Yes walk away from the Drama-Explosion and be a hero!

[Stush]

Speaking of parents acting dramatic, my dad threatened to kill himself because I couldn't find his phone number because I put my mobile through the wash, and couldn't find it on my computer, so I had to ring him the day after father's day.

He's been doing that for like a decade, though, it doesn't really affect me at all, but it's still frustrating. I just wish he'd realise that the reason I don't ring him so much is that he does crap like this! It's not my fault his life sucks, if he stopped punching people out and becoming mortal enemies with everyone that becomes his friend, he'd have a bit less of a hard time.

Guess where I am!


That's right, I'm not at my computer! Do you know why?


Correct again! Because my internet connection and phone are down!


Side effects included: not wasting so much time on the computer and getting a good night's sleep for once. I may even make a habit out of this.

[Büge]

Oh right, yeah, this is supposed to be the thread for downsides to life. Ummm....

Oooh! I got one: due to my lack of internet, I was unable to make a payment on an eBay auction.

[teg]

Related: Dad stole my computer; getting it back tomorrow; then leaving for good. No Internet for a while.

[SCD]

Good luck on that front. 

[JDigital]

are you sure you aren't just misplacing things

[Brentai]

Maybe he just left his computer in the doorknob.

[Classic]

I'm enough of a forgetful schmuck that I might lose my laptop if it weren't clued to me. I've lost wallets, keys, phones, paper notebooks and VCRs.

Tonights supremely minor malaise, an endlessly drippy nose and no desire to get jumped by sudafed. 

[teg]

Got it back.

More specifically: He left a ransom note.
A fucking ransom note.
See, I took the big boxes with Lego in them etc etc and to make a long story short he wanted me to return my brother's lego train that he hasn't looked at in a decade and was disassembled years ago and added to the heap. So I'm stuck here until I reassemble a train because that's seriously the best justification he could come up with for stealing more of my stuff.
I got it back, plus he gave me three hundred dollars (my stuff was worth closer to $700) and a stiff set of rules for "when" I come back. Yeah, right.

[Shinra]

Teg, your family is a cluster of amazing pieces of shit, that's really all I can say.

[Mothra]

What are The Rules?

[Mongrel]

Wow, Teg, I think your father might be three years old. How in fact did he have children? Was time travel involved? Do we need to report you to the Time Police as a physical violation of the integrity of the time stream?

[Classic]

Is\was he clever enough to remove a critical, unique piece just to prolong this kind of bullshit?

[teg]

Took a third option:

I said I would bring the train back. I never said I would assemble it.

As much as I hate too, I'm leaving pretty much all of my Lego behind and moving on. If they want to return any of it, they can drop it off where I work.

[François]

omg your dad gave you a fetch quest

that... that npc!

[Classic]

Before I was allowed to move out house I had to kill 3 muggers and report back. I'm 1/3 right now.

[Shinra]

You guys all got lucky, when I moved out I had to collect the golden chalice from the Detroit undercrypts. After a few hours of wiping we just abandoned the quest and left anyway. It tanked my reputation with the parents faction, but I already got all the gear I needed from them anyway.

[Brentai]

Who wants to hold a lego drive?

...I don't have any LEGOs.

[Ziiro]

My mother sold my set of full rubbermaid tubs of Lego at a garage sale one year.
