Human beings who fail HARD at driving. Some people have NO right to be behind the wheel if they are past their youth and still have not learned how to drive properly. Save the road for those of us who actually have some god damn skill and a actually understanding of how to drive RIGHT.

Yeah it sounds elitist but I truly feel like driving is something that you should only do if you know how to do it properly, otherwise stick to the bus driven by a professional who proved they know that driving is more than turning a wheel and stomping on a pedal. Im just sick of the functioning retards we let get behind the wheel so they can simply push the envelope of what it takes to get a Darwin award on a daily basis.

Just got last-second sniped on a collection of Albedo comics by Steve Gallacci, the kind of thing that you don't see available very often, including a collection of Gallacci's early pieces in the 'Critters' anthology, Birthright, which is where my character name and interest in the fandom came from. I'm stupidly upset about this.

A two-inch gash in my foot. Moral of the story: If you're going to stick a detached computer case side somewhere, for the love of all that's good, don't stick the bloody thing right next to the ladder of your loft bed! You will step on razor-sharp exposed metal, and the first clue of how badly you've cut yourself will be blood smears on the floor. If it wasn't clean enough to seal on its own with a careful dressing, this would have mandated stitches. Walking around is going to *suck* over the next few days.

Feeling absolutely *horrible* right now, and I can't call in sick. There's no one that could cover the shift today. Nausea, poor equilibrium, resultant insomnia... yup. Fun times. It's going to be a Gravol-and-caffeine day, vacillating between drugged and twitchy.

Gas company is trying to go back on what they said a few months ago. When we paid the deposit ($440), the guys downstairs (who pay 35% of the gas bill) didn't put any money in. Of the deposit, I paid $182 and my roommates each paid $129. What the gas company wants to do is just credit the account with that money.

... So how do I work everything out? If the bill (for a couple of months... as in the warmer months, our usual bill is $46, and the credit would be for $440) comes to us saying $0.00... how does everyone get credited with the amount they paid into the deposit? The guys downstairs didn't even pay into the deposit, so why do they get a break?

I can't make sense of it, it is too confusing, so a few months ago a rep told me that they could just send me a cheque and just to write to them closer to the date it would be credited and ask for that. So I did... and just got an email saying:

"The invoice is on your name, so I don't see how anybody else could take advantage of it and the amount of the deposit will be clearly stated in the invoice. All you need to do is just subtract the amount of the deposit from your invoice and divide the rest between the two of you."

FFFFFFF They didn't even read my email properly, as I stated that there are FIVE of us in two units. The guys downstairs pay 35% of the bill (usually, but didn't help on the deposit like I said before) and the three of us up here pay 65%, but on the deposit I paid more since I had already divvied up the first deposit payment as though the other guys would help and when they didn't, I just paid their portion.

Ugh. Joel pisses me off. If he doesn't have the money he owes me, instead of telling me when he will get it or explaining himself at all, he just avoids me completely. I finally got him to say something... and he is all "I just got paid, but it is only $384. I don't even have enough for a bus pass next month! wah!"

... Ok, so that was just this paycheque. He had one more earlier on in the month. He usually works 5 4 hour shifts a week. That would mean that his other cheque was for the same amount. That is $768. Rent and a bus pass costs $378 combined. That leaves him with $390 left over. What happened to it all? He can buy beer, but he can't pay his bills? Seriously?

He needs to grow up and learn his priorities.
1. Rent.
2. Utilities & Bus pass.
3. Food.
4. Misc.

How do you not know this by now?

no one in Vancouver seems to know the difference between their high beams and their low beams.

[Tef]

Yeah, if only the law gets passed regarding the inappropriate use of beams...so that the legal arm can fine them.

Getting stuck behind an elderly drive who (in the pant of one minute) blocks off oncoming traffic in grocery complex and stays sitting for well over 10 seconds, turns RIGHT two different times while in a straight through lane and a LEFT turn lane effectively cutting people off... on the second turn proceeds to drive in an oncoming traffic lane and doesn't even try to get back in the right lane.. and the coupe-de-gras swerving last minute into a merge lane and cutting me off and coming to a dead stop... How people like this are still alive, forget even driving still, is beyond me.

For future reference on why I have no care/ tolerance/ respect for elderly people, refer to this, though im sure I will have 10 more stories by that point.

Just remember that sooner or later you'll reach that point yourself. I suppose I can complain about hitting thirty in the coming year.

I honestly dread the thought of reaching that point if it means losing common sense and all the skills I have in my younger years. >.=.> I hope by then medical science has found a way to at least vastly slow brain deterioration so I will still know somethings instead of masking my stupidity with over compensating arrogance and having to whip out the "im your elder I know better" card every time someone not of my age group makes a good point or is right about something :P
