The toilet-cleaners of the world will kindly thank you to sit down when you have explosive diarrhea, however. Cleaning a shotgun blast of crap off of a wall is not pleasant, and it happens with disturbing frequency, speaking from personal experience. We all have things that we could be working on other than someone's inability to control their basic bodily functions.
What makes me rage is when people don't flush. I hate wiping down the seat as much as the next guy (sitsters unite), but what truly fucking grosses me out is having to see what the last person left. And I mean, seriously, how big of a fuck up do you have to be not to flush the toilet? That's the evolutionary equivalent of shitting in front of a lion den and walking away from it.
It's stuff like this that is why I don't like public restrooms. I've seen some shit, man. I don't want to see that.
I've cleaned all that shit to there and back. Fuck those people.

You must hate going on road trips, then. Public restrooms are basically all you've got  :-\

France is just across a short stretch of water from me. I have learned a few things from them.

My ISP is implementing data caps, which means I get to spend a few hours today researching my alternatives and likely am going to wind up paying more to transfer to a different service, even if it also has data caps, solely as my only way of saying, "This is not okay, Mediacom."

EDIT: Yep, the only competition has a lower data cap.

Data caps are kind of why I was resistant to getting AT&T uVerse but then I realized I'm never going to use 250GB of bandwidth in a month, even with occasional bouts of piracy and online gaming. If you live in the United States and are willing to look past their faults in poor customer service then I recommend giving AT&T a shot. Otherwise I'm really sorry for what's going on. I kind of know what it's like to have severe data caps on my own internet service as when I first got online via NetZero dial-up I was limited to ten hours a month. My brother and I, the ingenious little bastards we were, found ways around it but we got in trouble with both the ISP and our mother because of said scam that we pulled. Still, I hope things get better for you internet-wise.

I don't even like using public restrooms because of that and because I've had urine-soaked paper towels thrown at me on some occasions while using public restrooms. I'll hold it when it's like that because I'm no one's maid and I'm pretty certain I'm a NEET, not a janitor. I spent enough time cleaning up the messes of incontinent individuals when I lived in a couple adult group homes for a good four of five years, and I'm not doing that again any time soon.

Also my general moment of annoyance and frustration is that Morrowind seems to have some kind of general flaw with how it handles factions and situations which require you kill a member of your own faction. The Fighters Guild of course has this problem and I've come to find out that the Imperial Legion has this problem as well, albeit much sooner.

The patches I have installed which are supposed to fix the problem with the Fighter's Guild do nothing to fix it and do absolutely nothing to fix the problem with the Imperial Legion quest which requires you to do the same thing. I'm going to restart my game so that I can perhaps go through House Redoran again and this time not bother with the Imperial Legion quests as they are about as broken as the Fighter's Guild quests and as lackluster as the Morag Tong quests.

Damnit, internet commercials. When you tell me "Bleu is passion", you get my hopes up for a Breath of Fire spinoff of epic ham.

But no. You're just some bullshit food commercial. Damn you to snake person hell. I wasn't a prospective customer anyway, but for this chain yank I never will be. *vile mutterings*

I don't know why I bother with forums anymore when I seem to get less frustrated with anonymous imageboards these days. Maybe I'm a masochist? My left arm seems to think so. Disregard this, I'm cutting back on my caffeine intake and it's gotten me to be a little moodier than usual.

Dammit all. Truck is broken down and we currently have no idea as to the problem. Gonna.have to hope it works well enough tomorrow to at least get to a repair shop, but if not we're stuck immobile in this parking lot until someone can come help.

Are these repairs coming out of your pocket?

They are in the sense that we're not earning any money by sitting around, but otherwise no. The company pays for repairs.

ETA: Yep, we're stuck. And the repair shop (which we will need towing to) doesn't open until tomorrow >_<

If you live in the United States and are willing to look past their faults in poor customer service then I recommend giving AT&T a shot.

I've had pretty bad experiences with AT&T. In addition to crappy customer service and tacking on $400 in non-refundable "installation fees" because of a lackluster credit check, the proprietary AT&T router they force on you is pretty bad, and always gave me issues with Port Forwarding to host servers, etc. That, combined with fairly regular internet outages and slowdowns (despite being the only U-Verse customers in our complex, which left us with a dedicated fiber optic line all to ourselves), and the ways they kept trying to screw me over with phone service has lead me to not do business with them since.

They seem to really love hidden fees, and unless you have a pretty solid credit history, they're very unwilling to work with you. So for folks who don't do Credit Cards (like me), they're not liable to treat you very well fiscally either.

I'm going to fucking maul the next person who makes a character based on Alan Turing and pleasantly "forgets" that he was gay.  He died for it.

Microsoft's stupid system that resets every change the user makes to program files, without telling them, or providing an explanation.  Just... WHY?  Microsoft seems to have a severe aversion to explaining themselves to the user.  Like its bad enough you automatically restart my computer at regular intervals, you could at least explain why that's necessary, or what at what times my computer might randomly decide its bedtime.  And yes, I did disable that little... feature.  But still, would it kill you to communicate a little instead of just saying "we're restarting you computer, deal with it."

I guess you could say Microsoft in general makes me rage >:(

If TVTropes is right, Pacific Rim.  I sent a rather lengthy note to the scriptwriter.
