I sense a lot of angst lately on this board. There have been some contentious posts, and it seem like some people here just need to vent. So I have started the "Venting Thread." So here goes:
I hate it when I burn my bagel. AAAARRRRRrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!
And then I make a new one and drop it on the ground cream cheese side DOWN onto the driveway. And then I drive to work hungry behind somebody text messaging their buddy and driving about 25mph in a 45mph zone! RATSNFRATS!!!!
There I'm feeling better already.

TRAFFIC! I hate it! I especially hate it when some yahoo thinks he's being cool by creating a rolling road block because someone is riding too close. Oh boy, does it ever make me want to drive that jerk off the road! I must add that I was not the one following too close, I was a few cars behind, but still.
While I'm on the subject, I hate it when I see some hothead in a BMW 3 series who thinks he's God's gift swerving in and out of lanes, trying to get ahead. (no offense to owners of BMWs...they're fine automobiles. Its just that most of the folks that I know that own the 3 series are self-centered pricks)
Oh, I could go on...but I won't.
Thanks Mr Ouch!

I hate when people throw statistics out to try to make their case because 77% of the time they are wrong anyway.

I find that when I vent, people usually throw open the windows and run out.

Arg.. I have been trying to be ultra dad/spouse/freind/employee lately and my wife has been going through a rough spot, hopefully not due to me, at least thats what she tells me. I haven't been getting much acknowledgement or affection, so I have felt edgy lately and even though I'm 150-ish days sober I have felt the first real urges to act out lately. I have an editing workstation that has unchecked internet access, and a few times I have had to walk away and follow my protocol to avoid slipping.
I have not been sharing these feelings with anyone, and I can step back and see where it is coming from. I have been lonely, frustrated, and putting on my happy face anyway to help boost my wife's mood. Hopefully just getting this out and sticking to the program will keep me on the right path. The willpower is there, but it would be great not to have to use it and let go of these stupid urges.

Ethan
This is something that I didn't recognize until just recently as being a tremendous help in battling those urges. Set aside some uninterrupted time to pamper your wife. Even something simple like a massage or whatever she likes. It is amazing how focusing on trying to lift someone else lifts you as well as brings you closer together emotionally.

I hate it when unico is right which is 81.9172% of the time. I hate people who use stats all the time. I hate it when people say there is a 50/50 chance of heads or tails on a coin flip, totally ignoring the other possibilities--like landing on the edge, being snatched out of the air by a passing eagle, being vaporized by an alien beam weapon or a whole host of less probable events.
actually unico is always right 100% of the time LOL in his dreams. Me too although I am actually right 98.9612345% of the time.
I'd say the probability that someone else follows this post in 9070 in 10000.

I hate it when pornified friends of the family come over and use your computer, and when told NOT to put P on the computer, they still cruise dirty MySpace pages and anything else they can think of thats not "technically" P.
They aren't allowed to touch the PC anymore.
My rule.

I wanna be completely petty & gripe!
It irks me when people say "Have your cake & eat it, too!"
Well of course you can eat your cake if you have it. Otherwise you're eating someone else's cake or not eating nothin' at all!
No! It's, "Eat your cake & have it too."
How about, "I could care less!"
Well of course you could care less!
No! It's, "I couldn't care less!"
Okay. I'm done.
No I'm not. I'll think of somethin' else.
ETA: Oh! And I second ethanm's words.
Told ya'!

Well mo4, I had my cake and ate it to. Carried the thing around my middle for years until the doctor told me the stats for my condition. See danged stats ruin all the fun. If you have your cake and eat it--it doesn't disappear it just changes form. I think that's the 52nd law of thermodynamics or something.
