That didn't help? Do I have to pull out the fucking big guns here?

Get to study!

You will never know how loudly I scream at my computer because of things like this

Back on Slashdot I discovered that the sure-fire way to maximum karma was to make a quick nerd joke related to the story as one of the earliest comments.

The first time I tried this, I got the maximum 5 karma instantly. Then someone made a reply, explaining the joke, and HE got 5 karma too.

Online recipes that are like:

1-Buy sauce at the store
2-Slather meat in said sauce
3-Add a vegetable (optional)
4-Cook until done
5-Salt and pepper to taste

Whoa there, chef Boyardee, slow down! We can't all work at the French Laundry!

I briefly mentioned this elsewhere, but I figured I should elaborate:

I understand the purpose of it, but I really hate that EB Games does that thing where the box is opened, the disc has been kept in a paper sleeve for years and is unsurprisingly scuffed, and the case is both covered in difficult-to-remove stickers* and bashed up a little from being kept on a shelf and manhandled by the public, but I am nonetheless told that I am buying a new game.



*Goo Gone is the best thing anyone has invented ever.

[Beat Bandit]

It is, in fact, the stupidest thing. Double points when they don't even tell you before making you wait for finding the disc in the back that it's the shelf copy.

Fun fact: they can actually mark it as "damaged" and charge less, but wont unless they like you.

[Lottel]

I hate it. The only times I buy a game from GameStop is when I can guarantee I can get it still plastic wrapped.
It got worse after I found out that employees can take games and play them.

That's right. You can get a "new" game and it might already have save files on it. UNACCEPTABLE.

My dog ran off(again) today. I went after her, but lost track of her, and since I live alone, I figured it would be better to go back home just in case she came back, rather than wander around looking for her. About an hour later, I heard dogs barking a couple of houses down, so I went to check it out, and sure enough, there she was! So I tried to call her back, but she ignored me. I couldn't go after her, because she's still basically a puppy, and if I run after her, she'll think I'm trying to chase her, and run off again.

Just then, a car pulled up, and two girls got out. She ran to one of them(my dog loves people). The girl looked right at me with the leash in my hand, trying to lure my dog back to me, and rather than make any attempt to help me catch her, yelled at her and chased her away.



Fortunately, she didn't go far. She just circled around a couple of houses and came back, but if she had gotten hit by a car or something, I would probably be in jail right now.

[Lady Duke]

Why do you let your dog out leashless if she doesn't stay with you?

[A²]

When your laptop arrives back from warranty repair with worse problem than when you sent it off. Twenty minutes before you go on a two week trip.

When fatigue gets you a speeding ticket 10 minutes outside of where you were going to rest

[A²]

When after reading over the ticket you have no idea how much you owe, won't be home for two weeks and the courthouse for it is a 4
:hour drive

[Niku]

3 hours if you rush it!

My little brother (20) cannot sit down in a car or on a couch and not fall asleep unless he is eating. What makes it worse is he has the TV or radio cranked up and when it's turned off, he refuses to believe he was asleep. To the point he becomes almost violently angry.

I'd be having a conversation and get a text or phone call and when I turn to continue he's snoring. So I leave him be. Half an hour later he's yelling at me for not continuing the conversation.

[Beat Bandit]

Get him medical attention?

[Lottel]

It's not like a sleeping disease. He just is a very sleepy guy. Because he's always partying.

[Mongrel]

Video evidence is the only option.

I never really used to pay attention to restaurant flyers, but since I've moved and started handling all incoming mail I suppose I've glanced at a couple, just out of curiosity.

...

12 bucks, before tax, for the place's cheapest 7" sub? What the hell, people? Twelve dollars buy me like five meals! Who pays 12 fucking Canadian dollars for a fucking sub? This isn't even some high-brow place, it's a bullshit faux-Italian chain where idiots take their girlfriends when they want to look fancy! Jesus Christ!

Times are tough? You think times are tough? Take that 12 dollar sandwich out of your pie-hole, motherfucker, then tell me again that times are tough.

[Lottel]

Who eats a sub when trying to look fancy?

[Beat Bandit]

Notably anyone who eats a twelve dollar sub has never had "tough times".
