Please share your struggle of the day

[G The Resurrected]

Picked up my father in law from jail, only to bring him home again! 

Family sometimes really sucks.

[Positive Touch]

nothing specific happened, just years of getting plagiarized from ppl who can turn their tweets into profit, plus never-ending attacks from conservative dipshits, 4chan scum, and reddit trolls.

[lennedsay]

Some of our friends are naming their daughter the same first name as our daughter and almost the identical middle name. And then acted like they just came up with it. No, you came up with it when you checked Facebook and saw a post that my kid won't fall asleep until her nails are painted orange.

It only took me 30 years but I finally have completely irrational pissiness in true girl form. Next step: using my period as an excuse to break shit and eat ice cream.

[Brehvolution]

My wife's friend has a Brayden, the friend's husband's sister has a Jayden, and the friend's brother has a Kayden. I guess it wasn't planned and it doesn't seem that weird of a coincidence to them. 

[Brehvolution]

It may be Braiden. Not sure. They all sound the same.

[lennedsay]

I could almost understand if it was a really common name, but Evey Shea and now Evey May? C'mon. The jig is up.

[Madrun Badrun]

Fuck it, I'll just put my fingers into the pickle juice.

Drive-through window experience from the other day.   This was a humorous struggle, I suppose.  The guy sounded just like Jeremy Piven and when he said "THIS COMPLETES THE ORDER," it was more of a statement instead of a question.   

Clerk: CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER?
Me: Yes, I'll have a #3 combo, but no-
Clerk: SMALLMEDIUMORLARGEANDWHATTODRINK
Me: --Uh, no mayo on that and iced tea.
Clerk: THISCOMPLETESTHEORDER
Me:  no, I also want to get a #10 combo with-
Clerk: SMALLMEDIUMORLARGEWHATDRINKTHISCOMPLETESTHEORDER.
Me:  Um, medium combo with unsweet tea.
Clerk: THISCOMPLETESTHEORDER

Then at the window, he goes "OOH IS THAT A TACO BELL DOG YOU HAVE THERE? TACO BELL DOG! (Looks at co-worker) TACO BELL DOG!"

My wife said I couldn't stop laughing!

[I'm a Puppy!]

Should've asked him his gaf name.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Gotta go to LA next week for a day. Client is a ways away from nearly every airport.

Drive in LA traffic brehs

[Phoenix Dark]

My mom made a late night stop 20 minutes ago to drop something off. We talked a bit and then she sat down and turned the TV on and said "so, want to watch something?" I lied and said I was about to go to bed, but she started randomly selecting channels...and eventually got to the HBO channels....and stumbled across The Super Sex Program (which is still on btw). Soft core shit with Mary Carey.

During one of the sex scenes of some girl getting plowed my mom said "this is porn...wow." I casually said I didn't believe they were having sex - it's pretty obvious no penetration is going on - and my mom turned around and asked how did I know.
 

I reached into my pocket to pretend to get a text and realized my phone was in my room.
 

she left shortly thereafter thankfully

[Tasty]

Pretend your mom doesn't know you watch porn or have sex brehs

[Phoenix Dark]

Nah it's not that. It's not a conversation I'd want to has with my mom lol

[Tasty]

Hahahahaha holy shit. I can't even imagine. Wow.

[Tasty]

And unlike Lisbeth you can't take a revenge-W later on

[Human Snorenado]

Stupid puppy won't pee, so she sleeps in the crate tonight

[Tasty]

My mom has made several awkward jokes about me remembering to pick up condoms, lol.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Also, for as many struggles as I do have, lack of regular sex isn't one of them.

[close]

[Phoenix Dark]

Stop it breh. I've endured far worse than that.

When I came back from school on a break i saw Girl With a Dragon Tattoo with my mom.

In theaters.

Had no idea the scenes were coming.

(Image removed from quote.)

I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the theater with my mom, which includes a crazy sex scene out of nowhere but yea...your situation was far worse.

[chronovore]

I’ve been in the USA since November 4th, from Seattle to Boise to San Jose. It sure was nice meeting up with Seattle-Bore, though I honestly expected Treesong to have a little more girth by now. You’re a married man! Start eating like one! Thanks again to Cruncheon and Mr. Gundam for paying for my delicious times at the tap room!

Going back to Japan in less than 48 hours. Looking forward to seeing my family and sleeping in my own bed after two months of being away, and getting back to work.

I am, however, unhappy about how beer is going to increase 6- to 7-fold in price, good hamburgers 12-fold, and missing all my American family and friends. 

[Human Snorenado]

All dat sushi tho

Mayo 

[Human Snorenado]

I watched Wyatt Cenac's most recent stand up special, and he was talking about how gentrified Brooklyn is getting. His final nail in the coffin was a specialty mayo shop.

[Madrun Badrun]

How can anyone not like mayo. It's fat and creamy.

But anyways I'll share a recent struggle.

I got to know a cool person through WoW. She was similarly dorky like me but when she chatted with a mic she seemed cool/funny enough that I began to like her a lot, interesting person, really fun to chat with, etc. For 5 or 6 years I've been very reluctant to chat to anyone at all on the internet, so this was a change for me. It felt weird to have such engaging conversations about random stuff, but also fun. Talked about dreams, aspirations, career paths, but usually light-hearted in-game WoW-related shit.

The struggle part is I quit WoW and that's basically the end of that. I remember she mentioned having the dorm kitchen all to herself one day and baked a ton of cookies. Well. I recently made cookies too. But now I can't talk to her about dem shits.  So I got back on to get her contact info.  It progressed from instant messaging to skype until finally one day we decided to meet in person.  And that's how I got raped by a 280 pound, 45 year old balding cac.

 

I like my story better.

[Phoenix Dark]

And to think I was going to make a joke a few days ago about nerds telling people they "know" the guy who wrote Book Of Eli.

I hate it had to be you, Walrus

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya.  My policy is if someone even sees me browsing a forum over my shoulder, their name goes into a list.  If I ever become a politician they will need to be dealt with.

[Mupepe]

The girl that has been flirting with me at the grocery store just dropped that she is in high school randomly in a conversation today. Welp. There goes my twice a week feel good "I've still got it" conversations.

[Madrun Badrun]

Sounds like someone is make a preemptive evidence post so that you can say later 'see totally wouldn't touch that.  Are you sure this thong isn't yours?'

[I'm a Puppy!]

I have to do 3 demos next week.

I'm not a sales guy.

 

[nudemacusers]

be required to feign interest in the lights n' sound toy you're buying a child who can't talk and still shits herself brehs

Aww come on, it's not that hard to fake interest in Nintendo products.

Got bagels and cream cheese just to realize I don't own a toaster.

Now I want bagels and cream cheese. But I don't wanna go out in the rain.
 

[chronovore]

So my gf works for a production company that's affiliated with Sony. They've been affected by the hack, and we've been talking about the various leaks. So when I saw that Gary Whitta got mocked by a Sony exec, I mentioned that I used to post on a forum with that guy before he got his big Hollywood break, and didn't really like him then, so this was really funny to me as a result.

She asked, "Oh, what was this forum?"

At this point I got a little nervous, but decided to play it straight. I told her, "It's a videogame forum called NeoGAF. I don't post there anymore, but I still browse from time to time."

Her: "Why did you stop posting there?"

Me: "Well, they banned me for trolling."

Her: "Wait, you trolled so hard you got BANNED? What kind of stuff did you write?"

Me: "I don't think you quite understand. They ban a lot of people over there. A lot."

Her: "You're still telling me you got banned from a web forum for trolling. You're ridiculous."

 
 
 
 
 
      

Call her back the next day, and claim you feel really unsupported on your Whitta position.

Glen, under nooo circumstances should you let her see the shit you posted on the internet

This, one hundred times, this.

[Madrun Badrun]

Use the oven.

Thats what I did but its not as good of a toast.

Actually it can be. Heat a skillet up on the stove,,throw some butter in it, then put your bagels in. You'll be able to perfectly toast it to whatever level you want...just be careful you don't burn your food.

[Madrun Badrun]

I got a wok, that's all I got.

[Mr. Nobody]

Finally (FINALLY) making progress in Storm of Swords

I'm really not trying to read anymore Bran chapters 

[Mupepe]

Bran is the worst character ever.

[Mupepe]

That's one of the worst things you have ever typed. Ever.

[Phoenix Dark]

So you're saying Brienne>Bran? fuckouttahere

With Bran you always get some interesting lore and magic shit. And cannibalism.

[Mr. Nobody]

I enjoy her banter with Jaime a hell of a lot more than fever dreams and self-pity with frog people.

I get that Bran's the catalyst for all of this and it was tolerable in the beginning, but I'm so over it now it's not even funny.


You can't imagine my disappointment when I finished Clash of Kings 

[jakefromstatefarm]

they're all fucking boring as fuck past the first book, who cares

edit: the Bran chapters gave us

so I'm fine with em

Agreed. There may be cool ideas with the Bran sequences but the execution of the dialogue and writing in general leaves something to be desired.

[G The Resurrected]

Ran out of meds right when I have one of my largest attacks yet, two days long now. I should have gone to the ER but I was stubborn and tried to wait it out. I've stressed out my whole house because there really isn't anything anyone can do for me. I just have to wait till next month when I can get this thing out of me.

[Human Snorenado]

Bran has some of the best chapters in ADWD.

Talk about damning with faint praise... that's like saying "such and such is the best track on a Muse album"

[Human Snorenado]

Wonder which fantasy epic PD will hold up as perfect next. He's already gone through the Bible, Harry Potter, and now A Song of Ice and Fire.

[El Babua]

Bran III in ADWD is a top 5 chapter in the series.

Some of Martin's best writing.

[Phoenix Dark]

do yall read fantasy or do yall skim through it


I always assumed most people though the worst POV in the series was
(AFFC spoiler)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Brienne

[close]

It gets better towards the last ones but yea...that's the worst POV brehs by a mile. Bran has too many dope moments for me to damn him as "worst ever" due to some travelogue chapters. I liked his GoT chapters mainly because they gave extended glimpses of the rest of the northern houses (Manderly, Umber, etc). The other kids were dealing with far more interesting stuff at the time - I'd imagine we can all agree on that. ACOK...things got interesting when the Reeds showed up, and even moreso when Theon came along.

ASOS tho? We gonna act like it didn't introduce some interesting lore shit brehs?

Bobby Doucher is right. Too bad the show turned that scene into some Harry Potter bullshit.

[chronovore]

1) Struggle for the Day: Having shit from the three Game of Thrones threads bleed over into the Struggle of the Day thread.

2) Packing.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Been painting my new apartment the whole weekend.

I'm tired.

[chronovore]

Keep your windows open and don’t fume yourself to death. 

[Cerveza mas fina]

I actually feel sick today from the fumes I think, nausea.

[Mr. Gundam]

Someone reported me to Washington Department of Transportation for illegally using the carpool lane.

My daughter is in the back seat.

No ticket, just this really funny letter in the mail. Called them back and told them what was up and the person I spoke to was like "Yeah, lots of people like to complain about kids."

There is nothing worse than a fucking secret call in narc'ing. I hate that shit.

Once I was at my old house and my wife and I were being pretty loud during a disagreement about how to handle an issue one of the kids had. There were no threats nor was there even any real derogatory insults either....5 minutes later cops show up, like 5 of them and pulled me outside. One of the new dipshit local cops proceeded to ask me the following (no shit)

"Is this fight about drugs"

"Do you hit your wife?"

"Are you feeling angry right now?"

"Are......."

They he got interrupted by the Chief who said "They are arguing about their damn kid, enough. Sorry sir we received a call that there were threats and possible violence...clearly this isn't the case"

And then he nodded at my stupid religious cac neighbors. Who got nothing but death stares for about a month after that.

[Mr. Gundam]

There is a hotline in WA to report HOV violations. What kills me is that someone was so bothered that they took the time to call and report me. I know my daughter is hard to see in the backseat, but I'm not going to cheat the system.



My wife noticed that I trimmed her hydrangeas too short this Fall. She yelled at me in the front yard so our neighbor came out and was concerned.
