And be sure to hold your handbag/backpack away from your body straight out from the shoulder, as to block off the maximum amount.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

PS, In light of the apparent fact that people are (d)evolving into fuck'n gastropods, I'm thinking of joining the NZ olympic walking team. Wanna be my training partner Xeno? I seems like we'd have a good shot at a gold/silver finish :>

See now there's an idea! Imagine what we could do as a team... We could draft, and also steer slow people into buses with our powerful walking skills.

People that drive up to traffic lights, but then stop miles away from the limit line and the coil for activating the lights.

I'm usually stuck behind the gormless twits!

^ people who don't understand those coils suck
I remember once, there were people waiting to turn right at the traffic lights, but they were too far over (almost on the wrong side of the road because of a car that was in the wrong place before the lights went red) and they weren't sitting on top of the coils


So I pulled up to the left of them (in the right hand turning lane, on top of the coils) and the lights changed, and then when I went around the corner, nobody would let me merge back in, like I was the one being dumb by trying to 'skip traffic' or something


Urgh, you're welcome, dicks.

Took bike in for a WOF at local motorcycle shop. Shop owner tells me "Oh, your bikes low on oil too" I ask "Low? How low? Badly low?" He says "Oh, I don't know"

Client asks for price on 16 page book.
Client accepts price. Proceeds to provide content for book - 40 pages worth.
Client wants PDF proof in 4 days based on the garbage content they've provided. Inconsistent, contradictive and 0 order on how the content is supposed to be laid out.
Do my best. 4 days, 40 page proof is finished.

Client responds with "it's inconsistent" and provides changes via breaking down my original PDF proof, laying up each page in a FUCKING POWERPOINT DOCUMENT and re-PDFs.

I see dumb people.

There's this website called SumOfUs. I signed a petition they were hosting once, I forget what it was for. Ever since I have received an ungodly amount of spam from them. 1-2 emails daily.

Their most recent spam is - "We have legal fees, we're being sued by corporations etc etc. Please donate $1". Every god damn day it's an email asking to donate something to someone.

Replied with this:

"Good. You're bloody annoying.

"We need to pay for parking, will you donate $1"
"We forgot bacon for breakfast, will you donate $1"
"Our cars got impounded while getting the bacon because we didn't pay for parking, will you donate $1".

There's this website called SumOfUs. I signed a petition they were hosting once, I forget what it was for. Ever since I have received an ungodly amount of spam from them. 1-2 emails daily.

I got an interesting email from Spring.me today, formerly known as Formspring:
Quote
Meet the new Spring.me!
 
Exciting news, Tiwaking “tiwaking” ! :-)

Spring.me has joined forces with Twoo and now has 30% more charm, 40% more love and 70% more awesomeness.

And the extra cool thing? Your new Twoo account is ready for you, right now. Your important Spring.me data also made the switch! You're welcome! ❤

Who are Twoo? Well. A google search leads to this fantastic article:

http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/03/a-year-of-spam-twoo/

Quote
Twoo, “the fastest growing place to meet new people,” has been spamming people for over a year.

Users have been complaining that they get unsolicited emails from the app, that the app messages all of their contacts without their understanding, and that it’s unclear how to delete their accounts.

I covered Twoo’s questionable growth techniques a year ago, when co-founder and CEO Lorenz Bogaert said it was “just not clear enough.” He claimed, “We do not send any messages without the prior consent of the user,” and said the company “had already decided to add an additional confirmation step to avoid any unintended actions.”

And yet, a year later, problems with Twoo persist. The connect with friends via email component, which is what users have complained about the most, looks functionally the same as when I wrote about the company a year ago.

Search “Twoo spam” on Twitter (don’t dare trying just “Twoo,” it’s an island of misfit grammar), and you’ll see user complaints from the past three years.
