We could open the damn windows if it wasn't 157% humidity outside.

Damnit, I like the same things that you do, we enjoy the same activities. Why do you have to be so stubborn and immature? We supposedly broke up on good terms, and that was almost a year ago. Sure I like you again, and I think you know that, but I'm not going to make weird advances on you, I promise. I just want you to stop being such a stuck up beezy and talk to me. We have a lot of the same friends, you can't keep avoiding me. We are going to have to confront this sooner or later. For real, I'm not trying to get back with you, I know you don't want that, I just want to clear the air and end this weirdness.

this is why I hate blazer fans (and in turn, the blazers).
A close friend of mine got on facebook last night to brag to me about how Oden was putting up 20/10. I obviously pointed out that it's kind of embarrassing that their #1 pick is so mediocre that it's newsworthy when he puts up a pretty good game in PRE SEASON.
My friend freaks out and tries to make some point along the lines of "Yeah, well at least two of our other top picks turned out well.. Roy and Aldridge.. how many top picks have the mavs had besides Dirk and Howard?'
"Umm", I say, "first of all the reason the Blazers HAVE top picks is because they sucked #$@*. Second of all, you're basically saying that the Mavs have been just as successful with the draft with far inferior picks."
Then he tries to justify it by saying.. "well Aldridge was 5th pick and roy was like 14th so we got some steals." No, you clueless Blazer fan, Aldridge was 2nd and Roy was 6th (or 7th, depending on how you look at it). I HATE the Blazers and I know that. This guy is "obsessed with the blazers" and doesn't. Him, and every other Blazer fan.
It also really pissed me off last year when everyone around me in the rose garden kept saying "Dang, that little Terry guy is lighting us up! Where did he come from?" and then I finally lost it when I heard, from a HUGE NBA FAN***, "Daaaaamn, who's that tall white guy? He's killing us!" Hey idiots, that guy was a year and a half removed from being the MVP.
ugh

Someone needs to start a poll.
Who has been the biggest choke team this year --- Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks or Stars.
Every team seems to have been incredibly average with incredibly high expectations.

The Rangers were hardly a choke team. They far, far exceeded their expectations for the season.

If you have a small car and you're making a simple, 90 degree left turn, you do not, I repeat, do NOT have to do it like you're in an 18-wheeler. It is not necessary to swing your Mazda 3 all the way into the next lane. Your turning radius is more than sufficient to make it. You car can take sharper than 15 degree turns in this car without doing a three point turn.

I totally disagree, they were within just a few games and choked it away at the end. (I am not talking about pre-season expectations, but expectations from anytime of the year).
Yes, they were better than most thought they would be at the beginning of the season, but expectations changed until Young went down, and they lost all offense for a 3 week stretch.
They could have been in the playoffs, with just a little more grit.
Them Cows could have been a playoff team without the Philly choke, or the Giant choke or the Denver choke.
Mavs can't get out of the second round, ever since the GSW choke.
Stars? Need I say more...............
Oh well, it was just a rant anyway..........even though you are probably correct JThig the Rangers really did better than expected.

Hey here's an idea, Mr. Project Manager. How about you let me and the other developers on this project know that the Proof Of Concept at the customer site has been put on hold more than THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
This thing's been scheduled for over a month. I killed myself yesterday making sure everything was just right. My wife is dead sick and the only reason I'm even in the freaking office today is this POC, which you politely tell us through email is on hold THIRTY FREAKING MINUTES BEFORE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO START. And the only reason that happened was because one of us contacted you asking for contact info. Had we not done that, would we have just sat here twiddling our thumbs all day waiting for this to start?
You're only job, ONLY JOB, is to be on top of these kinds of things and let us, the developers, know the schedule.
I even skipped lunch to make sure I was ready for this too.
Ugggg.

Consequences from others decisions can really be a beach...politics are not a game were we root for one side or the other, yet some seem to not give a darn about what happens when fools are put in charge and gain a majority, yet the people they represent actually have a different view of the decisions they should be making.

I think e-mailing me 4 hours ago doesn't justify you walking into my office and demanding to know why I haven't returned your e-mail.
Damn you Blackberry/Iphone/smart phone people that have totally changed everyone's expectations about e-mail response time.
Damn you all to hell.

Stop yelling out "I solved the problem!" when all you did was to issue a ticket, something a trained monkey could do in 3 seconds, and probably with less mistakes than you.

Damn you, McDavid Honda of Frisco. It's been over two years, and you still send me emails no matter how many times I implore you to stop.
Why does buying a car have to be the start of a relationship? I told them when I wrote them a check for the full amount that I never wanted to hear from them again. Buying a car should be like...like buying a hammer. Home Depot doesn't call me and email me every seven days to ask me if I want to trade in my hammer for a newer hammer.

I will help you adjust your screen resolution, you flipping idiot, when I finish what I'm working on currently, and that YOU know I'm working on currently. I'm not stopping because you can't follow simple instructions on how to do it yourself.

i know that game.
Okay, so you opened up my computer and your network drives aren't there? Dont freak out, nothing happened to them. Your data is safe. You just need to reboot your god damn computer before calling me next time. I keep telling you to reboot your computer before calling. The vpn tunnel closed, no big deal. Just reboot and the tunnel will come back up.

The guy with the office across the hall from mine frequently ends his phone conversations with (and in the thickest, trashiest redneck accent) "Alright, let me drop some of these dirty kids off at the pool and I'll holler right back at ya."
So.... That's got to stop.

are you kidding? Ugh.
At my office, people frequently answer the phone while in the bathroom (urinal or stall), and even worse, sometimes they are actually the one making the phone call!
Why in the hell do you think the person on the other end of the call wants to hear your bodily functions?

Speaking of which:
Don't talk to me while I'm at the urinal. Ever. No, it isn't ok. I use the furthest urinal so that I avoid this. My reply to all of your questions during this time will be "I don't know, I'm peeing right now." Spare yourself and spare me.
