Random Rants VII: Why do they ALWAYS do that?!

[Annex]

Why cant clean deeds be done dirt cheap?

 

[CCRunner]

My brother and sister both suck at math so I have to help them with their homework all the time. My mom's not that great at it either.

I am hit with a sudden attack of insomnia.
I went to bed about eleven and couldn't fall asleep until one. I blame my neighbours (too loud again) and the full moon.
At half past three in the night/morning I woke up and tried to fall asleep for the next two hours and it's six in the morning now.
I have absolutely no reaon to be awake now and I can't even do aything productive until noon when I'll probably be dead tired but have important work to do.
I've tried to play Civ for the last hour just to kill time, but it wasn't fun at all, I tried to read but my mind wanders off like it's desperately trying to dream and I simply don't know what to do now.
On a completely unrelated note: I's been so goddammned cold since Sunday.

Rant 1: Why is this thread always on the next page when I leave and come back to it?

Rant 2: ImageShack is a b!tch. I don't give a f*** that you don't want me to use the bottom link for forums, I'M GOING TO USE IT. STOP THE STUPID WARNINGS AND CRAP.

Aye, that sucks, I've had to help my brother a lot for the same reason, and helping him with math seriously makes me want to jump off a 1,000 foot cliff onto a bunch of spikes.

Why do people don't forgive other people?!!

 

[Nylan]

I'm convinced I'm undiagnosed ADD.

 

[Mirc]

Just when I thought I was fine and healthy again I woke up with a huge sore throat and a lot of secretion in my throat... I think I got rid of it in about 10-20 minutes but it's terrible. Why am I still getting this?

Procrastination.

Don't do it.

Procrastination.

Do it later.

I'm an only child. I'm so alone in this world!

Because most people don't know how.

I'm convinced I'm undiagnosed ADD.

Mmm. Join the club. We have T-shirts. They're shiny.

Procrastination.

Do it later.

Why do it later when you can forget about it forever?

Try growing up as the only child of immigrants who never bothered to properly learn the language of their new country.
I've been translating for my parents since I'm ten years old.

We must be kindred spirits. I must say, having a brother/sister doesn't look too attractive.

I just came home from a visit to a hospital where I've had a truly "great" experience.

Text below not for the faint-hearted:

Spoiler :

I crushed my fingernail a few days ago. Problem is that a blood clot formed above my nail (just where the nail ends), 3 mm behind the point where it blends with the finger.

So what did they do?

They put a thick needle BETWEEN my nail and my finger and pushed the needle through 2/3 of the visible part of the nail while PRESSING on the clot, which BTW happens to be the most painful part, for the blood to squeeze through the space between the nail and the finger and be removed from the clot. That, BTW, did not remove all of the blood as a tiny part is coagulated and they just hope it will melt away, which means that if it doesn't, I'll have to go through all this again.

All this without one bit of anesthesia. The whole process, from the point when the needle separated my finger from my nail and until the point when they stopped pushing on the clog lasted around 9 minutes according to my watch. Just... IMAGINE 9 minutes of that.


PLEASE please let it get well and don't make me go through this again If this doesn't work next time, they will have to remove my nail. And according to them, they don't use anesthesia for that either. I honestly hope I will lose consciousness from the pain if that happens to be necessary.

It's by far the most painful and hideous thing ever to have happened to me. I truly can't describe the pain. AFAIK, yanking people's nails was a torture method, wasn't it?

Re: your last question, Yes, yes it was. Wow. Just reading it was painful

I was kinda hoping I was wrong with that.

Yes, quite an ancient one too. You should be honored or something....

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Sheesh. Reminds me of the WWII Japanese POW torture stories from the History channel.

There's this girl, right, who's really really pretty, and nice, and lovely and all that. She's waaaay out of my league, and I know this. She clearly doesn't fancy me. And, for a reason I still don't quite understand, I don't really fancy her. She's drop dead gorgeous, and on paper, she's "the perfect girl", but... I don't fancy her. It's not like there's anything wrong with her, it's just... meh!

The problem is, she just can't fathom how a geek like me could possibly not be madly in love with her. And it's gotten very, very tedious. Every time she asks what I'm doing this weekend, or coming to XYZ, or whatever, she always adds the word "all" to it, referring to my flatmates. "Are you all coming to Pirate Day this weekend?" "Do you all want to come to the Tate?" "Lets all go to see The Strangers!". It's so friggin annoying. It's got to the point where I really don't want to talk to her, or make the effort to arrange stuff to do with her (and my flatmates, of course ).

And the thing that really takes the piss is that we get on reasonably well when it's just me and her (i.e. when the rest of "you all" has gone elsewhere for a bit), so it's not like she just doesn't like me as a friend. But she just plain won't do anything if it's just me. We work literally 5 minutes away from each other, and I when I learnt this, I said, "oh wow, we should 'do lunch' sometime!" and she was like, "yeah, sure, that sounds good". But of course, now she's always busy...

I wish she would just get over herself and realise that I don't want to get in her pants, I just want to be friends. So she doesn't need to protect herself by including "all" my flatmates in whatever we do. If she doesn't like me as a person, though, then fair enough, but if that's true, then just don't talk to me at all, so I won't have to waste my time trying to get to know you!

ffs.

Text below not for the faint-hearted:

I feel for you, Mirc. A few years back, I was playing ball with my dog, and I went to kick the ball just as the dog went to grab it with his teeth, and I ended up hitting my big toe nail on his teeth. It ripped the big toe nail about 2/3 of the way off and bled all over my living room.

When I went to the doctor, they said I had two choices: (1) they could just grab the nail with a pair of forceps (pliers) and rip it off quickly, and that is going to hurt a lot, or (2) they could give me shots into my toe, which is going to hurt a lot, and then remove it. I chose the latter, but the two shots they gave me went straight into the tip of my big toe and back toward the foot. I was crawling up the wall as they did it. The tetanus shot they gave me was a relief after those two shots in the toe.

I still get chills thinking about it.

@Mirc: Your pain is as often the subject of your rants as D'art's stuff breaking is the subject of his. The universe doesn't like you, I guess.
