Ooops… I shouldn’t have driven while texting, jerking-off, and sleeping. Sorry!
LOL I have been looking for that pic, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen it…
…guess you got to it first…
LOLFUCK forgot about this and missed the Friday release, so here it is a very half-assed, rushed rant-let.
I just purchased my third set of headphones (in 6 months) the other day. My computer speakers are jacked up and apparently irreplaceable so my only option is headphones. The volume adjustment knob on these things is put on the wire in just the right location to slowly yank the wiring out and eventually kill the sound in the left–then right–ear. Does this just happen to me? Am I wearing them wrong? Or are they intentionally designed to self-destruct? I’ve finally said “Fuck You” to the volume knob and opted for clean wires, but it does cause some inconvenience when someone makes an ear-raping collection of noise not-so-cleverly-disguised as a song. Oh, and there’s the fact that anything but the absolute shittiest of headphones will set you back $30. I thought once I’d try getting some high-end, shiny new top-of-the-line, 5-year-lifespan headphones and saw some competitively priced at $200+ and thought FUCK THAT. Fuck that and fuck you, Sony. Anybody else have headphone issues?
Nope. With my computer, I’m still using ones that I’ve been using for almost 10 years.
Every set of headphones I get usually break after about a month or two of being used… pisses me off. I used to buy some that were about $20 or so, but I figured if they break that often, I should buy cheaper ones. So I found some $5 headphones… and to my surprise, they have lasted me about 4 months now. Little ironic, isn’t it?
I went and bought a set of “skullcandy” headphones. Supposedly says they’re theatre quality, and while that may be extreme, I still consider them to be quality headphones. I purchased them at Best Buy for about $50 and have never had any problems. I have only had them for about 8-10 months but there’s no sign of the headphones deterierating so I figure if these things last 2 years at least then I got my money’s worth because I use them all the time…oh shit! there’s teeth marks on them, I just now noticed them! If my fiancee’s cat ruins these I swear to God I will throw it off the balcany…anyway, I guess they even work with biting on the wires so I have no headphone issues yet.
i use Sennheiser HD 280 Pro 64Ω. studio quality headphones for 100 USD.
… 
This topic makes me sad.
HOLY HELL, THE TEXT ISN’T BLUE!!
Anyway, About the driver issue…
There are certain things I can’t bear to look at on the road, but my real button is driving recklessly on the freeway.
I was riding to my mother’s house after summer vacation one day(Parents divorced quite a while back) on interstate 5, and I guess there was a trucker’s convention somewhere in sacramento, because I counted at least 30 semi’s every few minutes. We were in a relatively puny Dodge Durango (SUV), but we were following the rules of the road. Further ahead, there was a rather foreboding doughnut truck ahead of us. We are in the leftmost lane, with a small shoulder on the road next to us. We pull up right next to the truck, and we see his blinker begin to flash. And guess what? He was just about to ram the shiznit out of our Durango.
He began to change lanes, as my mother pulled on to the shoulder and came down with a severe case of leadfoot. We sped past the truck and made it in front of him. As we began to pass, my mother told us(me and my sister) we had her full permission to flip this asshole the bird.
We were nearly killed, and it makes me very cautious on the road today. I hoped that doughnut truck jack-knifed into the realm of oblivion.
Man, that was nearly a rant in its own right!
My mom tends to text while in stop-and-go traffic.
I have had my permit for about 2 months…i realized after about a week (thank god for drivers ed) i was better than probably 50% of this country…
I rarely text only 2 times in my life…didnt work for me…so i actually CALL the person or talk to them personally…its that or well…you just don’t really hear from me
Man do i wish people would read this topic…i don’t mean notessimoers…they i would actually consider to be SMART people…unless they make songs that are like just every instrument on there and its thier 20th song
Cell phone usage in a car should be outlawed…the cops are the worst about here IRONICLY they have their cell phone all the time…and i mean ALL the time and they are the FUCKING LAW WTF PEOPLE…this place is backwards
There ive added my hat to the ring
I suppose we’re here to read an insanely long post and then post something that we’ve seen earlier, that pertains to the rant. Here’s what I’ve seen. We were driving along on the highway and we come up on an 18-wheeler in the far right lane. So, as a precaution, we pulled over to the right and were passing when we noticed he had his blinker on to turn off the highway. No biggy right? WRONG! the area he was turning into was one of those places were a side-road joins with the highway until it breaks off again…and what-do-yah-know, a women in an SUV pulls up on the right of him. Here we are, looking at a terrible crash, when the Tracker-trailer turns in and misses her by inches! (Ovbiously thats an exaggeration, but not a big one.) Later, we pull next to her, and (no suprise here), she was texting. The big suprise was that she had a baby and what looked like a 6 or 7 year-old in the back. Truly one of the most scary incidents in my life, even though it wasn’t even happening to me! Seriously!
EDIT: (I wonder if I should rant about things too…)
When yopu said she had a baby with her, it reminded me of lunch at school the other day.
We were downtown and we saw this teen mom that is probably a student at the HS and her boyfriend/father of the baby. They were smoking (what a surprise) and the guy held his cigarette RIGHT NEXT TO THE SLEEPING BABY!!! It drove me nuts. I should have said something, but he seemed to be 6’2" 230lbs+ so I kept my mouth shut.
