Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[chronovore]

A pretty asian woman smiled at me today while walking Nami; I think I smiled back.  I can't really tell if I'm smiling unless I'm looking in the mirror.

I'm the same way.  People tell me to smile when i think I already am.  confusing.

I get asked what I'm angry about when I'm just reading email. Not even an angering email.

Niccas had to haul up rocks to build that shit and you are complaining about the website

Work on a tax amnesty case where no one even determined when the taxpayer was a resident of the U.S. brehs. (This matters because of tax treaties.)

Work on a tax amnesty case where the taxpayer was advised that they could file under a more lenient amnesty program when they can't because no one read two whole pages of IRS guidance brehs.

Tax attorneys brehs.

Finally moved all my shit from minus to imgur. It was a nice relationship when it started, but you kept screwing up my gifs and smilies.

Doesn't imgur have a 200 image cap now?

[chronovore]

I'm sick. Caught a nasty cold, so both my birthday party and day out I enjoyed with a visiting Californian couple were marred by coughs, snot, and by the end of the day a 38.2º c fever.

Come ON. This is lame.

[Madrun Badrun]

Sounds like getting old sucks. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I can't remember if I closed the blinds or not when I jerked off.  hmmm.

[Kara]

Spend the morning cleaning up your vomit off the carpet, toilet and bathtub brehs.

Ah yes, my early 20s.

are you fucking with me?



edit: you are. carry on

Actually, no. I am not currently correct, but I wasn't messing with you. The Imgur site a few months back seemed to make a push toward paid accounts, and suddenly only the most recent 200 or so pictures were available on my account. Shortly after this, Flickr went to a more generous model for its unpaid users, so I expected that I'd need to transfer things over to Flickr eventually.

Visiting Imgur just now, it doesn't seem like they kept that policy.

Internet has been really shity for the past few days. While on Skype for an interview my connection went to shit. So I'm in scramble mode to setup my phone all the while the interviewer is seeing me stress out for no reason. I didn't know that my upload was just fine. When I got on the phone I could hear he had invited all of his coworkers in on the fun that was me. He said he'd think about my proposal and contact me later. I feel like I made myself look like a bigger idiot than I usually am.

Comcast is useless and won't replace the 20 year old coaxial cable to the brand new tap they/I paid to have installed.

Problem is on your end, fix it.

[Rufus]

Yup. I also had someone more or less rush into the train ahead of me after chatting a bit, even though we were the only people waiting. I thought it was pretty funny.

[Joe Molotov]

You guys ever see a person from high school and you both have the recognition but you're just like whatever and walk past each other because you didn't really like each other?

No, I'm a very likable person that people instinctively gravitate toward, so I'm forced to do all the avoiding on my own.

[Joe Molotov]

We had a bad history. She once spent a half of a physics lesson repeatedly saying different versions of, "Mr. (Teacher), I understand gravity and all but why don't we like, fall off the earth". And of course the entire class (including me) mocked her

Not even Newton knew the answer to this; it wasn't until hundreds of years later than Einstein's Theory of Realitivity was able to explain it.

[chronovore]

Yeah, a couple of times.

One time was super weird, because I'd dreamed of the guy a couple times in a week, and couldn't figure out why he was cropping up in my subconscious. Then he appeared in real life while I was walking around Santa Cruz. I thought, "Oh, so that's why." But the dude's still a jerk, so I didn't even greet him after we'd noticed each other.

You making fun of someone? Psh yeah right, now tell us the real story.

[Phoenix Dark]

Worse is when said person is a clerk/cashier/teller/etc and you interact with them while totally recognizing them but not saying shit about it. The last time it happened to me I was at Home Depot and the guy who was helping me pick up some mulch was an asshole from HS who got suspended for molesting a chick and getting in a fight with a guy who witnessed the act.


We just had a "hi/weather is nice/looks like you have a lot planned for today/etc" type small talk and I bounced.

[chronovore]

Yeah, that'd suck.

Closest I've had to that is running into a woman that I'd had a crush on since fifth grade. She was waiting tables at... wait for it... The Olive Garden. I had taken a date there, and I was still more interested in our waitress thanks to this years-old crush. BAD FORM.

[Barry Egan]

I like to think my beard serves as good cover for both parties in that situation because we can both pretend I am unrecognizable.  Doesn't work when we're Facebook friends though.

[Positive Touch]

despite graduating from a class of 500+ in a school with over 2000 students, I can count the number of times I've seen someone out on a single hand. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

[Reb]

You guys ever see a person from high school and you both have the recognition but you're just like whatever and walk past each other because you didn't really like each other?

ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME.

Especially back in Saudi, I was in 8 different schools from elementary school to high school graduation. And once you were the kid who was fluent in english you become recognizable.

I'm calling bullshit on this. Why would kids care about your mastery of a foreign language?

P.S. I ignore old classmates all the time.

[Rufus]

That sounds like opposite world to me.

That shit is the worst.

Happened at Subway once. I didn't even remember this girl but she remembered me (the worst of worst). The more we politely discussed our lives since school, her story got more and more depressing. "So did you go to college? Oh that's great!! Yea I went into the military and got kicked out when I got knocked up, but the dad's in jail and has 5 other kids so we don't get any financial help. But once my kid turns 25 I'm really thinking about going back to school so I can quit Subway. But yea, I'm paying off my bankruptcy lawyer now so that's good... So is this your boyfriend? Oh just a friend? That's cool, I lost all my friends when I moved away..."

She still has hope, and not an entirely outlandish hope at that, that's not depressing.

And I hope she makes it too.

After I remembered who she was, I remembered she was a stuck up bitch in school, but she was seriously the nicest person ever when I ran into her. The shit humbled her, that's for sure.

Wouldn't dare to call myself that.

Anyhow, whatever happened to Malek?

[Atramental]

He found himself a girl.

[Madrun Badrun]

Malek got a girlfriend, I believe.  I like to think that when she first kissed him, she broke the curse, and he transformed from a backroom-lawyer back to his original rockstar self.

Well, you're on your way to being one.

Malek's found himself an amazing redhead.

[milchs evil twin]

Ah, awesome.

I always appreciate people managing to leave all this behind.

Honestly, next year it'll be 10 years on GAF. I'm sincerely trying to think of ways to get away from it before that happens.

I think I'm too dependent, though....

[chronovore]

I just ate tacos.I thought they tasted weird, but i ate them as a taco salad and assumed i just undercooked them. I had three.

Checked the date on the box after. They're 2 years overdue.

Drink a glass of extremely salty water, so you can vomit the whole thing back up. You don't want that making it all the way through your digestive tract.

[Kara]

Drink water. Now.

Start massaging the back of your throat. Over a toilet.

[Rufus]

I'm amazed you had 2 year old Tacos. But yeah, you should probably be hugging porcelain right now.

salty water is for chumps.  Just try to deep throat a guy PD would worship 

[chronovore]

yeah i probably should but at the same time, eh

[benjipwns]

I think they deliberately make it so they go extra stale nowdays. "Thinking you can keep these unopened taco shells in your cupboard for years? Fuck you."

Oh you guys are sad too, huh?

[I'm a Puppy!]

Huge shit hurricane developing at work.
Still on meetings.  Meetings being scheduled for midnight and 2am.
Luckily it's not my team's fault. I'm not even mad. I get to watch a vendor essentially picked up by their ankles and slammed to the concrete floor over and over and over again. My schadenfreude is too strong to complain.

[Kara]

The saddest mother fuckers this side of a humanitarian disaster.

[Kara]

Please, I only have major depressive episodes.

And GS is bipolar, not unipolar.

[benjipwns]

DSM-V apparently eliminated what I was diagnosed with. 

[mitchbade]

The depression ride never ends. 

[toku]

I'm mostly angry but I keep it hidden under a mask of sadness.

[CatsCatsCats]

I'm just a poor representation of a real guy, limited by this medium. I'm way better in person.

[mitchbade]

I'm quiet and creepy irl.

I had a girl report me in college once just because I sat next to her. ;_;

I did want to beat that ass up until the room stank tho.

Finished building a product information page. Decided to make the default product the page comes up to be a dinner plate with a rooster in a workshirt and suspenders painted on it. I figured it's important for people to remember that they're working for a company that sells plates with paintings of roosters in a workshirt and suspenders on them.

He didn't shower, generally passive aggressively tried to instigate body contact, and probably had his 3DS on the desk. I'd report him too.

Couldn't we just hook generators to our sewer system and solve the energy crisis? Some engineer should figure that out
