You think your day is bad!!!

Maybe we should send some minties to these people. Just
remember, it could be worse!

* The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon
Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony,
two of the most expensively saved animals were released back
into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute
later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

* A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to
a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his
reactions. After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her with
an axe leaving her mentally retarded.

* A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking
frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist
towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the
deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the
back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he
had been happily listening to his Walkman.

* Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of
sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn Germany. Suddenly the
pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence
and stampeded, trampling the two hapless protesters to death.

And finally. . . . . . .

* Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a
letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it.
Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

Your day's not so bad, is it?

yes, these stories are 100% true.....you have to realize though, they are not dated, so they are probably just freak accidents that happened over the years

I'm sorry but that doesn't mean anything to anybody because nobody here knows what happened to you. Next time maybe you should add a story along with your obscure comments.

Actually I think Prezmet was just trying to answer the topic question: "You think your day was bad?"

Actually my post does tell you something. And if you read my words, it would mean something to everyone.

If you read the lists of how the days were in the topic post (yes, I'm assuming that you can read) you know how their days were. If you read my post, you know my day was better. So think (yes, I know I'm asking a lot with you thinking and all...), with your head (please bear with me, the headaches will subside) , and you will come to a conclusion of how a day has to be in order to be better than the aforementioned days.

Now, my previous post may have been ambiguous, but it does have meaning - whether or not you are able to comprehend the meaning is of no consequence to the meaning that the post contains.

And I know I'll probably be warned for this. But in my defense, my post was just a response to a blatant attack.

Nobody should be that harsh in a forum, Prezmet.

Wow that really was mean Na'eem what did I ever do to you to deserve that?
Oh well if you wanna know about a bad day just step into my life pick a day any day. Like that day I was trying so hard to take the SATs or the last day before Thanksgiving break I was trying to put something into a college app but I couldn't get to it cuz some freshman must have erased the file from my sister's computer then I tried to get an incomplete copy of it from home but the only person at home was my overly computer illiterate grandmother so I spent over an hour on the phone with her trying to explain to her how to send it to me via email. Then if it wasn't bad enuff when I got upstairs to get the stuff to Ms. Blain there was a sign on the door saying that the senior house was closed and she had left at like 11. And of course that particular app was due Dec. 1st. Then bcuz i clearly was having a horrible time I kind of had a mini break down and my sister's freshman laughed at me. It really wasn't a good day. I wanna see if anybody can beat that.

Alyssa, if you're talking about the SUNY app, its not due dec 1st, they have no formal deadline for apps, they also have rolling admission.

And Na'eem I will let this thread go but you had two infractions, one for spam for your "ambiguous post" and one for the flame

No actually it was for Manhattan School of Music. I talked to the College Office later tho and they saw my distress and got it in for me.

You can warn me all you like, but you should try and be fair...

My first post may have been ambiguous, but I want you to go back through every forum and warn every user for each and every ambiguous that they may have made. ...Not gonna happen? I didn't think so. How dare I expect to be treated equally under the law? I have no idea what was going through my mind.

And in my own defense, she did start it. My response was not unprovoked, although you all can pretend it was if it makes you feel better about yourselves.

And to those of you who reacted to my post: Whatever...

Um if you look you'll see that he's not giving you a warning he said that he's letting it go. Keep pushing him and maybe you'll get what you want.

There's no reason to be rude:wink: and he can speak for himself.

And part of what you said is as right as the other part of what you said is wrong. Now that I have read his post again, with your latest post in mind, I see that he wasn't warning me, but informing of two infractions of the rules under his interpretation. But, you're wrong in thinking that I do want a warning because I don't. And I wasn't pushing him.

Actually I did feel like I was being provoked. She didn't start anything in my judgement rather she made a point, in a somewhat rude way, that almost every forum user feels is that you cannot post pointless (read ambiguous, pronounce SPAM) posts. Since I haven't made it policy yet, she had a right to do so.

If any member of the forums has a problem with another user posting SPAM, please contact me about it with the thread name and post quote, only for SPAM, not flames or quotes. It's a new policy. All messages will be kept anonymous.
