The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Congrats. I've been meaning to mention that I found Elance insultingly low-ball a year or so back. Sorry it didn't work out but it seems we agree it is pretty much never worth it to sell yourself/your skill set short.

In re: getting aboard the appearance train. First impressions do matter but degree of mattering differs depending on situation and the people involved.
Some men really care about their appearance and those I believe care more about others' appearance. More women care both about looking good-to-great than men and thus, judge others more.

Being clean and well-groomed, clothes not in tatters, no horrible clashing of patterns (unless intended) goes a long way. Label snobs make me nuts--that includes clothes, food, cars, what-have-you. I want quality, value, decent-looking-to-flattering depending on situation and comfortable. Uncomfortable shoes no matter what I paid for them makes me look bad as does an-ill fitting, uncomfortable anything. I think really, I judge me much more than I assess others. I really don't care what others are wearing. I am a weirdo, always have been.

 

Pretty much the same here. I would say I look pretty plain, average, if not blue collar, than middle-middle class to most people.

 

Common courtesy, like common sense, seems to be starting to become less and less common.

...

I hate money. I really, really, really hate money.
I need a big-people job so I don't have to worry about money so much anymore.

 

DaddySquirrel stayed up late with BabySquirrel so I could sleep.

Bastard ate my Girl Scout cookies though.

 

Vehicle is on the fritz. Making weird noises when I steer and there's bublegum looking stuff leaking out from underneath. Must have blew a hose. Took it in to the shop and then waited a whole hour in -18C for a damn cab.

 

Has he not seen your scissors??

 

Pigeon, too.

 

Reminds of an old classic:
Penguin's car isn't running right so he goes to the mechanic.
Mechanic says I'll take a look, come back in an hour.
Penguin sees an ice cream place across the street, goes and has a vanilla cone. Has trouble eating it with his flippers, gets it all over his face.
Walks up to see the mechanic who says "It looks like you blew a seal."
Penguin says "Nope that's just vanilla ice cream."

 

Frustrated.
Even more frustrated that I can't quite put words to why I'm frustrated.

 

You insist that I go with you to see your mother & father even though I saw both of them just two days ago. I know it's because you want me to drive, not because you want my company. You could put some more effort into getting your father to talk, that's the point of us visiting. It's not easy, it takes a lot of work.

I know because I'm the one who usually puts in the effort.

 

It took me 45m to peel and eat an orange. Asshole frankenhand.

 

New band name!

Hey, @DamnitAll, I damn near needed CPR after that post!

I've officially added "Hang with DamnitAll over beers" to my Bucket List!

Rock on!

 

Beers with @damnitall is worth whatever effort it tales.
