What Grinds Your Gears?

A weaker bar/shell can overwrite a better one? Well that sucks o.o I always assumed it couldn't.

i would totally run around throwing prot I on people that just buffed

a lower tier pro/shell cant overwrite but say a 1/5 shellra V can overwrite a 5/5 shellra V

same deal with merited and unmerited barspells (and non beneficus barspells)

*goes back into lurker mode*

All this went down this week:

Monday:
My 10 month old (ffxi) laptop breaks.
Having to do paperwork and mailing laptop to repair center.
Will have to wait 4-8 weeks to get it back.

Tues/Wed:
My 4 month old Xbox 360S breaks(ffxi backup), wont stay powered up now.
22 days past store return policy.
Having to do paperwork and mailing laptop to repair center.
Having to wait 2-5 weeks to get it back.

Thur:
and ps2 w/ hard drive "super emergency ffx1 back up" will no longer recognize the internet.

Now that is a sign.
No more FFXI for you, ever. :P

Not being able to effing sleep beyond 7 am... -_-

School and late assignments. orz

When someone interrupts you in the middle of your question, and is just so far off base with what they consider is the answer to your question. Then, you try explaining that wasn't the question to begin with, so they repeat the same process. Meanwhile, you're left thinking, "Why the hell did I even ask this person?"

When you are riding on the elevator and when it stops, the people waiting to get on rush the door, not even letting you get off ... really people? really?

not being able to find more yoruichi pictures

That bugs the hell out of me too! Especially at the mall when you have *** teens who jump in before elderly people and women with baby carriages!

I'm not holding the door for you, turdburger!

All my cousins are popping out babies like candy. I'm avoiding the whole issue, but my family is starting to get twitchy. No woman in our family has made it to the ripe old age of 26 without producing a child before, I'm the first. I'm also the only female cousin on my father's side who has not yet produced. So that's annoying enough as it is, coming from my side of the family, but now my husband's side is getting twitchy too, because they've now noticed that all my high school classmates are popping out babies like candy.

So I woke up this morning, groggled my way around my morning routine, flopped my lazy butt in my computer chair, and pulled up my internets. First thing on my Facebook? A private message from a family matron, informing me that she saw so-and-so who I went to school with's mother in the store and so-and-so and HIS wife are having a baby!

BUGGER OFF! I am not your personal baby-making factory! I don't even know if I like babies! They cry, they scream, they poop, they smell funny, they have a constant stream of mucus streaming down their faces, they puke. I want to sleep! I want to go on vacation to Disneyland or wherever the heck I want to go without lugging around a stinkin' baby and all its accessories and diapers! I want to be able to go to a movie if I want to bloody go to a movie without tracking down some half-irresponsible high school nutcase to babysit!

Like really, am I going to need to go have a doctor surgically remove my stupid uterus to stop this nonsense? "SORRY I don't have the right hardware, can't make you a kid, so sad!" If you crabby old family matrons want grandbabies so bad, go adopt your own and tell people it's mine! I don't care, just leave me out of it!

Poor Liela! That is quite annoying! I was 30 when I had my son. I used to get comments from my Mom all the time about wanting to be a grandma, even to the point that she used to have dreams when I was in HS that I got pregnant just so she could have another kid. Just tell everyone that you aren't ready and if they don't stop bugging you, you will never be ready. Good luck!

this used to be the case a long time ago (last time I checked)
----------------

when you are doing a project, people telling you nagging you not to Eff it up so much, that you get distracted and you do eff it up, and get yelled by that person.

:/

Liela, it sounds to me like you're the only one with a level head in that picture. The choice to have a child is a mutual one between partners. If you're not ready, especially since you're the one that endures pregnancy and the symptoms therein, nobody has a right to suggest, or otherwise pressure you in their own personal ideals. It's rude and downright alienating.
Personally I have little to no intentions of having a child, and have long since considered a vasectomy. Luckily I keep such things to myself because lord knows I have relatives or even friends that would flip their ***over something like that. But frankly it bothers me people make personal things their own business when in reality, they have no place in such matters. I share your view on babies to the T.

I love this!

I said "I'm not having kids" for most of my 20s and eventually everyone came to accept it. Of course it helped that I was told I couldn't have them, but I seriously didn't want them. My son was a fantastic surprise that I wouldn't trade for the world, but I definitely get why kids are not right for everyone!

I like saying "Oh you'll have kids" to women because if I was betting 1000$ that I was right every time I said that to a woman in her 20's, I'd have hundreds of thousands of dollars when those women were in their 30's.

Seriously not an attack on the player (forgive me), but this makes me feel like my brain is twisting and I feel nauseous. I have no idea why.

Copyright laws being bastardized by Hollywood and recording industries grind my gears. In my opinion, music and movies alike should become public domain after the passing of said artist/director or disbanding of the band. It's just greedy to keep an iron fist on distribution after the person who made it has long since been dead.

This one store we supply... 4/5 days I work they send in these giant *** last minute orders that I walk in to find sitting in our fax machine. I know last minute stuff happens but seriously, if you need an extra 300 items then I know you have it sitting around and are just too lazy to send it till 15min before I get there. One of these days I'm just gunna write "lol nope" on the sheet and fax it back... Apperently I would have been allowed to do that the time they sent one in mid way though my shift (I only go near the fax machine right when I get in and in the last 30min) that I barely caught but missed my chance there XD

I just have to say, this is one of the most amazing rants I've ever seen in my life. Keep on going strong and don't let them get to you, if you don't want them you don't want them.

A vasectomy will definitely aid you in keeping "such things" to yourself. :P

Easier solution:

Sorry, couldnt help it D:

the people who write make these do not own them most of the time they are owned by outside parties who will never relinquish the rights as they continue to make money, like with the beetle's it just gets sold to the highest bidder willing to try to make more money off it. As a musician myself if i happen to be the owning party in my own content wich i am i would want my family who i would pass the rights to my product to flourish if my product still sold.
what grinds my gears is people trying copy ,sell , and steal my hard work. As it is i barely make a nickel for every albums sold outside my venues.

I just meant that, being vasectomized, "those things" (sperm) will remain in your body (keep to yourself.)

Worse joke than I thought, I guess, but that's all that it was. Birth control debates on the internet grind my gears, and I wouldn't wanna start one.

Tell me this then. Are ownership, copyright and monetary rights going to matter when you're dead or if your group is disbanded?
If you're making music to make money, then I totally understand the stance. But alas, it seems contrary to essence of your career of choice.

it wont matter to me, as with most business you want something to pass down, when a owner of say a coffee shop dies should everything he had for sale in said business be free to the public or to the people that inherit the business be allowed to sell the products?
edit: as far as if my band disbanded yes it would, it's not always an artist choice if the group stands together one small kink in that chain can destroy others lively hoods, so yes if my group ever broke up i'd still like to be able to make a living off my now 10 years of hard work.

You're honestly comparing a coffee shop owner to music makers?

I was looking at a bigger picture of things in general and how bastardized laws are right now.

i see no dif. business is business whether you make music, art or coffee it's a product for sale.
