The Whining and Bitching Thread

Guess what the fuck happened last night...

My phone wont charge anymore because whoever designed usb ports was a fucking idiot, so i have to take out the battery and charge it in my brother's phone. Last night after I put the battery back in, I was putting the case on. It was dark in my room so I couldn't see and I ended up putting the case on upside down, and the buttons got pressed in such a way that it started a hard reset and wiped my phone. That pissed me off but luckily I got it all set back up without too much loss.

Oh my god I hope you’re ok.
 
Update on my whining and bitching: Got a place in a killer location. Only took 10 interviews.
Random cultural question - from what I've read, most of Germany outside Berlin is super sensitive and judgmental about etiquette / social norms. What's your experience been with that?

Yeah, pretty much. People don't cross a crosswalk unless they've got a walk signal, even if there's not a car in sight. They also don't eat with their hands, though this is less true with young people, and Döner Kebabs seem an exception to this. I've gone out for drinks and burgers with professors there a few times, and I was the only animal not eating it with a fork and knife, whereas my friends my age are more often inclined to ditch the utensils with burgers (pizza not so much)--this however didn't stop my friends from being horrified had ribs once. And if you do things out of the ordinary, they're not averse from looking at you and maybe speaking up, even if it's something like using the large heating element on the stove when you're using a small pot and a smaller heating element is free.

Oh yeah, and if you ever go, sit down when you pee, unless of course there's a urinal.
 
And monoxide_dreams joins the esteemed ranks of my ignore list. Only two other people have been worthless enough to make the cut.

I will sometimes eat foods that are traditionally eaten with your hands with a knife and fork. It is less messy that way.
