The Letting Off Steam Thread

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Fucking doctors and the healthcare system here. Had a friend who had a botched "simple procedure" and ended up dying from it. She was one of the few disabled people ive ever met who didnt have a chip on her shoulder, lived her life just like everyone else even though her disability was severe enough that she needed a personal assistant for independence. Shit like this fucking pisses me off. The avatar change is a tribute to her because she designed the logo as a tatoo and convinced 100+ people to get it. She even bothered to get it trademarked...so yeah...tahts my day...

On the bright side, it still has a bit of eleven months to turn itself around.

That's how I felt back in the day so I can certainly relate, though if you want to go to uni it's something you've got to tough out. If you don't though, it's not the end of the world. Are you able to drop any subjects?

Fucking civilian service is driving me mad. Came back home after being at the hospital for 9 1/2 hours (which is not too nice for 10 bucks a day, is it?) and then I had to go out to print those photos for my chef which I had promised to him. So its like I did not do nothing and the day is almost over.
Add the fact that this will be the case for the next 125 days until this shit is over.

I hate being at home just sitting around but I feel too lazy and tired and I dont want to do anything but chill. And then the day is over. Damn. (Especially hard in Winter .. We had sweet sunshine all day but when I leave work the sun goes down. Thx life)

Sometimes it happens when I have things on my mind or I'm up late working on something and don't want to put it down. Had a bout of it last night but still got a decent sleep and woke up feeling OK this morning, so for now it's all good.

I can't sleep and it's getting very annoying. I have no cable for the night and no one is online to talk too, so I'm on addictinggames.com wasting my life away. BTW its 3:12 a.m

I'm so jinxed it's almost laughable...

So I've been having some issues with my car lately. I pride myself on being a very safe driver and I never had an accident before, but about a month ago I hit another car' rear end when the bitch in front of me decided it was a bright idea to slam on her brakes for no apparent reason...Her van barely had a scratch on the bumper, she did not have even pull over for insurance stuff, but my car had a broken headlight and blinker (not the bulbs but the protection thingy). I'm so broke I haven't had a chance to have it fixed and I just put a shitload of duct tape on it so the blinker doesn't fall apart.

A couple of weeks ago, I park in the street instead of my driveway for the first time, and the next day I find one of my windows (the little triangular one in the back) partially broken, ready to shatter with any other hit. There were big stains below it as if somebody had been throwing at it a bucket of paint or something. Been driving like that ever since (still broke).

Last night, while moving my car to let my wife's go in the garage, she tells me that my left taillight is not working properly. I get of the car to check it out, sure enough one of the bulbs is dead, and then I hear the door shut by itself...with the keys inside and the door locked from the inside, with the lights still on... :wall:
Not able to spend $50 on a locksmith, I have no choice but breaking into my own car by finishing off with a big rock the window that I mentioned was already fucked. Took me half an hour to duct tape the fucking thing, in the dark, cutting my fingers on the broken glass that was all over, with freezing temperature. Good stuff :?

I hate that shit badman: when you rear end someone so its "your fault" but their car is fine and yours is destroyed....happened to me this past summer.
At this point maybe call pimp my ride and make mtv fix it?

My friend got into 3 small accidents in a span of 2 weeks. He messed up his front bumper, rear bumper, and the passengers door. One was his fault, the other two were the other peoples. He also got caught smoking weed in his car in a parking lot, but being probably one of the luckiest people at the moment, the cops took the weed he had in his car and let him go with a warning. WOW!

:lol:
I was thinking about that...Not sure it's destroyed enough for it though, maybe I'll need to rear end other peeps first.
Can't wait for my own energy drink dispenser in the armrest, my 7000W amps in the trunk, with new West Coast-style orange/purple paint job. :mrt:
