The sign is only an invitation. You have to approach them. Otherwise, they're just crazy people disregarding personal space.
f-ing update message on my f-ing computer teling me "there are f-ing updates available" a mere 24 hours after I f-ing updated everything to make the f-ing pop-up go away.You don't even get an f-ing "No, thanks." or "Dismiss" button anymore like you used to. Now you only have a choice betwen "restart now" and "remind me later".
F-ing condescending, much?
windows updates are like herpesnot that i would know
I'm on a Mac, though........and with every new OS it feels more like a PC.
Grr computers, Kat. I feel your pain.Today I would like to rant about the tax man please!
Last night I received a rather scary letter telling me I owed them a scary amount.
Today, having phoned them I discover it's still from an error my employer made in 2010-11!!! And that they tried to tax the wrong income source for a few years. But it's OK, they ARE actually taking it this year from my full time job income, and that the scary amount is actually being reduced as we speak.
So why send me a scary letter??? I was actually trembling this morning for fear they may try to take it in one lump sum (as they have tried to before!).
No, they just sent me a scary letter over an amount I'm already paying back from 5 years ago!! :-(
Stupid tax office!!!
Lol scary letters...I know what you mean. When I got out of the hospital there was a letter from the insurance company already in my mailbox telling me they would not pay because I could have taken care of it at home. I was like what??? Hubby called them and it was a mistake on their part. What a way to wish you prompt healing. my rant is about stupid mistakes made by stupid people/companies who are too stupid to check things before sending stupid letters!
I remember once having to call an insurance company and explain their policy to them. It worked, and they paid the claims. I recently started getting OVERDUE!!! notices for the amount of $7.90 from a medical service company who filed the insurance claim wrong. Some people told me I should just pay it, but I wouldn't because 1) I didn't owe it, and 2) if I paid it this time, what happens when they have to bill me for a far larger amount in the future. Their billing office finally got a clue and filed the claim properly--more than a year after the original claim.
Doctors are usually nice; it's their non-medical staff that piss you off.

An update for Windows Office ended up screwing my Windows Office so bad I can't use it anymore (I did try to fix it but any fix I did was temporary), which really sucks since it had so many nifty things like a dictionary and the ability to pick up right where you left off. Libres nice and all, but it doesn't have those nifty things.
I hate updates.

No laughter here!
And I triple the notion of I hate autocorrect. Autocorrect is a brainless idiot who should keep its opinions to itself.

We bill you directly and give you the forms to send in a claim on your own and **coughMAYBEcough** your insurance will reimburse you."

I think the reason for that is that when they register as a provider for an insurance company they have to agree to take a lesser amount. By letting you file your own claim, they don't have to agree to anything. Example: I was in a hospital a dozen years ago, and they had to transfer me to another hospital for a special procedure limited to certain hospitals by the AMA; each hospital billed me for $75,000 each, outside of other medical expenses. Per agreement with my insurance company, they accepted $5000 each, and my co-payment for each was $100. Nice to have insurance!

Autocorrect, as well as Spell Checker's inability to tell what it is I'm trying to spell. You know what I'm trying to spell, dang it! Why do you refuse to offer it in your list of corrections!
Google's auto-suggest usually makes me look like a psychopath. Why yes, Google, how did you know the word I wanted to follow 'robot' was 'Hitler'? O_o
Christina wrote: "Google's auto-suggest usually makes me look like a psychopath. Why yes, Google, how did you know the word I wanted to follow 'robot' was 'Hitler'? O_o"Effing search engines! Find everything but what I am looking for.
yes I really relate to the psychopath statement. I write sweet, clean romance and the autocorrect sometimes comes up with naughty things! I can't let them jump into these books...LOL! no matter now much they want to spice up the action.

Send it all over to my books. I will let just about anything in.

You lot are making me feel very glad for the NHS; we get sick, go to hospital, no bill. I pray this continues.
But as for auto correct; yeah, f you!!
You are a computer, you're not inside my head (yet), so don't pretend like you know what I'm going to goldfish! ;-p

A very controversial issue in the US. I'm hoping this thread doesn't degenerate into a political debate, because no good can come of it.

Ken wrote: "I'm hoping this thread doesn't degenerate..."Too late! This thread featuring intelligent, articulate sharing and expression of personal frustration has already bottomed out at the level of Alien nether regions!
;P
Political debates are as pointless as mac vs pc and pepsi vs coke, so worry not,they will be deleted if they happen and I will gleefuly give an extra eff you to anyone who tries to begin one.
I wanted to give this thread a 5-star review because it's pretty funny...But there are just so many f-bombs that I have to give it a 1-star rating. Gratuitous swearing just really makes me mad.

Mad as f%#@?
Or, mad as fudge?
Mad as fo dee oh do?
Mad as fiddlesticks?
Mad as fudgsicles?

F bombs?? I just meant "fudging", honest guv :-)

Haha. It's snowing, and I'm in a good mood.
(I deleted "Suck it" because you just can't put that sentiment near Julie Andrews.)
Try this instead:
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!"
"It's make like a tree and leave. You sound like an idiot when you get it wrong."
...and that's my idea for a new FUN thread. Movie quotes based on memory - how close can you get? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone mad yet? Don't worry. The sun'll come out tomorrow.
Enough stalling. Back to editing.
