stupid first world problems you're dealing with

People who don't flush should be drawn and quartered.

If there is one life lesson that should be instilled into every child as soon as they are old enough to understand it is thus:

"Leave a toilet as you would expect to find it."

Sadly this logic seems to have escaped a certain sub-set of lower tier humankind, who firmly believe it is their right to defecate in/desecrate any communal toilet facilities they may stumble into on their miserable path through life without consequence. Abhorrent behaviour.

The room we have at my job to host writing workshops actually has a sign that asks people to leave it as they would expect to find it. But after one of those workshops, that's mainly attended by feminine students, there always are sheets and tea bags all around the table. I have to take care of this every time. Not only they seem not to care about leaving a room clean but those people that attend FREE workshops about WRITING apparently aren't even able to READ the fucking sign.

What's even more infuriating is that we also host workshops for teenagers and young adults in rehabilitation programmes who DO leave the room pristine. They also are quiet.

Damn I really want to hit those spoiled chicks in the face.

Don't worry, the type of erk that they would go for as a boyfriend probably already has. They even no doubt have fallen down a stair or two in their time.

Or

This is incorrect and they carry on with a charmed life oblivious of concepts like responsibility and justice, at least when it's them creating the mess, because all people like this are hypocrites.

my google search results come back in huge font size in firefox.

Ctrl+mouse scroll wheel. Maybe it remembers one time where you made the search font bigger, like to zoom in on a picture without pressing into it to display the result, eyebrowraise.gif

No mouse, and no pinch and zoom. It just started suddenly this morning.

Painful. Maybe it's a new feature heh.

Getting married next year, the missus' family is split by numerous feuds - parents separated, dad used to be a twat but is good now but mom's family hate him, dad's new family is totally blameless but might feel awkward, stepdad is an all-round miserable cunt who might start a fight for no reason, step-uncle is generally very nice but hates dad, stepdad and randomly hates a great uncle too, grandad is nice but might say something racist, several drug addicts on mom's side who might turn up off their tits on smack or just steal things

 

 

So do we painstakingly pick-and-choose who to invite, to avoid bad feeling? Or just say fuck it, invite them all and just let them get on with it?

 

 

PS you're all invited WATMM

I'd say just call off the wedding. Her DNA line is obviously not destined for great things.

lol

The first world problem's thread is 400 pages longer than the successes one. And to find the successes one, I had to go four pages back into the forum history.

So little satisfaction to be had...

Or we don't celebrate our small victories in the way that we whine about our tiny losses. But yeah, there's a lot of suck and it's nice to vent.

Must be google fucking with firefox - cause they went with Yahoo as their default search provider.

Google works fine in Safari - just hideous in Firefox.

ahhh fml, is there a good adblocker for safari? I don't even see youtube ads with ABP...

I threw my back out and now I'm having some of the worst pain of my life (since I had a giant tube shoved into my urethra all the way to my bladder when I was 10).

looks fine on firefox for me. on my phone (android), on my ipad and on the PC (firefox, chrome, whatever)

No ABP for ios, only osx, damn. I thought i found one the other day when i was having a look which was on itunes called adblocker.

Elektron's "black weeks" sale is ending on monday and I have no way to get $1444 together in order to buy a monomachine before then, when they go back up to $1699.. well, I do, since payday is tomorrow but I won't be able to eat for a month unless I sell some other stuff

I seem to be at a near all time high for irritability this month, not sure why. Also, my cat's breath smells like the area where the sewer meets the ocean, but I still allow him to lick my nose because it's adorable.

There is a lot of rain in SF right now and I'm worried that my Cactuses/Succulents are receiving too much water.

The smallest size you can buy alpro is actually pretty large and it always goes off way before I can use it. Why don't they do smaller cartons?

Just lost a load of overdubs I was doing because Cubase is a janky piece of shit.

Ordering a small package from UR / Submerge is way too hard. It took three weeks from ordering to the items actually being sent and another two weeks for it to arrive. But the worst part are the costs: a shirt + two 12"s it was $30,- + $30 shipping costs + it was taxated at the border so was just billed for another $30.- on top.

i have too much food

I just saw a video of the "worst storm in SF in decades" and i loled.

Pulled a muscle in my back at work. Not bad enough to stay home, but bad enough to feel shitty at work.

I went to a work party last night and sang "New York Town" by woodie guthrie after the host handed me a guitar and asked me to play. I got to the verse about "I can get more lovers than the civil war set free", sang it, and realized the host (president of the company) has an african wife and a black child.
