Things you wish you could say (everywhere)

Why the fnck would you inject yoursefl with peroxide without finding out the repercussions first?

And the next nominee for the Darwin Award is…

That sounds really painful. I can’t imagine the train of thought on that one.

I did not mis-wire the new outdoor (mains voltage) LED lighting. I did not catastrophically destroy the PSU as a result (the magic smoke did literally escape). That did not trip the main breaker and send the house into darkness. I do at least know where the fault is :anguished:

Calling you stupid would be like putting brakes on a brick.

What is up with the color scheme of Acrobat Reaer DC? Everything’s in pastel colors, even the areas that are in gray, and there’s no distinct border between the page section and the surrounding sections. It blends/blurs right in.

I hate it. I have 10 and DC, and when DC was pushed to my machine it took over as the default for PDF documents. I do not like having multiple tabs for documents inside one window. I pull up half a dozen PDF documents at a time usually, so I arrange them so I can use them, having them in tabs is not helpful.

I guess they’re trying to match it up with Windows 8 and 10? That seems to be the trendy color scheme right now. Office 2013 and 2016 do it too. IMO Pastel colors are best left back in the 1980s where they belong.

Yeah, my new work laptop has Reader DC and it’s a weird interface to me. Adobe tends to be a moving target as their ‘UI Refresh cycle’ seems to never get the entire product line, which is a bit sad as their whole model seemed to be to push a Suite option on you for years anyway, even though you only really wanted Photoshop and maybe 1 other app.

Seems people are losing the UI plot. Why not have the customer customize it the way he/she/it wants, even though it’ll end up like this :

OS/2’s Workplace Shell had the ultimate in customization…

This is from the era when I could really say that Mac OS was the more elegant option.

I’m tired of all of this dicking around. I don’t care for anything fancy. Just get these last few things done as quickly as possible, as simply as possible, as affordable as possible. I don’t need or want fancy, what I need is a house that’s livable.

Yes, you arrogant prick, I know what you are doing when you sit in the aisle seat with nobody beside you. It’s the same thing as the people who “accidentally” leave their newspaper on the seat beside them.
Unfortunately for you I’m just bloody minded enough to make you move so I can sit down even though there are other free seats around. In fact, if I see people being inconsiderate I’ll go out of my way to make sure they don’t benefit from it.
Sit on it and swivel you tosser.

But if there were other seats how was he being inconsiderate?

The trains fill up a lot more before they leave. There are always people standing in the aisles - I haven’t seen any trains around that time that have empty seats other than when there are pricks like him,
He most certainly was being inconsiderate.

@MikeP I regularly push my way from the front of the bus all the way to the back where there are 5 seats in a row, but only 2 or 3 people using them. 4 at most, with those people spread out over the seats evenly so as to not leave any open/uneven space. I push into those. People scramble out of my way pretty quickly.

One time, there was some idiot trying to impress some girl by putting his feet up on the back of the seat that was near him, but rotated 90 degrees to face the aisle. I sat right down in that seat with his feet up behind me. He fell on his head trying to get out of the seat without kicking me in mine.

People are the worst.

Yeah, the advantage of being a fairly large potentially intimidating guy :smile:
I’m not quite as large as you and nowhere near as scary (I don’t have a beard or a kilt), but people don’t generally mess with me either and if I ask them to move they do so.

On the DC subway I find hanging onto the bar and being a bit clumsy makes space for my wife on the bench. If I look like I’m going to land on someone they tend to move together. Or move their damn bag.

You are openly dismissive of my interests, and you dislike (if not despise) everything I believe in, but you think we should date.

Yeah, call me back three days after you have a lobotomy. Or the apocalypse. Whichever comes last.
