The Whining and Bitching Thread

It annoys me that I generally agree with the two most annoying people on here, in terms of metal.

I lost my gym card AT THE GYM! That's annoying.

Myself and mL? I would say that troll guy is currently leading us by far, but yeah.

Dot. Far far far.

No, I was always pretty average - my absurdly large size went a long way to cover up my natural lack of ability. It's just not fun playing with people you don't know well.

Reading this out of context =

 

[waif]

You only think that's out of context.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I'm annoyed because I don't have any Arkona.

I was going to take the bus to work today. There is an Express bus which makes less stops and costs an extra $1, and it comes right to where I work. I was at the stop 10 minutes early. The regular #4 came by and stopped and I told him I was waiting for the Express. He left. A few minutes later the Express showed up. It seemed it was not slowing down so I waved my hand at it and it just passed on by. I turned around and waved my arms, but it kept going.

I think I was profiled. My shirt was not tucked in, and I have a 3 inch long gotee. That's messed up! I walked home and called the bus company and filed a complaint, and then asked them how I was going to get to work. They had no answer. They were like, "you say that happened at 6:07, but now it's 6:27". I was like, "I had to walk home". They were like, "If you had called right away we could have stopped the bus or had it turn around". I'm like, "I got no cell phone". So whatever.

filed a complaint?

 

[The Ozzman]

You don't own a cell phone?

I actually meant the boss cats.

 

[AchrisK]

filed a complaint?

Yes.

You don't own a cell phone?

Nope. my wife got one a few years ago to be able to be available at all times for the kid. It was just a local pay up front type plan. When he went traveling to VA last summer we got a national plan which he took. Then when he got back my wife took that phone and gave the local one to the kid. Actually it was for whoever, but it evolved into his phone. I don't need one.

So you don't possess any special skills, either now or in the future, beyond what your wife is able to provide that might be to your child's benefit (or even necessary to his/her well-being) at spontaneous times? I don't mean to be an ass, just to get you thinking.

There was a time when nobody had cell phones. Remember that? I do. We survived. This is the reality that this society fails to recognize or believe. Frankly I think it's pathetic how many people think they need cell phones.

We do trade the phones around when circumstances dictate. But for the most part, I go to work and my wife is home and available.

I feel like you were shaking a cane in the air while you were typing this.
People also survived without [insert any modern convenience here]. The idea is that [insert any modern convenience here] will provide you with additional benefits and opportunity for advancement that you wouldn't otherwise have.

To me it seems the "I'm going to die without it" mentality regarding cell phones only holds any ground with teenagers. Rational people realize at some point that it's just a luxury.

Understood, but the reality is also that all of this stuff costs money. We have to evaluate how important each item or service is to us, and if it fits in within our financial budget. This is why we do have 2 cell phones now.

We have survived on my income for my son's entire 15 years of life, providing him with parenting by his own parents his whole life. I (we) feel that is a priority.

I think it's more pervasive than that. I think our society is indoctrinating us to believe that we all need cell phones, high speed internet, cable TV, new cars, nice houses, and the list goes on.

I reject it!

This is pretty true. 90% of the time I use my phone is inside my house, because it stores numbers that I'm too lazy to remember. It's a really nice thing to have but not necessary, and tbh quite expensive, so if you can get away with not having one more power to you. Thing is, it's becoming a necessity simply because everyone has one and if you're the one guy who doesn't have one no one can contact you and they'll freak out and shit.

I don't have a cell phone.
