psssht, the butts all end up in the drain and go out to sea for the lil fishies to feed on.

p.s I'm one of those wankers and I know it's terrible, but I hate stale cigarette butts in my car.

While we're at it, cunts who think that because it's anywhere outside, it's ok to smoke. No, it's not you stupid motherfucker.

[Malks] Pixie · 21st November 2007, 10:55

When I go outside to have a smoke, and specifically pick somewhere where there is no one else near by to be affected by my smoking - and then someone comes along and asks me if I could move somewhere else to smoke. No - I specifically came here so I wouldn't bother people - I'm being considerate, you're being a cunt - I was here first, you go somewhere else.

Waking up early and deciding to do a cooked breakfast for myself before my carpool arrives. Not planning properly so my breakfast isn't quite finished cooking at the time I need to be out at my gate then having to wait 10 minutes past the normal pickup time because the carpool needed to get gas knowing that my cooked breakfast was being eaten by someone else

Brownie points though for cooking the wife breakfast

Discovering that, while I'm in one branch of the codebase. Cutting out multiple the different ways of doing "user/client fields" in our model objects that have accumulated over the years, and replacing them with one decent system. A co-worker is adding a fourth different way of doing them, in a single model object, on another branch. Four fucking ways! Didn't the other three ways stick out at all? Didn't the fact that I'd just shown you how to use the new system in another situation make you thing you should use it instead of making your own, again?

What should we drink instead of milk? Beer? Oh no wait, think of the people harvesting the hops and barley with their horrible polluting machinery. Come to think of it, every beverage that we buy from the shop has to be trucked there, so that's more horrible pollutants. Shit, so we can only drink water from the tap or from our own personal well in the back yard?

Quote:

"We are the only species that drinks another person's milk, so why aren't we drinking rat's milk, or dog's milk, or cat's milk, that's how crazy it is," she said.

What a stupid bint. Where does she think goat's cheese comes from? I wonder if she had considered that milk is taken from sheep, horses, donkeys, camels, yaks, water buffalo and reindeer in many parts of the world and consumed as milk or cheese by humans before she made that statement? No, of course not. Vegans aren't known for rational arguments.
Has anyone tried milking a rat? Tends to be tricky rounding them up given that they're not dopey herd animals... Besides which, I think a yak would probably yield a lot more milk than a cat. Again, not something a vegan would consider.

Quote:

"It's mad that we are having cow's milk. Even cows don't drink it after one year but we continue forever."

That's because cows haven't figured out how to make coffee. Duh

How about this: instead of having milk trucked, cafes would have clean rats that are bred in captivity. A customer would be given a rat with their coffee and they could just squirt some milk straight out of the rat into their cup.
WOULD THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY, HEATHER MILLS? YOU GREAT DOPEY CUNT.

The damn stupid markup for electronic equipment that we get here in NZ.

I could, literally, fly myself to LA to purchase the new Panasonic AE-2000 projector, fly back and it would still be cheaper than purchasing it here.

"ooh waaah but NZ is so small and the freight and the dragons and small market and waaah". Perhaps it's the high prices that drive people to import that ends up keeping the prices high and supply low. Catch 22 ...

I'm in the same boat for Eizo LCD monitors... they retail for around $3-5k in NZ, but from States its closer to $2k...

Gear grind: when an auction on Tademe goes to almost double the reserve price. Bag I wanted for my camera for 80 bucks went up to $150!! It's a fucking bag, stop bidding on it cunts! (of course the seller must be chuffed)

WTF? It's an auction, that's how they work. If I was selling something and it sold for twice what I was happy to let it go for then I would indeed be chuffed.
Just buy a different bag if you don't want to pay as much as someone else is willing to. You really shouldn't let your gear get ground by something as trivial as another person being willing to pay more than you are for some random item on an auction site.
