What's pissing you off tonight?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Me?

That Republicans won't even consider gun control legislation

and

That I got stopped by a rude and scary cop who treated me like
a mass murderer for failure to slow down to 20 mph along another
cop and speeder on the side of the road. I asked "What'd I do?" and he said
in the most scary and stern tone..."I will tell you after you properly identify yourself"

You?

[Travis_0004]

1. I pulled over a speeder today, who was kind of rude to me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Sorry ! I was going 30mph...would you have stopped me? nt

[ShrimpPoboy]

7. lol

Well done

[angstlessk]

8. Kind of rude...did you shoot him? Arrest him?

What exactly is 'kind of rude' to a cop? Not offering to shine your badge?

[Elmergantry]

3. scare easy eh? NT

[angstlessk]

6. Scare easy...have you paid attention of cops killing folkes????

HELL YES scared!

[Elmergantry]

10. A few bad apples

in a large barrel. Statistically insignificant chance. Never had a bad experience with a cop.

So no, never afraid of getting shot. Besides Behaving oneself when interacting with a cop goes a long way in ensuring that it never happens, even with the bad cops.

[angstlessk]

16. My friend called 911 cause a boyfriend was threatening her

she went outside to get away from him and was arrested..the cop did not show up for her court date...she spent a night in jail for NO FUCKING REASON...do not tell me about cops..I would wager a years income that that same cop was abusive to his wife!

[angstlessk]

19. Maybe many years ago cops were community oriented...NOT NOW

WE ARE ALL CRIMINALS NOW!

[tymorial]

28. They no longer have to protect and serve

That decision by scotus changed how the police approach their role. Today it is enforce.and collect.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Yes ! And, we all know that something so innocent/benign can turn so

horribly wrong. so, you don't say anything. Kind of reminds me of the old movies in the south where the character gets tossed in jail and since the sheriff owns the town you are stuck.

[840high]

24. .+1

[angstlessk]

30. White men who have never had a bad experience with cops

we must collect that data!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Oh lordie, if you have met cops in TX you wouldn't ask. Last time

front license plate missing since I had body work done - they interrogated me... where I was coming from...where I was going.

And, on a trip from Houston we were stopped. My husband and I were separated and interrogated.

Yikes...I sound like a ne'er-do-well

My heart bleeds for Sandra Bland RIP

[Elmergantry]

17. I wouldnt give them any info

I felt they had no business in knowing. Here is my name, license, that's it. Wanted to search my car? Get a warrant.
But I would never never never physically resist. That's when the trouble begins. Fortunately I never been in that situation.

Sounds like you were given a bit of a hassle.

[Jim Beard]

35. Show me your papers!

[angstlessk]

4. The first for sure...

Dern...just imagine if you were black..funeral Monday!

[tallahasseedem]

5. Trump getting as much attention as he is...

He deserves none.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. don't you think the thrill is gone? Media was in awe at first. Now, there's

a post out there about how no one in local law enforcement will agree to protect him/perform crowd and traffic control in TX.

I say let him have as much coverage as possible. Each viewing by a voter surely will add one to Dems !!

[tallahasseedem]

14. No, it's still corporate owned...

and they need the ratings. They'll jump on any little thing Hillary does in order for it to be a "close race".

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Well as long as we have mass murders and celebrities dying ....

[gratuitous]

9. Whaddya got?

[Squinch]

12. Gun humper trolltastic posts on DU.

Sorry that happened to you. That does make your heart jump into your throat, doesn't it?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Well, it's amazing how you know you did something minor - but you

automatically go into this mode like omg - I am going to jail or worse. And, that feeling must me magnified by a trillion for those who are profiled.

Guns. I hate them. I wish they were never invented.

on the other hand, if I was in danger or my family, I can't imagine not doing everything to stop the person. But, would like to think I would have a stun gun and shoot the person in the legs

[Squinch]

22. And it sounds like the cop was being unnecessarily aggressive with you.

Yes, I agree about the guns. Not so much the guns as the obstructionists who insist on their right for their hobby to put everyone else in danger.

Other countries manage not to have weekly massacres. We are idiots.

[seabeckind]

20. Microsoft.

I was getting ready to shutdown for the night and it had the little thingy that said updates were ready to be installed and should it go ahead.

Knowing from experience that they try to stick that win 10 thing where I don't want it, I figured it'd be good to check before I said OK.

It's a good thing I did cause what popped up was something like: "Are you ready for a Windows 10 experience?" (or something like that.

So I looked for the KB3035583 update number cause that's the colon prep.

They changed the number.

I'd tell you what it is, but.... you're probably a Hillary supporter and need such an experience to teach some humility.

[Marie Marie]

34. Bernie supporter here and I would love to know the new number of the unwanted update.

Can you please just whisper it in my ear and it will remain our secret?

[seabeckind]

47. Ok, shhh.

The title of the thing made it pretty obvious it was a win 10 install. The number was really just an extra piece of fluff. It was in the optional update category and already selected... wasn't that clever?

I figured those others would be hunting all over for something that isn't necessary and getting all frustrated.

Heh, heh...

[seabeckind]

51. This AM a new thing arrived.

I deselected the previous one I mentioned but now there's this guy:

"Updated capabilities to upgrade Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 --

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3123862)"

And this article:

What little we know about recommended Windows 7/8.1 update KB 3123862

Last week I wrote about a mysterious new patch for Windows 7 and 8.1 machines called KB 3123862. Released on Feb. 3, the nearly undocumented optional patch claimed it would ease the transition to Windows 10.

Yesterday, Feb. 10, Microsoft changed the patch from optional to recommended, and it's now being installed automatically on millions of machines. One big problem: Nobody seems to know what the patch does.

http://www.infoworld.com/article/3031391/microsoft-windows/what-little-we-know-about-recommended-windows-781-update-kb-3123862.html

Ok, now what? Is this guy a trojan horse? I think I'll hide it and see what happens.

Be careful out there, people.

(added) I think I'll turn off the Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2952664) as well.

I don't like the idea of Microsoft's partners wandering around in my 'chine.

[Marie Marie]

52. I check each update before I download and I have to say that they have yet to

sneak in a Windows 10 update. I do have that KB2952664 appearing as an important download but do not have that one mentioned in the shaded box above. I wonder why different people get different updates...

[seabeckind]

53. Lull us into complacency.

Tho the article I linked talked about 3123862 showing up last Feb, I hadn't seen it until now.

On my wife's machine the actual Win 10 thing I mentioned earlier didn't show up at all but the other 2 came in late this afternoon.

Oh well, ever vigilant. There are people in the world who enjoy our discomforts.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

21. A FB exchange with someone from college --

who is ALL about "the Muslims are coming to get us!" The Orlando shooting set hm off again.

My response to his screaming about the Scary Muslims: We have a problem with religious fundamentalism, period. My big problem is those who scream loudest about "radical Islam" don't seem to have as much anger or indignation when it is a radical "christian" who is doing the bombing/assassinations/mass killings/calling for the deaths of others. I have FAR more to fear from THEM in our country than any fundamentalist Muslim -- after all, RW "christians" run many of our governments and attempt to make laws based on their radical religious ideologies. Fuck'em ALL.

His response: Wow HHNF really. Well we'll see how many more attacks Christian fundamentalists pull off in the coming years. No you should be scared of a run away Muslim cult in whose world you would be a second class citizen. There is no moral equivalency here. Ask the homosexuals in many Muslim countries how they are treated. Oh that's right you can't because most are killed.
Christianity gets no pass in my book, but to fear it over a splinter religion gaining strength? No comparison HHNF and (name removed) none. I know you're angry as am I but let's not fall into some collective Stockholm Syndrome over radical Islam.



I especially love the "mansplaining" he did for me, the Little Lady who apparently is clueless.

[tymorial]

31. Unreal

Seriously. I have read it all.now.

[JanMichael]

23. People in the world - around 15%. They blow through stop signs & have no regard for other creatures.

They have their big uncontrollable dogs off leash and throw old cigs and fast-food cups out the car window. It's about 15% of people that just piss me off royally.

Gun nuts. Pitt bull fanatics. Anti-vax loons. False flag disaster freaks.

Did I mention the illiterates that do not know the meaning of STOP? It does not mean "roll" it does not mean "take foot off gas and glide" it does not mean anything other than STOP. Fuckadoodledoo that makes me furious.

[840high]

26. People who don't signal get my goat.

[JanMichael]

27. Agree 100%. Signal then turn it off. nt

[Elmergantry]

32. Had an exchange with a cop the other day

Was hired by my bro to direct cars at his sons graduation party. Young cop; I yanked his chain; I asked him if he brought his taser as he will need it. Then said I was family. He replied "so I wont need the taser right?" to which I replied in the affirmative...I chuckled he thought I was serious....

[hunter]

62. I hate automobiles. Everything about them. It simplifies my list.

[MFM008]

25. My weight is stalled

Lost 50 been stuck for a couple weeks.
Pissng me off.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. Losing 50 is phenomenal ! how'd you do that? nt

[MFM008]

44. a lot of cottage cheese...

actually more protein, WAY less sugar, white flour. more activity.
Sugarfree gum. It isnt easy at 57 ill tell you!
Thanks by the way.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. It's that more activity that's the hardest. Looking for a diet where

you can lay on the couch and watch TV...haha.

Seriously though, I am convinced that weight control is so much more about moving your body than what you eat (within reason, that is).

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Spending $21.99 on Soft Claws...

Getting scratched all to shit on a nail trim...

...
Only to find out the f*cking glue is dry.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. Soft Claws? glue? what ?? nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. ...

[840high]

43. If I tried this on my brood I would

have to have an ambulance waiting.

[Glorfindel]

33. The term "pissing you off," or "pissed off"....I really, really don't like that

What's wrong with saying "making you angry?" "Pissing you off" just sounds nasty.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. sorry..it's a British thing..

[Squinch]

56. Nah. It's American too. "Pissed off" is not something that needs an apology.

Pisses me off that people think it does.

[smirkymonkey]

45. Oh god, seriously?

Do you really have nothing better to get worked up over?

[Monk06]

64. Don't get your knickers in a twist mate Laura Buy Me A Drink was just taking the piss

[deathrind]

36. Officers like that...

Need to take a step back and check themselves. If that is the way they begin each evolution. I realize the shitty and very dangerous job it is being in LE but no one is forcing them to get up everyday and go be a police officer, they do it voluntarily.

I have been pulled over by officers that even before the first exchange of words took place the officer took a highly authoritative posture with their hand on their firearm and other officers that were firm but very professional and respectful. I understand why the two sides but the encounter is 100x better and goes a long way to improving the image of LE with the officers that are professional as opposed to the to the officers that are not.

[Glamrock]

37. That's the problem for cops these days.

The decent ones anyway.

For example, had a breakdown on 90. State cop, young, very helpful, very cool. Couple weeks later, band got pulled over leaving a bar. Driver hadn't a drop. Cop walked up to the window, hand on gun, yelling and cursing n shit. We hadn't done anything mind you. This was this asshole's idea of a sobriety check. Total douche. Makes you wanna hate cops if it happens often enough. Really makes it hard on the good ones.

[smirkymonkey]

46. The sickening and intractable gun culture in this country.

I am beginning to lose all hope that we will ever make any progress here.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. Agree. And, the underlying violence of our society here.nt

[Odin2005]

50. I'm pissed that 50 people died because of a homophobic POS...

...and it seems like people are more interested in using it to push political agendas than actually mourning the dead.

[Boomerproud]

54. If all goes as it appears to be going at the conventions

We have a choice between a dangerous narcissistic bully and a person with the self-awareness of a gnat who will be chewed up and spit out as soon as she's in office. We must do better in these perilous times.

[LeftRant]

55. The answer is almost always just "Republicans" :p

[Laura PourMeADrink]

59. I hear you...but, it seems to me, for the first time in my life

anyway, that WE have the upper hand now. All my life, Repukes
have been super controlled, message consistent, never do anything
outside the norm.

And NOW, it's unbelievable. To me, it's like dark and now HAPPY SEASON.

They are in deep deep doo-doo and I am loving every minute of it

[Jim Beard]

57. No Flags at my banks, not at half staff, Just no Flags! We there Flag day???

The court House and Post Office have them flying at half staff-both flags but the republicans decided to not fly any flags of any kind anywhere.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

58. Wow...what state do you live in?

[Jim Beard]

61. Would you believe, Texas?

I just noticed it today, Wednesday. Flag day was on Tuesday so maybe they forgot something, or whatever. I am going to ask them Thursday.

[SDJay]

60. Every time I Turn on CNN...

I see that insufferable woman with that garish cross, Kayleigh McAnerny or whatever, defending the talking yam in a frenzy. GAH! She makes my blood boil if only because she's so ubiquitous. I freaking LUNGE for the remote every time I see that mug on my teevee machine.

[Aerows]

63. It's raining it's ass off

I'm stuck with my rowing machine, when I would have loved to be running the streets, clocking times.

[Aerows]

65. Additional thing that is pissing me off

I had my sound system (I almost went there but you already have a bad night and don't need to subject yourself to the geek)

Had it all geared up to go so I could run with tremendous sound.

Literally too much rain. I wasn't wading, but that was coming.

[Skittles]

66. someone gave me AppleTV

the second time I tried to use it, it doesn't work and I find I need Itunes to restore? I absolutely refuse to get an Itunes account so I will be giving the AppleTV away
