lol, It's not how Seven started but during the movie Morgan Freeman is reading the diaries of the killer. He stops at one particular page and read aloud, about how he saw a huge man on the train stuffing his face and how he felt at watching him and was eventually sick.
I take it that want you are refering to.
From reading the posts i can deduce that i'am not the only one who suffers from 'rage' at the hands of their work collegues etc. That alone gives me a comforting feeling. You know the saying 'misery likes company'
I have a million stories about this guy and he's only been here for just over a month. Such was my anger at this man that i played with the idea of putting all these incidents in comic form and making a strip of them for the web.
That seems unnecessarily cruel though, and something i didn't want to devote alot of time too.

Originally by: Cathath I feel sick. I hate people who eat like that  I work with three other ladies, one of whom likes discussing the development and removal of her bikini line, one who enjoys telling us exactly what she did the night before and with whom, and one who phones her doctor regularly from the office phone to discuss her latest medical ailment. She also phones her partner and speaks to him in a baby voice. It's weird. None of them I wish to feel quite as intimate with as I do now.

sounds cool though:) you should grab a beer sit down and enjoy the RL comedy soap
the working bit might well be a little disturbing with this though _________________________________ just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean i'm not following!

I think you would have some very excellent material for a Television show. The scene in the restroom was incredible to say the least.
Look at it this way, how many people are confronted with comedy everyday? Most people go about their day with nothing interesting at all, you have the Human Garbage Disposal right next to you!

I would agree with you if it weren't happening to me. As it stands I have to put up with this man all day and I can tell you that no matter how much I can laugh about it later it doesn't help me 'in the moment'
I went to the gym today they have some of the weirdest shampoo's n stuff there. I chose one at random, and Bang i start smelling like a cocnut. Not a faint smell or anything you understand. Like pure Coconut smell.
Interesting, I thought: I smell like a giant hairy nut
I got back to the office and sat down and before i got myself settled within my ass groove this man mumbles around a roll and chips. (Add in your own mumble sounds.) OOOOh have you got bounties there Incensed by this man I grated No its shampoo from a GYM ahh well[/] he slavered [i]Shame i like bounty's
The guy who sits behind me burst out laughing while i stared at this guy. I could feel my fingers twitch and im pretty sure i would have had one of those comical cheek twinges you see.
So yeah other people find it hilarious, both my own and his reactions and when i look back at it i often laugh too. BUT During the day to day moments were he's uncomfortably close, leaning on me and stuff or spraying half emaciated food at me or telling the most horribly obvious lies or talking endlessly about one food or some other crap i try desperately to tune out. I can feel control loosening.
So yeah have a giggle i have another few hundred stories about this man but i dont feel like sharing now

When people display a total lack of common sence.
Recently I had someone park an 18 wheeler in front of a shop door, lock it, and go for a 3 hour lunch.
Though my anger subsided when I gave the guy the $1500 bill from the towing company for moving a truck and trailor 100ft. Call me evil if you will, but I actually enjoyed that, next time I'm sending him a shop bill for the time wasted waiting for the tow-truck and not being able to use the door just to top it off.

I used to work in the civil service, actually in the same place as the guy who created the character RALPH RODRIGUEZ (which is how I ended up joining his corp, but I digress...) Sitting next to me was a guy who had poor personal hygiene and never seemed to wash/shower. We used to keep the air conditioning on so that his smell wouldn't drift across, but during the summer the air con broke for several weeks, which made it really difficult to cope.
On a couple of occasions I had to answer his phone while he was away and as soon as I picked it up and held it near my ear, both my hand and ear started tingling then itching - I always used to wash my hands after using his phone from that point onwards.
The worst thing, though, was his chair. It was a standard blue office swivel chair but, through him sitting on it over a period of months, it had become stained a kind of sickly yellow colour (we assumed through him sweating onto the seat). It got to the point where Ralph actually offered ú100 around the office to anyone who would lick the seat of the chair (he said it had to be a "proper double lick up and down the seat"). I said I'd throw in some ketchup to accompany the licking of the seat (on the basis that ketchup goes with pretty much anything). Another friend added ú100 to the total (so ú200 was up for grabs) to encourage someone to lick the chair of nastiness. No one ever took the offer up.
The same friend once told me that he'd been in the toilet in the cubicle next to the stinky guy one time and could hear him straining. The stench that accompanied it forced my friend to get out of there as soon as he could. He had this distressed look in his eyes as he recalled the event. I don't think the boss would have taken him very seriously, though, if he'd asked them to pay for counselling for poo-related trauma.

They spent 30 minutes discussing their cervixes one day (one had just come back from getting it scraped). Also, one of them shaves her husband's back on a regular basis, while the other waxes. Apparently "Veet" is a particularly good brand for this purpose. Meanwhile I am trying to make phone calls and deal with face to face enquiries, needless to say all of what goes on in the office is audible to people outside/on the phone. Made for some embarrassing questions.  Hmm...haven't seen Seven for a while, I'll have to watch it again

Out of sight out of mind.
I don't watch TV. I don't read the news. I don't care about politics.
I've learned that the only thing I should be worried about is that which I can control, for one.
As far as idiots go, I've gone through some dark times with people, and jobs, and it's something in life that you go through, and you eventually come out the other end better for it.
Life's a game, enjoy it.

Originally by: PR0ELIATOR Edited by: PR0ELIATOR on 17/08/2006 21:39:50 I got a kid at school that always rips on me because im enlisting in the National Guard next month. "Why the hell are you going into the infantry? Are you an idiot?" "What do u wanna fight bushes war for anyway?" "You are just going to go to basic and become another brain washed baby-killer."
He also acts like he has to try and 1up me because im doing one of the most interesting things out of anybody in the school atm and i think he is jealous because he is one of those 'mr. cool' totaly head up his own ass types...
Whenever a girl talks to me about it he always tries to butt in with his anti-war rhetoric and Abu Gharab(sp?) horror stories and how evil military people are and how being in the military turns u into an ******* and military husbands beat their wives and he brings up all these bull**** statistics...
One of these days im just going to unload and punch that kid in the face...its gonna feel so good too... But for now i just educate everyone about whats really going on and what the military is really like behind his back. Then when he comes in with all his lies trying to smear me he just looks like a tard.
edit: he doesn't really 'enrage' me though. B4 all this he was an ok kid. Im still gonna rub my fingers around my privates and stick them in his mouth every chance i get...just for kicks.
Turn your cheek and walk away. If you're going Infantry you'll learn really fast that we fight only when we have to and it's unavoidable. The guy is a turd. Do what you think is the right thing. of course having said that , I wouldn't be beyond putting the guy in a cross collar choke hold when no one is looking just to see his spineless face turn blue. but hey that's just me.

mmm... zen calm. yes.
i can maintain that calm through most everything... almost falling off the edge of a highway junction thanks to an inept denver taxi driver, dealing with interminable italian railway delays, trying to find a hardware store worth mentioning in the uk...
and then there's some things where i just... *twitch* *snap* kinda, and i start imagining new and inventive torture methodologies...
like one day coming back home to italy from scotland, plane landed from amsterdam, it was 10pm, i wanted to go home and sleep... 50 minutes before the 1st luggage appeared, and for some reason the overheard conversation the policemen were having about the latest football match or something equally irrelevant sent me in a fuming rage. i wasnt very far from physically foaming at the mouth.
sitting on the bus and this girl.. cant have been more than 20... woudlnt know dress sense if it hit her on the head with a steel I-Beam... grossly overweight, in flimsy tanktop and some skirt-like thing of a colour that can only be defined as offensive, literally rolls down the aisle, plonks down behind me and starts loudly declaring to her friend on the phone (and to the rest of the bus) exactly how great a feeling it is to go to town for a shopping spree since its been almost a week since the last one.
im not sure why it affected me so badly, but I swear I left marks in the bus seat with my nails.
perhaps its to do with the reduced personal spaces in our lives, when people intrude on them without through nor care something snaps. it doesent help that most of the people who do this are graceless poster children for the mindless pop culture that i so abhor >.> ----------------

sometimes its people that enrage me(mainly drivers or stupid people u come across while being a consumer) sometimes its every day **** like a traffic light.
for example when im coming up to a traffic light where there are 2 lanes with a seperate light for each, one for going straight and right and one for going left and you can take either and get to your destination. You know that usually they turn green at the same time and that the left turn is fast so u get in the left hand lane thinking the sensor should know your there and it will turn green. it of course doesn't and i get ****ed to hell as i have to wait through another cycle for some god forsakened reason.
there are the drivers who i get ****ed off at for driving slower than the speed limit just because or for stopping while a light is still yellow. and there are allways the mexican roadblocks (two idiot drivers doing exactly the speed limit side by side) on 2 lane roads the get me screaming obsenities at god...
Im sure some of u know what im talking about and some of u are probably like, "your a terrible ******* driver man, just take it easy". The thing is for you who dont understand why i get mad at generally slow people, what you need to hurry through your slow little minds is that Some people cant stand waiting... its a waste of precious time and in most cases resources so try and take your mind out of neutral next time your driving like an idiot and pretend your a race car driver...
btw never had an accident although have gotten in trouble for throwing "foreign missiles" at another car and several speeding tickets when i was younger

Edited by: corroded on 20/08/2006 23:43:17 Some people just tick me off. I'm not easilly offended or easilly angered. though (rarely) some people just cant stop pushing my buttons..
I usually just shake my fist at the nearest deity, damning them for plagueing my existence with monstrosities.
Then i walk away somewhere desolate/remote and ponder the plights of the aforementioned atrocities, and how i can help them by removing their air-supply.. usually while beating the crap out of some inanimate object while inventing new profanities..
Then i brush myself off, try to gather composure and stroll quietly back to the "thing" in question.. Then i usually engage in a deep philosophical discussion detailing why they should remove themselves from my vicinity (lest they be sent back to the pits of hell)...
Works for me.

Hmmmm interesting however i feel that this thing in question may be immune to normal mortal attacks ala this guy And we all know that 'Nothing can hurt the Blob'
It's pretty funny a new guy started today who look exactly like this man You all know who Benny the Jet is dont you?
He has already looked at his annoying collegue with an expression close to alarm. A look you would give to a man who was about to take a shower with a live toaster.
All i need is the last few normal people around me to depart and be replaced by the likes of 'The Hoff' an 'Mr T' and i think i could start some sort of super elite crime fighting series. As a distinctly normal/average guy id have to be the disembodied voice of 'charlie'
Still thanks for the post guys, It is nice to know that other people feel the old ticker beat quicker when confronted by the obscene.

He kept insisting that he was more important than me so I kept smiling and nodding, he got moved the next day to another department because he wasn't needed. I love it how people get what they deserve :) Oh he quit a week after because nobody liked him in his new department either and they made it more obvious than we did lol. --------------------------- What can I put here without getting banned? |

I always try to stay nice and calm most of the time but for some reason that I can't explain some people just flick my switch from "free love hippy meditation" to "Pull of his face, wipe it in acid and cram it up their ass" I don't know what it is HOWEVER, I do understand that this is MY failing, not theirs. Maybe I need some sort of therapy?

i think it is perfectly fine not to love everybody. if those feelings just come up at a certain daytime though then you are in need of a therapy and i hope you do not live close to me. _________________________________ just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean i'm not following!

What you need to do is go out and find a physical activity that allows you to (legally) beat the **** out of another human being. I've noticed this works. When I was a kid sometimes I'd get really ****ed off at the smallest things and would be pretty aggressive. When I went to college I started muay thai and I noticed it would take a lot for me to get ****ed off at something/one. I'd would laugh at jokes made about me and not care if other people did stupid things. Now in uni I play American football (yes we have yank football in the UK, no it's not just for pussies because of all the armour). This gives me a chance to hit and try and cause as much damage to my fellow human being as I can. Yay, and my rage is hidden from the world because I have this output.
Now during the summer holidays I have no money to go study muay thai and football season is over. I find myself getting annoyed at the simplest of things again. Sometimes I feel like going postal. There are, after all 6.5bill people in the world, I'm sure a few lost souls won't matter.
So without a physical outlet you will be annoyed by the small, simple things which in turn makes you more selfish and produces a hatred for the human species. Since I'm sure a lot of people feel this hatred, it explains why our society is going down the ****er.

I think I have a problem repressing anger. I can sit and smile through the most mind-numbing assaults on the senses, but unfortunately since my roommate has his dumbass boat in the garage I have nowhere to put my punching bag, hence no real way to vent. Here's an example of two of the guys I work with that are going to help send me to an early grave when I spontaneously combust. First guy-seemed ok at first, come to realize he is the biggest bs'er ever, and I mean ever. You can't say anything without him launching into a story ten times better than yours that involves some death-defying stunts and successful fornication session with a beautiful woman. This guy should be the oral historian for some lost mountain tribe, his storytelling skills are unparalleled. The man is so in love with his own legend that I think he actually believes everything he says about himself. Put it this way, if he had every job he says he had, he'd be 120 years old, and if did all the stuff he says he did in the Army (personally I think his combat experience involves being a cook in Grenada), he'd be a joint chief. Second guy-honestly, this other guy I work with is the dumbest, laziest man I have ever met, hands down. If this guy did any less, he'd be dead, because the only thing I ever see him do is breathe. I'm convinced he shoved a nickel up his nose as a child, and that it's still there, cause there's no other way he could be this dumb. He's proof that Darwin was wrong, cause natural selection should have killed this guy off 30 years ago. How to cope? There is no way. I'm stuck at this job until my degrees start counting for something and I get something better. Until then, I just lose a little hair, feel my blood pressure creep higher, and get migraines from stress. Well, that, and there's all those drifters I kill with a hammer and push through the woodchipper.
