OK, Kerygmaniacs, the challenge has been set before us. They think they can lob the TICTH thread our way and get away without some good old-fashioned Bible schoolin'? Let's proof-text and verse them right out of here.
For starters:
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:15)
Who else has one?

From Saint Cyprian, Treatise 2, riffing on Matthew 5:36:
quote:
Your Lord says, "You can not make one hair white or black;" and you, in order to overcome the word of your Lord, will be more mighty than He, and stain your hair with a daring endeavor and with profane contempt, and, in an ominous foreboding of your future, already begin to make your hair the color of flames.

SAAS (the people who administer student finance in Scotland.)
We filled out the form for our son last summer, giving my husband's income exactly and an honest stab at mine. Husband's income alone means that son will get the minimum, so we didn't think mine mattered too much.
It was bounced, on the basis I had under-reported my income. Never mind that under-reporting mine made bugger-all difference to the outcome. I did mine properly, and they were right - I'd missed out £36 I'd been paid for invigilating an exam. We resubmitted.
They bounced it again - I had no documentation to cover £96 I'd been paid cash-in-hand. They suggested a letter "from my accountant" on "headed paper". I'm a PhD student - I don't have an accountant. And it'll make no difference anyway. Regardless of what I earn, they can't award less than the minimum. They have agreed I don't need to source an accountant to check my finances and confirm the £96 cash-in-hand.
Now they've said they need to see my last tax return before confirming that they'll give my son a minimum award.
It's February. We knew last August that our son would get minimum award. They knew last August that they'd be giving our son the minimum award. They have even confirmed to us that none of my documentation will make the slightest difference to the final award "but that doesn't mean that we don't still have to see it. "

T-bloomin'-Mobile.
Costing me a mini-fortune in time and money trying to sort them out.
Almost thirty years I've been a customer. Eventually got conned into changing from pay as you go to contract sim. Great, except when the phone and the sim go through the wash and die. Sorry, Madam, you're tied into a contract. You will have to pay over £100 to buy yourself out.
As you're a valued customer (yeah, right!) we'll reduce your contract from £10 a month (on a non-existant sim that I can't use) to £5 a month (likewise) and can buy a new phone and new sim and transfer it.
Instead, after a couple of months of being unable to find the right phone at the right price, I decide that I need a contract phone instead of a contract sim because of my new job. I contact them about it and, hey, when they changed the £10 contract to a £5 contract on the non-existant SIM, they recommenced the 24 month contract and if I want to break that contract I'll now have to pay £150 penalty! I can't change it to a phone contract. So I'm paying them a bloody fortune for a non-existant phone and will have to continue to do so for two bloody years!
After hours of debate they agree to cancel the contract phone I'd ordered before trying to cancel the sim, and to transfer the payment towards another contract phone. Great, I said. (Why couldn't you just have done that in the first place?) The phone won't come until after the weekend, they said, and I will be charged the same price as a contract phone. Great, I said. Now I contact them to see why my phone hasn't arrived, a fortnight later. "You cancelled your order" they reply. I did BUT ON THE PROMISE OF A CONTRACT WHICH INCLUDED ANOTHER PHONE. "No, we never said that".
![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)
So what do I have? I have a contract on a dead SIM for what turns out still to be £10 a month or £150 to finish it. A fortnight without my new phone, which I can't really afford while I'm paying for a dead SIM. And now no agreement to transfer the SIM contract to a phone contract which took me over two hours to negotiate last time.
Valued customer, my backside!

TICTH the insurance company that holds my annuity. It is supposed to issue a payment on the 15th of every month -- which arrives at the bank the next day but isn't credited to my account until the following day.
If the 15th falls on a Friday, it arrives Monday and is credited Tuesday.
If Monday happens to be a holiday (as it is over here next week -- Presidents Day), it arrives Tuesday and is credited Wednesday.
Thus I, a retiree living on a fixed income, have to wait five days past the due date for money I desperately need. Thank God for credit cards.

I can't decide if this goes here or in the prayer thread. (amazing how much overlap is possible) I have GRR and "oh help" in equal order.
septic system has been down for about a month. it's evil. A great plumber has been working on it for two days. seems my heat tape failed and the whole thing has been frozen solid. he's gotten a lot thawed, but in the process the toilet seal failed and is oozing poop soup onto my floor. awesome. when it froze up the toilet backed up - a whole bowl full of the grodiest stuff ever. now slowly oozing out onto the floor.
of course.
last night it snowed again. actually, it's still snowing. I have a foot of heavy, soggy stuff in my driveway. Got stuck getting the boys to school. to get the plumber HERE I need to do about an hour's shoveling. I should leave to work in about two hours.
The plumber called. get this. for him to go further, he needs to remove the toilet. which means I am now tasked with somehow getting all of the ... stuff... out of the toilet bowl. before I go to work. which will likely require a shower (hazmat gear?) assuming I even manage to figure out how to do that. and get the driveway shoveled. and get to work. somehow.
I can't even begin to tell you all how much I dread what I am about to do.
I've told the boys, we're going back to outdoor plumbing. so much more civilized. this is horrific. revolting. and thankfully there will be no video footage of what I am about to attempt.
So, when youre going about your day, and things seem challenging, close your eyes for a moment and picture me bailing and siphoning liquified shit, retching and swearing and generally making a complete disaster of things. meanwhile outside, the snow is coming down, down, down. picture the look on my face, the creative language I'm using. picture poo flying everywhere and the dogs cowering in fear.
picture all that. then sit back, and SMILE. I'm just here to serve as a source of entertainment. Hey, no problem. I'm here for ya.
and if you are of a generous spirit, pray for me. 'cause what I am about to do will likely require therapy to get over.

TICTH utility providers who send letters saying "We provide a variety of times and appointments to suit you. We understand you might be out when we need to inspect our meters."
Do you hell as like. You have exactly two weeks worth of appointments available, with no more exact timings of 8-1 and 1-6, weekdays only. Which is a fat lot of use to someone who live on their own, and works weekdays, being out from 7.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. I offered Saturdays, and the possibility of being available from 4.00 - 6.00 on three of the weekday evenings over the next four weeks, (thereby only losing half a day's pay, not a full day) and any time next week, the last week of March and the first week of April, but that wasn't good enough.
Oh, and there are threats of legal proceedings if I don't make and keep an appointment.
So, when your children grumble about school staff being missing, and you complain about how uncommitted school staff are, and how dare they take a day off in term time, just remember you were the one who insisted I take that time out.

This evening, we had tickets to a BBC recording. We allowed more than enough time to get into central London, but due to the thousands of brainless fucking morons who descend on the area to get excited about 22 men chasing a bit of leather around a piece of grass, the traffic was gridlocked and all the buses were full so we arrived too late to be allowed in.

No, I just don't have time for someone whining about something that has been done for about a century now, and that millions of people enjoy, when it periodically inconveniences them. Next time, look when matches are being played and allow even more time. Fixture lists are readily available and are not state secrets!
I don't mov to where my clients are. I go to them, then travel back to my home.

TICTH the word random. Why is everything now fucking random? “Look at his hat, it’s sooooo random”. No it’s bloody not it’s just unusual. The person selected it at the shop and selected it to wear today. Nothing random about that process at all is there. Stop using the word until you know what it means you fucking plumb.

TICTH being the responsible one. Doing the right and mature things. Being there when the irresponsible actual parent mucks it up. And, catching Hell for a situation which would not exist if the selfish bitch of a mother had not created it.
The fucked up psychology that makes a child idolise a fucked up parent is all the proof I need there is no fucking god.

In the hacker circles I moved in during college 40 years ago, Random was not a new word. In fact I lived in a dormitory called Random Hall. (A certain publishing company didn't allow it to be called "House".
When someone says a hat is random, to me it means the wearer chose it by picking it from a box without looking.

How precious. NOT.
Me, I just wish people would remember that I am away and write me a chatty note from time to time, especially with the latest gossip.

TICTH my fucked up vertebrae and the fact that one slightly awkward movement has left me in a lot of pain and unable to move from my computer chair. Well, at least I've got the Ship to keep me entertained until the drugs kick in. I hope the drugs kick in... ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

TICTH this morning's van driver who followed me, on my bike, the length of a residential street, right up against my back wheel, leaning on his horn and revving his engine.
Cars were parked down the full length of both sides of the street. I was acting as advised by the Highway Code and cycle training:
Rule 67... Leave plenty of room when passing parked vehicles and watch out for doors being opened or pedestrians stepping into your path...
I was also fully aware you were there. There was no room for you to overtake me, as the space down the middle of the road is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. There was no gap in the parked cars for me to pull over and let you past. as soon as a gap did appear, I signalled and pulled into it.
You risked my life, disturbed the peace of a residential area early on a Sunday morning (I was going to Keen People Early Mass with Extra Latin - this was about half 7 this morning), and broke several rules of the road. For you to then wind down the window and swear at me was completely unnecessary.
(here's the Google streetview but this has more gaps in the parked cars than there was this morning).

TICTH Airlines that schedule international flights at times that aren't convenient for either departure or arrival unless you live in a megacity.
I live in a decent sized city, not the middle of nowhere, and my Californian friends aren't exactly in a wilderness area either. So why would you make me leave home before 6am my time to get there, and make them leave home about 4am their time to pick me up?

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