Ha I'm glad other people find that annoying, that's a much better way of dealing with it. I normally just get angry, once again disproportionatly to the whole situation

Electricity/gas companies. We keep being sent bills from two different companies, one of which (Spark) keeps giving us totally incorrect bills, then when we point out that we not only took several meter readings across the period they want to charge us for, emailed them about it at the time, and have dated photos showing it, informs us that we are wrong and that we need to pay whatever their estimate is. This estimate changes everytime we try talking to them (once it was about three times what it should be, another time it was £0 - we so should have just gone with that one when it came up really

). It's VERY annoying.

The other utilities company which keeps sending us stupidly high bills does not even provide us with electricity or gas in the first place. But they refuse to believe us when we point that out to them.

EDIT: Also, my ISP. They designed their network so that there is effectively only one router which it is possible to connect with - and that router is total shit. The number of problems we've had with it is ridiculous. I wanted to be playing the Hawken beta right now, but can't because I'm stuck with pings of ~150ms, with a good 20-30ms jitter.

Ha i know right

The electricity company was trying to charge me 25% extra each month than the average for last year. Just so they owe you money instead of you owing them. I got around this by changing the deal I was on then it seems to take the average plus a little cheaper for the new deal.

But now they tried saying that it's winter so I should be paying them more for the extra heating costs etc, I don't think they understand how an average works.

My heating is on a meter. So I get the fun of it running out in the middle of a shower

That's just cruel.

...my heating is included in the rent, along with the gas.

Today I got so pissed at work, that my coworkers noticed..
But I had good reasons.

Some people just manages to make sooooooooo much stress out of nothing, and instead of dealing with the so called problem, they wait until someone else comes to work, and then pour their stress and misery onto you, and then they become absent in mind and body, doing all the unimportant stuff that does so not matter.. I solved the problem in one minute. It was making breakfast for the kids a little bit earlier than planned, since we had Lucia day today.. How FUCKING hard can it be to do it alone?

?? (It is not hard, you just put the food on the table and get the plates, cups and knives...)

Great way to start the day, and then it just continued.. no one is able to plan or deliver important messages, especially annoying when we have Christmas arrangements for the kids. So some things should go smooth, but that's not possible. So first part of the day ended up being hell for the grown ups (especially me, since I like things to go smooth when it's alot to do), but at least the kids had fun. I hope..

Phew. Just had to get it out.

So is mine, only because I live in a dorm, we don't run out of hot water.

Except for that month last year where we didn't have any.

You need to use capital ALL's for further mocking, other than that all good

Can't believe that's your dad, thought it was some cocky 16 year old, can see why he would annoy you (other than your references to him fucking you over)

EmptyMemory · « **Reply #7053 on:** December 14, 2012, 08:44:58 AM »

It's understandable; sometimes I mistake him for a 16 year old too.

Lol, so did I.

Oh and btw, I hope you didn't post it, it would just make more misery for you than what it's worth.

EmptyMemory · « **Reply #7056 on:** December 14, 2012, 08:12:19 PM »

Nah, I didn't.
It helped to vent though.

My first college semester was a disaster thanks to a bad math teacher who sets awfully hard papers. I actually failed the math final (alond with nearly half the students) and I have to give a retest after the hols. Can't even chill in the hols :-(

The next semester has physics and mechanics-related subjects, which aren't all that hard but I'm really not interested in them, and I tend to not study well in subjects I'm not interested in. After the second sem though, I'll be in the clear. Everything's comp-sci oriented 3rd sem onwards.
