Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.17 10:53:00 - [1] I'am an extremely easy going peaceful guy but there are it seems some things that just drive me nuts. Tiny things that in the grand scheme of things are so paltry and insignificant. Yet they still enrage and offend me. Reality TV shows, yobs, etc etc i was used to all these but the other day i scared myself a little by the dark thoughts i was having towards a colleague. A new start who sits opposite me somehow manages with his every breath to fuel a rage within me. He's a rather 'big' man, which is an incredible polite way of describing this mans 'mass'. He eats constantly snacks all day every day. He has a drawer that he keeps stocked full of crisps, biscuits etc. I have tried desperately to ignore all this mans habits, to look away, to listen to music, but it doesn't help. I see his fingers dart around greedily searching for more food and he insist on eating with his mouth open. The satisfied mmmm's and ahhh's are the only thing that puncuate the slopping smacking noise that he makes while consuming....always consuming. I keep telling myself im being a b***d, but everytime he looks up from his den of foods, and starts talking to me with a mouth squashed full of 'stuff' and mumbles and smacks around what he's trying to tell me. My Zen like calm snaps and I have to wrestle the scarily enraged inner Lluthiunne to the ground. I refuse to catalogue what this man consumes as i feel it would be just petty and pathetic. But to give you an idea, in one of his many frequent snack breaks. And i do mean frequent He consumed 3 king sized mars bars one after the other. The noises he makes and all his little habits surrounding this continous feeding frenzy could be likened to sex and quite frankly its disgusting. I could tell some stories that would probably have you laughing but i probably shouldn't, i feel bad enough typing this. I'am trying to hold myself back here, the inner voice is screaming words for me to type. So basically i need calming down. Anyone here have to work with really really annoying people ??? What do they do ??? How do you handle it ??? I have no doubt that i have personal habits that will annoy others but it seems that some are born with inate ability to enrage others. "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."**

Naburi NasNaburi Rens Nursing Home	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:04:00 - [3] Write down www.obesityhelp.com on a little piece of paper.. and place it on his keyboard. I wasnt that bad, but I know how bad food addiction can be..and hes definately LOST in his addiction - probably doesnt even see how bad it is. I am sure things will change once he had his eyeopener :)
Xrak Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:08:00 - [4] I'm a fairly friendly person who doesnt get that easily annoyed about much. But for some reason certain people just make me click the wrong way. They annoy me, by just talking, I hate everything about them, how they look, what they say, what they do. I dont even know why. Luckily its only 1-2 people this happens with. Tell him close his mouth, lose some weight and stop eating so many snacks.
Captain Hudson	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:10:00 - [5] just shout at him, get it out in the open. thats what i do to people that annoy me, mind you im a fairly agressive person in rl and dont mind a scuffle if one comes my way

Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:31:00 - [8] I should state that this man has absolutely no social graces. I dont think he has a concept of personal space as he'll frequent invade it with a military expansionists gusto. Attempts at dropping hints and then openly saying one comment or another regarding his 'behaviour' is met with an indifferent smile. Its almost as if he's completely unaware of others or he thinks were joking. During a visit to the mensroom i heard the door open and a voice from the other side of the cubicle. 'Is that you ----?' 'Ummm... yes i replied' This alone is making me cringe, why are you talking to me 'ahhhh' He was sitting in the cubicle next to my own and through the noises this man was making he starts up a conversation. 'So how the prooooJJJJeeeecct mmmfff [plop] coming along' silence from my side as my mind tries desperately to correlate what i just heard. 'I hear that its oooovvvaaaaaRRRRRRRRR mmmmfff [plop] budget at the moment cant be Goooooooood mmmmmfff [plop] can it' You cannot possible imagine the face i was pulling in that cubicle. 'Bloody Hell whats wrong with you?' i said while escaping the toilets. He sat back down at his desk and continued were his conversation left off as if it never happened. While doing this i noticed his hand dip into his bag and produce a large Fruit Nut yogurt and spoon. I just got up and walked away. But anyway, enough of him. Share some of your monsterous encounters! "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."
Tripp Orsam Dragonstar	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:39:00 - [9] Sometimes its best to be honest with someone and just tell them what you think about them, they will either apreciate your honesty and (if they like you) try and improve on the points you bring up, or if they didn't like you that much in the first place they will probably end up hating you and not being your friend anymore. Everyone NEEDS at least 1 honest friend even if they tell us the things we least like to hear but not everyone likes having that kind of friend, so I guess its a gamble what you decide to do in the end. Remember there is more than 1 way of telling people what you think, obviusly you can call them names and mock them but its better to bring them down gently. I have a couple of family members that are quite large and I sometimes remind them that being overweight is bad for your health and they increase the chances of heart attack and stuff like that. I guess this way shows I care about thier wellbeing and not just how they look. ----------------------------- EVE Online perfectly strikes all your free time wrecking your 1994 marriage.

ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:52:00 - [11] I can't say I've ever met anyone that enrages me other than my parents. They tend to assume that what they are saying has infinitely more importance than mine and just start talking to each other in the middle of me saying something. Ticks me off no end, that does. And on the few occasions where I lose it, thump the table and yell "I'M TALKING HERE!", they just look at me as if to say "How dare you interrupt me?" --------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalahari Wayrest	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:06:00 - [13] Edited by: Kalahari Wayrest on 17/08/2006 13:08:17 If they irritate me and I like them or are comfortable around them then I'll have it out with them and feel better. If it's someone I don't know or like, oddly, I have a harder time being rude and just try and avoid them/suck it up Unless they go too far, then I punch them As for your problem...as you're trapped with him...If he's not picking up on the signals you're giving him then you either need to make yourself clear or just get used to it, not great options and if it was me I'd probably wuss out and put up with it until my actions were beyond my control edit: omg at the bathroom story that's entirely too far, punch him __________________________ Indulge Me

Needless to say, I stare blankly ahead, or stare right through the man now, I think hes finally got the message, that even on work related subjects, I want as little as possible to do with him.

Suberus Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:15:00 - [15] For years, I have tried to behave well, do the right thing, be sensitive to peoples feelings...and it never bloody worked. Some people just never get the hint unless u make it so abundantly clear in no uncertain terms. Now I have a rep for being blunt, and not suffering fools gladly :( Fortunately now, my work colleagues have learnt that Im ****ed off, its best to stay out of my way :)
Scrofalitic One Total Warehouse Logistics Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:15:00 - [16] Something I have done a few times in the past to relieve the anger, both at the occasional colleague and with very very rude customers, is to get their home address and sign them up for anything and everything you can think of, the junk at the back of magazines is good for this. All the book clubs. (especially send him dozens of diet books...) Collections of velvet covered paintings of Elvis. Franklin Mint rubbish. Jehovah's Witnesses. Marxism groups. Anything and everything that will get idiots calling on them, or junk through the post that they don't want and can't use, that requires no credit card details to sign up for. Petty? Yes Satisfying? Yes Untraceable? Hell yes :)
Harkwyth Mist Caldari The Black Ops	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:17:00 - [17] Originally by: Bhaal I would just yell out loud so that everyone in the office can hear me: "My GOD man, you chew like a ***** COW!, I can't concentrate on my work here!" hahhahahhaha u sound just like the running commentary in my head i like to think of myself as easy going provided everyone leaves me the f* alone seriously tho, change the lock on his snack draw, then when he goes mental trying to get into it complain to your supervisor that his unstable behaviour makes you nervous and could he be moved, like to another company. The one thing that winds me up something chronic, is stupid drivers. i'm taking my test next a week on saturday, but there are people out there swear couldnt have passed. but i have perfected ust smiling and raising my hand in a 'thank u' gesture, but i'm mental sticking my fingers up and swearingloudly out the open window... i'm considering investing in a neon sign on my roof-rack that says 'YOU WNKER' that i can turn on for people that annoy me.... anyway soz for the mad rant, but if u cant give him the hint, then there is an old milit'ry saying, it is 'tough sht for you' Harkwyth Harkwyth Designs: Personalized Sigature Design

nahtoh Caldari Bull Industries	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:07:00 - [19] Revenge pure and simple, make it as simple or as complicated as you want. Also I do enjoy reading these stories BOFH stories . In my last place i worked we had theworldsmost whinney co-worker, I swear even her body languge was petulent. Nothing was ever her fault, it was not fair... When the romuor that she had had a nervous breakdown went round the office you nevver seen a happier bunch of people I swear. Think of ginger threads and then cube it, you might beable to comprehend how anoying she was... ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self
5hakey The Led Zeppelins	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:08:00 - [20] My preferred method of dealing with people who ** me off is to write a song about them (no not a poem ), invite them to the next gig, and introduce the song as dedicated to said person. Needless to say, a lot of people me off. Ive had bad experiences in the past, so simply assume that everyone is an ***** until they prove themselves otherwise....Ive written a lot of songs Cryin' won't help you, Prayin' will do you no good

Cathath Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:15:00 - [21] 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.

Kindakrof Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2006.08.17 20:54:00 - [22] I have one guy at work. I describe him as this: His biceps are about as thick as my fingers. He is 30 cm smaller than me (around 160). He's ugly as ** and i don't feel bad for saying, 1 year older then me and still a virgin (17 yo). He acts like big tough guy tho, "ye we goin downtown and get laid 'n stuff" .......... and he doesn't have any respect. I pity him wich is why i haven't rearranged his face. One day he was IN THE WAY! (working in a hangar) I asked him to move. He didn't so i bumped him. "What the hell you bumpin in to me for you *** idiot" i said " Just get out of my way please" i said exploding with annoyance and having inner voices screaming for the use of brute force. he replys "Just *** ask next time you mother**" I don't wanna let him just all over me and walk away with it so i said "Wow, how annoying you are you little piece of **" and he approached me, and got ready to swing a fist at my face. I readied myself placing my hand in a defensive position to block his punch. He swings... and at the last moment he decides not to just inches away from hitting my hand. GODDAMN IT THE ONE MOST DISAPPOINTING MOMENT OF MY LIFE I wanted to break his jaw... i know i'm evil --- --- --- my sig is pr0 Thanks for the lemon
PR0ELIATOR	Posted - 2006.08.17 21:38:00 - [23] 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.

Lienzo Minmatar	Posted - 2006.08.17 23:50:00 - [26] Oh my yes. 1)Bipolar people with responsibilities. 2)Hypomaniacs. 3)People that don't understand the elementary concepts of digital filing. On a server. 4)Capitalist Avengers & libertarians. (Smugness or self-righteousness I can handle, but only one at time.) 5)Batman. Bust a boardmember for once Captain Carnegie. 6)Anyone with more than 2 phone numbers. 7)Sales reps that followup compulsory upgrades. 8)Anyone who's concept of group task process analysis starts and ends at "make someone responsible for it because I can't keep up with what you're doing." 9)Any corporate officer or business owner that blithely ignores everything process engineers deduce, and then suggests the same thing two days later but with none of the efficiency-related changes included. 10)Whomever it is that is responsible for adding bitter artificial taste to ordinary poisonous substances.

Has worked for me once or twice when I have got the anti infrantry speel... I should. Though i dont think he believes what he says, i think he is just trying to bring me down and bring himself up. Generaly i just ignore him as much as possible. It appears he feels inferior to me now after spending the last 2 and 1/2 years at the head of the roost(almost everyone see's that though so its not like i have to defend my position), idk why though, he's the best athlete in the school and gets a 4.0+ every year(i float around 3.5 at best).
jbob2000 Gallente The Taining corp Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2006.08.18 03:27:00 - [28] I work as a camp counsellor for a Lego Robotics camp... Anything you guys think of, I promise you, I can match it. Some kids are just so stupid it is unbelievable. Fine, they're 10 years old but it is just so rediculous. For example, I told this one group exactly what they had to build. "Build a tower to mount your motor on" I say, then the response is "How do we do that?". IT's JUST A FREAKIN' TOWER!!! GRAB 10 LEGO PEICES AND STACK THEM FFS!. My usual response, however, is to just build the stupid thing in 5 seconds and let them continue. Also, it is crazy at how many kids just don't want to listen to you. Almost to the point of wanting to kill yourself. Another example... I was showing this 12 year old kid how to do the programming for the robot. I had explained everything, shown him examples, told him what icons to use, what order to put them in, basically everything short of actually writing the program. So he claims to understand so I walk away. After taking 5 steps... "DAAAVVEEE, I don't get it!" And then there are the snotty stuck up 10 year olds. Holy crap, dont even get me started. They think that they are always right. Example: A kid wanted to build a conveyor belt. Normally, this can be accomplished with 1 motor of course (taking a tank tread and rapping it around two wheels with the motor connected to one wheel). This kid wanted to use 4 motors for some reason. He claimed that no matter how he or his partner built it, it would need 4 motors to work. He had no design and couldn't explain to me how he was going to use the 4 motors he just needed to use them. I explained to him that using 4 motors will not make it run faster/be more powerful, they will not make it stronger, 4 isn't need to make it go reverse and forward (they're electric motors and can be reversed with the programming), then after he didn't believe me about that, I even explained to him that there were only 3 power slots on the robot brain, so 4 wouldn't work. "It needs 4 motors". I gave him the 3 extra motors and watch him fumble with it for 2 hours (yes two hours) before he came and asked me for help and admitted 1 motor would be enough. I then told him "No way, 4 motors is the way to go". Anyways, I'm done. More horror stories to follow if requested :P

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. "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."

That seems unnecessarily cruel though, and something i didn't want to devote alot of time too. 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!
Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.18 15:50:00 - [34] 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 "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."

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. Just be glad its just one...last place there was whinney girl, someone who had the words "right" and "okay" in every FECKING SENTANCE, Pick at you till he gets a response then complain you are annoyed after he spends 2 hours trying to wind you up man, then you ahve the managers, PROACTIVE MAN, could not pour **** rom a boot in the instructions were written on the sole woman and on and on and so forth... ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self
Lorth Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.18 17:00:00 - [36] 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.
Ebedar Gallente Primary Intelligence	Posted - 2006.08.18 17:21:00 - [37] 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. ~ In memory of Ben "ioctl" Crackel

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.
CynWulf Minmatar Supremacy	Posted - 2006.08.19 15:31:00 - [41] 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.
keepiru Supernova Security Systems	Posted - 2006.08.19 17:10:00 - [42] 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 >.> ---------------- Please fix BC Sig/Agility!
Ethan Tomlinson Flashman Services	Posted - 2006.08.20 07:53:00 - [43] 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

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.

Lunaticdie04 Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.21 19:00:00 - [55] 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 joined BoB and all I got was this crappy sign 族
Ithuriel Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.21 19:41:00 - [56] 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.
