[QUOTE=cynaraos;53082761]moving the.. things that select text on my Android phone is so incredibly messy[/QUOTE]
Still a million times better than trying to select text within a word on iOS.
What pisses me off is my co workers and I have nothing against their argument.
I am 24, the coworkers I hang out with are like 23-24 (I graduated college when I was 21 and moved out straight away, they took extra time off and graduated at 23) so they are straight out of college.
They keep bragging about how much disposable income they have since they live with parents and dont have to pay for food or rent.
Whenever I ask them: "You're starting your professional career, would you not move out eventually?"
They say: "Why would I? My parents own house and I can live in it and not pay for anything, that way I can afford more stuff"
I always say: "Yeah I guess".
But the way they brag about all that money they have left over and make comments when I say I need to save up is just annoying. I am immigrant, me nor my parents own property here so I cant live in "parents house" and it's really annoying being judged that way and not having any counter arguments because it does make sense to live with parents to save up for something.
My brother was being such a dick to me when I was trying to drive

Why?
You know when people talk about something that happens these days, but when you ask where that happens they either give a really bad example, a really vague example, or something similar to "just look it up dude"
Movies/episodes that end with everyone dancing + annoying song that is popular anyway.

Even worse when you try to paste something in the middle of a sentence. Tried to hold down after setting the cursor? Fuck you, you obviously want to select a word. Moved the cursor back? Fuck you again, the clipboard menu gets to disappear.
I have a lot of friends that come to me for help with cars or computers (mostly cars, basic maintenance and repair that they can't afford to take to a shop) and I pretty much help any of them pro-bono. They buy the parts, I do the labor and ask for nothing more than a beer.
However, some friends have decided that me helping them means I can help them whenever they need it. And it's really frustrating to feel like I'm being taken advantage of by those I trust and care about, especially the ones who I tell beforehand, "Sure, I'll help you, but you need to do half the labor and try and learn something in the process." They never do.
Recently I had a buddy ask me to spec out/build a computer for him. He had a tight budget of $600 and I said no problem, did a lot of research to make sure I got him the best bang for his buck and sent him links to everything to get it ordered. I spent a couple hours of my free time, of which I have little, doing that.
Instead, he got impatient, went to a local computer store with a friend's dad, and spent $200 more than what he said his budget was, and now hits [B]me[/B] up whenever he has complications. It's just super disrespectful - I went out of my way to help him out, he ignores my advice after asking for it, then expects help whenever anything happens. Ironically, his mobo just fried, despite it being twice the price of the one I had spec'd. I helped him several times since, but the other day he hits me up again about the mobo frying and I said, "Sorry man, I didn't build that. Go ask the other guy."
People are ridiculously entitled these days and it drives me nuts. I'm at the point where I don't help anyone except for the rare few friends who help me just as equally, and I can't say there's many of them.

We had two new hires at my company recently, and when one of them was handed his 401k pamphlet and forms, he said to our admin, "Oh, I'll have to let my mom look over this, I'll fill it out tomorrow."
Comes back the next day and puts FIFTY PERCENT per paycheck down.
Must be nice being 27, having parents that let you live with them rent-free, while you bank 75k+ and can drop half your income into a 401k. I moved out when I was 17 and grinded my ass off to get where I'm at, so things like that make my blood boil too.
Me and all my friends are in a group chat where we dick about talk games the usual.
My best friend's girlfriend keeps keeps on interrupting us mid fucking conversation by posting completely unrelated topics that ONLY she likes, or fucking worse which REALLY pisses me off, she'll say something strange out of context that'll prompt us to ask her what she's doing which again, will only be something she enjoys. In the middle of whenever we all talk
A perfect example
We where talking about dark souls 3, a game where 4/6 of us have played, mid discussion she posts a link to Funko pop figures saying shit like "hey guys check these out!"
She [I]knows[/I] we all [U]hate[/U] those things, only she likes them, but it's just because she doesn't enjoy what we are currently talking about.

Peoples reactions to "cursed images". Every single time i'm not annoyed by the image. If anything, the term "cursed images" should be for something makes you go "What the fuck?", not "I'm mildly annoyed by this."

I think the reason I'm not annoyed by 90%+ of these, i can logically explain them, so there's nothing to be annoyed by for me.
EDIT:
I just followed the account. If anything, I'll use the occasional imaged to inspire some nightmare fuel for me for when I'm writing one of my stories.
Far leftists are beyond annoying.
I just wasted too much time arguing with some cunt who seemed to believe that the flag of the soviet union/other communist countries is at the same level in atrocities as the Australian flag.

the type of spastic who goes around burning Australian flags because Australia is such an awful country that shits all over human rights.

When I'm shitting on the toilet and notice that I haven't refilled the toilet paper and then I have to walk with shit on my ass through the apartment....
Its incredible how expensive apartments are, like god damn.
1 bed, 1 bath apartment in a seedy part of town sits at around $495-525/mo (€398/422).
A 1 bed, 1 bath apartment of the same size and condition in a semi-okay part of town is bare minimum $850 (€683). Want a slightly bigger apartment? Get ready to jump into the $1000+ range. The shit's insane, iirc apartments in Wisconsin, which is literally a 20 minute drive to the border, are much cheaper despite being in better condition.
Man Illinois just has this amazing power to just...fuckin [I]suck everywhere[/I]

What do you earn there on average? I mean, even here in such a small town in Kassel flats are sometimes very expensive!

Oh cool, a foreign band I like decided to take down an entire album off of Spotify, but for some reason they kept the English version up?
??? Who's making these confusing decisions??
Filling out an application and it requires 3 references that aren't relatives, and none of the people i'm friends with are available to ask, what a pain in the fucking ass. Why is nothing ever easy.

Do you not keep your toilet paper in or near the bathroom like a sane person?

I don't want to post any details right now, but suffice it to say that I don't feel comfortable or at home at my current place of work anymore.
I need to process things but I just feel like getting out.

If you want someone to talk to, PM me. I can relate and just recently left my employer of over 7 years in December.
At roughly 1:00AM this morning, my desktop forgot how to use the internet. Permanently.
This desktop has been the bane of my personal life since I built it, a total nightmare from start to finish. Originally, it started hard crashing at random without explanation. The computer couldn't even give me a blue screen most of the time. After as much troubleshooting as I could accomplish with a machine that was starting to refuse to boot at all, I decided to replace the motherboard. The crashing stopped for about a week and then started again.
So then I discovered it was a driver issue. My graphics cards didn't like the exact configuration I was using with an HDTV for a monitor. After adjusting the settings, the crashing stopped for good. Then one day, I boot my computer an and there's no internet. I go to connect, only to find that my computer is no longer aware it gas an onboard network controller. The port on the motherboard was dead and there was nothing I could do except buy a new network card.
That worked for a while, but when I got home after finishing my degree, I had to switch back to wifi. Suddenly, the card I was using to connect before I moved out is dropping in and out of connection, seemingly at random. I buy a range extender for the house so I can get better signal at my end, despite never having problems before. It helps for a week or so, and then it's back to random connectivity problems. So then I decide it must be too much interference on the 2.6 band and I blow a bunch of money on a really high quality card so it can pick up the weaker 5Ghz signal. It still doesn't always work.
At this point, I'm losing my mind. I want to switch back to ethernet, but mg father insists on keeping the network equipment under an aquarium in the living room where it's impossible to run a cable without upsetting my parents about the "tidiness" of the house. So I continue to just deal with the random drops for months on end, while all my friends are having fun playing online games without me. Finally, as a birthday present, I get one of those adaptors that let you run a signal through the power system in the house.
I set it up, the network is good, but I can't use it yet because the new wifi card is in the slot where my ethernet card used to be, and I can't find it anymore. So we go to the store and get a USB adaptor and plug a cable between it and the new wall adaptors. It works perfectly... for about 5 minutes at a time, as my computer decides that the network adaptor is malfunctioning and needs to be shut down, requiring me to pull it out and reinsert it. I took it back to the store, and then bought a PCI card that would fit into the last unused slot on the board.
Now I have a computer that, when connected, is a pleasure to use. Except sometimes "read: every night at least once or twice) it decides that the internet isn't there anymore. It'll say there's an unidentified connection. I usually wait it out. And when I'm in voice chat on Discord, sometimes it just decodes to stop letting me hear other people, while they can hear me, and the only way to fix it is to disconnect and reconnect to the voice channel. And then, tonight, it declared af 1AM that there's no internet, and nothing I could do in 2 and a half hours of troubleshooting can change its mind. The wifi card sees the network, of course, but trying to connect instantly fails without explanation.
On top of all that, despite spending nearly a grand on building a mid-tier gaming machine, it performs like absolute dogshit and always has. AAA games gradually develop artifacts and crash, despite open hardware monitor claiming that the temperatures inside the case are fine. Overwatch is unplayable, and many other games are iffy. Tonight, I pulled the original motherboard out of my closet and I'm going to reinstall it tomorrow, hoping it'll start letting me connect to the internet again. After all, it was a graphics driver issue causing the problem to begin with, although I think the old board also has issues with USB 3.0.
I will never build a computer again. I'll spend the extra money and add a good graphics card to a prebuilt. This computer has been such a fucking disaster that I blame it for my gradual hobby shift away from PC gaming entirely.
The people who keep region locking content should have both their hands amputated for being such awful human beings. Fuck I hate how 1990s corporate throw backs still have the power to implement their luddite agenda.
