General Bitching Post

GTLive	Date: March 18, 2005 @ 11:33 PM That's what we need around here, a Non-Specific Bitchin' Place to vent all your crap so you can interact with a smile like I'm gonna do... So let me start this thing off by describing my lovely week. Monday: My darlin' wife says "F*** I got a ticket" - turns out we get a ticket for parking backwards even though the cars are every which way on this street all the time. Like eighteen cars, nine going one way and nine going the other and ONE ticket for $54.00 Tuesday: I came home late Monday Night after taking a massive beating in my karate class and forgot to move my car off the street and found another parking ticket for another $54.00 Now we're up to $108.00 Wednesday: The lady next door gives me a bunch of griewf over her garbage. Oh boy let me explain this BS if I may. About 3 weeks ago I was cleaning out my kids bedroom, and was in the process of throwing out a bunch of stuff. There was about a foot of snow on the ground so I planned on dragging all the stuff I was throwing out in a toy box that I was also chucking, one trip. When I got outside I noticed a bag of garbage in the way, the lady next door was obviously gonna take it out and left it out because of the snow, so I did the neighborly thing and took it out for her. No trouble at all to add her bag to my pile, that way only one of us has to walk across the yard to the dumpster in the foot of snow. Didn't think twice, cause I raised myself to do the right thing. Anyway, I forgot that I live in freaking New Jersey where everyone has ulterior motives for every damn thing they do, and everyone is hostile as shit and in yer face every second. This woman saw me last week and started yelling at me for taking out her garbage for Christ's sake! She's like "I left that out there for my daughter to take out" and "what kind of creepy person steals somebody's garbage anyway?!?!" How the HELL do you like that, she said I stole her F-ing GARBAGE! The whole time she's giving me this look like I'm some kinda freaking crazy garbage stealing person. Ain't that something??? I wanted to smack some sense into her right there! I'm all "YOU'RE WELCOME LADY!" I swear. That's what I get. Last time I do a nice thing for any freakin' body. Ahhh I feel better already... Glad I got that outta my system.
Hatsy	Date: March 21, 2005 @ 3:03 PM Stay sweet GT !! The world needs more nice people - This did make me laugh though (sorry)!!!
leplume	Date: March 21, 2005 @ 6:59 PM I thought stuff like that only happened in Wisconsin. Good to know weird neighbors exist all over. I can also relate to the parking problem. We have what is known as alternate side parking during the winter months. I supposed it helps when there is snow to plow but it's so easy to forget which damn side to be on when the weather is nice. Woof and I have gotten three tickets this year alone. It is kind of funny...she accusing you of stealing her garbage! But I'm glad you feel better now!
wet1	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 11:27 PM Thank you Gary, I needed a good laugh. While it is easy to see the world going to heck in a hand basket, we must always remember there are good folks out there with good intentions. It is sad that those that seek info of your life are willing to dig through your streetside trash to get it. My compliments to you on attempting to do the right thing, even if the attempt was misconstrued to be something you never intended.
leflaw	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 1:32 AM Gary, wasn't that ticket for 45$ not 54$?
moam	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 2:12 AM Why do I procrastinate with my homework for college so damn much?
Svensta	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 7:48 AM I think I am getting a cold. I friggin hate colds. Oh, and I can't stop playing this goddamn computer game, and the wife is getting cranky about it. Helpless addict, that I am.
GTLive	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 10:40 AM Nope, they were both for $54.00. If I typed $45.00 that was a mistake I paid one so far, looking right at the other one. It's on my bulletin board, next to a window overlooking a streetful of haphazardly parked non ticketed cars. Ya know what wet1? I never once thought of the whole Identity Theft angle to this! Thank GOD that lady didn't either or she would have pressed charges. I would have probably gotten a lethal injection by now. That does it, I am now officially afraid of everyone except sparring partners. They only try to punch and kick you all the time. Predictable.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 3:17 PM did you check the bag for body parts?
GTLive	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 3:50 PM I didn't check, but I'm about ready to add a few to the next one.
pog	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 4:05 PM So is a bitching post anything like a scratching post ??
GTLive	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 7:30 PM Nope it's more of a Hitching Post for all the crap I needed to get offa my chest hehehe. All the GARBAGE you could say. Everyone should go listen to my Garbage Roundup Song now (plug)
Hatsy	Date: March 25, 2005 @ 1:13 PM The Trees are off to the Garbage Roundup song in honour of GT's bad day We never get anyone stealing our garbage, we can't even get the local council to take it away!!
AGenePunckbowee	Date: March 28, 2005 @ 10:39 PM Why can't a fish patty just once be put on the bun right at McDonald's. Is that asking too much? It isn't brain surgery!
tsand19151	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 8:17 AM why do jersey drivers insist on clogging the left lane of the damn turnpike? fuckin bastards piss me off to no end. assholes are either too rude or too stupid to get the hell out of the way... ...can't wait till i move so i can stop defaming my car with these dumb-ass jersey tags. absolutely the worst-ass drivers on the planet....pricks .......gee, i feel better too
furiousBall	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 12:37 PM we drive that way to scare the dallas cowboys fans away
tsand19151	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 2:15 PM oooh, you bastard!!! nice one!!
leplume	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 6:58 PM Why is it that as soon as the weather gets nice and the sun shines every Granny driving a Cadillac goes for a drive at 5 miles per hour...in front of me...
BOWILLIE	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 9:21 PM why does birds crap on my ferrari every time my yard man washes it?
onewhodreams	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 10:14 PM Well, what really bothers me lately is when I m realmente doente e tired dos povos que fazem exame de peixes reading e os põem no backseat de seus carros ao dirigir abaixo o freeway!!! Eu don apenas t começo porque yogurt têm que fazer aquele?!! And another thing Non posso levarsi in piedi sono quando quel DJ sulla radio spende kids tutto il giorno bitching circa il tempo! Che cosa si preoccupano!? Ils fonctionnent à l'intérieur ! ! ! What I really don't understand is why de mensen besteden zo veel tijd het bitching auf dem Internet, zum sie Völker dites-les vraiment, vraiment amour et achèteriez chacun des voitures s'ils pourraient!!! Why, why, why?!?!! Wow, that felt really good to get all that off my chest.
TameasDust	Date: March 29, 2005 @ 10:33 PM one thing I wish ... just one little thing ... I wish the dang Emoticon List was in order ... you know 1 to 10 and A to Z Just a pet peeve of mine
wet1	Date: March 30, 2005 @ 6:20 AM Driving? Whats that? Down here, we aim.
GTLive	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 8:21 AM Did you ever notice that the biggest complainers/nitpickers/musical dissectors, whatever you wanna call 'em, are the ones that do not post any tunes??? OK, my stuff may suck, but if you have no stuff, it's still better than yours so STFU already! Another thing is when you get people who come to an interactive web site, then just hang out lurking and snap at you when you try to say hello. Guess there's all kinds of interaction, but I prefer the friendly kind. Also, when people go away for a long time then return and tell everybody except me. Well I guess I am being told something there, now that I think about it, but I prefer the friendly messages over the dismissive kind. OK Here's another one - When somebody picks up on a musical influence in one of my songs, and rejects the entire archive of tunes because of this. Somehow I'd prefer it if they didn't like my stuff over not giving it a chance because of who it reminds them of. That's a biggie for this particular artist. Aww I Love my Bitchin' forum. I always feel so much better on the way out.
leplume	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 6:43 PM Here's my bitch for today...WORK...'nuf said.
GTLive	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 8:32 PM If you ask a person a question, they owe you an answer. Plain and simple. I hate getting disregarded more than anything I can think of, and people do it on the internet all the time, as though common courtesy doesn't apply. Never do I have people ignore me in real life. Why is DM any different? @#$%!
happyhappyhappy	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 10:40 PM I have so much I want to complain about. I then I get on this thread and I can't think of one. Okay, one forced complaint: So many people owe me money. I swear I'll be back.
GTLive	Date: March 31, 2005 @ 10:51 PM Here's one: When comment statistics become a deterrent to listening. That one pisses me off!
moam	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 2:38 AM happyhappyhappy: But you seem so... happy
Hatsy	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 9:25 AM I love happyhappyhappy's unhappy avatar ! That is some attitude, wish I could buy some Err, just tryin' to think of some awful bitchin' to do while I'm here......there must be somethin'....oh yeah, school holidays should be shorter! Purely for mum's sakes, less shredded nerves equals happier kids?!! Oh and having loads of bread and no peanut butter, or loads of peanut butter & no bread, or crackers...and the postman not calling for four days when you're waiting on a letter.... I'll be back....
kingo	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 10:31 AM :think: So how do you know, in this sort of situation, that the person in question is "rejecting the entire archive of tunes" without giving them a chance?" id="130031">"OK Here's another one - When somebody picks up on a musical influence in one of my songs, and rejects the entire archive of tunes because of this.

Hatsy	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 11:29 AM I guess the only way you'd know is if they never come back
imemine	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 11:35 AM Just because dammit! Why do you need to know Dammit? We know things too Dammit? Just because you go around using that there artsy fartsy/high-falutin HTML stuffs! Why do you need to know--- DAMMIT!
kingo	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 12:24 PM I'm just sayin'." id="130039">Treebone: my point is you wouldn't know if they didn't come back. All you'd know is if they stop leaving comments. They might still be listening, and not commenting unless there's something particularly constructive to say. I'm just sayin'.
imemine	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 1:40 PM Ok then, I didn’t know you were just sayin’
BOWILLIE	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 1:45 PM halaka...your tunes are unlike any i have ever heard...thats why i think they're so great.originality.
kingo	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 1:56 PM Well, thanks, Bowillie!

kingo	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 2:20 PM Hey, my great grandmother's from Grolaskazina!!!
GTLive	Date: April 1, 2005 @ 4:27 PM Thank you Treebone. Halaka you are right. I do not know for certain that they are rejecting my archives because of a leading comment they may have left on the way out. It could very well be that they left the dismissive remarks, then came back in and lurked through the rest of the archive, and didn't comment because they had nothing further to say. It sounds very farfetched to me because I have all different kinds of stuff, but it is certainly possible. Therefore to answer your question I am not 100% certain that's what they are doing, yet I think it is still safe to draw that conclusion. Just saying.
Hatsy	Date: April 2, 2005 @ 12:57 PM I'm not a great lurker! I always seem to have something to say! I 2nd Bow's comment, Halaka's music is awesome & totally amazing. There's something for everyone here
TameasDust	Date: April 2, 2005 @ 4:52 PM
GTLive	Date: April 2, 2005 @ 6:05 PM Treebone, being one of the most talented artists and respectful people I know, always lets me know when she checks my stuff. I have a very good idea which songs she likes, and she is living proof that it is never neccesary to rip another artist's music apart. I personally separate interaction from music here at DM, because to do otherwise is to miss some of the best music in the world.
Hatsy	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 2:14 PM I like the whole thing, the interaction & listening to great new material & the emots, the whole shebang, and on any site and indeed in life in general there is always one....(1) But it never spoils the fun for the rest of us, just a weak fart in a strong wind
leplume	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 4:33 PM Treebone, why do you turn every thread into a fizzy wind thread?
BOWILLIE	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 4:35 PM should we buy her a can of beano?
Hatsy	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 6:38 PM I know I really do do that! I was in & out of the forum today finding my fart comments & realizing I must be leaving a bad smell everywhere I go It's the way I was brought up...to blast in there first & clean up afterwards Nothing a good strong pair of :briefs can't contain
Hatsy	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 6:40 PM !! The got messed up again !!!
BOWILLIE	Date: April 4, 2005 @ 10:03 PM maybe two cans?
Hatsy	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 4:28 AM What's beano anyway? Is it some kind of indigestion mixture for ladies with incurable fluxations of the lower appendages....(a very English sounding affliction eh!) oops!
zedsalt	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 11:57 AM Beano isn't just for the ladies. Heh heh Treebone said, "do do" (4/4 6:38 p.m.)

Hatsy	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 7:53 PM Leplume! You kill me...I been in Bow's shout all night & could feel myself slowly gettin' pinned against the walls 'DON'T BLOW BOW' !!!
Hatsy	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 7:54 PM What's UPS?
BOWILLIE	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 8:01 PM there she blows mateees! oops..
GTLive	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 8:15 PM UPS is United Parcel Service. I worked as a truck loader for them years ago because I always wanted to experience prison without being someone's bitch. But maybe that's just my take on the experience
moam	Date: April 6, 2005 @ 12:22 AM HAHAHAHAHAHA noimportantone: Holy shit, you are suffering from UPS syndrome? UPS syndrome is this... Ugly Pee Shit Syndrome... That's what you get when you work for UPS. Ugly Pee Shit Syndrome... Trust me, I know... I was there far too long

AGenePunckbowee	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 5:49 PM Mine today is persistent, intermitent (on a schedule nearly like a menstral cycle) technical difficulties. On 2 computers. If it could be duplicated, it could be fixed. Or at least I'd know what the problem is. At least they're different, yet insanely annoying problems.
GTLive	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 6:08 PM Hey! This is a Bitchin' Post. So here goes, you know what really pisses me off to no end? The fact that people on the internet think it's OK to disregard the things you say. If I speak to someone in real life, I get an answer, even if it's the biggest jerk in the world I'm talking to, so why should the computer be any different? I try to show some common decency here and others should as well. So what if it isn't in person? Big Deal! Imagine walking up to somebody you are casually accquainted with and saying "Hey how are ya?" and they turn their back and continue talking to Joe Schmo like you weren't even there. You'd formulate an opinion about that person right there I bet. This is common practice here at DM, but not by me I tell you. Ahhh this post was such a great idea.
moam	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 6:32 PM Meh I don't care. Sometimes I get online just for something quick and someone notices me on the site and they say "hi" and I don't respond because I don't have time or I am right in the middle of something else I am usually up for a quick hello and convo but sometimes I am either not in the mood or I am completely busy. I don't think that is ignoring someone because it is the internet...just like I feel people who feel awkward silences when you're chatting online is annoying. I would be online and busy or something and my chat program would be up and someone would talk to me at a hundred words per second and I would just be saying simple things and then we wouldn't talk for like 2 minutes and the person would type "ssooooo..." and I am thinking to myself JESUS CHRIST!!! It is the internet! I am not gonna drop what I am doing and just dedicate my time to talking to you in my chat program... That is my biggest internet peeve...when people type shit like "soooo..." and feel awkward silence in a conversation ONLINE! I dunno...anyone agree with me? Anyone have this shit happen to them? I got a new screen name recently because I was sick of annoying people I never even gave my screen name to bugging me online. People would have nothing to do so they would talk to me...and then that's ALL they would be doing so they are typing super fast and I am trying to work on something else and they expect me to drop what I am doing and entertain them online. I ain't thier fucking clown! Oh well, I'm done bitching. This doesn't happen to me anymore because no one annoying knows my screen name, so that is good.
GTLive	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 8:01 PM Yay! You have embraced the spirit of this Bitchin' Post. Congtratulations, doesn't it feel great? This particular bitch does work both ways, though. Nobody deserves to be ignored OR interrupted, as the case may be. That sort of thing used to drive me nuts too, but if I'm busy now I say so, and most people are cool about it. Exactly my point, because common courtesy works both ways. It just doesn't seem to apply on the internet.
Hatsy	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 8:40 PM I don't know what to say really, other than in the main I have found most people here and online generally, to he courteous, most people I interact with come by once in a while to say hello, I may not hear from them again for another week or so but I appreciate everyone is leading busy lives these days, there's pressure in every aspect of our lives to keep up, do our best, be on top of everthing, and sometimes you just can't. You may meet several new people on dmusic in an evening who you may not cross paths with again for a month, if ever...that's the nature of a crowded environment & people will choose their friends here as they will in any walk of life, we are kindred spirits, we choose to be close to people we feel an affinity towards. In real life we have good friends that we haven't seen for a year, not because we don't want to, just because it takes time to get the social part of our lives organised, it's a drag but how do you divide your time up when there is never enough to go around. You just have to be thankful for every day, make the best of it GT, you have a lot of people in your corner, not everyone has the time to stay with a conversation or even pass back a hello, I think you try too hard, me I say if someone turns their back on me too bad, I got no time to worry about it.
Hatsy	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 8:43 PM My gripe of the day is how come my washing machine eats socks, when am I ever gonna retreive the whole quota of paired socks? Where do they go?
GTLive	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 9:03 PM Well the only thing I can say is what good are mistakes if not learning experiences, really?
GTLive	Date: April 7, 2005 @ 9:26 PM With that, I hereby retire from public bitching. I hope the spirit lives on of course, and if one person gets a load off here instead of taking it out on others, then it's a successful thread anyway. I only hope it doesn't turn into a flame party. The potential is surely there in any case. Common sense has a way of hitting me very hard at times. This particular time it left me wondering what it is I am trying to accomplish here. Fact is I have no idea, really. I like to think I am here to share my music and pictures while enjoying the work of others. Instead I find myself alternating between self promotion and self defense. This will not do at all. I am going to post these words on my journal and call it a day. I have a lot to think about, put this little brain of mine to work. GT
Hatsy	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 7:40 AM Err, my comment was made in a positive way! I hope that was the spirit in which it was taken Just trying to tell you that you have a lot of friends here GT....that was all.... And to point out that we all lose touch occasionally with those that have visited our pages, but the people with whom you strike up a friendship with will always be back
GTLive	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 9:18 AM I couldn't possibly take your comment in a negative way. It was a very nice thought and I appreciate it of course. My personal stand on internet friendship is that I try to love everyone, and those who come will come and those who go will go. My door stays open either way. Of course this has very little to do with my post on common courtesy, which has been bent out of context twice since I put it there. I must not have articulated it well in the first place, so I choose to drop it instead. No more bitching out of me. That bit about me trying too hard made me feel pathetic, so I took a step back and am evaluating the way I have been spending my time these past few months.
Hatsy	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 9:50 AM And onwards & upwards I say....
AGenePunckbowee	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 6:25 PM The common cold. If nothing else, it could've given me a scratchy voice which would be good in a couple of songs. Instead I get the runny nose, sneezing and coughing. Not good for vocals, even mine.
Hatsy	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 8:21 PM I hate it when someone sneezes all over you & says 'Ooh I hope you don't catch my cold...' mmmm....
GTLive	Date: April 8, 2005 @ 11:49 PM They really do that! I can't stand it when someone extends a piece of nasty food your way and says "This taste funny to you?"
zedsalt	Date: April 9, 2005 @ 11:49 AM Actual quote for DNR summer camp: "These potatoes taste poisonous! Here, try 'em." Turns out he was talking to his older sister. Having three older sisters myself, I can see how this might NOT have been irony.
Hatsy	Date: April 9, 2005 @ 12:55 PM What about when your mum used to spit on her hankerchief (when you were a kid of course!) an
