The Just Venting, Airing Out, Talking Shit, Personal Beefs, Problems, Anger Management, and etc Thread for 2014

[darden]

You know, someone on Facebook posted that Huffpost article that said 11 reasons to quit Facebook in 2014. One of the reasons was the fact that Facebook seems to depress folks when they begin to compare their lives to everyone else's.


I have that feeling alot.

you just gotta remember that Facebook is a highly edited version of people's lives.

having fun at a party = hundreds of pictures and status updates about how fabulous life is

going through a bout of depression = silence, generally hidden from public view

YES ! How true. I usually never think about it that way.

Well, today is indeed a new day.

Talking with my night supervisor and salaried assistant manager helped me feel a lot better, this morning.

I still keep searching for a good local psychiatrist though. I tried several in my part of town - they either literally have a waiting list to get in, or won't return my phone calls.

 

[Adrock-JD]

fuuuuuuuck.

Yes, FUUUUUCK. As in "Fuck you in the ass, HARD" Fuck everybody. Who wants to get fucked in the ass, hard? The good kind of getting fucked in the ass, not the non literal version of just getting fucked over.

my friend is so weird, I don't even know wtf.

back in August, he moved out to the west coast for grad school. we chat/text off and on when we both happen to be in front of google chat at the same time. two weeks ago, he was like "hey Darden! I'm going to be back in the city the first week of January to visit family/friends, we need to get together." my response was "definitely, just let me know what you're schedule is going to be like."

and that's the last I hear from him based on Facebook posts, I know he was in the area but he never reached out to me. (and it looks like he made a 2-day excursion up to Connecticut to see his ex who he has a weird relationship with... he always makes fun of the ex to me, but I suspect that my friend is keeping the ex on the hook because he buys him stuff and takes him places). just weird; like, why reach out to me in the first place about wanting to hang out if you're not really interested?

Um, are you offering?

he sounds a mess. but yeah...I know those types. I just say "whatever" when they start trying to make plans they know they won't keep.

I'm like GH on this one. Flaky people are usually flaky all-around. They might mean well or actually intend to not flake but... if they flake, my response to any attempt to make a plan from them is kinda "yeah, yeah sure" and let them make the effort.

 

[darden]

yeah, pretty much. it's not as if I rearranged plans or anything, but this was his first visit back to visit his family/friends since the summer and I was actually looking forward to getting to hang out and catch up.

but in the future, my response will probably be something along the "whatever" line. there's only one flake in the world that I can force myself to tolerate, and that's only because she gave birth to me.

Ok... a guy at work sprung with word problem on me, and I can't figure it out!!!! ARGH!!!

Buzzer... I'm counting on you! (No Pun).

3 guys want to rent a room. The clerk says the Room is $30.

They each pay $10.

The clerk later realizes the room is actually $25. and asked the Bell Boy to give them the $5. change.

The Bell Boy realizes he can't divide the $5. by the 3 guys, so he gives each guy $1., and pockets the other $2.

So... each of the 3 guys has now paid $9. (=$27). You add the $2. the Bell Boy pocketed... = $29.

WHERE is the missing Dollar ???

Each guy didn't pay $9 though. The room is $25, so each guy technically paid $8.33333 ($25 divided by 3). If each of them get $1 back, then it's $8.33333 +$1 = $9.33333. If you multiply that by 3 (three guys), it comes out to basically $28. That plus the $2 the Bell Boy pocketed would make it $30.

I had to think about it for a while.

The bolded bit is wrong.

With $5 off, the guys have then paid $25 divided by 3 = they each paid $8.33 (bolded for emphasis)

The bell boy gives an additional $1 back to them, making it $9.33 they each paid = total of $28.

Problem solved.

EDIT:

dereperez beat me to it.

Damn you both!

I had to cut someone like that out of my life. He was extremely selfish and I would drop everything to listen to his long list of relationship issues and give him advice. I never minded it because I like helping a friend. However, I began to realize that he never really wanted to hear how I was doing and always seemed way too busy once I needed help.

It was difficult but I ended the friendship. Im not saying that this is what you should do....every situation is different. Just try to get out as much as you put in.

 

[borg69unimatrix]

Wait... what?

If each guy paid $10, and each guy got $1. back, each one paid $9.

No... wait!!! Each guy paid $10., and only got $1. back. Just because the Bell Boy kept $2., doesn't mean the 3 men didn't PAY it.

... so... by my thinking... the 3 men paid $27. for a $25. room, got ripped off $2. by the bell boy and there's still a dollar missing somewhere.

$2. divided by 3 Men is $.66666 ... for the tip?

ARGH.

ARGH.

Each guy paid 10 but the actual cost of the room was 8.333 per man, not 10 or 9, since it was $25/3.

 

[borg69unimatrix]

I HATE HATE HATE word problems.

 

[ChickenGuy]

Wait... what?

If each guy paid $10, and each guy got $1. back, each one paid $9.

Correct.

And then, of that $27 paid, $2 of it is taken by the bellboy, leaving $25 for the clerk.

You have to SUBTRACT the $2 from the amount they HAVE paid, instead of trying to ADD it.

The $2 is coming FROM their paid amount.

So instead of saying....

So... each of the 3 guys has now paid $9. (=$27). You add the $2. the Bell Boy pocketed... = $29.

....you actually say....

So... each of the 3 guys has now paid $9. (=$27). You subtract the $2. the Bell Boy pocketed... = $25.

$30 ends up being divided:

$25 to clerk
$3 to guys
$2 to bellboy

OMG...will someone please fly out to Colorado or wherever the hell birddog lives and ride his dick so he will shut up about how tiny it is!?

Also...while riding him...please tell him how great it feels inside of you.

sometimes I think he's just trolling us all while he sits behind his computer screen laughing.

HA! I actually did that once..but his name wasn't birddog...or at least I don't think so since I forgot his name (my guy had a prosthetic leg as well)...

I was turned on to him and I went home with him and then he turned into a Negative Nancy and it was getting really tiring...it was like he put a straw in me and started draining my energy with the negativity and I let it go on for awhile and then I had enough so I got a little pushy and I rode his dick...hard...and had a great orgasm....and then after I gave him an anatomy lesson and explained how his cock was actually PERFECT for the prostrate...I let him know that it wasn't his cock...or his leg...that was the problem...it was his attitude....
