Re: aaargh!! I'm not sure. It sounds like a glitch or a hiccup in it. You'd figure... *scratches head* But that's Lithium forums for ya. Edit: Someone just posted again and it loaded right... XD Glad the hiccup seems to be gone, but it's really strange. What could cause it to do that?
Re: aaargh!! Gentle callout: is it really necessary to refer to them as your Asian neighbors? Can't they just be your neighbors?
Re: aaargh!! Today's aargh is on my cousin's behalf. Her oldest daughter was waiting for the school bus and it failed to pick her up - just went right past their house.
Re: aaargh!! I'm waging a small war with my across the street neighbor. He continually puts his garbage out for pickup without putting it into garbage cans. We have a several crows in the area who rip apart the bags and strewn the garbage everywhere, including my lawn. At first I try to be neighborly and just pick it up but after months of this happening, I went over and talked with them. He politely told me that's how he always done it and will always do it. When talking to him, I could see garbage cans in his garage. So I started to dump what ever I picked up back on his lawn but after doing that twice, it felt childish. So I went back and tried to talk to him again but to no avail. So I informed him if the trash came into my property again, I would call the police on him and left. I really didn't want to get to that but they/he is being totally unreasonable. Aaargh!
Re: aaargh!! ^Do you have a homeowner's association? You could report him and then he will receive a fine. That would certainly be a motivator to put the trash in cans.
Re: aaargh!! Can relate. Had that happen once when I was getting ready to go to school and another time when I was getting ready to come back from a trip back to school. So frustrating.
Re: aaargh!! I was told by operations that they didn't order ammo for the ranges next week and to tell my boss, which I did. He got all upset then all of a sudden operations emailed and said they did order it, but it hasn't been approved yet and when I told my boss this he thought I didn't have my stuff straight. I am so sick of those people I work with.
Re: aaargh!! Waaaaay back when I was in school, I had the flip side of that happen. The bus didn't stop at my house to let me off! Considering the next stop was over a mile away, it was frustrating to say the least.
Re: aaargh!! Asians are in my experience always very quiet and polite people and don't cause any trouble. That's what makes this so very unusual which I wanted to stress. Also, as my neighbours consist of some 20 households this was the only way to specify this particular one. Now you point it out I see how this could be misinterpreted as racist but it was actually just intended as a description. Like you might say "the lady with the green hair that sat next to me in the bus" or "my grandpa's friend with the wheel chair"
Re: aaargh!! Right. That's why I said it was a gentle callout. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but here you elaborated and basically pointed to a common East Asian stereotype (that they're quiet and don't usually bother anyone.) I just wanted to point out that it could easily be interpreted in a way you didn't intend!
Re: aaargh!! Aaarrrgh! I'm in much pain today. Last night, I went to visit a friend. As I was getting into my car to leave, a wasp or bee became caught under my shirt! I've been left with a sting and several bites (?). Benadryl and antibiotics were administered at the ER. I'm dopey and hurting.
Re: aaargh!! Completely over it today. The only thing left is a couple of scabs from the sting & bites. I am sure they will be gone in a couple of days.
Re: aaargh!! Glad you're allright again! I spent part of the weekend pruning half of the wall-like jungle my parents euphemistically call a hedge. Unfortunately it comnsists mainly of extra-prickly fir trees interspersed with holly and mahonias. My arms look as if I had a wrestling match with a horde of rabid hedgehogs. The rest of the hedge is due the next dry weekend. Ouchie! Ah well, at least there's no firethorn in that jungle (yet) =)
Re: aaargh!! I would've said "ruin" was too strong a word... but then I saw a post on a closed FB Star Trek group about how conflicts between the fans were killing everything and people were leaving in droves, and left an encouraging comment about how pro- and anti-JJ fanatics could be equally ignored. Except apparently the Big Issue isn't a fandom conflict. The "bad apples" and "trolls" being talked about are -- at least from some quarters and for Frakking Sirius -- gay people. Frakk a bunch of that.
Re: aaargh!! well, I am certainly gay You'll hardly ever find me in a bad or grumpy mood (except for my argh-moments, that is )
