Rant: neighbors, trolls, etc
Jul. 1st, 2005 08:26 amI swear to everything that's holy, I want to strangle my neighbors.
I was up till 5AM, coding HTML (I hate coding, btw, and I should really code my TM fics more than twice a year because OMG there are a fuck lot of them) and wandering around online and basically doing what one does when one naps till 9:30PM, then drinks a bunch of caffine.
It is now 8:30 AM. It was closer to 8:00 when I woke up.
Three hours of sleep. Three hours.
So I really want to know, why the FUCK my neighbors thought it would be cool to drop something heavy and large into the dumpster at this hour, when it's empty and the whatever-it-was will echo like mad, waking me up and scaring the hell out of me all at once?
Also, why does the guy next door have a very loud, very shrill telephone ringer? And why does he not have an answering machine to make the bad noise GO AWAY after a couple of rings?
I don't know why I'm on AIM. I had three hours of sleep, I don't want anyone to talk to me when I'm like this. I might eat them.
Also? There was a troll in one of my blindness comms. Who uses a screen reader, and was still somehow fucking obnoxious enough to come and say, and I'll quote this 'cause I'm tired and it's in too much troll-speak to be summarized, "whats with all your livejournal icons and all the photoshop filters on them and all that you can't even see them, who's making them and whats the point"
Hullo, can we say asshole?
It just boggles the mind though, when I think this guy's vision is so much worse than mine he's using a screen reader. If I wasn't so pissed off and tired of this shit, and just plain tired, I would feel sorry for this guy for being clearly so pissed off at the world and so bitter about his own situation, that he has to act this way towards others.
The saddest thing? If he'd come and posted and said "Hi, I'm new, and sometimes it pisses me off that I'm blind/can't see/whatever"? I know I for one would have understood. Now, the way he did it? It's twice as bad having a troll like this, who ought to fucking know better.
Gah, I'm way too tired to really get into this, but- shit, you know?
Ugh... that's it. I'm gonna check a couple things as long as I'm- well, let's just say "at the computer" rather than awake, 'cause I'm sure as hell not that- and then I'm going back to bed.
edit: Etu, LJ? I didn't want that as a tag, just the mood... nrrr.
edit 2.0: Hah! Gotcha. Go to edit tags, and just make the stupid tag in question disppear. Then go back and fix lowercase c to uppercase. Bah. I shouldn't have to think on 3 hours of sleep.
