I don't know about that. Actually the worst place when it comes to driving that I've been yet is France. In Paris, if a driver sees a pedestrian, he speeds up. And if it's an old lady or a mother pushing a stroller, he steps on it and burns some rubber! Well, that may be an exaggeration . . . but I seriously almost got run over at least 5 times!

Yeah... they do that here, too, especially if you look remotely like a uni student...
Y'argh! And that reminds me! Why are people so anti-student??? Blimmin' Police State...

Y'argh! Don't really want to share this with y'all, but since it's a venting thread.... !
I live in an apartment building, and the guy next door to me ( we have balconies ), smokes every 5 minutes (okay, a slight exageration - but this is not my problem... bear with me): but while he smokes, he has a bad habit of ...er, how to describle this? Hoicking! You know, where you choke up the phlegm in your throat and spit it out? Yech. Anyway, he does this all the time! All I can hear is Hoick! Hoick! sccccrrrrrmmmm Ptoiey! Hoick! Hoick! Spit! Bleh. Even when I am watching a movie, or my music is cranked up to drown out his hoicking, I can still hear him... Case in point, the other day, I was watching Moulin Rouge, and you know the end bit, the crucial end, where one of the characters dies (don't want to give it away, for those who haven't seen it yet), while this character was choking, and dying from consumption, and I swear to Eru, that Hoicky guy was hoicking in time with the character!!

I sense a lot of negative energy in this thread (of course since it's the venting thread). We must freshen it up a bit every now and again.
*opens vent and turns on industrial fan<woosh...hissss...gollum....meow...arf, arf...tisk, tisk...$#$#$%$@...mooo>* There, nice and cool. You may start venting again.

I hate it when people in hallways walk down the wrong side. RIGHT SIDE PEOPLE, RIGHT SIDE (I think)...or when they walk right next to each other when there is three or more, and refuse to move...GAH!
I hate how Ian McKellan didn't get best supporting actor, and tha EW wasn't even nominated for best actor!

I hate it when people sit on the stairs, especially when I'm trying to sweep them! And they have headphones on, so they don't hear when I ask them to move!!!
I hate it when there is a sort of a hierarchy of (sometimes or always) snotty people who think their are better than everyone! Like with birders, there's one guy who is sort of the most snotty, thinks he knows everything and nobody who knows less is worthy of birding with him, or even talking to him, then the people who complain about him can be just as bad sometimes!! And then it goes down in this whole hierarchy until me, and I'm at the bottom, which is really awful!!!!!!! Okay, sorry, just had to vent. But that's what the thread is for, isn't it?

GAHHHH! I couldn't watch the Oscars, and I was going to tape it, and then grrrrarfhgh, the tape didn't work, so now I can't watch them. But LOTR didn't win best pic anyhow...or best director..and Gandalf...uh..*cough* Sir Ian McKellan, I mean, didn't win either, though i think he should've. It still won four, though, so HUZZAH! for makeup and cinematography and for HOWARD SHORE!
Right. Just to add a lighter note. Who do you refer to, Eruviel? In the birding complex, I mean...mostly they're not all that bad. Heh. Um...yeah... -tano

Back to the subject. . . I hate it when I have to write an essay and it just isn't happening and so I come to entmoot and am happy until I realize I have a lot more writing to do. I hate having to sell notecards to people, especially when nobody seems to want to buy them from me. . .

I hate it when I finally fix a bug and it creates another bug somewhere else.
*999 posts is ok but it's almost as good as the next number of posts.

Congratulations, Arathorn, on your 999th, er, 1000th, or whatever, post. Wow, that's a lot of posts. . .
~I hate it when I can't figure out how to say what I want to say, especially during class discussions and such. ~I hate how long it takes to get anywhere on the bus (okay, it's not that bad, but it would be so much nicer if I could drive!)

A bit of politics
What I find somewhat surprising in the world of news today is the fact that communism is treated so lightly (especially in Sweden) and the fact (that term again) no one seems to remember Stalin and his exterminations of freedomslovers, jews and intellectuals (22 million sent to the death-camps of Siberia). Not to mention all the other communist-dictatorships in the world (Cambodia, Cuba, North-korea, China) and that people in those countries aren't/weren't allowed to say och print what they want/wanted. No, all everybody ever talks about Hitler, Hitler and nothing but Hitler and his croonies. Nazism was and is a horrid political monster, but communism isn't the least bit better.

I really hate it when you're sick and you have all this presure in your head and then you get about four hours of sleep, are perfectly miserable all day, and then feel guilty cause you didn't get any homework done. Yargh! I'm SICK for Eru's sake! I also am really annoyed, because I keep wanting to called Eruviel "Eru" to save my typing fingers, but I know that ain't right! Yargh, you, you have a bad username. *paperbaps Eruviel!* -tano
