The Whining and Bitching Thread

People on buses tend to be trashy anyway. Trying to dodge bus fare, talking about their latest gang rape, selling coke, etc.

That's what wall-of-sound music production is for

Oh nooooz, teeny-tweeny cunts are so scary.

It wasn't that. I know chavs (or neds as we Scots call them) aren't a thing in the US, so, to you, it probably does make me sound like a huge pussy that I didn't say anything. But I know their type all too well. I went to school with people like them and I see them all the time. If anyone had confronted them, they would have got worse. I know that for a fact. They would still be annoying everyone but they would be focusing on that one person in particular. I didn't particularly want to spend the rest of the journey with them directly in my ear, asking me dumb questions and kicking my seat. Arguing with or threatening them would have just gave them more fuel.

Also, the bus was full, so it wasn't like it was just me who felt this way.

 

[Cronopio]

The driver got to them first and told them he'd kick them off the bus if they didn't shut up. Fortunately, they complied. And I'm pretty sure they would have just singled out anyone who said anything to them, which would have made the situation a lot worse for that person.

Good that that got sorted out, then.

Sales is a job. A slimy job, but a job nonetheless.

I am not contesting that.

Hehehehehe neds. I love that term!

I bought new lowering springs for my RSX through a distributor on eBay, which isn't a big deal because they come as a set as I'm sure you guys are aware. So, I'm installing them yesterday, I get the rear springs installed in no time, easy peasy. I installed the front left with no problems, but once I got to the right front and I go to set the spring over the strut and the bottom part of the spring won't sit correctly/flush, however you want to look at it. After about an hour of semi-panic trying to figure out if I accidentally installed the wrong spring on the right front and trying to convince myself I know I did it right (this isn't the first time I've installed springs or a whole new suspension but I thought maybe I got complacent or something). Well, after doing some investigating on Skunk2's website and comparing that with the picture I took of the springs right out of the box, they're different. Essentially what happened is, whoever packaged the spring set at Skunk2 put two left fronts in the box. To say I was angry about this would be an understatement of the century. I'm also angry at myself for not noticing before I started installing them.

So now, my car is tore apart and out of commission while I work with this distributor to fix the problem. And what makes it worse is I have a date tonight and this is the second time in a row that I've tried working on my car and either fixing or changing something before a date and I had to park it tore down. The first time my Buddy Club coilovers needed refurbished because the damper screws broke off on both of the fronts which I was even more pissed about. Anyway...

Picture from Skunk2's website. Notice how the larger springs, i.e. the ones for the front, wind in opposite direction.

Picture of springs straight out of box.

Ugh.

That really needs a tl;dr version.

Installed new springs, turns out I was sent the wrong parts, now I can't drive anywhere until I get the right ones. FML, and FS2.

There.

Myself I'm having troubles with ants. I sit down on my chair and they start going around like crazy and it looks like there is no meaning to their occult dances. Now I have some experience with this species so I know that when you squash one, two come and mourn like faggots. When you squash them too, you already got yourself a burial ceremony of gypsy proportions. So I left the room. I think I haven't been followed but PSSST.

I just have to bitch about something.

So yesterday I was offered to cover a friend's dance gig, but she told me only 30 mins before showtime and I live quite far from the place. So, instead of getting there late, I told her I couldn't do it and to let me know if she ever needs covering in the future in advance so that I could have time to prepare and whatnot. She texts me this morning about a dance event happening where it's open dance. I told her I was interested knowing that it was unpaid, just to hangout have a little fun and see some awesome dancing. So after spending some time getting ready and packing my costume to attend, I get a text from her saying that there's a $15 cover for all dancers. This cover is used to pay the musicians, is what I was told. Now, I am all for musicians getting paid but that is total bullshit. Why should I pay for the musicians, when I myself am also a "starving artist" preparing costume, energy, makeup, and my time to come out and do a free gig. You don't go to a new restaurant and because you're new expect them to give you their food for free so that you can try it out or whatever. You pay the price and you take your risk.

I've done a lot of shows for free acting gigs and dance gigs because it's good experience. However, if I am required to PAY to PERFORM that is where I draw the line. It's totally taking advantage of people. Those who come to that event are coming to hear music and see dancing. It shouldn't be the performers responsibility to pay for each other, that's ridiculous. Needless to say, I wasted my time getting ready to not go anywhere. Blahh.

Not really, I haven't bought sex toys in a long time.

At least you didn't pay to play, as we call it in the music world. Sounds like some Grade A boo-shit.

I have some dumb butt/leg pain. The Internet suggests it's sciatic pain and that I just have to deal with it and stretch a lot and hope it goes away. I should go to a doctor.

I may give up debating theology and other supernatural crap for good. How I still have to explain to people that lack of complete knowledge of the universe is not evidence for supernatural phenomena is infuriating.

Edit: It's also annoying when I talk to people and civilly, tactfully voice why I don't believe in anything supernatural and they act like I must have a sad view of the world. I'm not the one who needs to think that there's people who can see into the fucking future or talk to dead people in order to find the world interesting and pleasurable.

RSX bitching

Not really, I haven't bought sex toys in a long time.

On that note: I am the owner of a black 2002 RSX Type S with high mileage (200k+), as close to mint of an interior as you could expect with that kind of mileage, but in need of some basic tune up work, and hopefully only in need of an AC charge and not AC repair. Getting that checked tomorrow. If it needs repair expect me to start #$%^$ in here.

Rain has prevented me from riding my bike outside after my workout. Lame. There goes my cherry on top of an awesome workout.

I'm absolutely shocked -- *shocked* -- to learn that there are still christians in the world. Someone up top needs to hear about this.
