When you make plans so far in advance and something/someone still messes up.

When you make plans so far in advance and something/someone still messes up.

I had something like that happen last year, the only time I've ever really planned anything in advance.

 

My sister got me tickets to a pre-season NHL game only to have the game cancelled due to lock-out. The good news is, the tickets are still good for the make-up game this year.

If touchscreens are the future, I'm never going to be reasy for it.

^ Yeah, I'm doing some laptop shopping for college, and like half of the new ones advertise the fact that they have touch screens. I can't really think of any scenarios where I would want to navigate a laptop via touch screen.

Laptop is one thing, but tablets and smartphones are best with touchscreens.

Who thought getting greasy finger marks all around your viewing apparatus was a good idea anyway?

Well, some of them touchscreens have oleophobic coating, which more-or-less helps keep the screens quite clean.

My phone doesn't, apparently.

i have an oleophobic coating if you know what i mean

A commerical the once said that a reality tv show was when "people stop being nice and being real", and showing people being angry and being jerks to everyone. That is also not real. I dont like how most reality shows work. They are probably not real. Only real as in there are real people and they are not trained actors. Also that the commercial that said "if you dont believe America is still innovative, you should shut your stupid face". People cant shut their faces. And shouldnt if they can. Unless its someone like him

The sleep button on the top left of my keyboard. It's functionally the same as a "crash your computer" button.

I hate livestream players that have a pause button but don't pause. If it's just going to be live when I press play it should be a stop button, not a pause one.

Naive optimists, pesimists, and a new term i made up- Naive pesimists, who are those who think all humans are evil and selfishness is human nature, and think everything that can go wrong already has.

Oh, you've met my brother and his girlfriend have you? :lol:

That's me pretty much.

 

An advantage of a pessimist is that when something good unexpectedly happen to you, you'll appreciate it more, and when something unexpectedly bad happens, it won't hit you as hard.

 

Although I am more of a Murphy's Law advocate, if something can go wrong (which is pretty much anything), it will go wrong, just a matter of time.

when something good unexpectedly happen to you, you'll appreciate it more

That only works until your pessimistic self takes back control, at which point you are bound to find something terrible about the something good... even if nothing terrible can realistically be found. Pessimism is great, isn't it?

Pessimism is great, isn't it?

Pessimism is terrible. Just like everything else.

Most of the time I just simply forget about the good stuff, I never (or at least I don't ever remember) complaining about the good stuff

Are you kidding? Everything is great! It just took me 4 tries to spell "everything" correctly, and it is still great!

I remember the good stuff, and the bad. I tend to forget the middle ground kind of stuff.

I prefer the term realist.

 

Prepare for the worst, do your best.

I am going to university in autumn, and I don't know where I will be living at...

I need a flatmate.

The uncertainty is killing me.

Specially if I am [bleep]ing 1300 km's from the university and I even cannot personally go to check apartments until the school has already started...

Your school doesn't have dorms?

I prefer the term realist.

 

Prepare for the worst, do your best.

Or, when doing Treasure Trails, expect the worst but hope for the best.

Or if you're me: Expect the worst, receive much worse.

The wheel of squeal. Just like gambling in real life, never gets me anywhere.
