So basically, it's "deal with" as in "deal with it". Simple.

"Deal with it" has two meanings though in as much as you can tell someone to just "deal with it" when there's a problem and that can often imply there's some sort of action e.g. fixing something that's broken, or sorting out a situation.

If you thole something there's no action involved other than simply enduring and accepting.

So basically, '(to) keep calm and carry on'?

A bit like that but less crowns and stiff upper lips and more gritted teeth.

It's probable that some are doing it to be rude.  When dealing with businesses, they might have policies that can help if you make a complaint, but that get's tiresome quickly.  Depending on where you live, government employees might be required to respect your gender, but again, it probably takes extra time and effort.

I'm pretty sure that 'in public' would refer to somewhere like a street or a shop, not a workplace. So the people would be strangers who are just uninformed, rather than trying to make a dig at alleecat.

I was talking about those situations.  I'm sure many or most of them are just having a moment of awkwardness, like you're saying.  In a place that you have to go to often, it's worth getting that sort of thing straitened out.

I feel stupid and unsuccessful.  Yeah yeah, I know.  But that's how I feel.

I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the time until I get to grad school.

I think you're great.  You have a positive effect on others, and you've accomplished more than some people even aspire to.


Edit:  Wasn't expecting to be on a new page, so I had to add the quote afterward. x3

Tolerate. It almost perfectly means tolerate.

Anyway, that's what all ISPs are like, at least in terms of "shitty service with no other choice".

Probably by being awesome. But it is okay not to know how that's going to happen. Good luck.

I'd back up Ogdibus and say you're a pretty swell inspiration for many people, Vector.
A -LOT- of people.

Edit:

But this is why, come the revolution, we must be to expel the monster ISP that is BT:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I agree with you there it's the only ISP in my area and it sucks

...A speed of 100kb/s sucks?
...
...
Wow. I can't believe it. We have speeds of 23kb/s and even that is considered good.
^{Yeah, yeah Philippine internet. Our reputation preceeds us and all that.}

[BlackFlyme]

I'm not going to have any internet access for I don't know how long starting tomorrow. 'Cuz I'm moving.

Might not be electricity either, I'll have to wait and see.

'Night everyone, I'm off to bed early tonight.

[Gamerlord]

I have open sores on my head and they're weeping. So now I have two dressings tied onto my head with a long bandage. Bloody hell this is uncomfortable.

Vector you are probably one of the smartest and strongest people I have met and I know you will be able to make it through anything life throws at you.

Yeah I suppose I really can't complain, it just gets annoying sometimes

I've been in that situation before I hope you get it back soon

I hope you get better soon

[Dutchling]

Well.

I for one, am going to keep complaining about the shitty 5mbs at my parent's :p

[Caz]

Too many people around resorting to suicide. I wonder just how much it takes from "suicidal" to "dead"?

2nd person in a couple months, too. This world sucks.
