I wouldn't mind meeting old acquaintances, but I have no memory for names or faces. You don't want to ask their name, particularly when they're acting like they just saw you yesterday. It's just a whole British sitcom worth of awkwardness, trying to feign acknowledgement.

Conversely, everyone in the universe seems to know my name and what I've been doing since birth, like I was on the side of a milk carton or something. I don't know how this sort of information is getting about, perhaps this is Facebook's doing.

When I feel guilty about sitting home and not being out and then feeling bad about not staying home when I'm out.
Very old story I guess.

Getting thirsty and then forgetting to drink something until three hours later.

Meeting people you used to work with at an old job.
I wouldn't say that the actual occurrence of meeting an old co-worker/classmate pisses me off as much as when they call me by name and I cant for the life of me remember what their name is.

But then it is always fun trying to play along without actually having to use their name. Suddenly I start using words like "dude" or "bud" way more often then normal.

Running into an old boss that you hated at an old job is really awkward. They try to act like they're truly interested in how you're doing when you know, deep down, that they don't. On top of that, they look like they want to run away at the first break in the converstation.
And even though we feel dead inside, we can still say, "At least we tried."

You know what to do when your router wants to be an ass ?

If it's sunny, and your router is on the sunny side of a window, it will overheat quite fast.
Otherwise, I'd say it's either old and dusted like your basement or just plain abused.

It's actually not in the sun since the room always has the blinds down. I really want to rip those damn antennas off. Pisses me off so much.

Lol, I play games on WiFi and have no problems with it. 2 comps connected with it, and 2 cell phones via Wi-Fi. No problems at all.

When silly users on the tracker who haven't read the rules properly come to experienced uploaders' torrents and bitch about the torrent being incomplete.

Really?  That's one of the things on the tracker that amuse me.  I kind of like it. 

First off, sometimes they do notice something that might help improve the description (even if something isn't wrong with it, per se, something might be kind of confusing in the layout or information).

Secondly, it's a new person contributing to the tracker!!!  Even if they're wrong it's great that they're trying to get involved.  Maybe after somebody points out that they're wrong they'll try harder to be right next time and give an informative tip.  Hell, just a week or two ago I gave some bad advice on a torrent description (Kam pointed out my error and suggested a better way  ;D).

I know when I first started commenting on descriptions I was guilty of giving wrong criticisms.  Nobody reads the wiki right when they join the site, they read it after they've been here for a few months or a year and have a growing interest/stake in the community/site.

^ Sev, it's one thing to point out mistakes in the description and what not; but to say "...I'm wondering why an incomplete collection was even allowed up...and then abandoned" (Taken from the Nana to Kaoru torrent) just means that the person doesn't understand the rules and guidelines of the site and is just bitching. The guy even accused Sherlock of abandoning the torrent! Sherlock left a comment saying he was going to bed and that he'd seed when he woke up.

I like when people give constructive criticism or point out mistakes in torrents, too. I do it all the time. But shit like this is unnecessary IMO and like froods said, it's just bitching for no good reason.
