The Whining and Bitching Thread

God, I'm so fucking tired of those dudes with upper midwest accents doing commercials. This commercial for workbaltimore dat cam that keeps coming on really annoys me.
 
I'm sick of mum watching celebrity cash in the attic. Basically some old codger looking through the family heirlooms for silver ash trays to auction off for charity.
 
Backlight on my ipod burnt out, and warranty from costco ended four days ago. apple store wouldn't trade it, and now i have to call apple and see if they can do something for me. first i'm trying to restore everything on my ipod, but it's taking a lonnnggggg time. :( this sucks.

Apple has god awful customer service, get a Zune.
 
I'm making blanket statements concerning a country several thousand miles wide based on maybe 10 people I spoke with in Montreal.
 
I'm pissed because Canadians don't have awesome accents. They kinda just sounded like normal people.
They do. I don't know about Montreal but in Toronto they have a slight accent. It's gets pretty thick if you hear people from rural areas or from the Atlantic provinces which each have their own variety. It's all about vowel raising and saying the letter a little strangely. To use the classic example "about" sounds like "abowoot" although it's said fast. Also they pronounce the a in "Mario" like the a in "Mare" rather than like "Mars". Of course as with most accents it varies from person to person.

Oh. That's more like it.

Montreal is cool because it's like "Learn French: The City." You can just go around and a lot of shit is in both French and English and the rest is just in French so you kinda pick it up pretty quick.
 
I fucking bricked my sansa e260, to recover it I have to have linux and that sucks ass becuase I don't have linux and recovering sansa on windows is nearly impossible.
 
The headphone port in my iPod has a piece of something stuck in it, causing sound to only come through the left channel. Won't be till tomorrow before I can get my roommate to fix it. At least it's for audiobooks, so it's not critical, just annoying.
 
I've never been there but I've heard only good things. You planning on visiting Toronto as well?

Toronto is far enough away that I'll have to fly (whereas montreal is an hour and a half from my aunt's house in Vermont), so I'll visit if I'm accepted. Same with UoW.
