The Whining Thread

Galbally,

You've been going on about your smilie problem for ages. Just write the BB code by hand.

Tell us which ones you want and we'll tell you how to write them. Variably, if you see one you like hit "quote" and look at the code in the quoted bit.

For example. If you quote this post you will see ": D" (without the space) It turns into green grinning dude.

If you want laughing dude you write ": wah :" without the spaces. Let us help you.

You know, they never have fixed that the smilies move around at times. There are some days in the same spots, and other days could be anywhere.

Oh gosh, red..the dreaded tissue. And it just takes one tiny little tissue too. :-5

I hate it when coffee makers suddenly die.

There should be a red flag that slowly raises when death is imminent.

I hate it when they hand you your change in a shop and put the coins on top of the note, especially devious when they can see your other hand is busy

koan · Post by **koan** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 8:38 am

I hate when you go to buy a new coffeemaker and look all over the store and can't find one then notice one area where they are redoing the shelves and ask the person if they sell coffeemakers and the person says "No.... just these ones" and you find out the coffeemakers are on the ground behind her and she doesn't offer to let you see them then doesn't know how much they are and you have to go push your way in and get them yourself and she still doesn't realise that "No" was the wrong answer.

Here's the ending of the story if I had anger management issues:

So I bought a kettle instead just to **** her off and I took it through the customer service desk so I could complain about the crappy salespeople they have on the floor and told her the whole story about how they didn't have any coffemakers that were sitting on the damn floor and that now I'm buying a $10 kettle and they lost the other 10 I would have spent if the girl had been entirely more helpful then pointing my finger said "and don't think I'll be buying any coffeemakers from here in the near future" then stormed out but the cheeky service rep gave me a bag with a hole in it and now I need a coffeemaker and have to find a buyer for a brand new kettle that's only been dropped once.

Since we are on a coffee kick, I hate it when at Starbucks, the person behind you gets their drink before you get yours!:-5

Galbally · Post by **Galbally** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 9:21 am

I hate at roundabouts when people won't indicate what they are going to do.

I hate that at parties people always ask you what you do before any other question.

I hate that we won't spend 8 billion dollars to investigate the nature of the world, but 290 billion is going to be blown from now to September on a mental war.

I hate that the parking ticket machines never work.

I hate grumpy men going on rants.

Thats enough for now. :wah: :wah: :wah:

I do love smilies though. :-4

Wait. That sounds confusing.

I hate it when the seam in the toe of my sock turns sideways and I have to walk on the seam with the ball of my foot.

Wait. That's still not right. Is it?

I hate when the toe seam on my sock gets crooked and annoys the ball of my foot and my toes keep trying to rearrange it.

Wait.

How did you say to fix those smilies? (INSERT CONFUSED SMILIE HERE)
