    Take the cd, fcuk it out the window, and remember that not understanding everything about computers just means that you don't spot more errors with the machine!* :p

    The PS3 wireless controller. I had got up to check my food in the oven (Big Al's Chicken Breast; taste's great!) and left the controller on the table beside the sitting room door. When I returned and sat back down in my comfy bean bag I looked around and saw the ''Effing kunt'' of a controller 2 metres from me

    The stupid crap touchscreen tills in work that are so unresponsive when I went to press 2 x vodka and 1 red bull all I got was 2 x red bull. :mad: Luckily the music was quite loud so the customers didn't hear the obscenities directed at the till.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    An icon on the computer for not showing me as being connected to this interwebz thingy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Oh the Wii, I can see the router, I'll connect to the router but I'll be damned if I'll let you do anything online.

    In fairness it's got the bare minimum of a signal but still if you don't want to connect say so and stop tempting me with intermittent connection.

    Hate that too, the worst thing is it lets you make your selection before telling you it only does 50s. Then there's amounts listed that it will never give out the stubborn ****.

    The toilet roll holder because I just finished going for a dump and the fucker was empty.

    Luckily there's a box of tissues on the sink.

    best thing is to react in a calm collected manner. rent a truck, get some rope, somehow hook said rope around the offending teller machine and pull it out of the wall. that'll learn 'em!

    the ground was probably confused, thinking of what it did wrong to deserve such punishment. I hope you apologised thereafter

    That's a bit OTT and time consuming. Far better to hit it a couple of slaps so it shuts down and ruins everyone else's day too. ;)

    Every morning I wake up with the plaster cast on leg/ankle the air goes blue, seriously fed up and bored with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Fall_Guy


    An ash-tray placed precariously beside my bed. Every morning I step out of bed, place my foot on it, flip ash-tray and contents of said ash tray on the floor. I then proceed to clear up contents of ash-tray and place them back in the ash-tray, leaving it in the same place for me to step on again as I return to my leaba that evening. As i repeat the ash-tray flippage I tend to curse at it, which the profanities becoming more intense with each passing day.

    I can't help but think that I'm really cursing at myself for being so stupid on so many levels. The greatest level of said stupidity is exemplified by the fact that I don't even smoke. This ash-tray has been sitting there for about two-weeks after a few of my mates were in the room smoking. Still, stupid f*cking ashtray!

    It has been about a year since I directed my rage at an inanimate object.
    It involved a plate and the offenders vechile.
    I nearly did myself an injury.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    The door I stubbed my toe on last night while taking a mid night leak. I tore the front off my baby toe pretty bad and the language I directed at the bastid of a door nearly caused the paint on the wall to melt.

    It's actually the same door I put my fist through a while ago while drunk and p!ssed off. It's on now mutherfukker :mad:

    The six ton forklift truck that took it upon itself to crush my finger. The relationship between the forklift and me was never the same afterwards.

    Who was it that spoke of "The innate hostility of the inanimate object."?

    Click "Start", "Accessories", "System tools", "System Restore", "Restore my computer to an earlier date". Select a date from some time back on the calendar that appears. Alternatively, if that doesn't work, download a picture of Gorgeous Gormley and his bike from the Internet and tell the computer that you will use it as a screen saver if it doesn't start to behave itself. That usually fixes things.

    It's be nice to mods day:D

    My dad's bike. He uses is everyday so he keeps it in the hall because it's more important to him than his children. I whacked my toe on it last night.
