Well doncha know that in SL you aren't even real, so your time and money aren't either.
I don't run into too many people expecting something for nothing or little, but enough.

pancake · 09-08-2012, 05:16 PM

Just because terms like BRB, AFK, LOL and so forth are all formed by using the first letter of each word of the phrase, does NOT mean that you can do that with all phrases, not if you expect people to understand you.

I hate when medication for A helps that but causes problems B, C, D.

*cries*

I can't throw up one more time or I'll die beside a toilet.

**Soen Eber** · 09-16-2012, 06:46 PM

I stared at my computer for 45 minutes yesterday quietly shouting "Die, Microsoft, Die!" as all of a sudden 8 security updates rolled in as I was shutting down. I had to stay at the coffee shop for an extra 45 minutes, deathly afraid of bricking my laptop if I even breathed or accidentally jolted a key or mouse. When they were done, another security update rolled in, adding another five minutes.

If I had left when the place closed down instead of leaving early like I did ... I don't know what would have happened to the laptop.

...and I had only updated the day before :/

And today I found another "toolbar" had landed on my laptop (I've been doing the rounds of installing software to my new (to me) laptop, and the uninstall process hung. Some sites I had once trusted (download.com) are no longer usable to me because of all the bloatware and advertising that gets forced down my throat.

**Void** · 09-16-2012, 08:53 PM

word to the wise, turn off automatic updates and use the "notify, but do not download" option instead. no more surprise downloads to worry about interrupting, no more being caught in updates.

My rant: why are there so many morons online? Seriously, I haven't been in SL much this week, but I go in this weekend and there's some moron who's rookie-training in my hockey league and already has one conduct warning, then today the same guy proceeds to call my RL wife a cunt after she takes him to task for further dropping f-bombs on another manager. Needless to say he is shown the door, but man, I get tired of these people.

**Sredni Eel** · 09-22-2012, 10:52 AM

I'm a total space nerd, so when I learned the Shuttle Endeavor was flying over my neck of the woods yesterday, I got really excited. The jet carrying the Shuttle was flying at 1000-1500 feet, and was to circle a number of major landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Nasa-Ames research center at Moffet Field in Mountain View, CA.

The school where I work is only five miles away from Moffet, so we would get a great view of the thing.

I stood on a play structure, along with about 400 excited and antsy kids, who were all screaming and saying "THERE IT IS ZOMG!" to every airliner passing overhead.

The entire school went outside to watch the thing fly by. We stood there for 45 minutes, but NOBODY FREAKING SAW THE THING.

A little while later, a coworker, who had the day off, sent me a picture she snapped from the roof of her house.

It's neat, but DAMMIT, I really wanted to see it fly by.

Dancien Graves · 09-27-2012, 01:39 PM

Dear AT&T, you fuck right the hell off.

You send me the wrong phone when I start new service. I call, you tell me to send it back and all shall be good and that they will charge the new phone (the one I wanted in the first fucking place) to my bill. I do as you ask.

Today, you tell me that since I sent the phone back without activating it (BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK WOULD I ACTIVATE A PHONE I HAVE NO INTENTION OF USING) they will just cancel the line and that there is no way to bill the new phone to my account because I haven't been with you for six months.

Well fuck-o's, with me you didn't even last a goddamn week. The rest of my family can keep you but...

I'm calling Sprint.

Dear people who make landscaping thing in SL:

I'll use small words: Stop. Making. Things. No. Mod.

I WANT to buy your stuff. I WANT to give you money. What I don't want is your deciding how I use it. I have no way to know if you've fullbrighted something- which I then can't turn off. Yes, it's lovely of you to include multiple sizes in the box- what happens when none of them work for me? Since there's no way to determine scale from the photo, how the hell am I supposed to know?

For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would make a landscaping item like a tree or a bush no mod. MAKE THE FLIPPING THING MODIFIABLE OR IM NOT BUYING IT.

No love whatsoever,
me- the person who drops 5 figures on landscaping crap every time the seasons change.

Isabeau Imako · 10-05-2012, 03:28 PM

I was sent this by e-mail, and it made me laugh. I could easily thank SLU, too...

Quote:

As we progress into 2012, I want to thank you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet.

I must send my special thanks for the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I can't have a drink in a bar because I fear I'll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern , I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer buy fuel without taking someone along to watch the car, so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.

I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer. And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer go to the cinema because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

I no longer go to shopping centers because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me..

Thanks to you I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

And thanks to your great advice I can't ever pick up a dime coin dropped in the car park because it was probably placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor’s ex mother-in law's second husband's cousin's best friend's beautician!

Oh, and by the way...

A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

P. S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet..

NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY…

**Sredni Eel** · 10-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Major rant and pet peeve: Craigslist.

I swear, people who read the ads are really, really, really bad at it. I put an ad up, complete with pictures, to sell some of my baby leopard geckos.

The title was "SIX JUVENILE LEOPARD GECKOS - All about Four Months Old"

I included birth dates, gender, size, picture, adoption fee, and the words "YOU MUST PICK UP BECAUSE I DO NOT DELIVER" and "NO CAGES AVAILABLE".

Within twenty minutes I got twenty emails from people asking me if I would sell them my adults, if I had any deals on cages, what genders I had, and would I deliver. And my personal favorite, "They're $20?" (it said so right on the post they were twenty bucks each).

Seriously, reading comprehension. It's your friend.

Do not email me questions you can easily get answered if you read the ad.

Idiots.

It took me a day, but I yanked that ad. I couldn't take the flood of Stupid coming from Craigslist.

Dear Kinky People of SL:

I have no issues with your kink. I have no issues with your use of RLV. I have no issues with your RP, whatever it is.

Here's the thing, though- where it comes to business in SL, whether that's at a store, or renting on a sim, or whatever business it happens to be, STOP YOUR BULLSHIT.

I **DO NOT CARE** that your scripted RLV device doesn't allow you to IM/receive IMs/Teleport/eat meatloaf/whatever.

Get. A. Freaking. Alt. to do business with. I am NOT working around your scripted gadgets. I REALLY won't do it. I will ignore your obvious, passive-aggressive attempts to make me do this. If your RLV device is such that you're not meant to IM people? Alt up. or live without IMs. I am ***NOT*** IMing you to get around your device.

Furthermore- go OOC for business stuff. I DO NOT CARE (omg I do not care) about your fetish gear, the noises it makes, the emotes to draw attention to it... None of it. What I care about is completing whatever business transaction it is and going back to work.

I do not care about your RP language- stop roping me into it. I did my thesis on BDSM- I promise you, I get it. But learn to use possessive pronouns and stop the broken D/s speech whilst doing business or so help me I will completely ignore you and I *will not care* if the transaction never takes place, because it will be worth it to me *just to not have to deal with your shit*.

Being kinky is not new, it's not novel, and unless it's your kink, it's not even interesting. Do anything you like- but stop roping the people you deal with business-wise into it when they're not in on your RP/Kink/Whatthehellever.

Cut. It. Out. And. Get. An. Alt.

Seriously annoyed,
me.

i am a shape shifter , one of my favourite avies is a pitch black woman avatar, the skin has no details its just shape and a lot of whole nothing black. and not black as in looking like a black (race) woman its just black black.
I get kicked out of pg sims regularly because well i dont wear clothes , as i dont need clothes theres NOTHING to COVER!!!! .and still they kick me , pg kinda has to include clothes in some very narrowminded way . in the beginning i tried talking , too no avail tho.
i even had teams of security people , landlords, minions and what not tp ing in to asses me if i was or wasnt considered to be "nude".
but the real fun begins when i tp into a random popular dance club. comments include : did u sit in the sun to long , hey u dont rez , u are scary , what are u , u are nicer then u look , are u black irl???

morons narrowminded morons, all of them !
sl is much more fun being something different

Of course, going to a popular, dance club in that sort of outfit is not, you know, to show off that difference and provoke a bit?

Quite honestly, if you go to popular places looking extremely different from other people there, expect comments. And calling commenters "narrow-minded morons" is not exactly going to help acceptance either.

I'm fine with different. I just don't expect everybody to refrain from comment if I go somewhere and that "difference" stands out rather strongly.

Nor do I consider people who don't accept differences as "narrow-minded morons" just because their tastes differ, or they are having a (lame) attempt to be funny / start up a conversation.

Romana · 01-29-2013, 01:53 PM

Why is it that when you want to TP into a sim which is full, or offline, if you are age-verified you automatically get dumped at an Adult "safe hub"(where if you hang around more than a microsecond people assume you are there to find/do "teh sexies".
My accounts are age-verified because sometimes friends happen to live or have a club or shop on an adult-rated sim.
If I set preferences to only General and Moderate, then the viewer complains the next time I try to go to one of the aforementioned places, and insists on being switched back to Adult.
There ought at least to be an easy preferences toggle button for the toolbar.

**Sredni Eel** · 01-29-2013, 02:55 PM

To the store/club owner with the greeter that just sent me 20 copies of the same note card:

Thanks for the warning that people should never set foot inside your establishment, but please for the love of God, do NOT bitch to me when your application for the hunt I'm helping organize rejects you. I have yet to meet anyone who wants to be spammed that bad. Not even Hawaiians, and we all know how much they love their Spam.

Also, to the one person in hunt chat who constantly pipes up asking if this is okay or that is okay regarding the rules:

You read the rules. I assume you understand them. PLEASE STOP TALKING, or I will recommend to my fellow organizers to give you the boot just because you're being so bloody irritating. You've been in the hunt several times before, AND YOU ALWAYS FREAK OUT AND ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS *in group chat*.

Stop, before I layeth the smack down.

Thank you.

Dear Kinky People of SL: I have no issues with your kink. I have no issues with your use of RLV. I have no issues with your RP, whatever it is. Here's the thing, though- where it comes to business in SL, whether that's at a store, or renting on a sim, or whatever business it happens to be, STOP YOUR BULLSHIT. I DO NOT CARE that your scripted RLV device doesn't allow you to IM/receive IMs/Teleport/eat meatloaf/whatever. *Get. A. Freaking. Alt.* to do business with. I am NOT working around your scripted gadgets. I REALLY won't do it. I will ignore your obvious, passive-aggressive attempts to make me do this. If your RLV device is such that you're not meant to IM people? Alt up. or live without IMs. I am *NOT* IMing you to get around your device. Furthermore- go OOC for business stuff. I DO NOT CARE (omg I do not care) about your fetish gear, the noises it makes, the emotes to draw attention to it... None of it. What I care about is completing whatever business transaction it is and going back to work. I do not care about your RP language- stop roping me into it. I did my thesis on BDSM- I promise you, I get it. But learn to use possessive pronouns and stop the broken D/s speech whilst doing business or so help me I will completely ignore you and I will not care if the transaction never takes place, because it will be worth it to me just to not have to deal with your shit. Being kinky is not new, it's not novel, and unless it's your kink, it's not even interesting. Do anything you like- but stop roping the people you deal with business-wise into it when they're not in on your RP/Kink/Whatthehellever. Cut. It. Out. And. Get. An. Alt. Seriously annoyed, me.

Romana Senior Member lost in time... Join Date: Jul 2011 Posts: 728 My Mood:	Re: Post your rants Why is it that when you want to TP into a sim which is full, or offline, if you are age-verified you automatically get dumped at an Adult "safe hub"(where if you hang around more than a microsecond people assume you are there to find/do "teh sexies". My accounts are age-verified because sometimes friends happen to live or have a club or shop on an adult-rated sim. If I set preferences to only General and Moderate, then the viewer complains the next time I try to go to one of the aforementioned places, and insists on being switched back to Adult. There ought at least to be an easy preferences toggle button for the toolbar.

I have yet to meet anyone who wants to be spammed that bad. Not even Hawaiians, and we all know how much they love their Spam. Also, to the one person in hunt chat who constantly pipes up asking if this is okay or that is okay regarding the rules: You read the rules. I assume you understand them. PLEASE STOP TALKING, or I will recommend to my fellow organizers to give you the boot just because you're being so bloody irritating. You've been in the hunt several times before, AND YOU ALWAYS FREAK OUT AND ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS in group chat. Stop, before I layeth the smack down. Thank you.
