My internet decides to stop working every once in a while. It's done that to me too having to meet/do things on Internets and just cuts out.

Sometimes I think to just go on strike on how much I use it everyday, or maybe it just loves to make my life miserable. (or the real reason: the internet company sucks)

Bad timing... So many things come to mind. It's late at night so I'm just going to ramble away:

1. Printer running out of ink somehow when I never print anything.

Sure, parts keep falling out of it and keeps printing when I don't need it to (like printing pictures of bunnies), but why does it always stop working at the last hour before my twenty page paper I forgot that was due needs to be printed? T_T

2. The day I don't bring my wallet when I drive somewhere quickly that's just 3mins away is the day I get pulled over. Thanks broken tail-light! -thumbs up-3. Dropping my card into the smallest crack in the world next to the car seat the moment I need to pay drive-through people. Employees give you the evil eye as you fish

OMG your life must be linked to mine somehow. I've had all those things happen to me. Except with me, it was my train card and it somehow made its way out of my wallet, then out of my bag, then into a gutter. No kidding. The station's custodial staff had to help me fish it out. Thank God it was dry and laminated. It took ten minutes to dig it out, clean it and then press it to the scan bar only to find out it was out of money and had to be topped up at the counter.

Yes, my stuff hates me!

[serenitytouched]

Lol! Oh man that sucks it fell into the gutter too. T_T And then that it had no money! Someone up above must hate you. @_@

[cutecrazyice]

Aww. Totally relating on the umbrella thing. OTL

Petty Issues!

I keep dropping stuff between the stove and the counter. That really sucks.

And I ate, like, half a bag of Halloween candy that was supposed to be for children, and now I'm kind of ashamed. Happy! But ashamed.

Re: Petty Issues!

[missyquill]

Yay candy! Some things are worth the shame! <3

Re: Petty Issues!

[oroburos69]

So ashamed.

*eat peanut butter cup*

...

*eat another one, because the last one was so good*

...totally worth it.

Re: Petty Issues!

[serenitytouched]

I ate a whole bag of reeces pieces bites. T_T I live in an apartment filled with college people so it's not like anyone trick or treats here.

-has no excuse to buy candy- -buys more anyway-

Heh, for me, the bad internet connection is one thing, but what really gets on my nerves is when it chooses to bail out when my downloads are at 99%. I mean, come on, 99%? It's almost like the internet timed itself to close down at the moment where it knew it would piss me off the most.

Hmm, otherwise, it really sucks when toilet paper runs out in public toilets and at home, and I always have to be the one to change it to a new roll. :/

I'm not really an umbrella person but it seems to me that the weather just likes to get bad whenever I'm heading out (like now :3).

[missyquill]

Dude, I carried an umbrella in my bag all of first year of college and never needed to use it (not saying it didn't rain that year, God knows we're well provided for rain in this country). So in my second, I made a resolution not to carry one. *has gotten wet ten million times so far, and we've not cleared December yet*

And word on the internet. *is still pissed off at not being able to watch the latest Desperate Housewives*

[cutecrazyice]

Arghhh, that download thing? Happens to me a lot. A LOT. XD

[serenitytouched]

The toilet paper outage drives me crazy. It's happened so many times I check every restroom stall to see what's "less" dirty but also if they have any darn toilet paper.

[cutecrazyice]

...oh, boy. Hot day + broken air conditioning = I would have melted. 8D

Um. Bad timing? I have a lot of bad timings. Mostly in the romance department. It's too plenty bad timing, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Recent bad timing: I was out in town with a friend, and it rained so hard for around an hour, so we ended up buying umbrellas that were VERY expensive - they were the only umbrellas the store was selling, and it was already late and time to go home.

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WE STEPPED OUT OF THE STORE. GUESS WHAT?

Yup. The rain stopped. OTL

[serenitytouched]

Lol, that sucks. Of course it stopped raining. I hate you nature. -shakes fist-

[saphri]

You really want to know

[saphri]

that was meant to be *AND ALSO DURING CHRISTMAS!!

[serenitytouched]

I like to think there's a decent acceptable time span to getting replies/things fixed.

A week is okay. Two weeks so-so. A month isn't acceptable unless for various reasons. Two months really isn't acceptable. Three months is wowwwwwww. T_T

How do companies like that stay in business? That's such a crap-fest.

[saphri]

It wasn't for the lack of trying that we managed to get the boiler sorted when we did...

I used to ring up EVERY SINGLE DAY and ask them if they had got the part to fix my boiler. I would then be put on hold for hours on end until their office closed... ...

I once spent 2 F**KING HOURS on hold on the phone... sitting there, freezing my ass off and crying into my reciever just desperate for a hot bath in my own house...

It was NOT fun and I still feel a lot of anger and upset when I think about it now. It was truly an awful experiance :(
