What is really pissing you off tonight?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

I am sure there are a wide variety of things from your neighbor's dog barking
to the mess in the Middle East.

For me, it's that I was just reading about a reality TV star who is in jail for lying
on mortgage applications. True crime, deserves punishment. But it made
me think about all the traders, investors, and rating agencies who created the loose mortgage/pool for
securitization mess who are probably sitting in the Plaza on their second martini.

My 401k is STILL not back to what it was. Grrrr.

[peacebird]

1. The repubs passing religious freedumb laws that make it legal to discriminate

That one really irritates me.
Oh , and the TPP... Why is Obama selling us out with THAT?

[Sherman A1]

2. Thanks

now I have to go check my 401k......

[Laura PourMeADrink]

58. Funny. All the people I know who are rich

don't have much of a 401k - they've taken it an bought properties to rent out. Makes so much sense - better return.

[jberryhill]

3. Nothing yet, but it's early

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. LOL ! If you made it through the day JB you're golden !! nt

[jberryhill]

29. I haven't watched the news yet

So there's that.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Shitty writers who make my editing job a PITA.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Don't you think it's getting harder and harder to write? I know my

spelling which used to be primo - has gone way down hill with spellcheck. And now
depend on Word to show me my run-on sentences instead of just thinking like I
used to.

[jberryhill]

31. I turn all that stuff off

Except on my phone where I can't really figure out how to turn it off, but will put up with the occasional auto-correct faux pas.

I was at baggage claim the other day and nothing was coming off of the belt. Eventually, they announced there was a problem with the luggage and they were working on it. I had texted my wife that I'd be late, and then, when the belt started working again I meant to text, "the luggage system is working again", but it auto-corrected to "the luggage system is working Asian", and she couldn't figure out why the Philadelphia airport had some Asian guy down there sorting out the luggage.

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. Word's spellcheck is horrific, especially when dealing with AP.

Many times Word is also wrong with fragments. I hear ya.

[PassingFair]

33. If the writers weren't so shitty....

they wouldn't need an editor!

BTW....I quit my job last week....

Going back to work for Pieter (what am I, CRAZY?)

[ScreamingMeemie]

73. Half the time I'm a rewriter.

You are crazy, gurl.

Best of luck though, and there will be more fun stories to tell me next time we see each other. Miss you so much.

[Throd]

69. So you're a POOPT.

Polisher Of Other People's Turds.

I have to do that as a graphic designer, so you have my sympathies.

[ScreamingMeemie]

74. You nailed it.

I think we're fast running out of cloth. I can't even imagine how horrid it must be dealing with clients when you're in graphic design.

[rogerashton]

89. Editors are what PMO

Well, not really -- my eds have really done some pretty good jobs -- but there is that newspaper person -- who just doesn't know who made the change that reversed my meeting -- she assures me that SHE didn't do it.

It helps if the ed can actually read.

[KamaAina]

5. I'm facing a two-pronged attack!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. So sorry....if I hadn't been working would have propped you up. I thought

the EXACT same thing on the peeing thing...but then imagined the crazy pilot
like filling him up with drinks or maybe a water pill. Somehow - found a
way for him to have to leave. I haven't had a chance to catch up - when did
the plane crash? how long after take off.

I have found that it is best to not try to defend yourself/thoughts just to either
ignore or call the person out for being a disrupter rather than a contributor.

[KamaAina]

19. It would have been maybe two-thirds of the way through

eastern France.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Ok - that changes everything doesn't it - been a while since take-off,

right? Or are you saying it's odd?

[KamaAina]

75. I am saying it's odd

I never go during a mere two-hour flight. I have, in fact, held it in many times from Newark to Honolulu and back -- ten hours.

[DebJ]

79. You are female, right? I often hold it way too long because public restrooms are gross....

for a woman. Men could care less............ if I could stand, I wouldn't care either.

[KamaAina]

94. Everyone seems to think that!

kama'aina means "local person" (lit. "child of the land&quot . I am, however, a feminist, and consider that a warm and valued compliment.

My Mom, however, is female (surprise! ), and managed to hold it that whole way once.

[shenmue]

6. We're out of vodka

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Nooooooo ! What kind?

I like Tito's hand crafted in Austin...1/3 of the cost of Grey Goose and three times smoother. :&gt

[shenmue]

12. Finlandia

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Oh man...you live where I kissed my first boyfriend

at the World's Fair. I am stuck in TX now (gag)...but surely in the
modern world out there where I am not - they have liquor delivery???

[shenmue]

27. I'm too tired to go to the store

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. what's your zip - found a delivery service !

[cwydro]

8. I'm upset about the copilot

who crashed a plane with 149 souls.

[shenmue]

14. Yes

Very shocking and depressing.

[smirkymonkey]

38. I'm upset that nobody is more upset that he took out 150

other innocent lives with him. Is it because he's white? Depressed? Why are people not more angry? I have been suicidally depressed before but I never thought about taking 150 innocent civilians with me.

[cwydro]

42. I think everyone is upset about this copilot.

This is horrible.

[marlakay]

86. I know they keep saying what a nice kid he was

If he didn't do anything and just got killed fine...but when you kill 150 innocent people with your decision, you not such a nice kid anymore.

Even if he had mental problems, I feel someone he worked with should have picked up on it, or his family.

[840high]

62. Yes. Can't get it out

of my mind today.

[trumad]

10. I burned my kielbasa on my grill.

Shit!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Oh shit. But, like it seriously browned. You sure it's not

bitter burned?

[jberryhill]

15. Badly?

A little blackened is okay.

[hack89]

18. The way the Bruins are playing. Nt

[KamaAina]

21. Maybe they can play the Guppies for the Booby Cup.

[CTyankee]

20. my bad back. OK, it's a problem because I set on the computer too long

on DU. My bad.

Still, why, oh why, oh Lord...

[smirkymonkey]

39. Yeah, that too! My lower back has been killing me and

I forgot to stop at the pharmacy to pick up some Salon Pas patches.

[CTyankee]

93. I take the tylenol extra strength arthritis formula...

I get injections from my rheumatologist but for some reason I still am hurting. Usually those shots help...

[moondust]

22. Assholes

who for whatever reason believe it's okay to take somebody/anybody else with them on their suicide trip.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

[PassingFair]

24. I'm hating menopause. Or perimenopause.

Or whatever the hell I'm going through right now.

[LiberalElite]

28. I got through that

pretty easy except for mood swings - but one of my friends (age around 80) says when she dies, there will be steam coming out of her coffin.

[cwydro]

46. I'm with ya hon.

the hot flashes are killing me.

[uppityperson]

25. Someone killed a planeload of people and others are outraged about kids climbing on a statue

I do not understand people.

[leftofcool]

26. I had to swear off chocolate.

[MrMickeysMom]

30. I'm pissed at how history repeats itself and how human evolution is failing us...

Not only do we have unsolved bizarre happenings (airliner pilot, TPP secrets, monsters who are cops destroying their baby)… We don't seem to be able to keep up with all of what has driven societies to behave in such a manner.

We terrorize in the name of religion

We piss on natives in their land, steal their resources, control their leaders, and profit from it

We produce the WORST people who rise to the highest level of of elected positions in American government

We de-value education

We de-value the elderly

We de-value our children by stealing their education in the name of fascism

And, we bend over and grab our collective ankles as none of our jobs are worth the price it takes to perform in them - in the name of fascism.

We can't even recognize or give creed to how the lesser have always suffered whilst the 0.01% are in charge of all these rules under all these positions of American government.

Hey… you asked.

[liberal_at_heart]

32. Right this minute, nothing at all. I have been feeling very anxious lately so I have stepped up

my meditation and right now I am doing much better.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Meditation not Medication right? I wish I knew more about the former !

[leftofcool]

52. Take a look at Brain Sync

There is a fabulous guided meditation called "The Secret Universal Mind Meditation" Very relaxing and you can fall asleep to it. Just get ipod or MP3 player and earbuds. Best thing I ever found.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. Hey, thanks a million !! nt

[Zorra]

34. Indiana. nt

[Gemini Cat]

92. Same here. Indiana.

[MicaelS]

40. That Indiana bill have got me pretty smoked right now.

Some clowns on a private forum I spend time are trotting out their favorite meme:

"Well, we should let the market handle it."

[realFedUp]

41. Floyd Dent

Is there a thread about this currently? Another Black American stopped and hauled out of his car, beaten in the head, while choke held, and drugs planted in his car, while a camera records the whole scenario. Officer Menendez of Inkster, Michigan has former felonies paid by police dept. R u fucking kidding me. Fire everyone. No severance. Civil suit payment should shut them down anyway.

[giftedgirl77]

50. There was one earlier today....

or it may have been yesterday, my days kinda blend.

[pangaia]

43. Notre Dame just hit three 3-pointers in a row..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. TBS?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. I found it. Go F I

[smirkymonkey]

44. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

I effing hate Ted Cruz. And pretty much every other republican on the radar these days.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Yup - that's an everyday thing huh. My husband actually voted for this

clown - only hearing he was an Ivy Leaguer - in a Rep primary. I love it because
I will always have something to laugh at him about.

He's actually not a clown - he's much more dangerous and scary than a clown. He actually
seems crazy and delusional (and not like we usually say)

[justhanginon]

48. That brigade of bigots surrounding

Governor Pence as he signed the Indiana State Christian Bigotry Bill. Absolutely disgusting!

[giftedgirl77]

49. My teenage son had the audacity to bitch & complain

because I gave him cash instead of putting the money on his debit card. Like cash is somehow worth less.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. That's a new one. So it's cooler to pay with a card than cash? nt

[giftedgirl77]

55. I don't know if it's cooler or the lack of using cash

or what. He'll be 17 this month & has had a debit card since he was about 9 & I heard about it for days. How you have to go in & pay for gas & he couldn't buy xbox points you would've thought the world had ended.

It was painful really.

[DebJ]

80. Tell him to add it to the card himself then. n/t

[giftedgirl77]

90. Ha! He can't it can only be loaded from my bank account.

I have complete access to the card I can suspend it, monitor it, limit it, etc. Other than that it's just like a regular bank card, but our bank doesn't have any locations near us.

[DebJ]

91. oh, ok. I was thinking more along the lines of a Green Dot card. n/t

[Cleita]

54. Ordinary people are being turned into criminals for minor

infractions or just making bad decisions. Our criminal and justice sytems have gone awry. It's scary.

[Lyric]

56. I had an upper endoscopy today

and now I can't seem to quit coughing. Argh. I woke up from the anesthesia coughing, and I've been coughing ever since. :/

[Laura PourMeADrink]

57. Sorry - guess it's normal from putting foreign object in huh? Hope you feel

better tomorrow !

[840high]

63. Honey should help.

[Freddie]

59. Potholes

Had a meeting @ church tonite and driving there in the dark, in the rain (March thunderstorm, creepy) and playing dodge the craters-of-the-moon potholes. Took a different way home. Worse than last year.

[lovemydog]

61. Nothing much.

Gonna make spaghetti with vodka sauce. Take a hot bath. Read (finishing Angela Davis' autobiography & starting on Plato's Trial & Death of Socrates). Watch the newest Hunger Games movie. Probably check back here with my buds at DU a bit later.

I read the news, horrible stuff happening & don't feel good about it. I don't watch tv 'news' and try not to get too hyped up or down.

I'm grateful I've got heat & a nice place to sleep. My heart goes out to the families & loved ones of the people on that plane crash.

[AngryOldDem]

64. Indiana legalizing discrimination, and my job.

And I can't do much about either.

[Lars39]

65. Things are starting to bloom and allergies

are kicking butt.

[stone space]

66. I'm pissed off about assholes who photograph other peoples' children and plaster their faces...

...all over the internet so that they can go viral.

That's just plain creepy.

[Skittles]

67. the feeling that more and more, people are behaving in ways that make no sense

yup

[Jamaal510]

68. I'm not mad right now, but

the most annoying things about my life are my nervousness when it comes to learning how to drive, and not having enough money to fly to Ukraine to meet a friend.
As far as things outside of my personal life go, I would say that I'm most frustrated with the lack of political participation in this country and how trivial the mainstream news has become (including FOX, CNN, and MSNBC).

[Texasgal]

70. I'm moving.

Sold my house and moving into a small condo to save money and downsize. What is pissing me off? The movers are charging 800.00 bucks to move me 1.5 miles down the street!

[madfloridian]

71. I hate seeing teachers being called "selfish assholes" at a Democratic forum. Link.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026419232#post7

[tammywammy]

76. I finished my strategic management class Tues 17 March and final grades still aren't posted!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

77. Oh, sharper than a serpent's tooth....

is a thankless child.


That's all. Except it's my birthday (and a milestone one) and I have damn few friends and even less family. DU is part of my family!! Even when I get chased off for a few days or get disgusted.

[SoCalDem]

84. AMEN....my son won't call me back

I know he's busy...but sheesh.. He has our ladder and we need it back

[Manifestor_of_Light]

85. It's worse than that.

[William769]

78. The lack of outrage that happened in Indiana today. nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

81. Lineral DUers that feel compelled to ...

post in every single thread discussing racism, that racism isn't that bad ... well, not as bad as income inequality.

[edbermac]

82. Can't transfer data to my new Mac

My 9 year old mac crapped out, trying to migrate but not working.

[marlakay]

83. All it takes to sell house and move

I have been going insane between all the organizing, giving stuff away, throwing stuff away, cleaning, cleaning, lifting, lifting...

Then grieving because it was my husband who talked me into move. I love this house, this town in the mountains.

Just so much work, and hard not to be pissed off about it.

[Scootaloo]

87. Scalded some skin off my inner elbow at work; that hurts like a bitch

But scored some nice finds at the bookstore on my way home.

One of which is Derrick Jensen's "endgame." Which has me pissed at pretty much everything.

[jmowreader]

88. That the cockpit door on a commercial airliner is in the wrong place

You know what could have totally prevented this crash from happening? Putting the cockpit door aft of the lavatory.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. brilliant

[bigwillq]

96. Automated toilets that flush when you're not even done peeing!

I don't like anything automated.
I can flush a toilet by myself, thank you very much.
