I hate nothing more than the kickers in NCAA. I missed a 29 yarder from straight on with 20 seconds left to beat Wisconsin. I kicked it perfectly straight, but somehow it went wide right. Then the Badgers threw to 40 yard bombs and kicked a chip in with no time left. I ******* hate this game.

I was Michigan playing Penn State and I was up 14-7 with about 2:20 left. It was 4th down so I went for a 35 yard FG, which would've iced the game barring a score and then onside recovery for Penn State. So as I'm about to kick the FG my thumb slips off the stick and I miss it. Penn State proceeds to score a TD on three quick passes to tie the game up. Not the end of the world, I still have about 1:40 left with all three of my timeouts so I decide to go for the win. Forcier ends up throwing an interception on his first pass and Penn State scores two plays later. Now down 21-14, I still have all my timeouts and 1:10 left. Forcier ends up getting injured on a 3rd down incompletion. Robinson comes in for 4th down, Penn State blitzes leaving Kevin Koger wide open. Well I can't throw it quick enough, get hit just as I throw, and a defensive tackle intercepts the pass.

As a former employee of Best Buy (thankfully, it was not in sales), I can tell you that the managers in every department (except for one) at my store were dicks to the sales employees if they weren't selling a lot of merchandise, unless they were an attractive girl, in which case they would attempt to flirt with them.

Yeah, it just felt like they were trying to add things onto my order instead of actually trying to help me. I was just frustrated because I picked out a $475 laptop and walked out the door at $700+. It was on clearance and they had already made a restore disk(later figured out I could burn for free) on it so I had to pay an extra hundred for that.

Well, I am sorry you got screwed like that. I didn't last long in the computer department when I worked there because I would help people without pushing them to buy unnecessary ****.

Also, when you manager hears you tell a customer that they don't need to spend extra money on a certain brand of cables because the most generic ones are exactly the same quality, they don't take kindly to that.

I am pretty sure I knew more about computers than my manager.

Definitely sounds like the problem is starting from the top. Corporate is putting pressure on the managers and managers are putting pressure on the employees.

I usually have a unit in my Comp. Lit. class to help my students get around that problem when they go out and buy a laptop.

This thread makes me want to start playing video games again. I may just get a PS3, if I can swing it.

M.O.T.H. · 07-22-2010, 02:45 PM

Puppets. Especially puppets with human like qualities. I think they're the stupidest things ever. Just saying.

I haven't played video games in a long time; however, with my two best friends leaving the country (one is teaching in Japan, the other traveling) for the next 12 months, I will very likely be purchasing a PS3 and Madden so I have something to do besides going to the gym or my job.

Or you can just drink more beer. That always resolves the boredom issue with me.

I am sure this has been said before but its annoying when you go to the mall and a group of 4 or more people will walk side by side to one another and take up the whole area so it takes awhile to get around them. They always go really slow too.

I usually walk through them. They usually separate when I get to close. If they get an attitude I just laugh manically they usually speed up.

My avy wants a further explanation of this post.

Edit: Weird that I changed my avy and yet this post still fits.

Yoda is just fine...but like the stupid ones from crank yankers and the one's Jeff Dunham uses just piss me off for whatever reason.

Giantsfan1080 · 07-23-2010, 06:42 AM

Well I've never been in a real fight so I guess I grind your gears Bos.

hockey619 · 07-23-2010, 10:34 AM

people who drop those expressions like 'the proof is in the pudding.' no, it isnt. there better not be any-*******-thing in my pudding except pudding and my spoon. but i guess if there is, ill probably find the proof of who put that thing in my pudding in the pudding itself. damnit i still hate the expression

people who are loud on the phone or in the room your in when youre not far apart. its like, man im right here.

people who are your best friend...when they need you. but if there is someone more popular around by there standards then they s*** on you to look like a bad***. then go right back to thinking everythings cool and that they arent a total tool.

people who are disrespectful, condescending, arrogant, lack common courtesy or are selfish. i hate all that ****. im walking to the door, you look back, make eye contact when im only a few feet away, then let the door close and lock behind you so that i have to get out my building swipe to get into my dorm? **** you you prick. im trying to pull into traffic and the guy stays right on the other guys bumber so i cant get in or pull through to make a left? no, thats first class dont worry about it. the 4 seconds it might cost you in your ride to work or whatever are so pertinent that you cant wait to just let me through. i could go on for forever with this crap. im putting this in the i remember when thread: i remember when people werent total a-holes, they actually gave a crap about each other and people to some pride in being a good person over doing whatever the hell they had to do to get ahead.

guys who talk a ton of crap because they think that you wont mess with them if they talk like theyre tough guys. those guys are the first ones to fall down in a fight. always. the guy starts it almost always is the one who loses.

i hate these people:
im at hockey practice one night and this kids team is on the ice before us. as they come off the one dad is standing in the stands as his kid walks by to his locker room where his stuff is. the dad is wearing a full suit still, at 8 at night, has his blue tooth in his ear still, and has his blackberry out. he yells at his kid as he walks by 'hurry the **** up, lets go come on.'
ok pal we get it youre really ****ing important alright? you cant be away from work two seconds or be nice to your 6 year old kid cause youre just too damn important.
