pissed off...
By wacky_baby •
Have you not found yourself wanting to cuss the slow Starbucks barista, or pound your fist when the internet is down, or glare at the driver who cut your line? Why are we so impatient, angry, and hostile? With the grind of the economy and the pressure to stay afloat, not to mention the hot summer sun, it’s safe to say most of us have a shorter fuse these days. As goes the Zen proverb, “Avoid one moment of anger, and you will avoid 100 days of sorrow."
jibo... it's spelled rubbish...double b...get a spell check

:) peace
lol 220v...i mean 110v...i think you've been out in the sun for too long... getting a sunstroke eh? ;)
sho shad... :)
will invite you for a cup of coffee with me, though i dont drink coffee, tea, alchohol.... :(
for that I need to be steped down, which is usually useless in a place like this.
I am fine as 220v.
I'm not really fond of tattoos unless it's like one of urs which obviously looks gud only on u.
I even like the 1s done by the side of the lower front,, beside the belly point,, soo adorable!!!
with a half sleeved (not sleevless) t-shirt ,, short enough and the jeans low enough with a big buckle.
i think it's ho'
the weather 2 ,, aarghhh"@&$
well you have been demoted to 110v lol :P
go to your corner and have that "screw" inked on you
"scram" kewl!! how abt turning the last to letters upside down
"screw"
oops!!
actually 220v...they commonly do it on the lower back with the word "scram" written :P
ok every one ,foucus on the actual topic.
btw where do u get those sox like tattoos for hands,, the fake once,,,,
do they have'em for "lower backs" with "pissed off" written
oops,,, :)
trampstamp... you can't make this stuff up...
but no trampstamps ;)
did u get yourself a tattoo also? :)
I used to moonlight as a receptionist/front of house for a tattoo studio in the States when I was in college. That's what the tatt is called. We did hundreds of 'em until they fell out of favour. Most girls treat tattoos the way they do bags. It was LV for a long while and none could tell you precisely why. Same with the trampstamp, every girl had to have one. Then a few years later they'd come for a full backpiece that would cover up the trampstamp so business was great :)
trampstamp eh, crap? how informative...
IT'S CALLED A TRAMPSTAMP KTHNXBYE :D
It used to be a de rigeur tattoo for girls a few years back. Today it's up there with spinners and diamond encrusted mouthpieces or "grills", as an emblem of fashion of a time already past :D
don't you know how to distinguish a lower back from butt? you need eyeglasses or you don't have an idea
is that your butt?
oops...
thanks sandeep ;)
I have always had a short fuse so can't blame it on Qatar Wacky and yes your tattoo looks fine.

thanks pajju :)
but i guess people like verisi get's "ticked off" by it as he said. makes me smile lol
wacky i really like ur tattoo :)
verisi...you got a problem with my avatar?
i want to go TAXI hotel now :)
that explains the 'this guy is not allowed to shop at FFC' poster
Next time... let me know... I have 'influence' in FFC ;-) LOL!!
I did have a go at the two guys.. Obviously the serving person heard and saw this. Then this lady pushed in also and that was the final straw..
you weren't men enuff to have a go at the people who were barging in so u had a go at the poor lady at the counter... tsk tsk...
I was in the queue for some food and people kept pushing in front. After the third person, I asked why she kept serving others when I had been waiting the longest.. She said "No problem sir".. That pissed me off..
Very bad of me ..
what are you talking about?
I had a go at the lady at FFC today.. Felt really bad afterwards :(
by people who have their butts photographed and put on as an avatar... how rude is that?!?!
"forgive and forget"
Getting angry ends up with no result ,, it's main cause of mess ,, and gradually a disaster.

i really do have a short fuse these days...i used to be very understanding and very patient but now even the slightest things agitate me. i just can't take it when someone is so slow to do things or to understand. like you were explaining for 30 mins and all you get is a dumb look or expression and you just wanted to screaaaaaaam! whew! must be the weather lol
agree but I am so sick of everyone feeling sorry and making excuses for these people. The weh-weh crap (no offense) of how unfortunate they are etc seems to make it ok to do a poor job. This is not just here it is everywhere. It's like the minimum wage BS in the states, now the adults will never leave their menial jobs because they keep getting raises from the liberals. Now the kids have no where to work because these wankers don't care and will never improve themselves.
I don't think we need to do anything in the name of God, he's a big boy and can take of himself.
That's simply impossible mate. While fast food joint service people here (and I count Starsucks and similar as the same, same pay, same product more or less) get paid more or at least as much compared to their colleagues in the USA, this is not exactly fertile ground for such labour, hence all these people have visas, tickets, and other stuff that the employer had to sort out, so replacing them isn't as simple as hanging a "now hiring" sign. I would presume these lamers are fully aware of the situation and will continue to exploit it. Short of writing letters that no one will read, the only option is to voice your discontent on the internet, or to boycott places with bad service altogether...
good service when I go to a counter to purchase or pay for something and not have too wait for some dullard ignoring me while he/she talks on the cell phone or yacks with another employee or friend, I also expect some courtesy from other drivers. I think we have become so complacent with crap service and so politically correct that our standards have been lowered to the bottom of the barrel. I don't think anyone's country of origin or financial status gives them the right to be ignorant or disrespectful. If you aren't smart enough to use a cash register or understand what the customer wants then get a different job. Maybe if a few more people got pi$$ed off and said something the crap would stop.
I don't think we need to do anything in the name of God, he's a big boy and can take of himself.
Starbucks sucks hard here. The menu is a far cry from it's US counterpart. Even there, I never went to Star*ucks, they're a bunch of zionist rascals and their product is decidedly subpar.
I go to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, the product is identical to what I was used to in the States, and so are the prices, the ambiance is incomparably better as well.
I never get mad when the internet goes down because I am not paying a penny for it ;)
I don't drive here either, well I haven't yet. If I did I would probably infuriate some with my kind behaviour...
i think they're trying to keep in sync with today's fast moving life
wonder what triggers the temper problem 'these days' ..
is it really the sun, humidity, ramadan or.. things like..
interviews in march, outcomes in december
blocked toilet/broken a/c, solution: new house
4x4 cars, feeling of ownership of roads
etc etc
its very east to point out things about any matter as we feel everything shd go perfectly but never realise how perfect we are!!!
....away from home....from family.....and then mixed kind of experiences (sometimes nice, sometimes racist, sometimes exploited), terrible traffic. Together, can turn any normal person into a synnical or pessimist one. When we behave bad with someone...its because of the frustration and nothing else...(em talking about the expatriaates only)
And then....last but not the least...we are fasting.
PS: PM & CBD....you two look into hijacking mood today .... lolz

yeah, traffic is bad and will get even worse till after eid.
I will keep an eye for the movie and let you know ;)
Too much traffic, especially if I don't know if I'll find what I am looking for -- lol
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
Certainly will. you mean if i know a shop that sells it?
I am trying to find it so if you see it locally let me know.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
no i have not seen it, just u-tubed it, should be good if richard Gere is in it :)
You really need to watch that movie -- as soon as Ramadan is over if you don't watch movies during.
BTW, did you see The Hunting Party? Great film about the hunt for a Serbian war criminal that was subverted by parties within the NATO forces. True story but also a funny movie. :-)
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
Hello PM, likewise!
Ramadan Kareem and May God bless you. How have you been?
I remember you each time i see the nixon frost dvd in my room which I am yet to see lol
So nice to see you back!
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
patience and ability to supress anger is great but this is not to say anger is bad. Yes we get angry and blow things out of proportion, but it is justified most of the time. A driver who cut my line, could kill me and showing him/her how angry you are make ppl think next time before they do something stupid.
Are you forgetting the fasting and furious driver during Iftar, always in a mad rush to get home for dinner. They are worst and dangerous.
