a new small niggling annoyance

fucking toilet water levels

they're always too full and my junk takes a bath every time I sit down if I don't suspend myself above

I need some kind of booster to keep me dry

gameplaya15143 · 3rd May 2007, 23:11

Fat people who drag their wheeled backpacks behind them. Maybe if you carried it you wouldn't weight 473 pounds!

.. and the click-clack noise they make on the tile floors

.. and the fact that putting wheels on a backpack is patented

MidnightViper88 · 4th May 2007, 00:35

I've never seen any fat people drag wheeled backpacks, but I saw tons of people at my old high school, and some at JCC, that have those...They're overly annoying and serve as a symbol of laziness...

My ex-friend (I suppose you would call him an ex-friend, since he went all emo on me and hasn't talked to me in 2 years now

) Justin used to have a wheeled backpack...He got rid of it and just wore a normal backpack, because if it wasn't me or our friends that would kick the backpack over, it would be...everyone else at school...

I can't believe my Uncle Charlie still has a fuckin' ball mouse...

Short of the shitty computers at JCC, I can't remember the last time I used a mouse that wasn't optical...

swingdjted · 6th May 2007, 17:56

I still use a ball mouse on my basement computer; but luckily it works well unlike every other one I have ever used.

MidnightViper88 · 6th May 2007, 18:06

The thing I hate about ball mouses is that cleanliness is the only real thing that can hamper their performance...A suitable rolling pad is one thing, but nothing pisses me more about ball mouses than taking the ball out and seeing a strip of lint and crap wrapped around the tracking wheels...

swingdjted · 6th May 2007, 18:19

The old mice used to get that shit so caked in there that it felt like a bumpy mouse pad, but this one I have here doesn't seem to accumulate anything.

Atmo · 6th May 2007, 18:28

The worst mouse i've ever had to use was one my ex owned when we first started seeing each other. I cant remember the brand, but it was generic. It had two of the four sliders missing, used a ball, and was cordless. Not RF though, it was IR, so the front of the mouse had to be pointing in the right direction to work. Even if you did have it pointing right at the reciever it would make the cursor skip and jump intermittently. It also chewed through AAA batteries like nothing else.

She thought it was fine though...

ElChevelle · 6th May 2007, 18:34

That's not a mouse, it's a rat.

gaekwad2 · 6th May 2007, 19:06

My MX1000.

The battery always runs out at the wrong moment (and can't be replaced), both the painted part and the rubbery sides get dirty by looking at them, and recently it started intermittently turning single- into double-clicks (just wonderful if you want to select multiple files/playlist entries).

(Now wondering what to get as replacement.)

hmm. I love my MX1000. I've had zero problems with it, although it does get really dirty.

The 6000 seems to use the same kind of sticky paint as the Logitech, and the 8000 is insanely expensive (and then there's the non-clicky wheel).
The Habu looks nice but often doesn't even seem to work out of the box.

Canon · 7th May 2007, 11:14

My MS comfort optical mouse 3000 works pretty well.

I've got a couple of MS keyboard mouse combos... I think I paid $30 for each set, just a basic mouse and keyboard.

The mouse is labeled Basic Mouse 1.0a.

The keyboard is labeled Basic Keyboard 1.0a.

Love em. Better than stuff I've paid a lot more for. I've pretty much given up on cordless.

People who create fake million dollar bills and leave them laying around

Fake money of any denomination is goddamn torture to any person that comes across it and goes "Ohh, money!" only to find out it's a worthless piece of paper...

And I'm not talking about counterfeit money; I'm just talking about fake money, look-alike money that have those "messages" and crap printed on it as if it were a flyer...

MS Word when the text gets all fucked up when you're putting a picture in a specific place... I tried changing the layout options, and it still affects the text, even when the pic isn't near the text. Plus I can't get the pic to go exactly where I put it, it jumps somewhere else when I let it go.

Having exams in the sports centre. In my exam yesterday there was a fucking aerobics class in the other hall, and you could fucking hear it from the exam room. I was trying to get my brain around some Advanced Electrodynamics questions, motivated by some twat in a leotard saying "Yeah, push it man" "Yeah, thats it, stretch those legs". Jesus, you think university staff would have a braincell between them...

Having the Flu really sucks.

I already used two boxes of tissues just to keep my nose dry within 2 hours.

swingdjted · 25th May 2007, 10:36

Damn, I feel for you, although last time I had it, I couldn't stay awake long enough to make it 2 hours at a time, I just sorta faded in and out of sleep every other hour.

Feel better!

I'm out of work today because the doc won't let me go while I'm on pain meds - I just got my 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, and yet for some reason, I would rather be at work than here at home. I'm honestly feeling pretty good for only one day after, but maybe it's because of the drugs...

rockouthippie · 26th May 2007, 18:05

I've had the flu too. I thought it was over, but it looks like it took a day off and came back meaner.

Something about dental work.... I dunno about Vicodin, unless you can't sleep. I think drugged sleep sucks, so I usually just take a 4 ibuprofen (the prescription dose) instead of two. A nurse told me that was pretty safe. I think if you are actually looking for a pain killer, ibuprofen works better than Vicodin. At night, I take a couple of Advil PM (ibuprofen and dyphenhydramine). It's better sleep than Vicodin. When I've had teeth pulled, I usually felt better almost immediately. I think the bad teeth are more painful than the extraction site.

swingdjted · 26th May 2007, 19:53

I think I'm better now - spent most of this morning and afternoon sanding furniture for refinishing - keeps my mind off the ache of the missing teeth. Today's small niggling annoyance is the numbness my right arm feels from the electric sander. It vibrated the hell out of it and now it's hard to type.

Isn't it true though that the definition of a word can be (eventually) changed to a different meaning merely based on how it is used by the majority? Like the word fag or Bitch. Centuries ago both of those words held different meanings but now the have changed. The word Motor is now excepted by the general masses as the equivalent to engine. I'm sorry fellas, but the general masses have more pull on words than scholars. I would have to say the induction of ain't, combover, Bling, & Sippycup (I'm not sure if it's one or two words) into the dictionary is prof enough.

Motor is only slang when used in the form of "I was motoring down the highway".
