The way some of these kids behave though is insane, Honestly I blame the lack of parenting, I wouldn't dare talk to anyone the way a frighteningly huge amount of these kids do.

I am that one "a*hole" (in quotes because I get labeled that when really I am the only one who speaks up) who will scold parents and their kids if they p*ss me off enough in public. I don't give a damn who you are. Last year I had a kid come up and kick me in the shin because I was taller than this random 7 or 8 year old boy. Since that day no *ucks have ever been given by me when it comes to this.
I get triggered thinking about it... lol

So My Nexus 5x has fallen into death. The dreaded boot loop issue. Have to send it in for repairs. LG say its free because they have this issue on so many phones. I am sure it is free. To bad the website is and can't find it anywhere.

Man today has been a bloody test !
So first thing I did was check my emails when I woke up. My bike frame/parts have now moved out of the GSP Ebay place. Finally. Then I look at all of the charges. $210 for the frame and parts, $65 shipping, $62 "Import charges.. So you don't have to pay them when the item arrives". Then I read the fooking small print.
"Does not include import tax in your country or charges added by courier".
Great, I've just paid $62 for sodding AIR. Never again. Not only that but they're lazy buggers too. Been two weeks last Friday since I bought it, it's sat there for over a week. Glad to know that Americans are happy to work for their wages /rolleyes. Everything else I have ordered for the bike (from all over the EU *AND* China) is here.
'Murica, f**k no.
OK so that was the first kick in the nuts. I then sell my Titan X(M) for full asking price. £325, bloody cheap. But hey, quick sales in out etc. So I go to book a courier. P2G want £6.99 for Parcelforce 48. "Awesome !" I thought. I even managed to find a big box to pack all of the extras in. Then I go to insure it. Figure sod it, receipt says £968 will insure for that. They wanted £45 for insurance. OK so I will drop the insurance to £500, that will be £35 please. So I dropped it to the sale price, £26. So then I get stuffed with a 2% surcharge for Paypal.
£35. It cost me thirty five pounds. So I think "Ah well, at least PF will come and collect it tomorrow and it'll be gone..".
Then I get another email. "Thanks for using P2G. You can now take your parcel to the drop off point". WHAT?!?!?! thirty five f*****g pounds and I have to now walk half a mile with a box sized 65x60x40 CM. I was so annoyed at the post office.
Any way, that ought to about do it. Have stuffed £90 aside from the £290 to pay for the import charges on the bike and paid £200 off my new TXP meaning I can have it Tuesday.

OMG. So this morning I was typing an email and all of a sudden the space bar stopped working. Tried unplugging/plugging back in etc but nope, gone. I am not surprised. It's a mech board with all blue switches and it cost £25 two years ago. Every other key seemed to work though.
So I got a USB membrane keyboard out of the cupboard. Dear god, it's gash. Seriously it's like poking your fingers into a chocolate mousse. I really can't wait for the switches to arrive (some one has given me a couple).
I actually have RSI in my fingers from shoving these plastic lumps into an almost endless chasm. Gone is light touch typing. I have to look at it and shove my finger in like I'm back at school with my first GF !

In future if you want to buy postage from parcel force I will get you a 40% off code. My student mate left his unidays I.d. On my phone and I have been using the discounts ever since

Currently in the process of getting everything ready to move down to Rothwell in Northamptonshire and holy ****, The estate agents are some of the dumbest people I have ever come across.
Nothing but stereotypical blonde women in the office who seem to have the collective IQ of an orange peel.
Everything has successfully gone through now but what a bunch of idiots.

Beginning of this year my car goes bang forcing me to sell my gaming rig to buy a new car. So I start saving for a new rig and the wife (who I'm not actually with anymore, but I'm hanging around because of my daughter) has her car go bang so all my savings go into repairing that in time for the family holiday. So here I am having just spent all my savings on her car and the holiday for her and my daughter's benefit (I hate the damn things) and her car just failed the MOT.
Oh, and the reason I can't just ditch her is because she has two serious mental health issues and can't work full time therefore can't support herself and by extension my daughter. If I try and take my daughter she'll probably just try and kill herself (I wish I was exaggerating).

Not to sound like a douche but this is why I do not bother with females in the relationship sense, I couldn't handle the constant headaches, I have girly friends I have "fun" with now and then but relationships are off the books.

You don't sound like a douche. Trust me, if I could go back seven years and tell myself to not bother with that relationship I felt I needed I would. The biggest mistake I ever made with my life was never fully accepting that I'm better off alone.

I need a holiday. First of all a small child managed to get into my office and push my pc off the end of the desk. Glass panel smashed. Fluid leaked from a fitting and went everywhere. After hours of clean up i lost 2 SSDs and my mobo. My cpu is ok and so it my GPU. My power supply was also ok. While i was doing the clean up i got a text i didnt notice until afterwards because i was too busy that my uncle has two weeks to live. That kind of put things into perspective FML

You don't sound like one. You're speaking more akin to how us millennials think nowadays. People don't care about realtionships, even the ones that are in it. Everybody cheating on everybody not caring and expecting to be cheated on. It's "normal" now.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm old fashioned despite my younger age. I'm lucky to have a girl that thinks like me.
But I do see where you are coming from. I used to feel that way until I got lucky.
My uncle Jeff has now hit 6 stone. He can't leave the hospice any more. Then I get a phone call to say my uncle Ray has prostate cancer and my mum's friend Val (who is like an aunt to me) may have ovarian cancer.
