I need to tell someone this.

Remember the guy I was telling you all, the one who still lives with his ex? I developed some feelings for him and he said the same as well. Well today, he told me that he likes other guy. I have a hunch that he's seeing another guy, someone posted a photo on Facebook and he replied all my messages with a one liner. I am so stupid you know. I know he's trouble but yet I choose to walk right in. And I was so nice to him, he didn't wanted to hang out even he knows I am in the city just because to meet him, he brought his ex to see a doctor and I was waiting for him about 2 hours sitting in a park, I followed him to get some supplement for his gym for our date, he took off the good luck bracelet I bought for him from Malaysia the next day I gave it to him. And what do I get? After he's telling he's seeing another guy, he told me their issues. How this guys doesn't trust him and he's looking for my advice, when I tell him that the longest message he typed to me was talking about another guy, he went ape shit about me. And you know what, I said sorry. I fucking said I am sorry. Why do I say that? Yea, right, I let everyone walk over me, spit on my face and I say thank you.

I was planning to make him a special birthday gift next week and take a bus to visit him. Screw him.

I agree with NEO, Glasvegas...

You're a great guy. Walk (run) away. You deserve so much better than this loser.

I have a few things that have been pissing me off as of late.
I suppose I'll start with the topic of job hunting.
I graduated from a local tech school with an ASE certification in Automotive AC systems, and a diploma. I can't get any dealer, even some sleazy backlot place to give me a second glance. They tell me They're not looking when they put an ad out, or that they're looking for someone with more experience. I have many interviews and these buttmunchers keep jerking me around.
"We want someone with more experience."
"Well how do I get that experience?"
"You have to work for such and such place"
"That's what I'm trying to do!"
Everyone wants someone experienced, but no one wants to give that experience. I applied at one place for a job as a Lube tech 6 months ago where I KNOW I'm over-qualified. but the application system sucks so bad that I got a call from career placement last week telling me to apply there. 6 months and no one's filled the position. Gee I wonder why? Picky bastards. It's just fluid and filter changes. Any moron with half an inkling of car maintenance knows how to do it. Tomorrow I have an interview for a sales job at Subaru and hopefully that goes much more smoothly.

The other thing that's been pissing me off as of late is moronic Honda and Toyota owners. "Oh you should buy a Honda/Toyota". How about no. Aside from my high maintenance Chevy Monte Carlo Z34, my American cars have never let me down and always been reliable. "Oh but Honda/Toyota are the most reliable cars..." No, They aren't. I looked at the figures. Do you know who tops the reliability charts? Buick. Behind them? Jaguar. Behind them? Ford. Admit it. You're just a brand whore who doesn't do any research and buys anything with such and such badge on it. I'm not brand loyal either. My next car is going to be an import, because I want a cheap car with manual transmission and AWD, which is something no American company offers. Do you know which companies offer that in a car that meets my tastes (OHC engine, aftermarket support, performance potential)? Just two. Subaru and Suzuki. Everyone keeps telling me go Subaru cuz Suzuki makes crap cars. Really. When did you own a Suzuki? Oh never? That's right. You were too busy being a badge-flaunting whore to even research any other car. So guess what my next car'll be? That's right. A used Suzuki SX4 AWD hatchback with a 5 speed stick.

Oh and hybrid drivers piss me off something fierce. You're NOT saving the planet. You're NOT "Eco-friendly". You're just another pathetic loser who bought into a fad. The batteries in hybrids are extremely un-environmentally friendly. The nickel for the batteries is mined in Canada, sent to Sweden where it's refined, then sent to Japan where it's put into the batteries and put into the car. It's so complicated that it does MORE environmental damage to make 1 hybrid, than a Range Rover SUV will do during it's entire lifetime. Oh you got it for gas mileage? Funny as there's other cars that get equally good mileage. The Chevrolet Cruze Eco for example gets 42 MPG on the highway when equipped with the 6 speed manual according to the EPA. and many owners are easily getting 50+ MPG with them. But it's not a hybrid. It uses a small 1.4L turbocharged engine, and a transmission geared for economy (not that they aren't quick either). Oh you want an automatic? You lazy bastard, you should get a VW Jetta TDI. It runs on diesel and is much more environmentally friendly than the equivalent gasoline car. VW's are unreliable? Well... I can't argue with that (ex boyfriend had one). Well then wait for the Chevrolet Cruze Turbo Diesel. It comes out this Summer and come only with an automatic and matches the Eco version for economy, and bests it in tail-pipe emissions.
Fucking moronic sheeple.

People treat you like crap cause you allow them to, you always have a choice anthing else is just an excuse.

@Stickshift:

Chevrolet Cruze Eco, huh?

Hmm.

EDIT:

To add to your post, we have had the technology for 50mph+ for many years now. Very few people know that the erstwhile Chevrolet Sprint got 50+.

Oh I know. The Pontiac Fiero was rated at 40 MPG. But both those cars were before airbags and other now mandated safety equipment that adds weight. Also, not to bust hole in that, but the Chevrolet Sprint was a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, a later variant of which was sold here as the Suzuki Swift and Geo Metro twins.

Go with the Subaru sport.

AWD, assembled in Ohio,

I love mine and every Subaru

driver I've talked to feels the same way.

Ask Don Quixote, I think he has two.

Rant:

Why do people with 25 or 50 items go in the Express Lane, where it very clearly reads "15 items or less"? Are you an English major who can't add, or a Math major who can't read, Dumbo?

You know what's weird? You'd think the worst offenders would be the youngest, who don't yet know the "rules". But NO! The worst offenders by far are those my age or older, who really ought to know better!

That reminds me of a funny story of when I was a kid.

My mom once went through the 15 item or less line with 16 items and got in a fight with another customer over it. My dad just stood there in the back like "I'm staying out of it". My mom then yelled at my Dad for not defending her. If you want to figure out what my home life was like growing up, just watch the Disney program "Good Luck Charlie". It's surprisingly close to my life growing up.

I have nothing against Subaru. I actually really like Subaru. If I got a Subaru though, it wouldn't be an Impreza cuz everyone has one. It'd be a Legacy wagon of some sort, preferably a first generation car (1990-1994) with an Impreza WRX engine swap.

Other than that, here's my Suzuki choice:

 

[StickShift]

"Good Luck Charlie" is a sitcom...
Amy Duncan has the same personality as my mom did, though my mom was more into psychology than obsessing over stardom.
Bob Duncan is pretty much my Dad to the T... except my Dad isn't an exterminator, he works for a company that makes helicopters.
Teddy Duncan is my sister Terry to the T.
PJ is just like my 2 older brothers.
Gabe and Charlie are like me depending on the age range.

 

[Lefty]

That's not so bad Johann.

How about the fat ass that huffs and puffs in line

then goes over to the self check, waits maybe

30 seconds and demands assistance in that loud

obnoxious bitch voice?

 

[StickShift]

I just hate when people follow the herd when car shopping or refuse to cross shop at all. 90 % of Toyot'a line up is outdated and overpriced when compared to competitors. A good example is the Toyota Corolla vs the Chevy Cruze or Dodge Dart. Or the Toyota Camry vs the Suzuki Kizashi or Subaru Legacy. And the ONLY good car Honda currently makes is the Fit. The new Civic was so bad it was universally panned by journalists and removed from Consumer Reports recommended buy list, which is shocking as Consumer Reports has historically been a Honda humping magazine.

I personally drive a 2004 Saturn Ion Quad Coupe (it has suicide doors in back) with a 2.2L Ecotec 4 cylinder and a 5 speed manual. I just installed a short throw shift kit and aluminum bushings for the shifter... There's over 3 grand into this car:

I wish the Moderators would come back. You don't appreciate the water until the well runs dry.

AWOL.

^ Quasar, for example, hasn't logged on since Feb. 14th.

I wonder why?

Did they get tired of all of our melodrama?

Oh, they're still here. A user posted a very inappropriate thread last night, and it was taken down within minutes of my reporting it. So they're still around; They're just not being as vocal.

 

[StickShift]

I know the moderators are here. Cuz they have to approve some of my posts before they show up. It's been a while since I was a newbie on a forum.

I was always the teacher's pet at school (an aspect of my personality you can't necessarily see on JUB). I really do prefer a classroom with a teacher in it.

I was too. I learned that brown nosing will get you quite far if you have some basic skills.

Prose/RL tidbit: Whenever someone steps out of character, they have an ulterior motive.

 

[StickShift]

I was always a nerd growing up. Always with my nose in a book reading or researching cars. I started researching cars at age 7 so it's fair to say I know more than many people twice my age. I tend to prefer quirky and wacky cars because they're much more interesting.
My new car picks according to class:
Mini car: Fiat 500
Subcompact: Chevrolet Sonic
Compact: Suzuki SX4
Mid-size: Subaru Legacy Outback wagon
Full-size: Tesla Model S
Pickup Truck: Ram 1500
crossover SUV: Subaru Forester or Toyota Rav4 EV (though the Toyota Rav4 EV costs upwards of $50 grand)
Body on frame SUV: Mercedes Benz G-class
Hot Hatchback: Ford Focus ST
Sport Compact: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Sports car: Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ
Convertible: Mazda Miata

 

[refujiunderground]

you know, i was watching some of the adonis effect yesterday and then i thought about how there's so many people in the world that put way too much care into the appearance of people. it disturbing and disgusting to see how some people really are that obsessed and basically put everything into how somebody's look and use that as a basis to determine if that person is a human being. for somebody to basically select whether they want to be your friend or to even talk to you on a simple conversation based on how good you look. are motherfuckers really that shallow? is it really that bad? yeah, you can get all over somebody good looking but damn, there's much more to a person than how they look. i also get irked when i see people that think because they think because they have so and so cosigning their looks that people are supposed to give a fuck about them because of that. you know, you have a personality, let that speak for you instead of your appearance for once.

with that said, i couldn't live like that. i'm more of a personality type of person where i feed off of other people's personalities so i'll be the one looking all ugly and bummy as shit because i don't put much thought or care into how i look. i basically am testing folks to see what they're about. sure, i'll get all giggly if i see an attractive guy but i'm paying attention to his personality and whether he's a cool guy or an asshole.

This. I hate shallowness with a passion and look for personality myself. In my old Automotive mechanics class, we had one student Ian who was FINE with a capital F, but he was a total asshole. Didn't mean I couldn't look but I could never stand to be around him for more than 3 seconds. He was one of those guys that women look at once and throw themselves at and it pissed me off to no end that he thrived on that. I recall he once overheard me complaining about his lack of personality (he is pretty intimidating. He was like 6'3, and easily 220 lbs of muscle. I'm 5'7 and about 200 lbs of flubber) and asked if I was calling him shallow. I said "If you mean I'm saying I could stand in a puddle of you and not get my feet wet, then yes". He was stunned and walked off continuing his womanizing ways.

that's good that you stood up to him and told him what everybody around him knows but are scared to tell him. there's way too many people like him outthere that think that because they have a beach bod, an attractive face or both that think they have it made based off of that shit. they put everything about themselves and into their looks and everything revolves around that. they give too much of a fuck about how the next person sees them. you have many gym guys like the dude in your old class that are like that. they usually drive around the benz, have expensive ass clothes, care about how good they look, what's trendy and are obsessed with basically fitting in with what's cool. they go to the gym to start working out because they got tired of being picked on for being skinny and they wanted to get women to notice them. the funny part is that once they get muscular to a certain point, most women no longer are interested and men are usually the ones eyeing them up.

 

[StickShift]

Lol. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I'm a total bitch with people I don't like. For the record, I try to go out of my way NOT to be shallow. I donate blood regularly, and was among the first 10 to sign up for a liver transplant when a friend needed one to correct a birth defect. I wasn't a match, but it's the thought that counts, right?
