The official venting thread

Being alone in a group is the loneliest place.

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do...

Being alone in a group is the loneliest place.

Not if you don't like people...

Thank you, Azgreg, I need to vent right now.

I’m so pissed off right now. So a few of my friends and I are planning this camping trip on Friday. One of my friends is this guy that I talk to. So today, for whatever reason, he decided it would be a great ****ing idea to creep me and my other friends out. I was at Chili’s with my friends, and I was texting him about the stuff that we already have and what we will need for the trip. And he was talking about how he was gonna bring rope and **** like that. I told him that he didn’t need to get all of that, but he kept on egging on with it. He kept telling me how it was really important that he bring tape and rope for the night. And I was like, bringing a taser is really important, too (I was trying to give him a hint, but he obviously didn’t get it).

I told him he was creeping me out, but he kept on doing it. I eventually got really ****ing annoyed by that point, and I told him that I was this close to uninviting him, but he didn’t think I was serious. Then he sent me (and this is word for word what he said) Rope + Tape = Rape. And at that point I was just like **** this, I’m done talking to you. So we uninvited him from the trip. And the stupid thing is: he still thinks we’re joking about uninviting him. I stopped responding to him a while ago, because I just got so tired of his ****. And honestly, the last thing I want to do right now is talk to that idiot.

Now, I don’t really think he was actually going to do something like that. I think he was just trying to be funny. But man, it was so not funny. Didn’t make me laugh one bit. Nor did any of my other friends find it funny. I don't know what the **** is up with him today, but he needs to get his **** together.

What the ****?

Yeah, cut that boy off. He obviously doesn't get it.

 

[calamity]

Humans have a built in creep detector. He’s warning you, not teasing you.

Probably a good assessment. At the very least we see where his mind goes when he's invited to go camping with women. And, that he kept at it, even after being told to stop...well, that's a clear sign. Ain't it?

 

[<alt>doxygen]

That's okay. I will cop to drinking the lawnmower light stuff on occasion myself. Hope you get that stuff resolved and have a better day today.

Smart move. Don't take chances. You never know when people are hiding behind humor to make their point. That way if you are offended they can always say, "I was just joking"... But... were you really?

[poweRob]

He does know where we're going, but I highly doubt he's actually gonna follow us. I'm not scared of him, anyways. But I will keep that into consideration.

We're planning on confronting him tomorrow about this.

I'd confront him after the trip. That way he can't even try to plead his way back in.

 

[poweRob]

What the ****?

Yeah, cut that boy off. He obviously doesn't get it.

Especially if you make a fail of a joke like that and you persist on failing on it even more.

That joke was too stupid for a Dumb and Dumber Bevis and Butthead.

Yesterday didn't deserve the good stuff, Bud light it was. I already replaced the disposal and I'll pick up a window regulator on the way home tonight. Tonight I'll be drinking the good stuff (New Castle Brown Ale) during the Dbacks game.

Man, I can't believe Home Depot!

I went into "Free" Nevada to purchase a special order 1.6 gallon one piece flush toilet since California only allows 1.2 gal and doesn't do the job. I got the device with no problems, but then I had to smuggle it into California under bright lights of the Agricultural Inspection Station, and the watchful eyes of Officer Krumpke. The adrenaline was surging as I snuck through the border checkpoint, trying to act as calm as possible but inside I was as jittery as quaking jello! I knew he read me due to the beads of sweat on my forehead and my furtive glances. I felt impending doom and had a death grip on the steering wheel! I wanted to confess right there and take my beating and get it over with!

Then he said "You may proceed, Sir.", snarly and officiously, with a cold "I'll get your ass next time." sneer.

As the blood returned to my hands, I gently pushed on the accelerator trying not to faint as I made sure to not to do anything that might make him reconsider.

I felt like I committed the perfect crime! It was a rush! My eyes were bounding from the speedometer to the rear view mirror of my get a way car all the way home! I thought I was going to hyperventilate and pass out! Making it home at all was a miracle!

Oh! The toilet!

Back to the toilet... It's in a guest bath, and well, we can't have partial flushes can we? So, I finally got it installed. I was so proud I used RainX in the bowl to keep it nice and spiffy. I was on pins and needles ginning up the courage to use it. (We still haven't. It's just too pretty!)

So I get invited to write a review. And I do. The instructions include: "We'd like you to include pictures of the item in use"... huh? Uhh... I think not. I'm a very private person in that regard. So instead, I share my RainX tip with them, and some installation tips regarding installing a 100 lb porcelain toilet on porcelain tile without breaking it. BTW, Porcelain on porcelain without padding is begging for trouble.

And damned if they didn't reject my review. Somehow it just all seems so wrong... and ungrateful...

Go with a soft shut lid. I love them. No more slamming toilets just pull it towards you and walk off. I won't do without.

I can sympathize. In one week, both rear window regulators went out on my wife's car, one right after the other and maybe 2 weeks later, one regulator in my car died. All of them were in parking lots, just as we got out to go somewhere so the windows just had to stay down while we were gone. It sucks.

It isn't hard to get things across the border. I used to bring ferrets back from Vegas into California all the time. At least at the time, you could skip down to the 40 and back to Barstow thereby bypassing the checkpoint. Most of the time, the checkpoints don't even slow you down, they just wave you through.

I felt in a comedy writing mood.

I doubt they check points are authorized to search beyond agricultural and pests. I think ferrets are legal now, aren’t they?

Nope, not so far as I know. Nobody cares, of course, pet stores in California have carried ferret supplies for decades.

When I was in college I had a roommate (for a short time) who had about 6-8 ferrets. They stunk like holy hell.

That's what I've heard, although they are the cutest danged critters. I think I read somewhere that if you want a pet ferret, it's best to have their "stink" glands removed, but I don't know if that's considered cruel to the little guys.

You can get them de-scented, he didn't. They were fun to play with. I remember linoleum bowling with them.

You need to have their scent glands removed, which most pet stores do before selling them. Once removed, ferrets really don't smell any more than a dog or cat. Give them a bath and they're just fine.

They do carry a stench.

They do carry a stench.

The odor is the reason I moved out.

Yeah. I couldn't hack that either. I had a friend with two and it was too much for me to hang out there much.

Juvenile & uninspired humor relying on shock value. In other words lame & potentially very offensive if you or your lady friends have ever been sexually assaulted.
