Things that frustrate us all

Watching a two hour and twenty minute movie and everything is fine, but in the last ten minutes, I suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to go to the bathroom.

Why does my bladder always do this to me? Why can't it wait ten more minutes??

You mean in a movie theater, don't you? I think the future could be a virtual reality movie theater, you put the goggles on and you see yourself in a movie theater with plenty of advantages... No big guy sitting in front of you and partially blocking the view, no noisy guy chewing on pop-corns or chatting up a girl next to him. NO KIDS!!! No gum sticking to the sole of your shoe... Plus if you need to take a leak you can always freeze picture.
 
Not long after the giant blizzard of ‘77/‘78 we had a Junebug crop of biblical proportions. It was the grossest thing ever - every inch of the ground was carpeted in Junebugs. Open windows meant a deluge of junebugs. It was amazing in the grossest way. I Imagine the locusts plague was similar. Gaaaaah.

I actually saw a junebug here near the end of March. Seemed a bit too early. They don't bother me as much as the love bugs though.

They're normally with us almost all of May, but this year they're late. I'm not sure if it was the later cool weather that has delayed them or, fingers crossed, the invasion of Asian beetles we had last year may have munch up most of the JB larvae. Oh, one can hope! At least those little beetle bastards would be good for something!

Can't you just copy-paste the link? That's what I always do.

Not when I'm typing a link on my own hosting. I need to type out the URL before the file name.

I suppose I could create a quick text file with the first part of the link, but then I'd have to go back and copy the filename after pasting the pre-file URL. I'm just so used to typing it out manually and only takes a couple of moments.

But the same could be said for normal replies, too. If I'm not looking at the screen and my mouse click in the field didn't register, it's frustrating!
 
When you are trying to post in what is for all intents and purposes a game thread and some keep posting irrelevant stuff that drowns the game and makes it hard to follow.
 
@Kor, one of my supes sent out a company-wide email, informing us that "our shift today has been cancelled. Please refer to the online schedule for your next shift." Except....she left out all the " f " s. :alienblush:


My minor frustration for the day: I have to think up a topic for the next SciFi av contest. I've done so many that I've kinda run out of ideas. Either:
1. People who SHOULD HAVE been on Star Trek. Might be too dull but it would be easy for people without any photo-editing skill.
2. Angels, Demons & Gods. It's been done before but I have TONS of avs for this category. They won't win but I don't care.
3. Your Dream Crossover. Might require a minimal bit of photo-editing from people, or some hunting for one already made.
 
Once again, I’m posting Boston Traffic. I’ve been posting this one every so often since the BBS started. Still waiting for my flying car. Convinced self-drive cars will cure us all of driving stupidity, which I see as the #1 cause for the traffic headaches.
And, Grumpy Cat is dead, too. Hmpf

Not Grumpy Cat. :wah:
 
MOT Test time (for those non Brits, an MOT is an annual check that every car has to go through [I think new cars get an exception for the first 3 years]).
 
When you ask someone for news about a person you care about and they keep talking about someone/something else so you have to hide your impatience and restlessness because it could vex them in which case they might stop talking before getting to the interesting part.
