Woah, perhaps you were a bit too hasty. Those VCRs are gonna be worth something someday.

A little late on commenting but that's fucked up. I don't even like Oreo's and I liked them after posting that!

How every fucking time someone learns you've been in a physically and/or otherwise abusive relationship they ask "what's wrong with you? why would you stay?" or something along the lines that places the blame squarely on you. Cause it was just as simple as leaving, right? No threats, no literally being trapped somewhere, no intimidation, etc. I was just dumb and put up with it for 3.5 years for the fun of it right?

Grrrrrr.

I've got no AC at home, and no AC in my car.
We have AC at work (I'd rather be at home then at work).

Math, because 99.9% of people will never need to know how to do this in real life.

(-12p^2-8p+14)–[(-3p^2-11p+15)+(-12p^2-5p-19)]
= (-12p^2-8p+14)-[-3p^2-11p+15-12p^2-5p-19]
= (12p^2-8p+14-[-15p^2-16p-4]
= -12p^2-8p+14+15p^2+16p+4

=3p^2+8p+18

what language is that?

Calculus?

At least that's what it looks like from when I sit.

Of course it's been 20 since I've seen calculus.

Even then I never did it all that well to begin with, so I'm not completely sure.

That problem was from my buddies pre-algebra class, I was trying to help him but I barely passed algebra. Right now taking an accelerated statistics course (8weeks), we're in week four right now and just began chapter seven of a ten chapter book - its pretty intense. Right now I have an 85% so can hopefully pull off a borderline 70% and be done with math forever

Here's another problem for example: xy -8y -7x -56
=(xy-8y) + (-7x -56)
= y(x-8) -7(x+8)
=(x-8)(y-7)

To be honest, I think learning a foreign language might be easier than any upper level math. Also like learning a language its not useful if you live someplace where everyone speaks English.

QFT.

I should have known, a reduced equation.

Again, its been 20 years since my last real math class.

Random Student in one of my Classes: Hey, you've got a good camera right?
Me: Yeah...
Him: Can you take a photo of me beside this thing for me...
Me: Uhh.... No.

Just because I have a camera, doesn't make me a personal photographer to you.

I get this at school a lot.

Annoys the crap out of me.

Like get your own god dam camera.

I get pissed off when people think just because they have a nice camera, they're above doing favors for people who don't own one.

Keep in mind who's doing this.

My neighbor is a selfish asshole. I work night shift 1 week out of the month, I don't sleep well during it anyway, but I was sleeping, for once, and what does he do? Hauls out his bass guitar that he bought with welfare money, basically my money and turns it up as loud as it would go, while I am trying to sleep. He knows I am on nights. He saw me leave for work last night and the previous two before that.

I plug headphones into every fucking thing I use around this house, I always have, so my stepdad went over and asked him to please do the same with that thing and the first thing this asshole starts with is calling him a cocksucker.

I can't wait till Wednesday. He is getting Beethoven at full volume for 36 hours straight to see what I go through.

When you come to the realization that a friendship you've had for the past 15 years is about to come to an end because of their greed, selfishness, and entitlement. What is wrong with people?

My grandpa purchased this watch on a KLM flight from The Netherlands.
http://www.s-w-a-p...odels/swap-active/
From what I've read (which is very little) its a phone/watch/radio/video camera/ camera/ect.......

In concept maybe a great idea, but I rather have an iphone or something similar that can do all the exact same shit 200000x better. The watch cost him 240 euros ($300 USD), pretty pricey for what it is. From my perspective if I was going to spend 240 euros on a watch, I'd just buy a really nice "normal" watch - all the features are rubbish.

Anyway, he keeps bugging me about it. He'll come over and just sit here for a fucking hour while I repeat the same thing to him 20x. Its like explaining something to a 5yr old, only I'm pretty sure a 5yr old is smarter. Yesterday he came over and was asking about the sim-card, so I tried to explain that you need to buy a card from a cellphone provider (a prepaid card should work). Without a card the watch pretty much useless, doesn't tell time or do anything, just says insert sim. Then today he comes over again and says "I was reading the manual and I think we have to register it with the company for it to work." So I explained it to him again. Then I decided fuck it lets just register it, so we register it but as expected the watch still says insert sim - frustrating to say the least. And I'm pretty sure hes going to call me 2-3 times today about the watch.

In the end he's my grandpa so I have to show respect and I try to help him out as best I can. In reality I want to just throw the watch against the wall or take a hammer to it.

Ugh, I know how you feel, I had this friend whose dad i somehow ended up helping set up his computer, so he kept leaning over me and i would explain everything and he would complain about me not setting it up the way the idiot at future shop wanted, and i'd tell him we could set it up that way but it would require more equipment, this way it would be easier just having it al directly connected. Everytime he was wrong he wouldn't just go "hmm ok." he'd go "well son i guess they must have changed how these magic machines work."

I live with this.

My parents are cell phone, television and computer illiterate.

Two of my best friends in the world are EXTREMELY computer and cell phone illiterate. The only good thing about my friends is that usually I can teach one of them and he will teach the other.

My parents are just lost.

I gave up helping anyone.. it was raising my BP too damn high, and you know once you just let go and let them fumble on their own it's kinda liberating. I no longer get random calls on workdays like "I messed my computer up come over and fix it please".... "dude it's 1 am".... "ya, so?".

Round 2 with my deadbeat neighbor. This time he has his asshole friends over, he has 2 hours, then I call the cops. We have a noise ordinance in this town that says they have to shut the fuck up at 10 pm.

I really wish they would get jobs and pay for music lessons, they fucking suck and only know two songs which they won't stop playing, neither are very good. One is Wipeout and the other is Du Hast.

They don't realize some people work so welfare can pay their bills.

Addendum: They shut up about 5 minutes to 10. I go to bed at like 8-8:30. Still drives me crazy because these people work maybe 20 hours a week only because they are made to.
