The Frustration Thread

Ok, so often threads are going down the toilet with members getting personal and off topic.

So this thread is meant for you to post your frustrations in instead. No personal attacks on other forum members, no vulgar language, just a place for your fingers to vent off that your mind is thinking in the heat of the moment.

I'll start it off...

I hate the "F" button on my keyboard. Why is it where it is? It should be where the "K" button is!
And why am I limited to 3 smileys in my posts when I want to use 500000056325327?

:p : :D

I am frustrated that I can't sleep.

I am frustrated doctors give me crappy pills that don't work and refuse to prescribe something new for 4 months.
It also helps that the pills aren't subsidized.

I'm frustrated that News Corp which accounts for 70% of newspaper circulations in this country, owns half of Foxtel and via Sky News ran the three leaders debates, basically is dictating to the Australian public how they should vote.

Agreed, I cannot sleep in once I have had booze.

I can sleep; it's just that it does not give me restful sleep due to the glutamine rebound. It also makes me wake up anxious. If insomnia is a serious problem I have two pieces of advice; get a sleep coach; only take sleep medication 3 times a week. Unless it is a heavy sedative that will make you dim witted, and bring on early dementia sleep medications don't work if you take them every night. Pick the nights that you really need sleep. You can go through the day on much less than you think. I know it's frustrating.

I am frustrated, when I am a bit lazy and don't get some things done immediately I could do - instead postpone them till "unknown future". :o

Oh, and I am frustrated, when people disappear!

I load 15€ into my Apple-ID, to purchase an app on the ipad

"As this is your first purchase on this device" (not true!) "you need to confirm your account"

I enter my ID and password

"As this is your bla bla, you need to answer some security questions"

"What model was your first car" -> I tried all variants
"Where did you first go to the beach" -> whatever

-> FAIL
"after three fails, your ID will be deactivated"

I try and purchase it on the PC instead -> "As this is your bla bla, you need to answer some security questions" -> FAIL

I confirm the account via email and try again -> FAIL

I enter my ID to reset the security questions -> you have to answer the security questions to be able to reset the security questions :mad:

Finally I try calling the service desk -> closed til Monday


I'm beginning to hate Apple with a passion again :vader:

Bunch of donkeys :dozey:

I'm mildly frustrated that the "smart TV" that I bought last Christmas really isn't smart at all. It's just as dumb as the 12 or 13 year old set that it replaced. It just has a much better picture. So that way, I can count the fever blisters on Paris Hilton's face when she doesn't take her herpes meds or I can accurately estimate how many inches of makeup is packed onto Kim Kardashian's face. But the TV itself is NOT smart. The only thing that makes it somewhat smart has nothing to do with the set, but it is the TiVo unit hooked up to it... and it's not all that smart either. I have to load keywords in it or set up season passes to get it to record shows that I might like. And since DirecTV won't let us have the really good, increasingly smart TiVo units, we're forced to be content with the less capable, "dumb" TiVos. The way I see it, a TV that just has a few built-in apps, 3D and HD, a sleep timer and the ability to adjust the sound down when commercials come on (and whatever other features this thing has) is not smart. And this is a top of the line set. So the rest are just as dumb as this thing. A dumb set that displays dumb programming. Yeah, that's a source of frustration.

Also, I don't see anything "smart" about smartphones... not yet anyway. Most won't do anything that I can't do by combining my 3-4 year old iPod Touch and my 10 year old "dumb phone". Big whoop!

And my guess is, these so called "smart watches" that will soon be coming out won't be (truly) smart either. Just more gadgets that will do very little on their own and can't learn... which is my definition of smart.

I have had a case of tendonitis in the heel and foot arch for a few weeks, which has stopped me playing football which is really pissing me off.

I was taking Ibuprofen and had a reaction to them, so changed tablets. Now I have a tooth infection which has stopped me taking my medication, so now my foot is getting worse again.

Bloody life.

Unless I've had a lot to drink, I won't be able to fall asleep at all.

I'll cut down on the meds, they only worked for the first 10 days so you're probably right. But that was the best sleep I've had in years.
The problem isn't that I can't get through the day, I can. The problem is that sleeping 2-4 hours a night isn't manageable. I feel and look like terrible, I have no concentration. I've been asked more than once if I were high, understandably so.

And what exactly is a sleep coach?

A Behavioral Sleep Medicine Specialist is one with specialized training and expertise in sleep medicine, behavioral health and methods of behavior change. As such, the BSM specialist has expertise in differential diagnosis of sleep and health (psychological and physiological) conditions. The BSM specialist utilizes this expertise along with expertise in behavior change to develop evidence-based treatment plans for those with sleep disorders and co-existing health conditions.

Or more simply it is a PhD, or MD that applies cognitive behavioral therapy to insomnia, and its underlying causes (which may be genetic). You may have to deal with it on an ongoing basis, but take action, if not treated it generally gets worse as you get older.
It's really frustrating bro!

I find it frustrating that Shakira's bodyguards are so professional. All I ask for is one of them to make one mistake and my basement sound-proofing hasn't been a waste of time!

Hate this word. I've noticed that in my country ''she's a frustrated'' is the label that vulgar uneducated girls use to apply on the girls that make them feel their inferiority. They delude themselves by thinking that in fact they are the happy perfect ones and the others are simply envious. Ironically they can't even define frustration.
Now you understand why I can't express my frustrations. It would be like I agree with such low points of view.

I don't know if they sell herbal medicines where you live, but you might try motherwort (herba leonuris). It does the business. Perfectly safe and no side effects.

I am frustrated I don't get paid by the people who owe me lots of money.

I am frustrated that I haven't figured out a way to grow younger. :confused:

I'm frustrated I can't manipulate people in doing everything I want.

Does anyone else get frustrated with waiting for dumb woman drivers to realise the traffic lights have turned green while they do their make-up in their rear view mirrors :angrymaledriver:

Mostly, being an amateur misogynist, I am frustrated by folk on the pavement who aim for you, despite every attempt you make - having planned the best path several steps in advance - to avoid them.

I MEAN %$*! OFF ALREADY!

No, this falls under the category of 'acceptable behavior' and just makes me smile knowingly, that, actually, they cannot multitask!

No, but I get frustrated waiting for guys who get so absorbed in looking for stuff up their noses in the rear vision mirror that they don't realise the lights have turned green.

Touché!

I get really frustrated with people who tap away on their phones in crowded places and don't friggin' look where they're going as if it is all the other people's responsibility to get out of their paths. :hmph:

I can agree with that one for sure. The other day biking I almost took someone out on a path as the guy never realized I was approaching and was on the phone with headphones. The path was level with nothing blocking our sight, so I had seen him from easily 70-80 yards away.

...when the cable to my front derailer snaps halfway to work, and I have to pedal the rest of the way (and back home) in the lowest gear.

It could be worse. I worked until seven yesterday and found this waiting for me:

I went to a restaurant in my building and ate dinner waiting for the storm to stop. It did around nine and thanks to the fenders on the bike I got home nice and dry.

Even a crappy dinner and delay from work should be better than finding a bent up bike. :)
