Things that make you go... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! Mk. II

[Ezra Hogbin]

This may sound quite cliche'd, but:

People from the most modern century. They remind me EXACTLY why I pick a different one! They are so impolite and un-cultured.

Ava.

As people say. It has become a cliche because it is true.

My current Gahh!
Finally coming up with an idea to Steampunk an item...then not being able to find it! I know it's in the house somewhere!! Unless quantum mechanics is playing games with me!

[RoseOak]

I know the feeling Ezra. Our Gremlin does it all the time

Way back in August the housemates suggest we all do a yard sale together. We set a date for the end of that month... which gets postponed due to one of them not being available for that time and he's the one making the arrangments. Meanwhile I've pulled a lot of stuff from storage and organised boxes for sales.

The date of postponement is moved to two weeks then three weeks and finally when I volunteer to set it up and run it if he gives me a list of his stuff and the boxes are put in the front hallway, so that The other housemate and I can do this before it bloody snows.

He asks for a couple weeks and I give in. Finally I'm allowed to set it all up for this weekend. And they both back out on the whole thing mid week after I got the permit and made arrangements.

It's really too cold for this now and it's just some of my stuff rather than the materials from three people, which is another Gaaaahhh! Button down shirts (30 of them), good slacks (12), 130 book (some of my extras), board games and puzzles and wooden yoyos and you know toys.
Not a battery or power cord in sight. Which results in people rubbernecking from the cars at the curb and not bothering to get out.

It's not like I'm asking a lot, here. everything is $1, including the mini pool table, clothes and older scrabble board with real wooden tiles.

The permits good for tomorrow too. It will be mid fourties (around 8 celcius) and is due to have rain showers during part of the day. Fat lot of good that does me now.

If the others had just backed out in bloody august and admitted it wasn't likely to happen I could have arranged with my other freind to go through his storage and do a join sale with him and get it done before school started. But nooooo.

Gah, welchers! Gah, weather! Gah, culture firmly latched on to the electrified mind numbing passive entertainment.

A drunken woman in an ill-fitting corset and slacks berating one of my best friends in a double-breasted Jazz-Age suit ensemble last night telling him "*I* work in a clothing store so *I* know how to dress"..

My GAHH was that I could not find her last night to tell her about herself..

Talk about deluded, should have told that only proves she knows how to put clothes on hangers

I'm not sure where anyone gets the nerve to berate others for what they're wearing. Do they think there really is a fashion police? surely they must realise that it's all so subjective that no two people will ever dress exactly alike (ok, maybe in a monastery)- and how dull would it be if they did?

*climbs off soap box of self righteousness*

[Lady Ava]

Men who do not realise that just because I have a male best friend who I spend far too much time with, I am not misbehaving with him.

Men who also then, have no right to even THINK the above.

Ava.

when glitches eat well thought out and edited comments to a deep and philisophical discussion, as you are getting ready to sign off for the night.

I'm too tired to do it again, and I can't coherantly retype the whole thing.

[darkshines]

I don't actually need to be awake for another 2 and a half hours at least, but because MrC is stillcommuting, he has to be up and 6am to get to work. Which means I am up at 6am. And I won't get out of work until 8pm. Its a long day

[Capt. Dirigible]

A few weeks back I had to fork out £120 to a BT engineer to spend 90 mins getting my Internet access back and sort out a few other probs I had with my BT hub connection. He did what he could but said if I wanted him to spend longer looking for any other problems on my PC it would cost me £60 a half hour which I simply cannot afford. So he got my Internet access back and the hub  seemed ok. However within a couple of weeks my PC was acting up again.
It now seems like my hard drive is about to die on me (the second one I've had). Fingers crossed that the Countess' dad's pal can fix it and won't charge me an arm and a leg!

Gaaaaaaaaaaah!!! I miss my PC at home....

[RoseOak]

bloody cold 

[Birdnest]

The permits good for tomorrow too.

My God man, The Permit???  Needing a permit to host a yard sale in your yard is preposterous.

My gah - albeit a little one, is IT SNOWED!  And being that it caught me a bit off-guard, I could not find the ice scraper to rid my windscreen of the caked ice, so it was me driving down the dirt road in 4wd really slow with the defroster on and half my body out of the window so that I could see where I was going (we live 2 miles from the paved bits).

such a spaz.

[ForestB]

The usual GAHHHHH- not having enough funds at the right time for everything.. we can't pay for the kid's activities because there's all this other stuff due as well, and no one's hiring a stay at home mom who hasn't been in the workplace for 7 years, and can only work mornings/early afternoons..

[Arceye]

Every few months the local Council organises a 'Walkabout' around the neighbourhood, to try and identify problems. One of the guys who turned up to today's event  is a well known piece of useless rubbish who did his best to monopolise the Council official, and when he talked to me waved his walking stick at me in a most ungentlemanly manner, then started saying how he would like to beat up the top Council officials, and  compared them to Stalin.

Most productive. I could almost imagine the Council employing him as an agent provocateur

My Gah regards the Royal Mail.  I requested something to be redelivered to my address today.  I have to go out in less than 15 minutes and still it has yet to arrive.  I wouldn't mind, but it has to be signed for.  My whole evening is looking to be ruined (I'm going to a birthday party) because some fool is taking his time on his round

Sounds almost as bad as the United States Postal Service!  I've lived in this town (less than two blocks from the Post Office, might I add) for over two years, and was told that I had "Moved and left no forwarding address," and that my VERY important, time sensitive package was marked for return to sender!  Now, I'm on file as living at *insert address*, but reciving my mail at *town's name* Post Office.  NEVER before have I had any type of problem reciving any form of package from ANYONE.

Until I order Fable III LCE from Gamestop.

And I'm sorry, the USPS workers...  I think I know WHY they call it "Going POSTAL!"

Gnnnnah!

The RSPCA.

Now, I'll admit, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is not what I'd have thought of as a typical 'Gaaaaaah!' topic. But then, I've never tried to rehome a dog before.

Our local dogs home is pretty full, they've some 90+ dogs who've ended up with them and are looking for folk to adopt them. Handily, I'm in the position where I can care for a dog - I work in a large landscapes department on the edge of a vast park/estate and am lucky enough to be able to take a dog to work with me, and I'm financially stable enough to afford to keep and run a large breed.

But! Because there is an outside chance that once every 2-3 weeks the dog may be on it's own for a whole 4-5 hours, and because I refuse to spend £1200 on re-fencing my garden, I'm apparently considered incapable of looking after a dog! According to one woman at the RSPCA it would be abusive to even consider letting me keep a dog!

What the f**k?

[Xenos]

My GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! of the day (past few, actually), and I'm pretty sure it's obvious:

Brass Goggles being down for so bloody long!  I mean, I knew I was an addict, but Cripesamighty!  NEVER AGAIN, PLEASE!

On a slightly different note:  Stats on NaNoWriMo not updating quite right.  That just bugs the hell out of me.

And with that, I'm probably off to bed!

Aaaaand this is why they still have 90+ dogs up for adoption. And why alot of people who would otherwise rehome a dog just end up getting one through private means.

Sadly it looks like I'll be doing exactly that - while I've got a meeting with someone from the RSPCA on Friday, I'm also calling around various breeders. At this stage it looks like it'll be easier and cheaper to drive to North Yorkshire to buy a rare pedigree dog than it is to rehome a rescue dog from the local shelter.

shops that charge £30 for a jumper.

However, I found the same jumper in a charity shop for £3 rounf the corner, so many only HALF a gahhh.

Baby Sisters GAHHHH for the day is teething. But the back teeth are coming through first, so it''s Bonjela on them, or pain.
