Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

only thing i can think of i clicked on a link the day before to thottbot when i was googling something >.<

Yeah see that's the thing.
I don't check email on either computer.
I don't do facebook on either computer.
I do a couple message boards (here being one) and WoWhead, and that's about it.

And I use NoScript and Adblock.

All of my scans have come up negative. It's been suggested that I reformat, but I dread doing that since it'll destroy a Saturday.

I fucking hate living on base. People have no god damn courtesy when driving or parking in the neighborhoods. These roads are SO narrow that you can barely get an suv and a regular car down the middle of the street. You're only allowed to park on ONE side of the road because you wouldn't be able to get 1 suv down the middle if both sides were parked on. So you get stupid fuckers who think 25 mph isn't fast enough or your neighbors who have their 2 HUGE explorers PLUS family visiting with their fucking escalade taking up ALL the side street parking within 2 units of your house so you have to walk. Or you have the dumb cunt who parks on the WRONG side of the god damn road to drop her kids off to day care, thus blocking any and all traffic.

So, today I lost my shit.

The same cunt who parks on the wrong side of the road with her fucking SUV pulled over RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and parked. I waved at her, pointing at her car and then parked in our covered parking. I get David and grab my purse and start to walk in when she gets out. We're both giving each other stink eye in our morning pajamas and finally she does that arms outstretched shrug thing. I yell WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET.

'I'm not parking...'

WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET!!!!! I yell again and slam my fucking door while she's yelling back.

Not to mention the people who moved in down the street on the corner with THREE FUCKING CARS, two of which parked on the wrong side of the god damn road, of course, right on the corner. Oh and the fucking army cunt in the biggest black explorer I have EVER seen doing at least 35 in the morning with kids on the street, blocking traffic with her huge ass piece of shit. When you're coming down the street on the side where the cars are parked, its courtesy to let the other car pass before you pull around and drive down damn near the wrong side of the road. Not this bitch, she floors it down housing, straight down the middle.

I fucking...hate...living on base. Some people are just fucking white trash with no god damn sense.

I actually called housing and asked if maybe I was overreacting. People parking on the side of the street that has a fire hydrant are in violation. So it's not me. The housing lady was really nice about it too - I understand that there are just too many people, too many cars, and very little space - but come on. We follow the rules, why can't anyone else?

I liked having neighbors who were all in the same boat as me when I lived on base, but yeah, there was a lot -not- to like about base housing. Parking was constant bullshit - nice to have parking spot wars out of my life.

So... I just got an e-mail from the property management people that manage this place..... apparently the owners wanna know if we're interested in buying.....

Think I'm starting to worry bout that... it can't be good any way.

(we dun wanna buy yet & even if we did, I *hate* this house & would only consider it if it were dirt cheap)

I feel your pain Roz. been there!!

This is housing (located off base, but still military housing) of where we use to live before hubby got out last year. Nice little community of brand new townhomes. Loved it. Lived thered 4yrs. There was even a dog park right behind me! LOL Anyways... this is easier to explain with a picture. LOL



Green Areas = Visitor / Extra parking
Yellow Areas = speed bumps that were badly placed
Blue Area = Jackass neighbors parking

Speed limit in the neighborhood, 25 mph or 15 mph from 7-9am and 2-4pm - at the end of Cedar drive a few blocks north, was the elementary school. Did that stop people from doing 40mph through housing? No! So after much bitching from everyone, speed bumps were put in place. All that shit did was make things worse! People would bypass the speed bumps by cutting through the little cauldasacs (or however thats spelled) in front of a section of the townhouses where most kids played/rode bicycles.

OMG don't even get me started on the Blue Jackass neighbors. I don't know how many fucking cars and SUVs they had or if they had that many damn people over all the damn time but that whole area in blue (including their driveway) always had cars parked there on BOTH sides. Do you know how hard it is to fit a full size Ford 150 ext cab long bed pickup truck around a corner packed with cars on both sides of a curved entrance? HARD! Did these people ever both using visitor/extra parking? NO! Cause God forbid their lazy asses would walk more then 5ft from a vehicle to the front door.

I'm so fricking glad to be out of military housing and living civilian life now with my cozy brick home on 1/4 ac and my OWN FUCKING DRIVEWAY!

"cul de sac" = "bottom of bag"

After reading these stories, all I can say is thank God it wasn't me. Especially the blue-colored jackass neighbors. I'd be cracking some heads.

I get really... frustrated... with people who break the simple little rules like that while everyone else is trying to follow them. The jackass who is dropping off or picking up somebody that parks OH BUT IM NOT PARKING LOOK MY CAR IS RUNNING right in your way. The assholes at Home Depot who park in the loading zone, and when someone tells them to move their car, they actually say NO. The jerkoff who rides on the shoulder of the road so they can get off the exit ramp before the 90 people who are waiting not-quite-patiently-but-still-waiting in line. I want to grab them and slap the shit out of them and scream WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL?!???!?!? Like we want to park and walk when we can just pull up to the fire lane and drop our passengers off. Like we want to park halfway down the parking lot to go into Home Depot for 2 minutes to buy a lightbulb when we can just park in the loading zone. Like we want to wait in line for 5 minutes to get off the Interstate. But we do it, because that's how civilized people roll.

We have the same problems with our neighbors and we don't even live in a an army base.

While I was pregnant I was a tad more opinionated about them. I had to waddle my 9 month prego ass around snow and ice because some inconsiderate piece of shit would park right in front of my house, if you didn't know us, you'd think the car was ours it was that damn close. I think I must have blown a gasket about two or three times, put notes on cars, ect before they finally got it through their heads not to park there.
They now have a little one of their own and seem to understand why I got pissy with them. Party now, bitches! ;)

It's actually super enraging even now to think about it, so I can SO understand what you're saying, Roz!

We have our own home, not military or anything, in a tiny rural town, across the street from a church in one direction, and the church's community building in the other. Our house used to be the Mayor's house, and I guess there were some things he didnt mind, specially since he was a member of the church.

We only have two exits on our street. We have a corner house, but our driveway and garage only exit on the one. So whenever the church has church, or any kind of event be it a birthday party or a "bike day" or a christmas party they park in our yard, in front of our garage, we have even had them park horses in our yard for parades. (that was a city thing)

One time they blocked both ends of our street, before each crossroad, so that they could have bike races for kids, from about 8 in the morning til they closed up at 5 pm. David had to park down the street. We are the only house that has a driveway on this street.

Shit like that would be getting me felonies because I would smack the fuck out of people. Our neighbors have their grown kids over sometimes (not so much lately) and they ALWAYS park in front of my house and I wanna go popping tires and beating heads in. Their kids used to live there (they are in their 30s) and always parked in front of the house. So I get it. This is part of why I don't drive I would get road rage and run some asshole down.

It can be difficult to pass up, I'll admit it.

Who the hell makes driveways on a hill? I almost flipped my car last night trying to get up my own drive, but this stupid ass warm weather has turned it to pure ice and I slid back down and almost off the embankment. I was holding on for dear life and had to wait for Guy to try pull me straight. Instead the car slid the other way and I went down the embankment forwards instead of backwards at least. By this time I'm so scared I'm laughing and Mikaela is screaming at me from the driveway 'Why the fuck are you laughing, are you INSANE?!' Then the rope snaps and I slide right to the bottom into a pile of snow, by this time on 2 wheels in my lil sports car, and somehow managed to drive out of the ditch.

On a related note, people need to put their fucking house numbers somewhere visible from the roadside for us pizza delivery drivers (and whoever else) so we dont have to drive down driveways only to find out its the wrong freaking house anyway. Then spend 5 minutes trying to get out of an unploughed driveway. Like seriously, we deliver pizza, we cant afford 4 wheel drive trucks and shit to deliver in.

Its one of the few things I miss about Britain, house numbers ALWAYS go up in increments of 2, so you know that no matter how far along the street the next house is, you know what number its going to be. And they always start with number 1! Not like this town where some streets are in increments of 20, others in 16's, 4's, 8's, and any other random number people can think of!

Oh and the people that bitch about delivery charges...our cars do not run on thin air, sorry! Specially when you live 15 minutes up the side of a mountain. Wish they did cos it would save me $80 a week on gas!

Wow, I feel better now, had to get that off my shoulders lol.

So glad I no longer live in base housing. We had neighbors that made me lose my shit on pretty much a daily basis.

Not sure how it is in Canada (or wherever you live now), but here in FL, the east and south sides of a street are even-numbered, and therefore can never be "1". Starting from whatever arbitrary point the city planners decide they would call the "middle", the street numbers (and therefore the house numbers) go up the further away you travel. So, starting from the center of town, if you travel east on 1st street (or any street really, but I like 1st street), all the houses between 2nd and 3rd avenue will be numbered between 200 and 300. If there are only 5 houses, the addresses can't go up in increments of 2.

It makes finding individual addresses a pain sometimes, but it's easy to figure out which way to go at least, if you have an address, or to figure out where the hell you are, if you happened to drink too much the night before and wake up in a strange place.
