It's almost like you made a bad decision, then you practised poor discipline, and something bad happened as a result.

Actually, I have a similar problem constantly. I never update my contact information, and I live in London now, so I'm actually a pain to reach. I recently **defaulted** on a credit card. I owed $20. The bank paid the $20 but my credit rating probably got demolished. This type of thing would happen to me all the time, so I barely ever use credit cards. I paid my student loan years before I needed to, so I wouldn't risk this happening. I just don't trust myself to stay organised and remember shit.

My AC went out Friday night in my apt and will not be fixed until Tuesday. It is currently 94 degrees outside and at least 90 inside. The hallway has some Ice Cold AC blowing and I have been keeping the door open with a big fan blowing some cold air in..however my neighbors are niggers..decent niggers. One is a lawyer and the other a professor but they have some real ghetto nigger family over for the holiday weekend. Every time they walk by I feel they are staring in my house looking for stuff to steal. While this would be quite impossible with door locked and alarm set I am opting to sweat my testicles off with the door closed..fucking niggers.

No way.

I HATE the "don't use electronic devices during takeoff/landing" thing. It's 100% BS and your example is just taking it to a whole another level. What next... break all of our wrist watches? Force passengers into a non-dreaming comatose state? None of this shit does a fucking thing.

yea it was ridiculous.

ninjaface · 05-31-2012, 07:50 PM

Did you express your displeasure with them in a civilized manner?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 06-01-2012, 12:27 AM

If putting a pube on his head while he was sleeping counts, yes.

Mr. Blonde · 08-13-2012, 10:30 PM

It really grinds my fucking gear when Americans, of Mexican/Spanish descent (same thing really) speak normal American English 99% of the time, except when they pronounce their names.

These fucking people can talk normal an entire conversation, but when when asked their names, they pronounce it like their family is some noble Spanish family living on a fucking Chateau in Europe in the 1800's. It almost sounds like bragging.

Fuck these people, and fuck every Spanish thing. Ironic Mustache, you better not pull this shit.

DJ FC · 08-14-2012, 04:06 AM

Did you pronounce your name differently in Korea?

Your name is your name dude. It never changes, even if you get the local accent down. How can this anger you?

No...because I'm fucking American. Just like Mexican-Americans. Maybe you should re-read the original post, chief. Here, i'll help make the point more clear for you: African Americans don't pronounce their name in fucking click clicks.

thekremlin · 08-15-2012, 01:44 AM

Or French.

(A lot of African countries speak French).

Because their name isn't click clicks. Even if I move to France and spend the rest of my life in France I will forever be Chadwick and not Chadouique

You still don't get it? I am really surprised this is confusing you so much. Guess you're just another mammal after all.

I am not talking about people who move to America. I am talking about people who have lived in America their entire lives, people who have had to recite (practice) their full name to mostly other English speakers (read: not their family) their entire lives.

Mario Lopez, in an American English accent, just like they learned in fucking school, because they were born in America.

not

Marrrio Lohpehzzz, like they're fucking Zorro or something.

Let me know if you're still confused.

Dent · 08-15-2012, 06:46 PM

What about if Mario's parents pronounced it like that and they aren't native?
Or if his granddaddy was called Marrrio Lohpehzzz and he likes to say it that way?

Edit : With a name like López is there even an English or English-Mercan equivalent?

Mr. Blonde · 08-15-2012, 07:05 PM

Then he is a dumb Mexican, sorry. As I said, people pronounce their full names mostly to other people, not their parents or their grandparents. "Hi grandma/mom/dad! It's Mario Cesar Lopez! No. There's a reason people lose their accents when they to a different country -- and most of it is atrophy.

None of you will win on this, and probably the only reason you are even defending it is because you don't regularly have to speak with retarded-sounding Mexicans. It is stupid and they should stop. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to speak in a foreign accent only when pronouncing your name when you live in a country where you mostly don't speak that foreign accent.

And FWIW, FC, I did change my pronunciation of my name when I spoke to Koreans -- because I'm not a braggardly entitled cunt and it made it easier for them to understand/pronounce.

Ugly Bastard · 08-15-2012, 07:24 PM

Blonde you mad?

Dent · 08-15-2012, 07:34 PM

What about practical purposes?
two people both named Mario Lopez work on the same floor
one pronounces his name Marrrio Lohpehzzz, the other doesn't.
"spanish one or american one?" variety is the spice of life!

You're really saying that if you were named something then you shouldn't be allowed to say it how it was given to you? or however you want to, even if it means adding an extra a in your name like you do.

Are you against changing your name to sound sexy/foreign as well?

Edit:
Also the UK is #1 for dialect variance/area, i'm not sure how it compares to your mexican problem but here's my local dialect, I wouldn't blame you for not making it past 10 seconds.

Saint DH · 08-15-2012, 07:52 PM

I think I made it 20 seconds.

Dent · 08-15-2012, 07:53 PM

Not buying a t-shirt?

Dent · 08-17-2012, 01:59 PM

Tired of seeing this sign, really not how the paralympics should be advertised imo.
But who is going to complain and say that the disabled people are getting cocky again?
no one.
