stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My local bus/train fares have suddenly increased dramatically, and it's now gonna cost me twice as much to visit my girlfriend in England. Of course, nothing new is being introduced to their services. They will continue to run late, the staff will remain completely useless, and I'll still have to share a seat with Heroin McPissface. The government are urging people to use public transport, but with the fares increasing this much, it is now officially cheaper, quicker and more convenient to drive. Ridiculous.

look at this horrible creature that walked into the house with me today

i'v seen it around our house the last couple of days, but he just ran straight through the door when i opened it today

he's verry skinny and doesn't want to leave the house at all, he also drinks water from the tap lel

very weird all, i'll ask around in the hood if someone lost it's cat but i doubt it's from someone from here.

who the hell let's an expensive perzian cat day and night out in the frost?

god damnit, and i already have 5 bloody cats (who are piss like hellfuck right now) but LOOK HOW DAMN CUTE IT IS

what an adorable cat! it must be hanging around cus of the food for other cats

we don't put food outside, it came rubbing on to me a few days ago at my door, he sure knows how to pick the biggest sucker for cats

he doesn't move from the couch or wants to go away even tough there are 5 pissed pussies around him, he seems pretty lost and desperate

i'll do everything to find out if it's a lost cat and get it to the right owner but if it's from nobody i guess i could take care of another vomiting hairball

oh man

wololo

he looks like some kung fu wizard

man my cats are pissed at each other 2

^ Noice kitty :3

Ouch, feel for ya man. Being a civil engineer and having worked primarily in the transportation sector over the years, I can assure you that most policy makers are heads-fully-up-ass dumb fucks when it comes to funding transit & infrastructure. Want more people to ride public transit, fine, give them a tangible incentive like say, lower fares. Up until very recently our state's public transit was funded primarily on a gasoline tax, meaning if the authority succeeded in its goal of getting more people to ride, there'd be fewer people driving, less gas consumed and thus less tax revenue The transit authority here has also traditionally been the dumping ground for politicians and connecteds to give their retarded cousins state jobs, though lately they've started to fill it out with affirmative action hires who while fulfilling a quota aren't actually competent at anything.

Bob's FWP - bought the makings for homemade pizza (fresh dough, cheese, veg) at the market earlier in the week - Mrs. Dob & I both work full time, and with two young kids this is a relatively quick, easy, healthy dinner staple. Go to make it last night only to find I accidentally bought fat-free mozzarella instead of the regular. FML, this product should even exist, we'd have been better served topping our 'za with the scrapings from a baboons asscrack

This cat is metal as fuck. Taking him to the vet and getting them to scan for a microchip might be your best bet for finding out who the owner is?

Maybe it's not a persian, just an overgrown normal cat.

Quite majestic however. At least it's not rabid. No chip?

FFS, just had a brand new small table lamp catching fire while I was watching a movie. The lamp was already a replacement for another one I bought two days ago but just stopped working after an hour.

FWP: entire house smells like burned plastic or whatever it is.

edit: FWP2: I'm not living in 'Merica so I can't just sue this company and get instantly rich.

well you're lucky that you were there while it happened.

arguing with my brother about why Ayn Rand is both morally and intellectually vapid, as well as why true free markets can never exist.

He's truly bought into the libertarian bullshit about "big government".

i'm just about at the Dr Strangelove phase of "Mein Fuhrer, I CAN VALK!!!!!"

how can I grow a beard?

by not doing anything

^yarp.

Latest FWP - after parking one of our vehicles at work in our garage before closing, I hit my right knee on a jury-rigged toggle switch for turning the heater on and tore a hole in my jeans, drawing blood in the process. Turns out the last employee to drive it moved the seat too far forward.

I only bought the jeans about a month ago and it was the first rip.

Lying here on Tapatalk in a hostel room in Frankfurt. Supping bitburgers and warsteiners while waiting for the rest of the group to awake. I'll be pissed by the time they wake up.

The main problem, one of the girls was a paramedic and said the smell we are experiencing smells like a dead person. Can't say that's good. Can't swap the room either cause we need a private one - 6 peeps.

my dad just asked me if I was gay because I don't have a girl and I've said I don't want to get married.

lol

I have also had this question. I replied 'not that I know of but I will check'.

well for me, it kind of went like:

me: "yeah, I'm gay."

dad: "... really? really now"

me: "yeah."

mum:

dad: "I mean really now"

me: "what makes you think I'm gay?"

dad: "because, you know, you're my son, and..." *incoherent mumbling*

mum: lol

me: "yes, I'm your son. so?"

dad: "well, you know, I just thought we should be frank about it"

me: "frank about what?"

dad: "you know..." *flustered noises*

mum: "he's not gay, you fool!"

me: "I like girls. girls with big butts. ok?"

mum: :facepalm:

"Because you're my son, so..."

So your dad is gay?! So much drama! lol

You're living in a 1990s American sitcom, mayne.

Yeah I hate peer pressure to get hitched. Bottom line is you gotta do what's right for you.

It got to the point where I stopped mentioning the prospect altogether because I kept getting hounded about it.
