Being told to do one thing and then being yelled at for doing it. Seriously, we had a plan then you stopped communicating in the middle of it, then you yell at me and accuse me because I didn't show up uninvitied on a day you specifically told me you weren't able to see me.

Absolutely hate that. If you want something say it. If I ask, confirm, then double confirm something don't come around and bitch at me for not doing something you told me not to do.

The light thing is aggrivating as frick. Apartment with 3 people, two guys and a girl, and we ran over on our electrical allowance for the month. I gave up my mini-fridge (college apartments), unplugged everything except when strictly necessary, switched to battery clocks and the other male did the same. The female? Tv is on, all 3 lights (bed, bath, and closet), radio, mini-fridge (which she refused to give up) and a desk lamp are all on while she's at work. Guess who paid 66% of that bill? This is after getting yelled at for having 'too much on' due to being able to hear my fans out in the living room. (fan, ceiling fan, and computer isn't too much to ask for right?)

Gossiping and being in other peoples business is irritating as hell, and giving away information given in confidence is asking to get your ass beat.

Then again, I assume there is better in this world than college drunks and whores. Who knows, maybe one day I'll actually meet a real woman.

Because its so rare that many of us think its a myth.

One thing I don't understand that I've found funny: why women refuse to move the toilet seat. I'm fine with moving it after being done with it as a courtesy, but the refusal to do it has always perplexed me. You wash your hands after anyway, right? ... RIGHT?!

Why I don't like pink: It screams 'hey you look at me!' kinda like neon orange or sunburst yellow. No thanks, dark colors for me.

Only if 'he' shaves and she is in fact a she. Would this woman also happen to be about yay high -holds hand 4 ft above the ground- and know a lot about mining and live in the mountains?

edit: spelling

I know it's frustrating to have people saying things that sound ignorant to you, but there's a good chance they're saying it from personal experience so you can't expect much more.

I'm not directing this at Melissia but I often get irritated on Dakka when I see people say things like "Wow, people at my school are so stupid", "my town is full of stupid people" etc. Some people seem to think they're superior to other people in their real life and have some kind of elitist attitude. It really just silly and childish, can't really understand why you'd think you're better then anyone else.

Everyone is stupid. I'm nobody and nobody is perfect

Just kidding, I'm as dumb as everyone else.

Man + Man = Usually a handshake, when is it a hug?
Woman + Woman = 99.9% a hug.
Man + Woman... is it a hug? Is it a handshake? Is it a sly wink and a bit of a fondle? (If aint that third one then i've been doing it all wrong...)

Seriously now, what is the norm when a man greets a woman? In today's soceity, when just saying the wrong thing can get you accused of sexual harrassment (from either party), i'd rather not take chances.

For a first meeting its usually a look in the eye and a 'hello'

After that it depends on the person. When meeting up with a female friend the greeting is almost always a hug.

Something about guys being nice to them but not hitting on them or trying to get them in bed. Apparently to my female friends I'm 'the gay guy that isn't' Was never sure as to how I should take that.

Purge it! Purge it with fire!

I'd be slightly worried about your bone mass... Then again mine are overly dense so I guess its to each his own. At 169 pounds while being 5'10 you could count my ribs without trying. Only time in my life I've been 'normal' weight.

No way man, there aint a thing in the world that'll make me go back in there. Besides, I like other people's minds, so comfy.

I agree... Fine we'll give you rights, just stop burning your bras. You, you, and you, here's a m16, a flak jacket, and several other things, you're headed to Vietnam. Have a safe trip. Not what you wanted? You get the whole package ladies, good and bad.

While we're in the battle for the toilet, I'm putting the lid down after I'm done. Now you have to work against gravity too. Whine at it all you want, it won't care.

If you correct for age and occupation, they're the same.

I assume you have a source for that? (for my own, there's half a dozen sites in easy google search I could link to if you wanted).

I would like links that state men make more than women do providing the links are by a researcher of some type (as good of a secondary source as possible, primary would be preferred though likely impossible), show time the individual has at the company, performance reviews, prior experience outside the company, and education of the individuals. There are possibly other factors factoring in for pay as well. Leadership experience depending on the type of job, etc. Also, if its total pay in a year then any overtime or hazard pay needs to be taken into consideration.

Howard A Treesong wrote: Are people now so stupid...

Yes.

@ Melissa. I wasn't being sarcastic or attacking when I requested the data with several different factors in, I would sincerely like to find such sources that have otherwise escaped my searches.

One thing I don't understand. Why do they stay in their room naked but don't bother to lock the door? Then when you knock they yell at you for intruding... learn to at least say 'dont come in' at lock the door. Maybe its just me and my fascination with locking things.

I suggest that you stop what it is that you're doing that causes these "misunderstandings", Asherian. Stop it immediately.

Indeed. If something happens more than once, more than likely it's not being caused by other people.

The teenage variety has a need to feel victimized, its possible he's doing something wrong, but its also possible they're just being typical. We live in a 'poor me im so hurt and helpless' society that doesn't take responsibility for gak. I was once accused of stalking someone I didn't even know and another time for someone I hadn't contacted in 4 months.

I've never had a problem shopping at wal-mart grocery stores... then again they aren't very busy at 3am. I'll deal with the boxes and carts everywhere before I deal with the mob.

If its a dream I have and something didn't die its a weird dream. There was the time I burned to death, eaten alive, pulverized to a pulp, dragged down and strangled, I've been shot in dreams more times than I care to count, woken up lovestruck after getting my legs blown off by a land mine and lying in my own organs for the remainder of the dream... not much bothers me. Though seeing a little blond girl shriek as she was eaten alive was more disturbing than usual, do I get a point for pushing the bloated thing off a cliff and watching it splat in a pool of blood before jumping off myself?

Me and spicy get alone tentatively. I've never cried but I've put down a half gallon of milk off one wing. Don't remember where it was from but it was the hottest they had. Generally I don't do spicy, though some is always welcome.

Kittens are great to watch, so energetic and crazy.

love them more, they tend to stay away for some reason. Mine tend to run from me because they don't like being picked up. Then again some kitty's are lovier than others. Mine, not so much.

The Fortress Monastery is nestled high in the Mountains

Kinda wish i still had one, but then i remeber im still trying to get rid of the hair from the last one

lol yea. After the second kitty had decided to lay down on my first tactical squad I decided they were getting a new home. I'd put up a pic but i cant find it.

the youngest, 1 year old, likes playing with the basing materials though

Code: orange I repeat Code: Orange!
Yes, get the panther squad ready, we have an enemy of catkind that needs to be eliminated pronto! Keep him alive... basement cat is due for a sacrifice...

acoustic or electric?
