to my truck then just wait. I've also been known to get in my truck, wait for a couple of seconds, then get out and walk back towards the store. When they leave the wait I then turn around and go back to my truck.

I also love when they wait for a spot and I got around them, park, then walk past them and they're STILL waiting.

Yesterday, I drove to the local Mexican takeout place for some carne asada nachos and a burrito. We couldn't find the menu to call it in, so I had to go, order, and wait. No biggie.

There are two guys in front of me, probably in their late 30s, who cannot decide what they want. And they keep flirting with the teenaged cashier (who was decidedly not hot). They keep going back and forth, asking obviously fake questions about food, going back and forth with each other over what they want. And they keep mentioning fish tacos as if it's the funniest thing in the world, and asking if it's tuna on the taco, and the girl has no clue what they're talking about. And the cashier hasn't got the fucking sense to tell them to hurry their asses up, though she doesn't seem particularly amused.

So they decide. And they order. Then they change their order. Then one of them says, "I'd better find out what she wants!" and gets on a cell phone in the middle of his fucking order and has a conversation with some lady about what's on the various burritos before ordering more.

When all was said and done, I had to wait in line for about five minutes. They'd been the only other two customers there, but there was a line out the door by the time they were done. They ended up ordering about $60 worth of takeout food. Thankfully, the kitchen didn't seem to see them as a priority, so several other people, myself included, got our food first.

I don't really have a specific story, but when people chew with their fuckin' mouths open, it makes me wanna go through the roof. Mainly it's that goddamn smacking sound. Are you making out with your fucking sandwich? Shut the fuck UP.

Also, in the same vein, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? makes me want to kill myself. Pretentious kids and retards, my two favorite things.

I just fuckin hate 99.7% of people.

I want to kill the ashats that have those walkie talkie "chirp" cell phones.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR LAME-ASS CONVERSATION, YOU USELESS FUCK!!!

Also, I hate white people.

Back to the credit card thing...

It's insane how different business deal with them differently.

I go to a gas station and do the pay-at-the-pump thing, because I hate dealing with fucktards inside, and the employees inside generally are fucktards without compare.

Invariably, one of three things will happen.

1) The terminal will say that, for security reasons, I have to enter my zip code. So I do. And it's not obscured or anything, just popped up there for all to see. Did it ever fucking occur to you dumbasses that I know my own zip code, but the huge galoot behind me with a tire iron now does too?

2) The terminal will tell me that I need to go inside. When inside, I'll make an offhand remark about the terminal being broken and telling me to go in. The dumbass inbred retard will tell me that's standard procedure with credit card sales. Well, fuck! Why did you give me the illusion of having the ability to avoid your dumb ass? I would've gone across the street and paid an extra penny per gallon to save myself the hassle.

3) The terminal is out of paper. Silly me likes to keep a record of my transactions. Why would I want a receipt? It's more fun to guess the total amount later! So I get to go in and stand behind all the people who are waiting to purchase coffee just to get a receipt, and the cashier always already knows it's out of paper, but still acts like it's a huge inconvenience to him to give me a record of my transaction. Fuck you. I pay your salary, and I don't mean that in the offhand manner.

Opposite side of the spectrum, at Target, I stick it in the machine, they never ask to even see it, no matter how large or small the purchase is. It being the credit card. I really should clarify that.

And--this one really gets me--I bought some fertilizer at Home Depot a few days ago. The lines were hella long, so I went to the self checkout line. I scan my card, and it prints the receipt. No signature. I ask the lady who's there, pretending to care, and it's apparently now company policy that I don't have to sign for purchases under $50.

My wife says Starbucks is the same way. (Me, I don't pay $5 for a fucking cup of coffee I can make myself for free.)

WTF? I know if might be a minor hassle to have to sign your receipt, but come the fuck on! I'm using a self-checkout terminal at a store where they know that the employee paid to stand there isn't paying a fucking bit of attention (not singling out this lady, but they never do), buying something that can be used in the manufacture of explosives, and you need no proof that I am who I say I am?

Dude, that's fucked up.

Oh, here's a new one.

I log into my free web e-mail. As always, it's covered with banner ads. Apparently one of the ads is a broken link, and my inbox flashes for one brief split second before I'm taken to a page telling me that adserv.whatthefuck.whocares.com/stupidfuckingad can't be found.

Come on, Hotmail. Do you really fucking think I, or anyone else, ever clicks on those ads?

I swear, if so many people didn't still send me shit there, I'd have gotten rid of that fucking account the minute Microsoft took over.

Brings up a recent one for me, also free webmail- my fucking yahoo account is fucking broken somehows and I can't seem to fix it no matter what- all my addresses are fine, as are the "nicknames" (the ones you type in the "to" filed that will automatically fill in the actual address for ya, just in case anyones unawares) BUT whenever I try to use said "conveniently stored for quicxk automatic reference" nickmnames, the stupid fucker gives me a "you MUST fill in a valid e-mail address" warning- so then I get to GO THROUGH LIKE 3 FUCKING PAGE LOADS just to get one address, then another to re-compose the damn message, FUCK it is annoying and I have no clue what to do about it

And them ADS fuck man, I know that Chux fellow elsewheres has complaind about flash heavy shit, but for some reason the ads on free webmail are ALWAYS the most intrusive browser-fucks of ALL on my machine- fancy cursors, trailing elements within the ad itself, all that goofy bullshit, it sometimes actually makes my entire browser fuck up and crash- you sure do get what you pay for eh???

Fucking bullshit
