Things that frustrate us all

I hope your house doesn't flood. That's no fun at all.

Thanks. I think my little area will be OK, since the rain seems to have shifted eastward.

^glad you're ok!

Now that they all need support they won't accept anything from me and it almost feels like they're pushing me away. I feel helpless.

Maybe you should explain to them how you feel and that it'd be only fair if they gave you a chance to repay a moral debt. Often, when one has problems, one tends to become unaware of others, and they propably aren't even realizing that they push you away.

I've just grabbed my headphones as I'll need them tomorrow and the sound has decided to die on one side

That sucks! Do you have a spare pair?

That gets old very quickly, especially when you’re ill.

I desparately try to avoid that but sometimes the stomach is quicker than the legs. How are you today? Has your inside settled a bit?

Oh, I have...

Right now I'm worried about something a friend said last night but I'm hoping it was just a product of her being drunk.

Something that really does frustrate me, in general: phones are not meant to relay voice conversations anymore. I miss those days! I really, really don't like this texting thing. I'm horribly slow at it and I can't get everything I want to say out and I can't hear the inflection in people's words. I feel like so much is missed because of it.

I get people's phone anxieties, but of all the anxieties I have, talking on the phone is not one of them. I love it!

There's a dead raccoon in my backyard stinking up the place, and nobody will come and take it. Animal control doesn't care unless it's live and rabid, or bit somebody. Fish & Wildlife only takes roadkill.

I'ma have to buy a shovel and anti-stench mask and double-bag it for the trash, I guess. YECCH.

If you have any Vick's Vapo Rub you can dab a little under your nose to mask the smell.

Yep. I figured it was either that or spray the mask with Pine Febreze.

dropped my phone once too many- it's all spiderwebby and waiting for it's chance to cut me. It's 5 years old so I won't have serious qualms about replacing it but it is quite irksome. Yah- it's a 1st world problem but grrrrr.

I learned today that, rather the passive indifference in which I believed that I was regarded, i now realise that it’s actually an active dislike. I considered posting this in the something good thread because I no longer have the burden of pretence, but I’m actually really upset.

Fortunately, I managed to grab some from the shop on the way to work and they seem to be doing the job for now

I'm so sorry.

that is a mixed blessing. I'm sorry this has happened. ughh

What’s a diplomatic way to tell a colleague their code they want me to add features to is hacky and unreadable and without a single comment or unit test?

So...you don't like them but you're upset they don't like you?

If you had to suffer " the burden of pretence, " that would indicate you consider them less than pleasant to be around. Why would you care if the feeling was mutual? File it under "Fuck it," and move on.

I think I've upset a good friend by poking my nose where it doesn't belong.

That is frustrating. Sorry.

The toxicity of online multiplayer.

I've eased back into single player but, niavely, still want to find a good multiplayer experience. I pretty much shoot myself in the foot every time by thinking that 'connecting' with the next online gamer/live streamer/clan will be different.

There are still certain online games that I enjoy. There's such a thing as a mute button and not all multiplayer games require a headset. Toxic gamers are everywhere though. Guess that I don't like being pigeonholed.

I hate that as well. Noticed it in Fortnite, when I was killed before I even had a chance to start fully knowing the controls.
