I ordered a thing off eBay (for a third of the price of buying it in a shop) because I'm too lazy and too much of a shut-in to go to the store and buy the same product and now I have to wait 2-3 days for it to arrive even though it is in no way time-sensitive or terribly important

DrBouvenstein posted:Same here. Urgh, my wife does the same bullshit song and dance routine. She's always been a heavy smoker but every six months or so she decides to quit cold turkey which lasts for about two days before the nicotine cravings kick her rear end so she scales back to deciding to 'cut down' on her smoking. So she says she'll smoke X cigarettes a day until the pack runs out but then on the fourth or fifth day there's only Y smokes left in the pack so she's gotta buy a new pack to bring the number back up to X which then means she's compelled to smoke the rest of the second pack. Or she has a 'bad day' and is 'stressed' which means she needs to smoke half a pack or some other dumb, lovely reason why she can't quit and it's like, goddamn, I don't like that you're smoking yourself to death but just loving own it, admit you're a filthy addict and smoke as many damned cigarettes as you want instead of this dumb thing of pretending to try and quit and pretending to care about your health. gently caress. Current FWP: decided to try and take control of my credit card debt by getting a loan for the amount I owe on my card so I can pay off the balance without the interest eating half my repayments and only got approved for a loan less than 20% of what I owe on my card

). And since then she's bought another pack because she was out drinking with a friend, and she smokes, so of course she had to buy a pack to smoke with her, and then of course finish that pack throughout the week.

My wife posted a grumpy-faced selfie on instagram and I left a comment on it saying how excited she looked to be at work and one of her crazy friends replied to my comment by telling me to gently caress off. I know she's just trying to bait me into a pointless flame war because apparently that's how she enjoys spending her time but what the hell, man? I'm too old to deal with this poo poo. e - also I need to staple a ton of invoices at work today but every time I squeeze the stapler my finger hurts so I have to use the flat of my hand to press down on the stapler and it's really awkward and annoying and just ugh, I can't even right now.

It's Friday night, I've had a few drinks and I've decided that I want to watch some wrestling so I have to go to the WWE website and reactivate my Network subscription, then I turn on my PS3 but I can't open the WWE app until I do a system update which means I need to reconfigure my wireless network settings. But my router was slightly out of range so I had to physically move it closer to the PlayStation. Then after the system update installed I had to change my PSN password and now the goddamn WWE app is updating. I just wanted to watch Wrestlemania while I had a buzz going

Crow Jane posted:My bf is 6'2, maybe 165 lbs, snacks like there's no tomorrow and never gains weight. I'm insanely jealous, but like you, kinda grossed out. Watching him get the munchies when we smoke is like watching a nature documentary about some creature that'll die if it stops eating for more than sixty seconds. My ex was like that. She'd eat, like, two thousand calories in a meal then pass out on the couch and nap for an hour or so, wake up and eat another pile of junk then fall back asleep. She would often not remember having had a mid-nap meal

It'll even save me over $1000 a month. But gently caress if I don't hate moving with a passion! It's only 6km away from where I'm living now, so not far enough away to justify hiring movers. Hire movers. If you don't you will hate yourself and it will be way more work than you initially think it's going to be.

The idea is that if they use coffee pods there will always be consistency with the quality / presentation of the coffee without having to have a barista on staff at all times or without having to train their waiters or kitchen staff to reliably operate an espresso machine. They take a slight reduction in quality in order to have an overall better experience for the customer. edit - further reading

Cowslips Warren posted:My new phone case does not have a glass cover for the screen. The gently caress is the point, case! Your phone screen will not shatter unless you hurl it bodily onto a hard floor. Don't stress, embrace the future, enjoy your new phone. In the unlikely event that your phone screen becomes cracked you can get it fixed for a small fee. Everything will be alright.

Tiggum posted:I've had the same mobile phone plan for years. It only includes calls and texts, but it's ridiculously cheap. I'd never get rid of it, but it's being discontinued, so now I have to look at mobile phone plans and I'll probably end up paying more and not even using the extra features (internet, MMS, whatever). And worse than the extra cost is the having to research what's available, figure out what the best option is, and deal with phone companies. And I'm assuming probably change my phone number too, if the company I'm with now isn't the one I end up choosing. Go with Amaysim. They're stupid cheap and you can keep your current number.

When I'm at home I can quite happily have breakfast then not eat until late afternoon, it's weird.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I have Indian neighbors that pretty regularly cook dinners that smell absolutely goddamned fantastic but I'm too much of a reclusive programmer type to actually ask about what it is and how they make it. There's a store that specializes in Indian food not far away but it isn't near anything else I ever have to go to so I'd be going out of my way. I could probably go there to ask about Indian food but I also get the feeling that it's going to be full of stuff I'm allergic to. Another first world problem is that there's like a bajillion Thai restaurants here and what little Thai food I've tried was so, so good but my allergies caused problems. Luckily for you there were recently some very good and informative posts in the cooking forum about how to make restaurant-quality Indian food! http://goonswithspoons.com/Tikka_chilli_balti http://goonswithspoons.com/Saag_aloo

It's 8:15 on a Friday night and my neighbour is mowing his lawn. Why is he doing this? It's practically dark outside and it's been raining all evening. I can't imagine a scenario where he couldn't have waited till tomorrow morning. I'm trying to post some videos to instagram and they're taking forever and I don't know if it's my internet connection or instagram itself causing the slow down. My friend and I are having a big combined birthday party next weekend and I really don't feel like having a crazy bender but I don't want to be the buzzkill sober guy that stops everyone else from having fun.

I'd love to know which marketing genius came up with that idea.

Kelp Me! posted:Also I want to get fancy high-thread-count sheets but gently caress it's like $80+ for a Queen set, god drat Let me give you some advice: buy the best quality bedding you can afford to replace. I buy my sheets from kmart and just get a new set (and a new pillow) every 4 months or so. It owns having new bedding on a regular basis and I'm only spending $30 or so each time. E: the one time I bought super fancy sheets they got ruined by a loving idiot tradesman who managed to get bleach all over them while he was repainting my bedroom so I've given up the idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a single set of sheets.
