LISTEN UP, ESCAPISTS:

Ninja'd means that someone posted you were going to post, while you were writing your post. It does NOT mean they posted what you were going to post at any moment in the thread!

As someone who has been ninja'd properly 10 times in a row (I'll dig the thread out tomorrow, Ren3004 will remember that night too as he was a part of the ninja chain. XD) I'll echo this one.

But as for my own, anyone who dares utter the phrase "Where's the discussion value?". Or the fact that Jobseekers in England recently classed time away for a family emergency as a "holiday". Yes...I did enjoy that "holiday", it was very nice(!)[footnote]Would go into more details but it's a private matter, I'm afraid.[/footnote]

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I'm tired... Not as in 'I want to go to sleep' tired, but more of a soul tiredness. Does that make any sense?

In 2 weeks time I have to sit some exams for the 4th time. The first 2 times I failed because I was too depressed to think. The 3rd because I was so busy not being depressed/rediscovering life I forgot I actually had to do some work. That one's my fault. And now a combination of exam stress and everything below seems to be causing me to sink back into depression again, though thankfully to a much lesser degree.

My high school bully keeps trying to add me on facebook, and I can't see his name or face without years of repressed bitterness and anger washing over me all at once, along with a nice feeling of helplessness.

My now ex-girlfriend's "I think we should just be friends" spiel apparently meant that she actually does want to be friends. This confuses me. Also, I figure I should probably be more upset about the whole thing than I am. Or upset at all, really.
Oh, and the entire time I was going out with said ex was spent realising how strong my feelings were for my best friend. Thing is, I didn't realise how much she liked me until it was slightly too late, and have now totally alienated her, losing me both a best friend and... well, guess I'll never know now.

Huh. Self-serving and whiney though that may have been, that felt amazing! Thought I'll probably delete most of it tomorrow on the off chance anyone in real life stumbles across it

I'm sick of living with my parents..my dad in particular
My Dad is the most cruel ignorant selfish bastard I have ever had the displeasure of living with!
He never let me have any friends or even go to public school when i was a little kid.
When I first started playing the guitar he hit me if i didn't learn a song before my next guitar lesson.
I recently came out of the closet...when he found out he pushed me over and kicked me....mum just stood there and watched....he's the reason i'm so darn shy and socially awkward and the worst part is i have to live with him for another 4 years.

That story combined with your profile picture and the fact it's 3am , made me feel the largest amount of empathy I've felt in months.

Sadness isn't a nice feeling is it? I think I'll stick to psudeo-Sociapthy, if this is how normal people feel. Seriously I find it intolerable that you are living like that, and know I'm thinking of the thousands of people who live in simalir condidtion, and it sucks.

Is this how most people feel most of the time? Or do empatheic people learn how not to give a shit?

I think not giving a shit comes with years of experience....alot of people still feel bad for those poor earthquake victims...Oh crap now i feel bad for the earthquake victims ;_;...well i guess i will have to use the power of daft punk music to make me forget! TO ITUNES! AWAAAAAAAAAY!

 

[ZeroMachine]

Well, I've once again ended up the third wheel when hanging out with a another guy and a girl that didn't have anything going on with them.

Always happens lately... *sigh*

 

[martin's a madman]

I'm pretty much content.

I mean, university coming up is a bit stressful, but all in all, I have no complaints.


Sorry folks.

Um, okay, if I must... I wish the financial aid office would process my papers a bit faster?

Darn them! Darn them to heck!

But Sas, that happens so many times that I can't remember what time you mean. It's pissing me off to no end!
Now seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your family problems.

Another thing that annoys me. "I could care less". Oh really? Then I'm sure glad you saw this thing you care about.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Socialising with other people is starting to fuck me right off, it just seems I can't help but make people hate me after drawing them in with my... I don't know, stoner good looks and naive demeanor? One of those two is visible here.

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

Fuck you Xbox for red ringing on me.



I hate first world problems

Bah, that's nothing, I had three red rings and by the time I got the 3rd my console was out of warranty so I had to buy a 360 slim and have a friend copy my saved games from the old hard drive! It was highly inconvenient!

Wow :0 I've had the same one for three years now so I'm surprised it lasted this long haha
Shit buzz about all those xboxs man :/

 

[derob]

I'm tired of getting stood up by a girl who insists on going out with me (I'm not opposed to this, but I am rather annoyed that I chose to clear my schedule just to have her bail out on me).

 

[Dranae]

FFS PEOPLE

If you get a calendar invitation for rated battlegrounds at 5 PM server that specifically tells you to show up, SHOW UP!

Only half the members showed up (the raid leader not being one of them), so we had to pull together a group comprised of random people.

That made me feel better. I hate it when people do that.

Still, I love the slim, it's got a 120 GB hard drive and I don't have to stretch a cable from one end of the room to the other to connect to LIVE any more. I guess something good came out of it.

 

[teebeeohh]

My fucking roommate should have taken all his stuff with him when he left, he packed everything in boxes, emptied his whole room and dumped with stuff in the common areas of the appartment (which are a 2x1m hallway and a 2x2 meter kitchen) i feel like having a yard sale with all his stuff, then go home and stay with my parents until the next semester. But i doubt i would survive that long, since i moved out my mother goes into "super-mum" mode if i stay there longer than 2 weeks(which only happens Christmas but still)

 

[Saltyk]

I'm tired of being single! I can't find any interesting girls and it's really getting to me. The last two girls I met, one asked for my number and never called and the other has ignored every call I made. This is getting frustrating! And going to a club to meet girls just seems like instantly giving the wrong impression.

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU DON'T HAVE EXACTLY 16 NAPKINS! I GAVE YOU PLENTY! YOU DON'T NEED TO FUCKING CHEW MY HEAD OFF DURING A LUNCH RUSH BECAUSE I GAVE YOU MORE OR LESS THAN THE EXACT AMOUNT YOU THINK YOU NEED! ITS ONLY FOR 2 FUCKING CHICKEN SANDWICHES ANYWAY!!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Sorry I nearly gave that person a black eye today. Every day he comes in at lunch time and expects us to count out exactly 16 napkins for his food. And if we don't give him EXACTLY 16, he will go off on a tirade about how shitty we are at our jobs and blah blah blah, and he forces everyone around him to hear it, and even called out manager out from the back once, just to yell at him for hiring such incompetent employes.

...and yet he comes back. Every. Single. Day.

So he's like a real life troll?
So, what would happen if you gave him 17 napkins? 'Cause I would do that just to see.

I feel for you. I used to work in a fast food restaurant and while it could be okay from time to time, it could be horrible.
~One time, I came in at 8 AM because I was scheduled to come in at that time and the person who wrote the schedule went OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TELL ME THAT, and the manager got pissed because I was "late" since she went and changed my time without telling me.
~How about the customer that got mad because I wasn't trying hard enough to help him. Every time I turned to look for his food, a manager told me to get back to the register and ignored my explanation that I was looking for something for a customer. Then, he finally complained and complained about me specifically.
~Or the manager that used "Or I'll fire you" like it was "please"? And only towards me as far as I knew.

Also screw garageband for not having a better drum loop creator...I can't work with this!

Sorry to hear man. Were all rooting for you!
I freaking hate it that every time I meet a new girl I always get sorted into the friends catagory! I'm not even that nice of a guy! I cynical and poke fun at peoples taste in music. But they always end up saying "Oh Matt, your such a sweet friend." like right now I'm talking to one of them. THE CRAP!?!
Woah that felt really good. this is a epic thread.

 

[Panda Mania]

I'm sick and tired of getting all my intellectually stimulating dialogue from da internetz. Seriously, even though I live in a university town (alright, so it's a very small town), it seems people don't care about talking about things that actually matter or are (gasp!) deeper than what you were up to this summer.

Maybe the problem is just with my peers. Lol, sometimes I feel like I'm some 18th century French philosopher trapped in the body of a teenager in the American South. I went to New York City the other month and was like, " D: BAGH SO MUCH CULTURE!!! *drools*"

 

[Vault101]

hmmm...Im not feeling very angrey right now....let me see

ok GET your FUCKING multiplayer OUT of my single player!

you and you "always online" and fuck right off

ohh wait I have a good one, seriously I know you might have a high speed 150gb a month conection but some of us DONT so dont just fucking sit there and say "well whats the problem?" the fucking problem is that good internet STILL isnt availible to everyone in the developed world so YES there is a fucking problem

 

[Ham_authority95]

You know that feeling when you're angry at something, and all that anger bottled up just gnaws away at you? Wouldn't it feel good to let it all out? Well, I made this thread for you, yes, you to vent your frustrations. Big, small, many, few, round, purple, it doesn't matter, as long as it's bothering you and you need to get it off your chest.

As for me, I spent some time today trying to get a game to work again because I renamed a folder. Fun times. I also had to find out how to change the search engine Firefox uses when you wrote something in the address bar because Messenger Plus decided to make itself the default search engine. And last but not least, I deleted my Google Chrome cookies and cache, only to find out that my Firefox cookies and cache went down the drain with them. The result: all my browser game saves were deleted. Thousands upon thousands of hours of procrastination gone forever.

Ahhhh, much better. So, if you're still having second thoughts about telling us all about what's bothering you, here's Mr. Hugh Laurie to give you a little push.

I just got back from Denmark visiting my girlfriend. It was an awesome time, Denmark was an awesome place, but now I'm stuck back here without her with a crap job.

All I do all day is put together a bunch of fucking parts onto farm pesticide sprayers. I wake up at 5:30 every morning and don't get off work until 3:30. I get filthy and tired every single day for minimum wage, all while wasting my summer vacation. All my friends are out and about doing cool things and making memories and fun.

Now I know that for a job you don't need to love it, but you should at least care about it. This is just putting together parts. It's cold boring shit that leaves me with nothing but a throbbing headache at the end of the day. How the fuck could anyone do this for more than a few months? Some employees have been there for fucking 30 years, how do they stand it?? I'm not even good at it, I'm clumsy with the tools, and I can barely relate with the other employees because they only talk about trucks and fart jokes.

To make it worse, I can't quit it because I got the job from my dad and according to him "I made a commitment" or some bullshit. It isn't like they fucking need me or anything, and it isn't like I need to make my own living, so why won't he just let me go? Fuck this fucking job.

Oh, and did I mention that I probably can't see my girlfriend again for another 4-5 months? Fuck fuck fuck do I want to change so much in my life right now...

I wouldn't be surprised if I become a cynical ass by the time I get back to school. Because of this shit, I feel like collecting Nazi and communist memorabelia and wear it to school to be kicked out. I feel like sabotaging the sprayers at work. I feel like pissing someone off and having them beat the shit out of me so I will have an excuse to beat the shit out of them.

Sometimes the fucking arrogance on the escapist makes me wanna screw a panda with a Knife, sideways.

Are we really better then everyone on the internet?

IM TIRED OF NOT GETTING ANY ZP ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN THOUGH I'VE WATCHED EVERY ZP YAHTZEE HAS MADE (Escapist & Youtube) ON THE ESCAPIST. I DON'T EVEN HAVE AN ACHIEVEMENT FOR WATCHING ONE ZP. AND I WATCH IT EVERY FUCKING WEEK.

Edit: I'd add more about my parents but they're behind me >=(
