So I was subpoenaed by my city's tax department for a missing tax file for 2003...
So I go in,and tell them I didn't work or have any income in 2003 (I was just starting college on financial aid) so there was nothing to declare...
Now heres the kicker...aparently in this city you have to file even if you have nothing to declare...what?
I ask where the fuck that rule is stated cause it sure as hell isn't on the form where it should be...the answer I get is "its on our website". Oh gee,thats great...but what if I didn't have a computer? And even if I DID have a computer,nobody gives a shit about your website unless theres a need to go there in which theres very few cases in which somebody would need or have the motivation to go to a city's website,so what then? I know ignorance of the law is no excuse,but thats fucking ridiculous. Not everyone has access to the internet nor would they see a need to visit that site...in order to claim the "ignorance is no excuse" bit,the law needs to be accessable to EVERYONE,which it obviously isn't.
The reason for filing even when you don't have income? "Well how do we know that you didn't have any income that year?" Oh well,heres a clue genius...YOU DON'T GET A TAX FORM! The federal and state doesn't require you to file when you have no income,so why the fuck is it different locally?
I swear,stupid people only exist because they have no natural predators...

Bit Torrent is a great thing,but it sometimes has its downsides that make me downright mad.
Before tonight,I would get so fucking pissed off whenever a download was in the high 90% of the way completed,but would then stop entirely and never start back up again. Thankfully I found out that I have a player (VLC Media Player) that will play partially downloaded video files. The more percentage downloaded,the less it gets fuzzy in places.
However,the thing that REALLY drives me up the wall that I haven't been able to solve yet is getting foreign films where the subtitles won't sync up right. I've got 2 unwatched movies where this is the case,and I had to delete another one (thats I've heard nothing but great things about to boot)

Got into an argument today with some stupid bitch who had no earthly clue what she was talking about. I continued to verbally hand her her ass on a silver platter until she eventually had to stoop to the "Thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it!" defense.
Yea,you ARE entitled to your opinion...as I am entitled to MY opinion...and in MY opinion,an opinion based on pure stupidity and nonsense isn't an opinion at all,and anybody who forms or expresses an opinion based on said stupidity and nonsense aren't entitled to anything but a kick in a mouth. While I'm on the subject,in my opinion,the phrase "Thats/It's just my/your opinion" is stupid and unnessasary...but that IS afterall,just my opinion...

God I hate helping people with computer issues via a Nextel...not to mention a BLOND FEMALE who has no fucking business owning a computer to begin with...
Then I have to deal with an idiot middleman who can't even say the word "gradient" (so far he's called it "radient" and "graduation").

You know what I'm getting REALLY sick of? People that give other people gifts,then try to use that as a means of control or thinking they actually own the gift they gave because they bought it. Hey morons,BY LAW,you don't own shit anymore the minute you 100% relinquish possession to somebody else. I am absolutly amazed at the amount of people that try to sue other people for something that was a gift,only to get laughed out of court. No rational human being would think this way,only those with major deep seeded control issues.
Years ago I had a friend that gave me a Sega Genesis game for my birthday as a gift (Skitchen to be exact). I said as long as it was within reason,he could barrow it almost anytime unless I said otherwise,to which he agreed to. Then when he started barrowing it for way too long too many times and when I would say no when he asked to barrow it,he would always throw a pissy fit because HE was the one that bought it and even threatened to take it because HE bought it. Needless to say,I no longer associate myself with this individual (for an unrelated reason,but still).
Hell even my own father,who SHOULD have known better,did this often. Early on in my life he bought me videogame consoles (NES,SNES,Genesis. All the ones after that I bought with my own money). He would try to tell me how I should use them because HE bought them,and when I would absolutly refuse to use it the way he wanted me to,he would threaten to take them on the grounds that HE bought them. You'd think somebody who majored in law would know better. If I wanted to do nothing but take a great big giant shit on any and all of the game consoles he bought me,he couldn't do a motherfucking thing by law because it was no longer his the minute he relinquished complete possession to me.
Seriously,anybody that does shit like this is completely and totally fucked...

God I hate helping people with their computer issues,which I use the term loosely because its not like I'm doing any real tech support...today I had to guide a dumbass about how to attach a file in an email...you've gotta be fucking kidding me. If you would have bothered to just mess around in it and study the nomenclature of how email works like I did,you wouldn't have to be wasting my time on something so goddamn simple.
I would understand if it were something REALLY intimadating and complex,like programming languages (HTML,JavaScript,etc) or design programs (Photoshop,Flash,Dreamweaver,Director,etc),but using fucking email?! There are 4 year olds that know how to attach a file in an email,so that should say something about how utterly simple it is and how utterly retarded you are for not knowing what you're doing. Hell,truth be told,I fancy myself as a bit of a dummy and even I know what the fuck I'm doing with email.
I mean fuck,some of these people are complete morons even if you use self explanatory terms like "drag and drop",to wit they will reply "Drag and drop? What does that mean?" Or the funniest one I've encountered yet when I told somebody to "right click" a file,to wit they replied "Right...Click?" And the messed up thing is that I take the most obvious condesending tone with them to help them out,and then they thank me for explaining it so simply...you fucking idiots,I'm making fun of you...you're not supposed to thank me for that.
Seriously,if you can't do something as simple as operate/attach files in emails,then reformat your harddrive cause you have no business owning a computer...then while you're at it,put a plastic bag completely over your head and breathe cause you have no business living...

I just discovered another thing that makes me angry...flash banner advertisements that don't allow you to right click and change the quality of them.
I don't have a problem with flash banners at all...even think they're pretty damn neat (I especially can't help but do the ineractive ones where you hit a target and win something,only to immediatly X out the site it brings me up to when I win...I've seen a lot where the coding could have used work)...as long as I'm given the option to change the quality so it won't slow this computer down to the point of making the harddrive fan run...
I've been seeing more and more banner advertisements that don't fucking allow the right click option to do this...they're too fucking concerned with it looking good and being flashy...Seriously why is this? There are awsome looking flash banners that at least allow you to change the fucking quality...Its amazing that these big design nuts are WILLING to sacrifice user spec adjusting to make it RUN BETTER just for the saking of it "looking awsome".
Not everyone has a brand spanking new out of the box computer like they should...this comp has been in operation since mid 2002...maybe earlier...without the hardware updating I should have probably already done...

Dear Sony,
Putting the battery compartment inside the CD Walkman door had to be one of the dumbest ideas in the history of man. Fire the brainiac who came up with that
Sincerly, Kefka
P.S. If you think you're gonna sell tons of P$ 3s at lanch time with those ridiculous prices,you're sorely mistaken.
