That Moment...

Been there, done that. The single worst thing I have ever smelled in my life, bar none. I'm old now, I like my washlet.

 

That moment when the colour scheme for your christmas tree is rainbow, like it is every year, because that's what happens when you put a hippy in charge of the decorations.

 

I held a pot of pasta in one hand and the colander in the other, by the bottom once. Fortunately, I poured slowly, so when the first hot water hit my palm I was able to drop the colander into the sink and the pot of pasta on the floor without too much injury.

Spaghetti sauce on toast is pretty decent, by the way....

 

1 dues /ˈduzː/ Brit /ˈdjuzː/

That moment when your English (England, UK) coworker says "I'm fed up with the union [redacted], and it takes you a moment to realize that he was saying "dues" (see pronunciation #1, above [North American English]) when it really sounded like he was saying "Jews" (see pronunciation #2, above [British English]).

Not a random antisemitic outburst after all.

That was a relief.

 

It used to take me no swipes at all about 15 years ago.

 

TMW your word processor (Open Office) will offer to autocomplete just about every word you start to type except for the hard ones.

"Beg[inning]"- check.

"Seve[nty]"- check.

"Cig[arette]- check

"Wolocy....czyc.... czyk" Oh come on, the name appears three times on this page alone! Chi-town's got a lot of Poles, so I know how to pronounce it, but spelling it isn't automatic, little help here?

 

Auto-correct once made my character ask for a man’s certain dangly part rather than a pen.

Robin screaming for Amos’ dick carries far more implications than screaming for Amos’ quill.

 

I don't really use the autocorrect, it's pretty hard for me to not type through the word, it's just that it would be nice if it would stop popping up suggestions for the easy ones and start with the fucked-up ones. Probably some way to ask it to, but I don't need another procrastination task.

 

That moment when Hi Point ..... actually make a 32
And that moment when you say 'yes' to a Windows 10 update and realize you want to use your computer again before your next vacation

 

That moment when you go to a forum site looking for the answer to what should be a simple technical question with a bit of wiggle room, and discover that the discussion ranges over more than twenty pages, includes multiple bannings, and seems to have been locked at several points in the past.

And no, I'm not talking about our own "Italics for Thoughts" thread, it seems the phenomenon extends to multiple interest groups.

There's a story about a minor demon in there somewhere....

 

I had a good reason to set my alarm for 0530. I know I did.

 

Lol

Thaaaaat moment when a small-name band you really like finally releases new music after years of dormancy

 

I know this pain from using libre office (but my brain also had this autocorrect feature but is 1000x more inappropriate than any document processor (and why I'm shifting over to a LaTeX processor)

 

That moment when you've gone from loving hunters chicken to wondering why it's even a thing.

 

TMW you leave work and find your car buried in snow. 20 cm of it, and no shit either.

The drive home was interesting...

 

Speaking of no central heating, it's currently 3.9C in my living room (39F).

A trifle chilly perhaps.

 

That moment when you sit down in your recliner and it feels like your spine is chewing its way out your back. Thank God for leftover Vicodin. Old injuries suck.

 

Surely shit would have made that situation worse? Silver linings and all that...
