stupid first world problems you're dealing with

That Kenyan girl from facebook was really a spy from Hilary's base trying to figure out this whole social media malarky.

Speaking of which, there have been times after I applied for a new job, and in the days leading up to an interview, I get a friend request from some hot European girl. Her profile pic is like, kinda scantily clad but not in a bikini or anything. I never accept the request, because I don't fucking know her, and her only other facebook friends are guys from random states scattered around the U.S. This has happened before more than one job interview and I suspect it's a shitty company's way of spying on your social life to weed out potential candidates.

hard drive is fucking bricked. died in the middle of chkdsk. goddamncuntshitfuckpisshorsecock.

I'd backed up a good chunk of it a month ago so it's not a total disaster, and there is a possibility that a tech might be able to replace the failing parts of the drive and get it working enough to salvage the data, but still. lost somw important stuff and now I gotta schlep around trying to get this fixed.

also my cat spilt an near-empty mug of tea dregs and leaves while I was asleep and it has turned into a hardened crust on my desk. nice.

everything has gone to shit in just a week

- subwoofer died, just got it a year, waranty expired a week

- microwave oven died

- laptop is fucked to hell, for the price to get it repaired i might as well get a new one

- our septic tank is overflooding, pipes are constipated and there is poop and toiletpaper all over the yard, 230 euro to get it cleaned

fuck yououououo

lol I know that feel breh. some days you just feel like everything is falling apart.

wow. I mean I knew that they were interested in candidates social media presence, but that is on an intellectual level, not the visceral one of it actually happening through subterfuge to someone on the board. Even more reason not to use social media that isn't either totally locked down, or anonymous. Mega, should start a g+ type thing.

Sort of first world problem but not for me: both my older and little brother have arranged to get married in the same week, within two days of each other, except in different countries. And there's only two flights a week back from the remote place in Greece my older brother is getting married at, so the timeline's are sorta fucked.

The fallout is, as you imagine, rather painful. Both brides to be start crying whenever the topic is brought up, their way of saying 'I'm not changing my date'. But secretly I am giggling inside...

lol Watching people go to pieces over conflicting wedding dates in peak schadenfreude fodder, especially between sisters.

SURE ENOUGH. "Kenya girl" contacted me again and asked for money help. I unfriended her sorry ass in response.

FWP resolved.

lol you bastard.

you should call everyone together and announce your own surprise wedding for the same week and record the reactions.

I had a client once who got scammed twice by Nigerian 419ers. TWICE!

One's getting married on the 24th, the other on the 26th. That means the 25th is free...

People fly out in person to meet these scammers! And get met at the airport by an armed escort who hold them hostage until every penny of theirs is wired over.

Shit, I know people be desperate but fuck...

Some of my friends were into that shit for a while. I could do nothing but judge them silently and let the phase pass. It was the first time I felt like a dad.

Good thing I didn't let my guard down. May this serve as a warning to everyone else who might get friend requests from seemingly innocent dames on FB. I thought I was safe from scam bait on there until now.

seemingly innocent internet dames you dont know..... from kenya.

FROM Tennessee, IN Kenya. There's a difference.

Fuck it. Might as well coin the term "Kenya girls" out of all this.

now you mention it, i believe i recieved an email from a nigerian prince who originally came from a council estate in slough once.
