Seeing the Complete Series DVD of "Scooby Doo: Where Are You?" on the shelf at my Wal-Mart for months and then when I finally decide to go buy it
"WHOOPS NEVER MIND WE STOPPED SELLING IT YOU HAVE TO BUY IT ONLINE AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE AND IT WILL TAKE A WEEK TO GET HERE LMAO"
can retail stop going to shit for once
People who price things the same price as new.
Why is this so fucking common? I see this 90% of time on ANYTHING.
Are they just retarded and think someone else is even more retarded and will buy it and if someone doesn't they slowly lower the price?
Sounds like something one of my friends would do.
He sometimes streams gameplay off his PS4 on YouTube and he's not even good. He's just some random dude with mediocre skill playing Call of Duty and expects people to flock to him.
That feeling when there's a mention in the Facepunch discord server and then you open the message to see discord crash. Nothing to do but manually exit discord so you can use it properly again.
I take it someone's found a way to prank people similar to that letter which crashed Apple devices back on iOS 11.
People who have no volume control and have to scream everything instead of talking like a normal person.
Me: "So do you have someone to give you a ride?"
Loudmouth: "DON'T WORRY I GOT FRIEND COMING SO IT'S ALL GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!"
Some girls and their ungodly loud social laughter. Even when something funny wasn't even said. Me and my friends had to move to different tables to get away from that shrill, ear-splitting shit.

I feel bad sometimes, my friends say I'm loud as fuck but I can't help it. I don't do the obnoxious WOOOOO level bullshit like the above, but my volume tends to get out of control just conversing normally. It doesn't sound like yelling/screaming, so much as my voice becomes loud without any changes in tone or inflection.
It's all only because my parents have been half deaf since I was a child because they had me at a.. not very young age, and their youths were full of loud cars and deafening concerts which irreversibly damaged their hearing, so I have to talk very loud, deliberately, and clearly, for them to hear me most of the time and it became my default volume from doing it since I could basically talk.
I try very hard to not elevate my volume around other people, but it usually fails. It takes constant fucking conscious thought. I hate it so much because I do not like being annoying.

"Well I don't mean you, you're one of the good ones" is a phrase that has been used to brush over blatantly racist/bigoted ideas for ages and it's never not hilarious to see how many self-described progressives pull that old chestnut out to justify making really nasty blanket-statements about groups like white people or men or theists. It just takes a tremendous lack of self-awareness, to the point I've all but given up on trying to engage these people. If you say "men are trash" or "white people need to do better", don't be shocked if members of the group you're vilifying take offense to your ignorant-ass rhetoric and refuse to accept "well I didn't mean you specifically, just people who belong to the same social/racial/ethnic/religious group as you" with good humor.
The only thing that's funnier is when they don't try to hide their prejudice as "oh well I just meant the bad ones" and instead try to turn it into "yeah, I hate all X, but that fear is justified because statistically...", just literally taking that "despite making up X percent of the population" logic you see on /pol/ and applying it to anyone they deem "privileged". It's gross and pathetic and the fact that mainstream organizations and institutions will coddle and encourage this kind of mindset would be funny if it weren't so sickening.
I'm losing my shit
You've got Canada performing fucking eugenics on its indigenous people
Japan performing eugenics on transgender people as well, along with having an oppressive workforce culture
One of Japan's former prime ministers being a sexist cunt and saying women are to blame for Japan's declining population
Britain being a fucking nanny state and China having it even fucking worse in that aspect with a social credit system that encourages guilt by association
"Woke" people acting like white guilt is the answer to solving racism, while twisting the definition of racism to avoid looking like a hypocrite
Trump supporters eating Russia's ass even though conservatives in America used to be heavily anti-Russian
And fucking white supremacists in the US government who are getting closer and closer to just straight up admitting that they want to kill everyone who isn't a straight white Christian man
I don't know how much more of this shit I'll be able to handle
"Hopes and dreams? More like dopes and dreams!"

"Hey shut uuup!"

"No you shut up!"

-- Shows that don't seem to understand comedy.
commercials have never been funny and good lord do i hate their forced humour
Started studying at 13, finished 10 minutes after midnight
Why make up actually good jokes when you can make it seem like a joke was told by repeating a laughing sound byte?
I'm likely an outlier in this, and this is a me problem, so I don't expect anyone else to change because of it, but God motherfucking shitting baby Christ it grates on my nerves.
I'm so sick of the internet latching onto negative shit and bitching until the cows come home, causing me to stop going to those places til it blows over and stripping me of something I want to actually enjoy rather than roll my eyes at.
I get it, people are allowed to be upset about things. But it always gets dragged, ON and ON and ON and ON and it's just, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I wish people would fuck off about the Super Bowl already. I wish people would quit bitching months after the release of a bad game/movie/show/WHATEVER. I wish they'd just say their piece and move on, stopping with these regurgitated shitty memes that say the same things over and over only worded differently, just whining and crying poorly disguised as humor.
Even if I agree with something being bad, I hate dwelling on it. I don't like being constantly reminded that something I or someone(s) else really wanted to like turned out terribly.
I have enough of my own personal negativity to deal with. I don't need help with whinging being perpetually shoved in my face.
I do not need constant reminders that the world is shit and everything good in it is rotting rapidly.
I personally don't find humor in it whatsoever. It's tiresome. I completely lack humor as a coping mechanism for things going bad. It doesn't work on me.
"Oh boy I can't wait to continue playing game that I always have fun playing"
and then when I finally play I suddenly have lost any ability to play the game that I was good at 2 days ago
I hate my sister. She lives with us now because of a psychotic episode and her pets just moved in with us. She can't be trusted to live by herself anymore, or else she'll continue to spend money and try to get pregnant. She's single, has a child, and is currently thousands of dollars in debt.
Her fucking dog just now tried tried to kill our dog. My father had to kill it because it's jaws wouldn't let go of our dog's neck. She emotionally abused the thing for years by always locking it in a cage, leaving it in a basement, or leaving it tied up outside. The dog never got any social interaction which is why I think it attacked our dog. She then has the nerve to post on Facebook about how much she'll miss the dog. Despite the fact that she never cared about it. My parents also decided not to tell me about it. Of course I'm upset OUR DOG ALMOST GOT MURDERED. I didn't even know her dog tried to kill our dog until my brother told me.
For years she has lied and manipulated my parents. They put their blood, sweat, and tears into renovating her a home. She decided she didn't like it and demanded a new house. We just got the former house sold today and she demands she gets the money, even though she didn't spend a single fucking cent in the first place. She wants to use the cash to buy herself a fucking trailer and live in a trailer park, even though she ALREADY HAS A FUCKING HOUSE.
She also faked her second pregnancy as well. Didn't tell us until the fucking Friday before THANKSGIVING. She spent months not only lying to us, not only lying to our family friends, but also to her ex boyfriend/one night stand. She lied about going to the doctor for check ups on her pregnancy. She showed us an ultrasound picture that was taken from Google images. She took so much money and time from my parents.
The only reason she gets away with it is because she has a child. My parents are afraid of making her mad. They fear she'll take the kid somewhere dangerous. I've seen the people she hangs out with, and I'm scared for that child. I'm just so fucking angry and upset I don't know what to do. I feel so powerless and I just want it all to stop. She has ruined our family and all I can do is watch. I want to fucking scream and cry I just hate it all. I wish I was dead at this point so I wouldn't have to hear about anymore of her fuck ups.
Not gonna pretend I know the whole situation but maybe call CPS if her kid is seriously in danger of being harmed/neglected/abused.
No you're fine. The situation is complicated, but the kid is safe right now. She lives with my parents along with my sister. The problem lies in that my sister has custody of the child, meaning she could just take her and go.
My parents are sort of part of the problem in a way. They cleaned up her house before she moved in with us. They actively try to cover her mistakes. I understand they want what's best for her, but there has to be a point where the madness ends.
I suppose I don't really hate her. She is my sister, but I can't forgive her for everything she's done. My parents continue to pay off her debts, and they care for the kid more than my sister does.
Her other ex who she had the kid with is a dead beat who only sees the kid on the weekends. The whole ordeal is a mess and I just can't see a good way out of it. I fear that my parents are gonna be stuck with her for the rest of their lives.
Six roof leak-- Oh never mind, make that seven. Still broken AC. Increasing amounts of vehicle issues. Mental issues that require professional care but aren't covered by insurance.
Money in the bank: $0
(Actually closer to the negatives due to perpetually building debt from being behind on just about every bill we have, even AFTER cancelling a lot of non-critical services.)
Every job opportunity I can get ahold of keeps slipping through my fingers for one reason or another.
Everyone's at their wits end.
Nobody has time.
Nobody has money.
I just wish I could burn this house down with everyone in it just so the suffering stops.
Seeing my brother become an unironic fascist has really hurt me.
Imagine posting something like, "when you cayn get the plastic thing that holds the cookies back in the sheaf" and then seeing the above posts.
It's dropped to a bone-chilling 70F in Florida so better rev up those heaters in the office!
It's like 85F in here. Literally why. I can't focus on work when I'm burning up like this but people bitch if it's not scorching hot. How does anyone live like this?
Hey, don't worry, it's alright. This thread is supposed to be for all sorts of things, no matter the severity, even if it seems petty.
I understand how you feel though, makes you feel like whatever you're currently upset about is just totally pointless in comparison, doesn't it? I've encountered that a few times before, but ultimately end up thinking, just letting the little things build up on you is what makes the big things all that much worse.
You're fine.
And yeah, being unable to get the cookie tray back in the thing is really fuckin' irritating.
uploading anything on a facebook group is a fucking nightmare.
University: Hi, welcome to English Law.
Me: Hi, I'm-
University: I'm sorry, did you just speak ENGLISH? You will need to know extensive Latin for this course.
Me: Wh-

Websites that take 3-4 days to ship stuff out. I ordered a gun part from one website, they had it out the door 20 minutes after ordering.
The other part I ordered on another site hasn't even shipped yet.. and I ordered it on sunday. They say their orders take 3-4 days to ship which is ridiculous!
Partly my fault for not reading around to see shipping times but after this I will now not give my business to companies who are slow and don't give a fuck.
It's because Latin is the root language for the Romance languages. It's what puts the Rome in Romance. It's also incredibly important to the development of Germanic languages such as German and (shocker) English. So if you want to learn English at a college level, and especially if you want to learn a subject which utilises a lot of Latin like Law, then you do actually need to learn Latin
For Law, it's because of the Roman origins of many of the principles, so, despite having modern translations to the Latin legal maxims (e.g. 'prima facie' is 'on the first view', 'noscitur a sociis' is 'It is recognised by partners'), we still use the actual Latin phrasing. Hell, Law's version of 2+2=4 are the principles of Actus Reus & Mens Rea (fun fact, the latter was never used by the Romans), and we refuse to use the translations here as well. It's typically excused as all being in Latin so that it is the same for every country - US Law will use Latin too, for example - but that doesn't make it any less annoying to learn.
I bought a 65" inch TV for $3,000 (alot I know), but now I've been so used with the size that it feels super small. Should've bought a theater.
