Well, the steering wheel went ape**** and slipped out of my hands. Nearly soiled myself.Goddamn slow leak.

Flat tires are a drag, especially when you're not aware of them and you lose control like that. I had a tire pop on me once when I was working as a forklift driver. Luckily I wasn't carrying anything on my forks and I was in the middle of a loading square so nobody was injured, still it's so unexpected.

Anyways I hate texting buddies who freak out if you go 15 minutes without responding to their texts. How am I suppose to respond to a text that says "OK cool"? Now I'm being assaulted by text messages every hour it seems. I think the only logical answer is to change my phone number.

I hate people who are compulsive texters and they expect everyone to text back in 3 minutes or less. I'm notorious for only checking my phone about 5 times per day. The rest of the time it's on silent. Plus we aren't even allowed to have cell phones in our office, so people have gotten used to not hearing back from me.

Whats more annoying than that though is recieving a text from someone, immediately replying to it and then having to wait hours or a day or so to get a reply to it. I know they got it because i'm a fast texter. I know their phone was in their hand just seconds earlier. It's especially annoying when the conversation goes something like this.

Some person: "Hi. So, still want to go out tomorrow?"

Me: "Sure, what time?"

(Silence until the next day.)

Some person: ""In about an hour?"

This kind of thing or something similar happened to me a few times over the last few weeks. The kind of thing where I make plans a few days previously and because THEY asked rather than the other way around, text to confirm and then get nothing. I hate it because i find myself constantly on edge if I can't plan my day and know what it is i'm doing.

^I hate that so much too. But I'm pretty guilty of it too

God dammit when I turn off the last.fm scrobbler I expect it to stay off till I turn it on again! Now everyone will know I've listened to Radiohead 140 times this week (I've been listening to Kid A in my sleep).

Why are you ashamed of listening to Radiohead? Kid A is tremendous

My comment was an experiment. You see I have this theory that Radiohead fans have adopted a spider-sense of sorts when it comes to their Herculean supermen band that is Radiohead. This 6th sense allows follows to pick up on the negative energy that is aimed towards their lord and saviors and thus allows them to punish the heretics.

OK I'll stop taking the piss, my beef comes from 140 plays of something I wasn't even conscious enough to enjoy. It also screws with my recommendations.

I'm bitching because I don't have a ****ing car. Theres nothing worse than the feeling after the initial euphoria of passing your test that your still never going to ****ing drive.
