Personally, cannibals...well not literally...eating me anyway, eating my soul though. I live in student acom flats and people keep setting off the god dam freaking fire alarm and getting me out of bed at 12AM, 1AM, 2AM, 3AM etc throughout the night.

Got them beat slightly though, I’m now going to bed at 5AM so every drunken student should have passed out on their flats floor by then.

What’s annoying ya then?

What's eating me...

That I can't seem to find a second job and my current job can't give me enough hours to make a decent amount of money. Right now it feels like I'll be in debt for the rest of my life. But I know that's not true...I finally have a car so I can get a full-time job next summer. Hopefully I can make enough to pay off all my debts for a while...and that ends my rant. Sorry.

You've caught a train that's been cancelled? Fair effort.

Having to use film in photography at college.

Fair enough. I'm grateful of the chance to use film and develop my own pictures and learn how to do it the proper way, and I enjoy it.

Plus it'd be a piss poor photography course if they didn't teach you how to do all that.

I just think if they at least bgave us the chance to use digital it would make it so much cheaper for all us studes.

It would appear I've been bitten by the coding bug yet again...

The first thing I thought of is kids that use all the toilet paper, grab a new one use it and set it on the ground... without taking the old one off the roller and putting the new one on! Like it's impossible to do that while their sitting on the toilet.

The fact that christmas displays have now leaked into late september. seems like stores start putting the stuff up earlier each year. soon it will be january 1st starts the new christmas season. Kind of like that Sliders episode where everyone was forced to work in a mall and every day was christmas.

The conflict between my desire to eat the entire contents of my top draw, which contains Oat Baked Bars and Nutri-grain elevenses which are one of my favorite foods and my desire to maintain the quality of my sixpack.

Well I see your plan of not having a sixpack fulfils this desire adequately with little effort.

1. School/Homework

2. Annoying friends.

3. The question of how the universe was made and how it works. I'm a confirmed Catholic but I still question God. To some extent...

Those are the big ones.

The way forum people consist of either people wanting to bitch at you for some reason only they and one or two others can find which they have to look for in the first place or nice friendly people who post in threads because they find them interesting.

Also, did I miss the part during my read of the forums rules where its members are not allowed to post more than a few different threads which draw interest from the community, or is this some unwritten code of conduct I just happen to have missed?

I'm not sure I could reply in any way which would make you feel better. I can't tell if you're genuinely upset or if you're defending some kind of right.

When I see someone creating threads with no real value (in succession) I think they're attention-seeking. You'll see them every now and again; "what's your favourite ice cream flavour?". The poster isn't conducting some kinda social experiment - it's an excuse to be "popular" because your thread gets some attention.

I'm not suggesting that this thread was worthless - it had its moments, but together with a load of other "I'm bored so I'm posting"-type threads, it just smacks of attention-seeking.

There is no rule against this. Feel free to post whatever comes into your mind. You asked what bothers me, I spoke. I'm not a malicious person, and to be honest, my reply was intended to be more humours than venomous (I refer to my Jordan Story Games remark) ...

Being sarcastic actually.

And here’s the reverse opinion:

Quote: "I like these threads, I think they add some positive socializing (well...as close as you can get considering it's the internet) to the forums. - Xander"


Quote: "Seriously dude, 6 threads?"


Sounds venomous to me.

And last but not least, I am never board, toying with people is too much fun. These posts were just my interest taking threads.
