SOMEONE THREW OUT MY GODDAMN $30 BOTTLE OF WHISKEY

My face when:
I survived the Rapture and all I got was this smug sense of being right.

Had to call the cops on my neighbor beating his girlfriend an hour or two ago.  First time in my life I've ever had to call 911.  I'm pretty sure he saw me, and I hope I don't get a brick through my window in the future, but I didn't have much choice.

Dude that's terrible... I hope she's okay, and props to you for having the balls to call the police on his ass. I'd probably keep a bat by your door though. lol

So we all know I'm trying to buy a house. That's stressful in and of itself, right? Well since July 17th, the day I made my offer, I've been blown off and dicked around by the sellers. They've even been avoiding phone calls from my realtor who's been my professionally polite attack dog since I signed the paperwork and gave a deposit. I've given them plenty of deadline extensions and they still can't get their heads out of their asses to actually do something besides be totally unavailable. I've retracted my offer and got my deposit back, but I'm still fucking pissed. How can people be so inept at life?

I'm trying to see the positive in this - I didn't get this house for a very good reason. But I wanted it, goddamnit. Nice big yard for Jourgensen, quiet neighborhood, a basement that wasn't dank and sketchy... Ugh! I've been making this face :hmm: for two days now.

Good for you, drone.  You made the right decision.  Not only do these sellers not deserve your business or money, but you probably saved yourself headaches down the road.  The first thing I think when I hear things like this is the seller knows there is something really wrong with the house that would fail inspection and are trying to fix it before they get locked into a contract.

If it's already passed inspection and they can't honestly function enough to commit  to deadlines and sign paperwork, then who knows what surprises await you should you obtain their house.  They would probably leave a stack of leaky car batteries somewhere for you or take the carpet with them or some bullshit like that.

I honestly have thoughts akin to Richard Pryor's 'Moving' when reading about situations like this....
"There are high level techniques such as the mountain peaks, which are covered in fog; you can't see them, but they are there".

It's one thing to get fucked over by your co-workers. It's a whole new can of worms when you confront your boss and his response is pretty much "Too fucking bad. You need to be more accommodating to her needs because she's having personal issues."

Fuck you, you fucking fuck. :hmm:

is it wrong that I'm actually rooting for my work to go bankrupt so I can get laid off and collect EI for a year?

*sigh*

definitely not.  I wish that all the time but it's highly unlikely when they are sitting on $5 billlion in cash.  8(  fucking hate this place.

well that sucks...it's definitely a possibility for my work though :lol:

while I may like the Omani people. and the area, I definitely do NOT like the retarded Brits who run the school. Three weeks and I STILL can't wash clothes in the washer because the drains are clogged. The solution? Send a fucking washer repair man to tell me the washer works great. *tears hair out* Now my kitchen drain doesn't want to work, the light in the main bath has decided to be a strobe light, and the master bath commode is ready to fall over. I have no idea who to call to get shit repaired since obviously the people who are supposed to be in charge have got no fucking clue...  :hmm:

fuck this life, really.  It's amazing how I can tell things are going to turn to crap really fast and my only choices are shitty and shittier when it comes to minimizing the impact.
