    My brother.

    I'll have to clarify why he grinds my gears, and this may be a lengthy read, so strap in and grab the popcorn if you want, this is a farce enough as it is.

    My brother is older than me, yet acts like a child. Don't mistake this for a mental illness, he's just an idiot. He seems to think that everything belongs to him and that he has free reign over when he can and can't do. For example, I have my laptop, and naturally, I will want to play games on it. My brother knows this, so he tries to get me to allow him to use my old steam account to play Left 4 Dead on his computer (something he should not have, simply because he only plays games on it, the laptop he screwed up with too much porn would suffice for everything he had to do for college). Whilst I stood my ground and repeatedly told him to make an easier password on his (his incompetence knows no bounds), I eventually had to, given that my parents seem to enforce such narcissistic behaviour with impunity, at least as far as he is concerned.

    He is the kind of person who should not be allowed technology, failing that, allowed outside with any amount of currency and outside of two meters from a responsible adult. Of course, none of these apply. he is the one with a desktop computer (that he punched because he bought a small tower then proceeded to put a GPU in. Yes, really), when I need it more than him. Now that Skyrim has been released, I have gotten no peace for anything, work, trying to think straight, you name it. Those who have Skyrim will empathise for the frame rate drops and crashes that it holds in its innards. Much like Fallout 3/ GoTY, I fear it will break the console. If it does, I lose ~£100 of content, simply because I've accessed my content from friends' houses and have recovered from dead units before now, leaving me on my last activation, which I have claimed back now. This has left me pretty darn pissed, as you can imagine.

    But anyway, that's enough from me. Something to lighten the mood, perhaps?

    Sorry to hear that md. Hope it all gets sorted out. I have siblings and parents like that who are terrible with technology, but then sometimes I wonder if I'm any better. At least I remember to back up and do a drive clean now and again...

    My current bother? Why are they making HD re-releases of the Jak and Daxter series and still no Spyro HD?

    This dodgy Internet that I am using at work. It's always cutting out at the most inconvenient of times and it's bloody irritating to say the least.

    Currently, it's only letting me view WZ and Google and won't display anything else. Not only can't I browse the other areas of the Interwebz, but I also can't even check Companies House for work related stuff either.

    The students who act like fools at my school. I can't wait to leave.

    It makes me go on fits of rage for how stupid they act. And I have a disability, but yet I'm one of the better students. And no, this is more that them not doing work. It's much worse.

    I can't say college is much better. Depends where you go and what level your courses are (intro vs major-specific). I can tell you people are a lot nicer (bullying doesn't exist because you're all adults, you don't have to see anyone outside of class, and no one knows anyone else so you don't have to be "cool"), and professors will make you grade your partners after group projects, so kids who don't work get royally effed.

    Anyhow, pooping grinds my gears. Wiping, too. It's so gross.

    I hate it when you look at the lobby list in Wipeout HD, you choose a race but a millisecond before you join the room the lobby list rearranges itself and you end up joining a room that you didnt intend to lol... its even more annoying if they start the race before you can leave, especially if its an eliminator with a target of 600 lol.

    Spiders in my car!!

    I hate them! They're frightening me! Eight eyes and eight legs - they must be aliens! It's very difficult not to fall in panic, when they hang around in front of my nose while driving car. At home, Flint kills them, but he wasn't there, so I hadn't no choice and must did it myself .

    Damn creatures, why don't they stay outside, where they belong to?

    To change the car doesn't work. They also were in my old car. I nearly had an accident, because a spider was abseiling at the side window and I didn't pay attention to the curve. I rammed the kerb, but I came back on the street before I crashed into a street sign. Thank god I just destroyed a rim, not the whole car.

    Ahhh, a former friend of mine had similar experiences towards cars and spiders. I really hate them but fortunately, my girlfriend puts them away when I scream like a 5 year old girl.

    Ubisoft. Their UPlay service has been down all day meaning I can't play Anno 2070 that I stumped up £20 for. And they haven't even had the decency to at least comment. Disgusting company

    The Internet.
    Some say that its the best source for information... I say its the best source for conflicting information.
    My cat became ill not long ago so i browsed the internet for information and half the vet websites i visited said she could die within 24 hours the other half said that it was nothing to worry about.
    Im noticing this more and more on nearly every subject and it really grinds my gears lol.
    Also if you ever have problems with your health, Never look online... it would probably scare you to death lol, just see a doctor asap.
    My cat is fine now if you was wondering... it was just a urinary tract blockage and the vet sorted it out! i just have to take her twin sister in on monday because she also has the same symptoms.
    Stay healthy

    ^ This post, right here.

    Internet doctor site drive me nuts. It's like they're TRYING to make everyone a hypochondriac. Best example I have is WebMD: Yellow tinge to tongue? You might be constipated...or you have AIDS.

    I'm not even remotely kidding.

    I've seen so many cases about this. Definitely, you can not trust the Internet for such things. What's wrong with the healthcare centres?

    On a similar note, I've been trying to get fit over the last few months, and the amount of contradicting information on the net is baffling. Any topic, whether it's weight training, cardio, nutrition, has polar opinions stated as fact in numerous places, often seemingly trustworthy sources. It's very frustrating.
