Why haven't you told me this yet, Bd? I could so use this to explode stuff for shits and giggles! D:

LET'S ALL BLOW STUFF UP FOR SHITS N' GIGGLES!

[Jackrabbit]

Holy shit.

Oh holy fucking shit.

My friend hurts women because he enjoys it.

My friend abuses women because he enjoys the power it gives him.

My ex friend. I never knew this. I knew him for seven years and I never knew this. I had my first sexual encounter with him, which hurt me severely and has been hurting me for the past six months and I never even guessed. I am completely at a loss. I don't know what to do, except let everyone know, because this needs to stop, now, forever.

[Dsarker]

I don't know that I can help in any way other than suggest you tell the police if you haven't already.

[Acanthus117]

Jesus, I hate those kinds of scumbags.

My sympathies, Jack.

[kaijyuu]

Yeah if you suspect he's been hurting anyone recently, call the police right 'effing now.

[Scaraban]

That also makes me RAAAAAAAAAAAA(AAAA)EG...

Migraines every day for 67 days.
2 migraines yesterday.
I woke up with one today about 5 hours ago and it has not stopped.

Rage isn't good for migraines.
But unending pain that is nearly blinding isn't good for not rage.

There was a single fruit fly making my bedroom its home. It appeared about a week ago.

Last night, when I was washing my hands, I swatted it midair, trapping it in the suds on my hand. I rinsed it off and rewashed my hands. Finally, success! Now I won't have to glance around the room looking for an opportunity to kill a fly whenever a speck of dust passes my sight! I can finally relax a little more!

Today, I found a bag in my room that has been there since who knows how long but that I did not put there. It was filled with fruit flies.

That's.....sort of horrifying. Sounds like someone is out to get you.

Nah, it was when a sibling of mine cleaned the room a while back and just left the bag of stuff there. I don't think she'd leave a bag of stuff there knowing that it would attract flies to her own room (oh, yeah, we share a room.), but her reasoning for leaving a bag of trash there was that she "didn't wanna do everything", as though throwing out the trash she gathered was extra work or something. So she let it sit there for... how many months? I didn't even know it was trash, as there was another bag over it so it looked like a pile of empty bags, otherwise it would've been gone long ago.

To bus drivers: The schedule you are supposed to keep is not a suggestion of what your arrival times should be, but the times you are fucking supposed to be there. Both trips on the bus were at least 15 minutes late. Now, I might have remembered hearing one of them saying that they're doing this to reduce the crowding on the bus(if people are late, they have less reason to take the bus if they miss their appointments or whatever). Now, even if this were true, it's a batshit retarded idea.


Also, earlier today my stomach was hurting something fierce. I try to determine the cause of this pain, and remember I had bought a couple bags of cheap candy this morning, which was labeled as sugar-free and low calorie(not why I bought it, I bought it because it was the only kind there). I look at the ingredients, and the first thing listed is something called Isomalt*. The asterisk pointed to a note that said "overconsumption can have a laxative effect". Not a fun thing to read on something you just ate a whole bag of.

To be fair, nowhere did it define what "overconsumption" was, nor did I eat the whole bag(there's one left), and I ate it over the course of about 4 hours. Furthermore, I figure a ~260lb man could handle more toxic candy than a child could(on the other hand, children do surprise with how much toxic candy they can consume). It's not that the laxative effect was that much of a... laxative effect, but my stomach did hurt pretty damn bad. Not that my manager gave me any kind of a break despite barely being able to do anything.

This. This this this. Even worse is when they sometimes come early, so you don't know if you missed it or if you need to wait just a little bit longer (as opposed to waiting for the next bus).
And then most bus drivers have the nerve to be an ass about it if you bring it up, or just be an ass about any arbitrary thing. Some people say that it's a stressful job. I say that that's there own damn fault for deciding to work as a bus driver, and that what stress that does come with the job probably isn't so much more than they (should've) expected that they need to take it out on their customers.
"Oh, uh, wait, I just passed my stop, can I get off here?", says a middle schooler who has only recently began riding the metro bus to get to school and doesn't know the route very well. She even waited for a red light to ask. The door opens and she makes an effort to get out as quickly as she can so as not to keep anyone waiting, should the light turn green. She steps down the stairs, when-- "Well you shoulda got off at yer stop." grumbles the elderly lady driver, as though my ability to hear was equal to that of a cantankerous elderly person who drives a bus.
No shit; I just figured it'd be nice to get off at an unknown area a few blocks further away from my destination than my bus stop was. No, really, I enjoy going scavenger hunting for landmarks that I vaguely know of while wearing a heavy-ass backpack on hellishly hot days. I clearly missed my stop deliberately.

That was a few years ago, and since then, I try to avoid talking directly to bus drivers if they don't show any display of sociability beforehand.

I am raging slightly at how much text I write in things that are supposed to be short responses. I know how to lengthen posts, but I can't shorten them.

About people missing their stops and asking to get off wherever, the bus drivers are usually cool about it, but then again, the driver often fails to even know where the stops are to begin with, despite the presesnce of a GPS console right on their dashboard.

Another thing that irritates me about the bus is when the pull-cord that requests a stop malfunctions, giving only a low-volume *ding* and omits the following computer-woman voice going "STOP REQUESTED", but mostly because of the passengers who keep yelling to the driver that they want to stop or keep pulling the cord(which is probably what broke it in the first place), when the the ding is usually pretty audible, and the driver most likely has an indicator showing that someone wants to get off at the next stop.


Funny story, the bus going to work has bus schedules at the front, the bus going home has complaint forms.


EDIT: I forgot to mention, the bus is always crowded, and I've heard rumors that the county has been considering removing buses from this particular line, and I think one of the drivers said they are intentionally being late as a form of protest to that or something. Either way, it's equally as batshit retarded as intentionally being late to reduce bus crowding directly.

[scriver]

It's not strange most bus drivers are bitter assholes. Most bus takers are ungrateful assholes.

[kaijyuu]

Bus drivers to my university are pretty cool most of the time. I used to have to ask to get off at a random corner (as the bus stops are stupid and the two closest to where I live make me walk nearly a mile), and only one ever said anything about it.
