Dazerbeams posted:I hate that no one knows how to commute in this city. Everyone walks way too slow or blocks the left side of the escalator or they just pause at bizarre times. Then you've got assholes who try to charge onto vehicles the moment the doors open rather than letting people off. Or idiots who don't know how to line up properly so there's a ton of space left in front and jerks can sidecut everyone else. Bitch, I'd like to go home rather than spend one more second rubbing elbows with the shuffling masses. I feel you. Public transit sucks, but driving can suck just as much and usually costs more. My personal pet-peeve when driving is that everyone in my city watches the advance go (left turn indicator) traffic light for at least 15 seconds before they even consider going. So a situation where normally 20 cars should be able to make a successful left turn, only about 5-10 get to. It's always the first or second car that does this. One time I was the first car and made the left turn when the light indicated. I looked in my rear view mirror 1/4 of a km down the road and the second car was just appearing to turn. Looking again a few seconds later the only cars that made it were me, the slowpoke, and one more. The turning lane is long enough to accommodate 20 or more cars. I've timed the intersection, and it's almost 7 minutes between left-turn opportunities.

They looking at their phones and don't notice the change right away. Seriously everyone driving is looking at their loving phones all the god drat time. All demographics. It's astounding.

I like to think I'm a pretty chill driver, I like to speed but generally understand that traffic sucks for everyone and that getting mad wont fix anything. There is however one thing that is unforgivable and I wish great harm upon those who do this. When a car is stopped at a red light, and the car behind it quickly ducks into the next lane over that I'm already in, causing me to have to start braking. I have a few routes where I know the light cycles very well and can plan my drive so that I never need to hit the brakes, I just let off the gas, coast up to the lights, then start accelerating again when it hits green. Then these dipshits duck into my lane so they can be "first" and throw everything off, usually causing me to come to a complete stop.  (Enjoy my terrible diagram) If I ever win the lottery I'm going to get a truck with huge bull bars on the front and not stop for these people.

Blistex posted:I feel you. Public transit sucks, but driving can suck just as much and usually costs more. oh I get real steamed up about this because I have two difficult left turns to make on my way home, both of which have left turn yield modes (flashing yellow) as well as go modes (green, obviously). During the yield it's actually quite easy to fit in a left turn unless the next car is almost already to the intersection, but people just delay and hesitate SO loving MUCH that basically no one gets to go through. An equal problem is the people making U turns at the left turn literally slow to a COMPLETE STOP before hesitantly nosing their vehicles out and around, like JUST GO MOTHERFUCKERS

Today was full of doing other peoples' jobs on top of my own, then after lunch I was told that I will now have additional responsibilities permanently added to my workload, and then a piece of equipment failed and it was suddenly my job to fix it for some reason. Meanwhile, my boss left 2 hours before end of shift.

I'm a dumb immature baby who's always worked alone/as a consultant so I could always peace out if a co-worker was annoying me Now I have a permanent job I really love on a team that's great. BUT one person is super disruptive and disrespectful and incompetent and being protected by a manager who doesn't want to admit he made a mistake promoting her. She's getting under my skin and I have like no experience actually dealing with lovely co-workers.

That's a good point. I really like the manager save for this one blind spot, and he really seems like he can't stand her either, so I'm wondering if someone's forcing his hand on this one I dunno. Point is everyone hates her, I'm just the one who has trouble dealing

Another one of my friends from high school died. It sucks because he completely fell off the map when we all graduated 10+ years ago, because his family were all Jehovah’s Witnesses and never let him see anyone, so none of us got to hear anything until he killed himself. It feels lovely, too, since it makes you wonder what could have happened if he was able to keep his social support network. gently caress, this sucks. I think more of my friends from back in the day are dead than alive at this point.

It's been 3 weeks and I am still unable to shoot destructive laser beams from my eyes. If anything it feels like the last week turned back the progress. The medicine I have to take to deal with unlikely side effects strongly encourages me not to drink, smoke weed or go to gym or do anything fun. gently caress me.

Fat = Unable to move under one's own power Chubby = Morbidly Obese Curvy = Really Fat Thicc = Fat Normal = Chubby Slender = Your medically recommended weight based on your frame "Too Skinny. . . ugh, that's so unhealthy" = Athletic Anorexic = Someone who's actually thin. In another 10 years "slender" will be firmly within the "danger zone" for heart disease and stroke.

I'm doing much MUCH better. My parent was declared cancer free, family crazyness has settled to it's regular levels and my life has gone back to normal. Whatever funnel of depression I was slowly being washed down has let up. I'm still kind of recovering from the whole thing but I think I'm doing pretty dang good. Never really did talk to a pro but I DID take the time to actually tell my wife what the hell was going on with me and, who would have guessed it, that made me feel a lot better and of course she totally got it and talked me through what the hell I was feeling without making me feel like a crazy person. So, yeah, I just sucked it up and talked to the person I trust most. I know, cray cray. Thanks for the "how you doin?"

Here's my vent. I spent like 6 hours cleaning my house today and I feel like I accomplished NOTHING. It's still a mess. The outside needs powerwashed. I'm frustrated. I have dogs that just tear through and make poo poo dirty, but it's not their fault. I love them and treat them awesome and they have a huge yard + tons of toys + awesome food + bones for days. I wanna hire someone to come in and clean my poo poo in a whirlwind.
