By posting it in a thread it's a topic for debate, by virtue of making it public. Venting thread or no, it's unreasonable to say people can't comment on what's posted here. (This is different than my rule about singling out forum members while raging. This has to do with the actual content of his post, on topic.)

I agree. The issue I take is that he's assuming what Euld's real reasons for being upset were (ignoring what he actually said), and is attacking him on that basis. I don't think that's cool in general, but in a thread where people are already upset (by definition, almost), and are thus less likely to be precise with language, it's doubly so.

It's ok, I'm totally cool with people commenting on and questioning my reasoning when I post something on the internet.  If anything, it's kind of fun    What made me mad was how she asked, and what she implied by asking that certain way.  Our family takes turns doing the dishes, watering the yard, unloading the dishwasher, other stuff.  Making a big breakfast like pancakes is not one of those, it's a task that well, follows a different set of rules.  During the weekend, sometimes someone wants to do something special for the family, like make breakfast for everyone, usually pancakes.  It's a gift, it's unexpected, and greatly appreciated.  And everyone else shows their appreciation by cleaning the breakfast dishes after that.  Normally, my dad makes breakfast, and I'm more than willing to help clean up because I really appreciate the hard work he put into making them.

My mom practically stomped on that little tradition.  Making pancakes is not a "turn taking" task, it's a spontaneous gift of love, which is reciprocated by everyone in return.  She just wanted pancakes, and she didn't even want to ask politely, and she didn't offer to clean the dishes either.  And she couldn't even ask politely, she felt the need to pull a guilt trip out of nowhere when I would have done it if she was nice about it.  And she does this often, with almost everything she asks me to do.

About that earlier incident, no it wasn't a door she wanted me to open, it was a lightswitch she wanted turned off.  Looking back on that incident though, yeah just turning it off would have saved me a lot of trouble <_<  My reasons for not doing it were 1)I was busy with a League of Legends match.  The lightswitch won't commit seppiku if I take too long.  2)She was using her usual guilt tripping to get me to do it. 3)I'd already done a bunch of things for her that day.  Usually running silly errands up and down the stairs for pickles and other stuff.  I'd had enough, she could wait a freaken minute.

Why am I not allowed to use our coffee brewer (also good for tea) to make tea? Why? Because you need to put the filter back in? You do that anyways. It doesn't mess with any of the settings, I just take out the filter holder, dump the old filter, brew, and I'm done with it. There's no interruption to your coffee making. SO WHY CAN'T I USE IT? WHY DO I HAVE TO BOIL A LITER OF WATER IN THE MICROWAVE, DUMP IT IN, AND DO IT AGAIN IF I WANT TEA? WHY?

There is something so depressing about sending your professor something cool that's related to the topic of the course, with a short little discussion of what you thought to be so interesting about it, and the only reply being (literally) "thanks."

This is just going to be one of those days when I hate college.  All of it.  Especially the easy set theory part.

Because your coffee-drinkers hate tea and you and everything associated with it.

I think you quoted the wrong post there, mate.

Yes I did. Freacking ninjas.

But are they tea-powered ninjas?

[Darvi]

Yes we are.

This irritates me.
