TICTH the fucked up medical and pharmaceutical system in the US that has me seriously considering buying illegal meds from other countries. Something I know plenty of people do, but I've shied away from 'cause consequences. Now I'm looking. I know we're supposedly fixing it all but not soon enough, and not the stranglehold the drug companies have on the country. But dammit, I cant function without some help, so I may have to take some big risks. And it royally pisses me off. You all want me to be a productive member of society? Pay my fair share? Pull up my own fucking bootstraps? The meds mean I CAN! No meds mean I cant. Fuck you guys for forcing me into this!

The "English spoken here" thread in AS is a fertile ground for these. Mostly the tone is a world-weary "Oh no, not Arriva/First Great Western/South Eastern Trains (or whatever) again". Then there's bitching about overcrowded roads and the price of fuel (typically £1.40 a litre).

Which brings me to CTH people who can't get it through their heads that certain forms of attention-getting don't make people more likely to notice, but rather highly unlikely.
Among these I number not only the subway vendors, but people who put throwaways (that's exactly what they are) under the windshield wipers of parked cars, and people who attempt to hand you things on the street.
Not to mention TV commercials for products, the decision to use which, should not be in the hands of the consumer in the first place (i.e., prescription medications).

TICTH - people who are so class-obsessed they blame anything and everything on class discrimination.
At a bereavement group I've just been told that it the death of my other-half just before A levels was "easier for your children because you're middle-class" : WTF is that about?
When I tried to challenge I was told that "middle-class people like you don't feel emotions the way we do because we're always being discriminated against".
Great: if you're middle-class you have no feelings and life is just one long breeze - like an Anna Neagle & Michael Wilding movie no doubt.

Yep, that's the new thinking. From Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor,
"A wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

If by "new thinking" you mean "something she said over a decade ago, before she was appointed to the Supreme Court", sure.
Self-serving bias is perhaps the definition of "old thinking", isn't it? I mean, it is 99% of the foundation of patriotism and religion.

TICTH my MiL. I was contemplating matricide, but have decided to downgrade to "lock in closet in Siberia for 100years and feed only bread and water".
Interfering old bat. Recent interference meant a small boy (2yrs old) crying himself to sleep (TWO HOURS OF TEARS!) because his favorite toy has been mislaid - MiL felt it incumbent on her to come into our house and tidy his room. Can she remember where she put the toy in question? No. Can I find it, after an hour of searching? Right back at you with the No. Is it heartbreaking listening to a little boy sobbing his heart out because of missing toy? Yes. Poor kid thinks his world has ended. It's an expensive replica of a piece of his Daddy's heavy machinery, so I've not duplicated it - I just leave it in the same place all the time, so we know where it is.
AND she dares tell me he's "undisciplined". What manner of idiot takes said 2yr old to a wedding, expects him to sit still and quiet, when he's missed his nap (makes him hyper) and been fed stupid amounts of wedding cake (= sugar high on top of the hyper and overtired). No, MiL, YOU made a series of bad decisions. Don't even start on me about my parenting skills. Could he be better at sitting still - sure. Did you impose a set of unreasonable expectations on him - yes.
I'm still so angry with her. She'd better stay the hell out of my way until I've got a better grip on my temper...

When you find it (pray God its soon) can I make a suggestion?
After the first 24 hours when he'll refuse to part with it, talk to him about THE TOY having a place to hide and then the next time when MiL comes go with him to help THE TOY into its hiding place.
If its a replica of something to do with her beloved son's work has she put it in his home office (or garage or shed) - somewhere she would associated in her mind with "masculine" things? Just a thought...

If by "self-serving bias" you mean a bias against racist, sexist thinking, that says certain ethnic groups, economic groups or genders have the monopoly on compassion and sensitivity then, yes, I'm biased. I imagine the reason she cut out that kind of line from her public speech is because, during the SC nomination, she finally got called on them. I can't see the "self-serving," part though; I'm not a rich, old, white man.

The decision to use prescription medications or not should always be in the hands of the consumer, one would just hope that the consumers' decision was based on medical advice and informed research of the evidence base not on television advertisements.

TICTH boss who gives me make-work nonchargeable-time assignments in the library, and then, once I am down sitting on the floor working in a tiny little aisle about 2 feet wide, decides to walk DOWN the freakin' tiny aisle toward me (over me?) to get to something ten feet past me. Which he could easily have accessed by going down a parallel aisle and crossing over. But no, it was more fun to make me struggle to my feet, back up seven feet, step into the adjoining aisle, circle the whole bloody unit, and return to my original position. Because already-standing bosses shouldn't have to back up two count-em feet.

I could say something about people who shop at 6pm on a payday, which is probably when shop staff have gone shopping. But that would be wrong.

If they want to open between 9am and 5pm then I'll shop between 9am and 5pm. But if they advertise themselves as being open before and after standard business hours it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to deduce that those people working 'normal' hours will avail themselves of the ability to go into the supermarket on the way from work.
I could say something about people who haven't noticed that the supermarkets are far busier at that time of day than they are in the middle of the day. But that would be wrong.

TICTH the senior manager cunt at work who has refused to even consider my grievance about the lack of support at work because it was only for a short period. Three months of being made to feel so depressed and anxious I can hardly leave the house and been signed off sick doesn't feel like a short period to me. He wants to 'move on' apparently. I just want to feel safe going to work. The cunting fuckpig clearly has no concept of what it is to try to work with a mental illness and with absolutely no support at all despite desperately begging other managers for help. What the fuck do they want from me?

No prophet, I can understand your hellishness regarding complainers on that subject and fully empathise with those of us who are slower mentally or physically and cannot work as fast as some others. What do we achieve by being 'first'? Like with driving, the fast ones are just the first at the head of the next queue!
However, if we know that we are a little slower, we can prepare by getting our coins or notes or cards ready in our pockets, rather than leaving the whole tedious process to the last minute when the shopping (for example) is all packed away. The 'in and out of shopping bag, handbag and purse' scenario is one which I have seen repeated squillions of times and can easily be avoided.
I have even managed to train my mother to 'be prepared' and she loves being able to metaphorically stick up a finger at those behind her who think she is going to be slow! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) She was 83 last week and physically as fit as the average 60 year old.

Sorry, telling them to "get ready" doesn't cut it. We're talking shopping cart, mittens or gloves, hat, groceries, wallet or purse. You are required to put your own groceries up on the conveyor, then move the cart to where they may bag your groceries, and you're supposed to rush to the payment station, manage all the crap you're carrying? I'm an able bodied middle aged person and I have to hurry. And I have kept people waiting myself.
No. The impatient ones need to be told off. And I do. Like this: make eye contact, ask "are you having a bad day?". This either results in shutting up or I get a positive reaction. I have been told off in such circumstances, and that's when others get aggressive against Ms or Mr tight-panties.
Is there a Christian way to wait in a payment queue at a store? Dunno. But I know about the bastarddevilish one which is intolerant of humans.

You can all go and drop off the edge of your flat earth. I can not multi task right now and no amount of training, tutting, sighing or helpful conversations will help ANY of us.
So STFU and get over yourselves. Try smiling, or heavens above talking amongst yourselves. Who knows you might learn something.

TICTH the program coordinator who clearly yearns to manage a bunch of managers who've been doing just fine for months and months with no supervisor. We meet. We bring up our issues. We decide together how to handle them. We tell Upper Management what we decided. We implement. Result? We're all meeting budget targets, ISPs & monthly reports are in on time, staff discipline issues & incident reports have decreased, and client compliance has increased. Nothing's gone wrong in a donkey's age aside from the normal difficulties posed by clients who have MMIs.
You, Madam Supe Wannabe, OTOH, with your total of 3 entire months' experience with the agency, not to mention responsibility for overseeing only financial & budgetary matters and no client-related issues, can damn well stop trying to "train" me by ordering me to comply with your directions which directly conflict with long-standing & highly-effective agency policies and by fucking ordering me to read a "new employees' agency training manual which I fucking wrote the year I joined the agency.
You can also stop fucking calling me on the one Sunday afternoon I've had off this month.
Asshole.

TICTH my brother-in-law. His 86-year-old mother asked him to pick up a torch battery in case she has a power cut during the storm (which is apparently heading directly for her). He decided that they were too expensive, so just didn't.
She will now have to rely on a candle to go up and down steps if she needs to go to the bathroom and has no electricity.
He is far from poor, but it wasn't even his money that he was refusing to spend.
I could mention him putting 15 Watt bulbs in his sons' bedside lamps too, but I won't because it makes me too angry.

When I click on a news article I don't want a bloody video clip. I know how to read. And I'm not in a position to download bandwidth-eating megabytes, or to plug in earphones. I just want to read the sodding article. If I wanted to watch television I'd be doing so.
And the same is true of online recipes and other things. I don't want a bloated video tutorial with an annoying commentator that I have to sit through for several minutes and have to replay to make notes from or fast-forward through the useless bits of. I just want something simple I can print for handy reference. Is that really asking so much?

Yeah, great, thanks Pyx_e. For a video not viewable in most countries. Although I think I've seen it on television anyway.
But enough with the giraffes. I've been thinking lately that this TICTH thread has been living for far too long. Maybe it's about time I closed it and forced you all to generate a proper thread about whatever thing is pissing you off, instead of piling it all up here.

At first glimpse, the idea of fighting by flailing their tiny heads at each other with their ponderous necks seems idiotic. But then you realize it's actually punk.
I suspect we need to check our Hellhost Benefits package to see if we cover gouged-out eye sockets.

Youtube took so long to load I had lunch instead. I'll save the eye-gouging for retaliation.

30 seconds of whacking each other with their heads then walking slowly side by side, presumably until minor concussion, headache and dizziness wear off, then repeat until one drops down dead/they have circled Africa.
How utterly dim. Why don't they just bite each other, or give each other a good swift kick? Or bribe a lion to lie in wait, or take out a Facebook page and unfriend each other, or something?

But enough with the giraffes. I've been thinking lately that this TICTH thread has been living for far too long. Maybe it's about time I closed it and forced you all to generate a proper thread about whatever thing is pissing you off, instead of piling it all up here.
I'm with you, dude. Listen, when the queen of tangents is saying, "Hey, the tangents are getting out of hand..."

Well then, TICTH idiots who won't let it go, despite numerous warnings and kill a thread for everyone else.
Yeah, I suppose this includes me, so fuck it. This is why we can't have nice things.

Right, cue the trumpeter.
What do you mean, he's quit and left the trumpet behind on the grounds that it's a piece of shit? We paid good money for that on eBay.
Well get someone else to blow it.
Well, YOU blow it.
Prrrrp. Flghhl. Zhrrrr.
Oh forget it. FORGET it. ENOUGH!
Right. Hand me the scroll.
I gave you the scroll. I needed both hands to lug this fucking lyre up here.
Because this jacket doesn't have any fucking pockets, okay? Just hand me the fucking scroll.
Tomatoes. Pumpkin. Aspar...
What the fuck is this? This is your fucking grocery list! Where's the fucking SPEECH?!?
Right.
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
Whereas this thread is now almost a year old, and it is not good for threads to have birthdays.
And whereas the original post that I wrote referencing pomegranates, and an unknown number of following posts, will randomly disappear from view, we know not whence they have gone (your guess is as good as ours).
And whereas the thread is showing other signs of ill health latterly including an infestation of giraffes.
Therefore the Regents of Hell declare as follows:
That the thread known as "TICTH (Special Edition)" shall henceforth be closed.
That Shipmates shall henceforth be encouraged to create new and separate threads to detail their greivances, rather than merely preceding them with a 5-letter acronym (although frankly there's nothing to stop you from using this acronym elsewhere if it makes you feel better).
That the deaths from mental exhaustion that will arise due to Shipmates being unused to composing opening posts are thoroughly acceptable. If you're looking for regret you've come to the wrong place.
BE IT SO ORDERED

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.
