stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Absolutely! And that whole thing about not saying "no" like @J3FF3R00 mentioned is a real thing. I can certainly understand why parents thing it's tough raising a kid when they don't tell them "no".

yikes, there's a difference between discipline and punishment

sorry your friend is raising a douchebag. personally i'd just tell the kid horrible lies to give him nightmares. "you know how I know?...because... i was that murderer."

Well, you reap what you sow.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Waldorf School Method that seems to be their way of living.

could be, though I've known people who went to Waldorf schools that weren't tantrum-prone slap-magnets... fwiw, my cousin seems to be raising his daughter with the 'never say no' style as well, and she's a goddamn menace. instead of discipline, she gets asked 'why did you do that?' (duh, because she wanted to) and after giving a feigned apology, she is told how brave she is for saying sorry. she's 8.

oh yea, SFWP: i finally found a listing for an amazing apartment that'd be perfect for me, emailed the LL, got a quick response, and in my reply i misspelled her name. haven't heard anything in two days. autocorrect out here just casually ruining lives.

Just write a quick reply that says, “I just noticed that my autocorrect misspelled your name. Sorry about that! Happens all the time to me.”

It’s an easy way get her to respond to both your emails.

If a client doesn’t get back to me I’ll write them a couple of days later with some nonsense like, “oh i forgot to mention…” and then some nonsense that’s not really important.

But would you really want a landlord who'd reject an applicant because of a typo?

Give her call then. It's so fucking annoying when people ignore emails.

Haha, cheers - I've missed providing them.  Obtaining a gf has gotten in the way.  Now when I'm not working or making music we're spending quality time together, or I'm catching up with other friends.  I do miss having an abundance of free time to waste at my leisure.  Glad the landlord got back.

As I've posted on here previously, in the past I have bought tickets to 8 concerts, yet only been able to go to 2 of those concerts due to competely random and annoying shit popping up, it's therefore been just under 3 years since I last went to one, so this morning I was pissed off about this and decided to look at who was performing in Nottingham since winter break is almost over and I'm going back to uni and my god it's actually depressing and laughable. I've been put off now. Never going to a concert ever again.

My hair was getting a bit long so I let my friend cut my hair (he's given me good haircuts in the past) and my days he fucked my shit UP i look hideous gonna take 6 months until I look normal again

pics or stfu...

anyhow:

I'm at Starbucks and the coffee next door has a cover band singing that awful song from the cranberries, zombie...

now they're playing oasis...

off topic: I never order the right drink at Starbucks... I don't know what most of the drinks are... mocha machiato frappuccino etc... everytime I order frappuccino it comes practically frozen so it's impossible to slurp it with the straw...

sorry, haven't been around and I'm quite bored atm so that's why I'm posting mostly shit...

nvrmnd I'm not fooling anybody with this, there's no apparent reason to why I only post shit...

when people ask me what music is that that I'm listening to or that I'm into I simply reply, shitty music, it's the best answer... just try it...

i would still go next door to get the coffee there because starbuck's coffee is like tar and burned camel shit ground into paste then hot water is filtered thru it in a cup. 

My old landlord is trying to fuck me over. He made a bunch of promises when he needed my help, puppy-dogged me on the phone acting all apologetic that my lease had to end (situation was outta my hands - and entirely in his), asked me if I could move out early, he'd help me financially if so, that they'd reimburse me for repairs I've done, they'd let me keep stuff in the home for a few months after I was gone (no other tenants are moving in), I'd get my full deposit back no questions asked etc. I told him I wanted all this in writing, he said he would, never did, ignored my calls for weeks at a time, ignored my emails, etc. So finally I wrote it all out myself and said "please confirm our prior agreements, and let me know if changes need to be made to what I've written." No response for weeks, full voicemail inbox.

He's gone back on *every single one* of those promises. And I did move out early. Costing me a goddamn ghetto fortune. 

Yesterday he called -- I'd been asking him to email me for weeks -- and told me they'll have to charge me full February rent (I was out on the 7th). That was the *first* thing he said.

In my entire life I've never popped off on someone like I did with this fucker. Eventually he hung up on me. I mean, I would have hung up on me too. I called him out, called him a manipulative, incompetent, lying fuck that has no business doing his job; that his co-workers all hate him (that's true, they've told me), that the neighbors want to sign a collective letter about how angry they are about my leaving this place (I was a park caretaker), that if he doesn't live up to his word I'll be writing a company-wide email telling the entire story of how he botched this project, fucked me over, fucked the park over, and lied to get his way and is now weaseling out of his responsibility. If I had been with him in person I probably would have punched him in the mouth. 

So yeah, he hung up on me. I was fucking furious, I don't think my mind even knew what was coming out of my mouth. The part about his co-workers hating him really upset him lol, and I admit, that was pretty brutal, but seriously, fuck this guy. I tried to help him and he is absolutely fucking screwing me out of thousands of dollars.

It has been roughly 48 hours now and I’m still having pains unless I’m laying down in bed. I’m not sure what is wrong but my best guess is that I have a hernia maybe? I’m pretty upset I didn’t get a diagnosis at the ER. 

go to your primary care doc or see a urologist. could be kidney stones or something. or a bladder infection etc. but i guess if they did blood tests and ct scan??? then idk man.. urologist would be my guess of who to go see. 

I hate mobile sites so much... fxck off http://m.xxxxxxxxxx

God, I'm such a softy. I honestly feel bad about blowing up on that guy on the phone. I don't want to hurt people, and it's so rare for me to do that kind of thing... when I get legit angry I go straight for the jugular and guilt plagues me for months to years. It's not who I want to be. Ugh, I'm just so sad about losing that place, I really care about it. Being misled was just too much for me I guess.

i understand the feeling. i have to restrain a mean streak sometimes but once in a while it's best to let it out. it's a fine line. i think he deserved it and probably needed to hear it. sounds like a person who is being let off easy all the time because of his position. so, i bet there's numerous people in your corner saying "finally, someone told him off".  i get the guilt you feel but don't hold on to it. forgive yourself the outburst and move on. you've given that guy enough thought already.
