JEDI1x 04/25/01 10:03 PM RE: Pedestrian Rage

Thank you for giving the other perspective. As a pedestrian, I'm the type to try and usually get out of the driver's way. So I guess i've just always assumed that other pedestrians will do the same when i'm driving. I do see your point, the guy obviously didn't care that you were carrying a lot of stuff. I do agree that pedestrians should always have the right of way. i mean, it's not like we'll dent the car if we accidently bump into one while crossing the street. I do get irritated with kids who like to act cool and rebellious and walk like they're on death row. Even worse, they like to look at you with a stupid smile on their face

lavaflow 04/25/01 6:05 PM Pedestrian Rage

I'm not sure about this but it seems that traffic lights on Kapiolani Boulevard stay green for longer time during traffic hours in the afternoo. For pedistrian, it seems forever waiting for the lights at the crosswalk to turn green. Few days ago, I was carrying a lot of stuff both from school and grocery shopping on my back and both hands. Although my bags were heavy, I tried to walk as fast as I could when I was walking on the crosswalk. While I was walking, a car making left turn came really close and drove away as soon as my body passed in front of that car. I felt that the driver of the car was irritated about waiting for me to cross the street. I understand that the driver was stressed because of the traffic. But I don't understand why the driver had to threat me by stopping the car really close and had to show how he or her was irritated.

kakela 05/01/01 10:51 PM RE: Polite rage

language can be a bitch sometimes. There are definately unwritten rules by which we all follow to function sucessfully in society. If you take Eng. 302 from Dr. Nettell you can learn all about this. I think he is a really good professor. Anyway, there is a negotiation between two people when they meet. There is a diference in ideals, morals and beliefs and you must use language as the tool to negtiate these differences. To do so well requires politeness which is taught at a very early age. I am sure that you have heard children being told by their parents to say thank you and please. The children repeat these words like a parrot, but this is the first steps to this sometimes irritating thing we call politeness.

lavaflow 04/27/01 6:08 PM RE: Polite rage

I know how you feel when someone keeps talking things that you don't really care. It's really frustrating because you have to listen to him while your mind is totally against the subject he's saying and your apperance. If it happens to me,it would be a lot easier if I can simply say to the person that I'm not interested in or I'm busy but reality doesn't go like this. I think that a similar situation could happen when interacting with friends or may be with my family. But I know how frustrated you were because he was your boss. I think he should be more concernd about someone who have no choise but to listen. But I guess this person never doubt about his talking could bother others. Unfortunately there may be many bosses like this person in any workplaces.

shaun56 04/26/01 4:29 PM RE: Polite rage

Well, they say, kill em with kindness. I think that there is no absolute solution to your problem. You could be a prick, tell him off, and probably lose your job. You also could just make up excuses everytime he talks to you, then he'll probably be hurt, and possibly you may not get a raise for a while. Or you could tell him politely that he bores the hell out of you, he may appreciate it, and maybe just maybe he won't bother with talking to you. Then again, you could just keep things the way they are and keep puttin' up with his crap. Wow, you are in a bind huh!?!? Well, he is the boss, and you do want to keep nyour job, so what can you do? Bummers huh, how life throws you problems that you can't put a finger on!!

JEDI1x 04/25/01 10:11 PM Polite rage

Today, my other boss came to my other job's office and needed to drop off some things because i was taking over for him while he go to the mainland this weekend. He pays well, but man can he talk. I mean the kind that kills you. He will talk nonstop about crap i absolutely do not care about. it gets to the point where i start developing this intense anger inside and i wish i could videotape myself because my body language is so obvious. i wonder if he knows and just likes to make me suffer because he knows i won't do anything or if he's just oblivious. today was really bad, i was on the brink of yelling at him and calling him every evil thing i could think of. But why? i guess what makes it worse is that if he was someone else, i would have no problem in expressing the bitch i can be. i so dread the next time i have to see him. i feel bad, but it really kills me, really.

rie2001 04/26/01 10:23 PM Hit and run rage

Aloha. I think I have been driving pretty carefully, tried not to rage at all, but no matter how careful I am, there are some stupid people on the road. I got into an accident last weekend and I am so mad!!I was at the traffic light on Ala Moana Blvd . I stopped at the red light, and I was NOT moving at all. Then one guy hit my car rom behind. I got out of my car and told him to get out. He got out, and accused me for being drunk. I was not drunk at all!! I got his lisence place number, and told him to pull over because we were clogging the traffic. Then, he sped up and ran away. I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!I called the police, and they came, caught a guy who hit me. The police told me that he is now a criminal because he ran away. I think he didn't know that I got his lisence number. BUT!! I've got it. If he just admitted his fault, he wouldn't be a criminal at all, but now he is. He deserves it!!

Supreme-Finess 05/04/01 9:34 PM RE: Rage at a friend's comment

Ah yes the expectations from people can get out of control sometimes. Just because your in a certain field, people expect you to be the expert. I dont see why, if they know you are going to college for it; they should also know that you didnt graduate yet and not an expert yet. Next time you should tell them at least to wait until you graduate with a degree in psy. or a phD. But realistically speaking, expectations can be irritating sometimes, especially when you dont have all the answers

skyblue 05/02/01 10:43 AM RE: Rage at a friend's comment

Hi... I hear ya! If your friend was a bright psychology student, she wouldn't assume right away that you know exactly what she means. Two people may say the same thing but will interpret the message differently. Some people will choose to reveal less or more information to others. Your friend should've been a little bit more sensitive to you. You should turn the question over to her and say what is her definition of communicating well?! It sounds to me that the both of you will be headed straight for a communication clash since you're not into making assumptions and she does the opposite. You are smart not to make assumptions about the other person and to try to avoid her as much as possible!

gemini-gal 04/29/01 10:54 PM RE: Rage at a friend's comment

I can see why you're frustrated. Some people think that you can actually read people's minds or explain every little action in their behavior. They have to remember that we are not psychics, we are aspiring psychologists. I think that being a psychology major helps because we try to understand why people act like the way they do but we don't know everything! I would've probably said something like "excuse me, you're a psych major too. go figure it out for yourself!" Or "Are you paying me to diagnose your friend? I don't think so!" It's funny how people get apprehensive when you tell them you're a psych major because they think you're psychoanalyzing them. I'm guilty for doing that sometimes! But I don't act like I know everything because I don't. Your friends comments were unnecessary and if you feel comfortable, keep your distance. But next time she says something like that, retaliate and be assertive with your response.

leis 04/27/01 11:55 PM RE: Rage at a friend's comment

I have experience like you. Some people sometimes ask me " how do you think her behavior?" "Please tell me what his behavior intends". I do know like the fact that they were obsessed the idea that all psychology majors should know about human behavior. Moreover, I am not an expert at all; I didn't know how to answer exactly, so that whenever they asked me I would become embarrassed. By the way, although I am not exactly sure why you had wanted to keep your distance from your friend who majors in psychology, I would think that it is good idea to once keep our distance from someone when we feel tired of the relationship. In my case, I usually feel better. Hope you could find new and better friendships!

purple848 04/27/01 5:35 PM Rage at a friend's comment

I don't like when people tell me, "You should understand what I'm thinking about because you are psychology major." or "How come you can't explain why he/she acted that way? You are psychology major, right?" I am learning psychology, but I'm not an expert. I am not supposed to say "She is acting that way, so she has OCD and needs a certain treatment." I think I can understand if people who are not majoring psychology were making this kind of comment because they are not familiar with psychology. What made me upset was my frind whose major is also psychology accused me for not being able to communicate well with her. She said I should take communication very important because it was one of the key issues of psychology. The reason why I had avoided to communicate with her was because I wanted to keep my distance from her. I was offended by her comment because she knows I also major in psychology. After I came back home, I thought it would definitely be my policy to keep poor or no communication with her from now on.

Man, all I can say is I am sorry but it sucks to be you. Sometimes you just gotta put on your shit kickers and kick some shit.

MAX676 04/27/01 7:47 PM CraZy with this Raaaaaaaaaa................ ...

I don't know about you, but I'm not to thrilled about Community Psych. It's probably 'cause I got fell head first off the curve two times in a row. I got screwd over both times. I missed a C times in a row by one freakin' multiple choice question. I don't know for sure, but I think the teacher is going to average the letter grades, so I will have 2 D's and a B, so It's pretty much over. I might as well just get crazy with this razor. If this is how it works, I will not get the grade I deserve. If you know how the community psychology teacher does the grading. Hit me up! thank you

AnimalLover 04/29/01 12:25 AM RE: U-turn rage

If I were you I would have been confused too. I don't understand what some drivers want. I think they expect us to be able to read their mind, even when they are doing something stupid. That lady sounds like she was a nut and I'm glad I didn't have to come across her, I guess she was just impatient and she probably screwed up on her directions and needed to back track. I swear some people are so rude. Well, congratulations on your presentations and keep up the good work, we're almost done. I know that I'm very, very, very happy that there is only two weeks left to the semester, the strike is over and everything is basically back on schedule.

rie2001 04/27/01 7:51 PM U-turn rage

It's Friday!! I was so happy on my way to go home after school. I finished two presentatin today, and I felt releaved. I was going down Univesity Ave, stopped at the traffic light at the corner of University Ave and Beretania. Then I realized the driver of the car behind me was yelling at me. I turned down the stereo and opened the window. She said, "Move, move!! Go!" I looked up the traffic light, that was still red. I didn't know what she wants me to do because if I move forward, I will be stuck at the middle of intersection. I moved a little bit, and the driver behind me continued to yelling.... "Move!!" I moved a bit more, then she suddenly made U-turn in the middle of Universiry Ave, and drove off. I had no idea of what she wanted to do. I mean, who would think someone might U-turn in the middle of University Ave, around Rainbow book store, when she is not supposed to? I have no idea what on the earth trigger her rage because she is the one who is being ridiculous!!

kakela 05/01/01 10:46 PM RE: graduation rage

I am graduating as well and I am stressing out with all the notices and stuff we have to do before graduation. It is only a couple weeks away and I am having some trouble finding the addresses for people I have to mail the invitations to. This is on top of all the crap I have to do for grad school and all the crap due by finals. Kinda stressing out now. I was thinking that I had everything pretty much lined up and that graduation would be the last thing on my lisdt to worry about, but the closer I get to it, the more everything elae is being compressed along with it. So much fun.

kakela 05/01/01 10:46 PM RE: graduation rage

shaun56 04/29/01 7:52 PM RE: graduation rage

Wow, that is pretty messed up. You mean to tell me that you never heard of the graduation gown eating bugs?? Nah only joking. But that is pretty funny. You better remember to pack your gown back in the bag before graduation this time. Well, seems like we are all running out of rage episodes to talk about huh?!? I guess this class cured us of our rage! Anyways, what school did you graduate from?? Just wondering. By the way, I met your brother. He's in the sociology unit mastery class. I tutor in the soc lab that's why. Well, good night, hope the bed bugs don't bite. :) See you tomorrow!!

charisseo 04/27/01 8:02 PM graduation rage

this is not a rage that i am currently experience. but i did experience this when i graduated from high school. i wouldn't call this a rage experience through. it's more life self rage. well as i getting ready for graduation i opened my gown package and left it, messily, folden in my room. i didn't bother with it untill the night before graduation. as i unfolded in the night before i i lifted it and realized tht there was tiny holes on thr front left side. little bugs that i did not know existed, and still have not seen, were in uy room. being that it was the night before i basically paniced. i tired to figure out how to fix it but no solution i could think of would fully hid the holes. through the night i was frustrated because the whole mess would not hae occured if i folded mygown nicely and put it back in the package. in the end i called my bestest friend who basically told me to calm down aand that there would be a rep from the graduation company with extra gowns and stuff.

Supreme-Finess 05/04/01 9:09 PM RE: server down rage

Oh my God the same thing happened to me aswell. I am sitting up late doing all of my other assignments and I hope that the server is not down when i start to upload because I am paranoid that this will happen to me too. It has before but I hope it doesnt do this when i start to upload aswell. Man I have so much other things on my mind right now i hope i can get through this- i need coffee right now.

mightymousesa 04/30/01 1:51 PM RE: server down rage

Wow, these reports on the web have tested all of my nerves! My reports, home pages, and extra credit are done, however I would rather have my work turned in on a hard copy rather than on the web. The actual web publishing is so unstable sometimes. I've had a wide range of problems that relate to my server, my software, or other things that are completly out of my control!!

charisseo 04/27/01 8:09 PM server down rage

well for all of you that are uploading your reprot two you might be familiar with my exerience. first i tried to upload my page on wed night. for the whole night i could not get connected. i thought it was my internet service that was blocking it or my password was wrong. the next day while i was in lab for soc 225 i tried to connect to the server and still it would not connect. i emailed dr.leon and he said that it is just some of the problems wiht the server. sometiems it works and other times it does. this make me a little bit uneasy because what if i want to load my final page and the server is down?

snowhawaii 04/29/01 12:00 AM RE: Come On, Please Student Advisers!!!

I really know how you feel because I'm mad at my advisor too.I already have a BA. So I transfered 90 credits and now I'm working on my second degree. Whenever I went to talk to my advisor, I told her that I'm going to proceed to Masters program. But she just instructed me by the normal procedure, and never told me there's another alternative, which is I could take the graduate courses as an unclassified grad student status and then I can transfer these credits when I get in Masters. I never knew there's such a system till somebody in my class told me. I really feel I wasted time and money by taking core courses. I'm not interested in Geology or Religion or World History at all. I took those because the advisor told me that I had to take. The advisor must be more responsible for the students. Especially international students are dependent on them because the school system is very different from that of their own countries. But now I don't trust them much!

leis 04/28/01 1:27 AM Come On, Please Student Advisers!!!

Because the student advisers gave me lack of information, I knew that I was not able to graduate this semester. When I met with an adviser last semester to confirm my credits, she said I would be able to graduate Spring 2001. Afterward, although I met with other advisers, nobody told be any problems. In fact, I have enough credits to get a BA degree. How come cannot they suggest in better way? Although, I have often been fed up with them since I became a UH student, this extremely made me feed up. I try to take care of myself as much as possible,but their easiness is beyond my imagination. I cannot deal with them any more.

Daniel1978 04/28/01 9:07 AM RE: Come On, Please Student Advisers!!!

Yep. Right there with you. I supose they do it so much that they know our requirements inside out. And they have to repeat them so much every day that they just don't care if we understand them or not. I'm a senior and I'm still clueless. I had one of those grad sessions and Pffft. Nothing. I sat there for two hours and I still don't know if I need certain courses or not. In Montreal (where I'm from) what we had in the way of required courses was I schedule. They would give us a suggested way of taking courses in sequence. So they would help you plan out your time in college. I mean, it wqasn't like the LAW. You still had choices. This helped A LOT. No confusion. Oh, well.

gemini-gal 04/29/01 11:18 PM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

Hey Daniel, fortunately, I have never encountered the pop-up ads that comes with this message board. I have encountered them on other websites which is extremely aggravating and irking! I would swear at those ads that pop-up! Talk about computer rage. I don't know why I haven't gotten those ads. Sorry to hear you're experiencing that. But don't worry, the rage will be over soon. Only one more class left! Hallelujah!

ddestrad 04/30/01 12:01 PM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

I'm sorry to hear about the little pop-ups causing you distress. They are annoying, i had only 2 of them pop-up when i began this program, but when i'm on my computer i have never had the problem. Well it's the last time that you will have to deal with that!!!! See you in class!

kakela 05/01/01 10:01 PM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

Oh crap, sometimes when I am going through some pages, totally unrelated pages start popping up. Once I typed in www.chevolet.com and all these fricking porn pages started popping up. There were so many that it crashed my computer and I had to restart the thing. Sometimes just avoiding those pages are not enough.

shaun56 04/29/01 7:56 PM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

They are messing with you man. The little men inside the computer, you know. I think they are call gigibots or something. Nah, just joking around, but hell yeah, those ads suck ass man. But then again so does this class. But noit to fear the end is near!!! Well, see you in class tomorrow! LLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEERRRRRR!!

meow24 04/29/01 1:36 AM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

I really hate these ads popping up too. and surprisingly these ads are popping up more than ever today. is it from this forum? it never happened before but they are popping up like crazy right now. I close them three times already but they are keep popping up. I wonder if these advertisers know that we are more irritated than interested in these ads. i don't think i remember any of these ads since i close them without even looking at the materia. it just eat up my energy and patients..!i think it should be made illegal. its invading my computer! as i write this, i have about five ads flashing in front of my computer screen.. ah~~~

snowhawaii 04/29/01 12:08 AM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

I know!!These are so annoying. Sometimes I have to click "X" 10 times or so.I've realized whenever I come to this discussion forum, some ads always pop up.I never read those and just tried to delete them, and I think so as other people. I wonder, then, if those ads are still effective.

virtual-b 04/28/01 1:22 PM RE: Pop-Up Ad Anger...

Yes, I've noticed those ads. The thing that is irritating is that they tend to be java applets. So the computer takes a while to load them. And sometimes when they do, it crashes the browser. A few times, I've gotten the message that says, that I've performed an illegal action and shuts the browser down. And all I did was click on one of the posted messages. I guess that coolboard needs to advertise more in order to provide free message board service.

Daniel1978 04/28/01 9:12 AM Pop-Up Ad Anger...

Ok, so you know when we sign on to the message board? Well, it used to be that an ad for the little camera would pop up. That was anoying but not too bad. Well, now there are about 13 ads that pop up!!! I'm sure you guys have noticed. I hope it's not just my computer that gets these. And they're the kind of ads that when you try to close them, two more pop up. This stinks. I don't want to be subjected to this just to do my homework. If a site I like gets those, I stop going to it. Damn...

virtual-b 04/28/01 1:29 PM bathroom rage

I'm at sinclair library on a saturday. I'm uploading my work. And I have the urge to use the restroom. But the powers that be close that portion of the library that leads to the restrooms off. So I have to go to another building and see if they are open. Incidentally, I'm running out of "rage" stories to write about, that's why I have to write about not being able to answer the calls of nature. Man, I want this semester to end. Oh, this rage is making me angry and is affecting my ability to finish my report 2. It is affecting my cognitive abilities because I can't concentrate. It is also affecting my sensorimotor, since I have some discomfort. And lastly, it is affecting my affective self, baecause I'm beginning to get angry.

kakela 05/01/01 9:49 PM RE: Eating in the library

This guy wasn't eating when I was in the library. He was talking on his phone. I think that is the stupidest thing you can do in a library that is still legal. That bastard was talking to his friend about crap just waisting his minutes on whether his friend was going to class or not and where he was and what they were going to do later that nioght. AI wanted to smack the phone out of his hand. I think other people were thinking that same thing.

lavaflow 04/28/01 5:48 PM Eating in the library

It happened in the studying room of the library. I had to study for quiz that day. When I was really concentrated on my reading, someone came and found a place at a desk behind me. Soon, I heard the person opened a bag of snack and started eating. And this person had to make unusual noise when eating. I could hear he/she chewing and the sound from a bag everytime he/she grabbed the snack out of it. I became irritated because I lost my concentration by this. It was worse because I was hungry at the time but I didn't go eat because I wanted to save time for studying. Although food was not allowed in the library, I would be more tolerant if the person had a little concerns for others by choosing some snacks that she/he didn't have to make so much noise.

Dahlin 04/30/01 10:58 AM RE: Eating in the library

I have also been in the super quiet area of the library. It seems that every little noise is magnified 100%, especially if you are really pressed for time to learn something. I don't have an objections of people eating in the library but when they bother other people that is when it is crappy.I too sometimes eat in the library, but I do not go into the study room when I do it. I stay out in the main area where there is a little more noise and movement going on. Next time maybe you should say "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!, Yah you with the chips. I am trying to study over here".

kakela 05/01/01 10:28 PM RE: Rude Car Rage

I am always on the look out for people like that because if i can get hit by an impatient wreckless driver, then I can get a new paint job for my busted up truck. Gotta look for the people who drive really nice cars though because they garanteed got insurance. It is kind of hard sometimes because I react an avoid them instinctually and after I am thinking "Aw dang that was my chance!"

AnimalLover 04/29/01 12:33 AM Rude Car Rage

I had a bit of road rage today. When I was waiting at the stop light to turn left, the car behind me switched into the left lane (there were two lanes going left) because there were less cars on that side. After we made the left turn she cut into my lane because she needed to go right also. I wasn't actually thinking about my reaction but I heard myself say "Stupid f------ b----" and I realized "Hey, I have road rage" and I was slightly amused because I caught myself without thinking about it. I was just irritated of that lady because if she weren't so impatient she could have just stayed in my lane so that she wouldn't need to worry about cutting into my already busy lane. I hate rude, impatient people.

ktootree 05/06/01 1:58 AM RE: make up mind!

Indecision does get people enraged whether it's between siblings, friends, or parent & child. How was it when you arrived at Waikele? From what you wrote, it looks like you didn't fly off the handle in a total rage, so that's good. Did you yell at her or anything like why can't she make up her mind? If not, then you did a good job of controlling your rage. I commend you for that and for not leaving your sister behind.

purple848 05/03/01 4:07 AM RE: make up mind!

I thought your story was cute, too. I like to hear the story about brothers and sisters getting along well with each other. Your story reminded me of my sister back home. We have an older brother, and we all are close, but I feel more closer to my sister. I guess it's because both of us are women. We used to fight very often when we were small, but as we grew up, we became like best friends. I can tell everything to her, and I think she is the same. The best part of having a brother and a sister is that I can forgive them for doing something I can't easily forgive if other people did or say the same thing to me. I know they feel the same way about me, so they spoil me. And it feels good! When I was reading your story, I thought "Yeah, this sounds so familiar." What a nice thing that we have sisters!

TVR 05/01/01 4:40 PM RE: make up mind!

haha...your story sounds so cute. I have a twin brother so those kinds of things don't happen to me very often. However, I see this kinds of stuff with my girlfriend and her brother. It's like whatever he says to her she doesn't get very upset. She might get a little mad but they treat each really good. I sometimes wish that me and my brother were like this. But, then I think to myself and it's better like this because he doesn't bother me. You two should be very happy that your so close to each other. Especially, now when we have so much other things we have to do. I think having your family close to you is very important.

lavaflow 05/03/01 3:11 PM RE: Restaurant Rage

I think the lady was rude and it seems that she made mistake for letting in someone came after you. I would be really mad if it happened to me after waiting more than 30 minutes on Sunday mornig. And it would be the worst rage episode for me because I could probably start blaming her furiously until she could give some reasonable explanation or some sincere words. I think that you and your family are very understanding. But it would be appropriate for the person to let you go inside when she obviously made the mistake.

cjn 04/30/01 7:22 PM RE: Restaurant Rage

The lady must have realized that she made a mistake about calling the other group before you and did not know what to do but simply say sorry. It also must have been the reason she did not give you a reason. I would hate it to be told to wait longer than you're supposed to wait. The least she could have done was to give you a reason. HOpefully you left for another restaurant. It's really not fair to be treated this way. It just does not make breakfast enjoyable.

Watashi_No 04/29/01 3:23 PM Restaurant Rage

It was a Sunday. My family and I decide that we wanted to go to breakfast somewhere. So we get to the restaurant at 8 o'clock, and find there is a waiting list. That's ok, because it was really crowded and we knew it. There was people standing everywhere, outside on the steps, inside, some had seats. The parking lot was full also, and still more cars were waiting to get in. And we've been to this restaurant before so we knew it would be crowded. So we put our name on the waiting list and see that there is about 7 groups ahead of us. So while we're waiting outside, more people go in to put their names on the list. So about half and hour to forty five minutes goes by and a worker comes out and calls a name and the people that came AFTER us got to go in before us! We were wondering what was going on, because we had the same amount of people as they did. So we go in and ask the lady and she said sorry, with no explanation. So we asked how long and she said about half an hour, so we said forget it, and crossed our name off the list and left to go eat somewhere else. I wouldn't be so angry if she just said 'why' she put the other people before us or atleast I would have known why, but she didn't say anything so I think I'm angrier for not knowing.

charisseo 05/01/01 3:54 PM RE: Rain Rage

raining while fishing is definatly not a good mix. the last time that i went fishing it rained, i fell, and i caught a rock fish! i wish that i had left when it started drizzle becuase i wouldn't have fallen, and gotten all wet. then i wouldn't have caught that rock fish that ended that day of fishing because while the rock fish wiggling it scratched someone and it got all puffy. so be carefull while fishingand i hope the rain goes away:)

shaun56 05/01/01 5:09 PM RE: Rain Rage

Hey you,Well, I did not know that you are a fisher woman. Wow, I thought you were more on the passsive side. Not the nature type. I guess that goes into my reading of your cover. I'm sorry. Anyways, I guess you could say that it is a good thing that you caught a fish, but rock fish are not really a good eat huh?!?! So maybe one day we can go fishing. If it is not raining that is. Well, I seen you today, and you acted a little strange. Is something bothering you, or is it just me again?? Just wondering. Well, see you later alligator! ~SHAUN

kakela 05/01/01 9:41 PM RE: Rain Rage

There are just some times when rain isn't good. Others may disagree with me on this one but I like it when it rains at the beach. Personally I don't like the sun, blazing at least. I like a little cloud cover to keep those nasty UV rays off a little and a good rain to chase all the dorks off the beach leaving only the hard core surfer there. I am a dick.

shaun56 04/29/01 7:46 PM Rain Rage

I'm really getting tired of this horrible weather. Personally, I do not hate the rain. Sometimes, the rain can be very soothing and comforting, yet other times it can be a problem of disasters. For the past two nights we've been fishing. And as we all know, fishing and rain do not go hand in hand. And as you can guess, it diod rain the past two nights. Actually, I would say that it didn't rain, it poured. It also sucks bewcause when it rains, the fish tend to not bite as much. Maybe they'll catch a cold:). I don't know, but I do know the the weather forecasts are getting more and more inaccurate as time goes by. They say it's gonna be dry, of course it rains. They say it is gonna rain, and it's dry. I think they might as well just say that it is going to rain, save themselves the hassel of being always wrong. I don't know maybe the water is just getting to my head..

gemini-gal 04/29/01 10:42 PM Pedestrians in crosswalk rage

On Saturday afternoon, I was on my way home when I encountered pedestrian rage near my elementary school. I always slow down in that particular area because its the law and there's always people jaywalking and running across the street. There's also a lot of kids running around. Anyway, I slowed down near the bus stop because it was right before the crosswalk. There was one pedestrian to my right and one pedestrian on my left. They were not using the crosswalk and that infuriated me! I was still nice enough to slow down for them. I saw both of them but I don't think they saw me coming. The one on the left was strolling along until I came within 10 feet of him so he hurried on by. The one on the left pissed me off even more because he was going to walk behind my car and so I proceeded slowly ahead. Then at the last second, he decides to run in front of my car and I had to brake suddenly! I almost hit him! He had a smirk on his face and I started swearing in my car! They couldn't hear me because my windows were rolled up and my A/C was on. I can't believe how some people can be so careless. They should've been using the crosswalk to begin with. Or if they were going to jaywalk, they could've made sure that they saw me. I think that pedestrians should make some form of eye contact with drivers on the road so they avoid getting into accidents and near-misses. I used to jaywalk as a kid but now I understand why its so dangerous.

kakela 05/01/01 10:34 PM RE: Pedestrians in crosswalk rage

Once when my friend and I were walking across University we over heard a couple of women talking about crossing the street. One said to the other that since it was the law they could walk out into the street and the cars had to stop for them. Me and my friend were thinking accoding to the laws of physics they should watch out because if the car doesn't see them step out into the street that they would lose to the car. Some people think that they shit gold and that everyone one should obey their rules. I have found that people who make thier own rules usually die by them and other people think that they are stupid.

ddestrad 04/30/01 11:58 AM computer shut down rage

Well i have finally come up with something that has truly mad me angry. I was writing an essay on monday for my class on tuesday(better late than never)and i had up to 5 pages, it was starting to sound really good and all of my thoughts were flowing. Than i had this thought, i have no idea where it came from but i thought that i should save it just in case, my luck, the computer would die and i would lose this amazing essay. Well to say the least the second thta i touched the save button my computer shut down and erased the whole unsaved essay. I could feel myself build up with anger, i stood up and walked out to my balcony and just tried to calm myself down. I was so furious, so i punched the door which actually made me feel better. I wanted to throw my computer off of the balcony but that wouldnt' make the situation any better. So i went to dinner with my roomates and got my mind off of being so angry and than i went home and spent the rest of the night re-writing the essay. Unfortunately i had to have a rage episode but now i have something to tell you guys about. well today is our final class so i will see you guys in a little bit!

Dahlin 04/30/01 10:46 AM House Guest Rage

My husband works with a lot of single soldiers. From time to time their girlfriends visit from the mainland. Some times these single soldiers ask the married soldiers if they can stay at their homes while their girlfriends are in town. It helps the single soldiers to cut costs on a hotel room. This week we are hosting a couple. The other day they stopped by to introduce themselves. I did not like the girlfriend. She was only here for about two minutes when I decided that she is a witch. When my husband was asking her polite questions it seemed like it killed her to answer. For instance she took serveral seconds to answer and rolled her eyes and wouldn't look at him. The whole time she was here she looked as if she were bored and was really put out being in my home.I am angry because we are doing them a favor, we didn't have to allow them to stay here. Plus you just do not come to someone's home and ack like you are too good to talk to them.Then yesterday, the guy called and told my husband that they were coming over to stay later on. They never showed up. I told my husband that I am glad that I didn't do any thing special for their arrival, such as clean the house, put fresh sheets in the guest room or prepare a special dinner. Because I would have if I knew her or even if I liked her.I guess today or tomorrow they are coming to stay with us. I hope everything will go ok, because if she disrespects me with her attitude again I will tell her to get the f@$& out!

Supreme-Finess 05/03/01 3:03 PM RE: If you work in a computer lab, you should know about computers!!!

Here! Here! I happen to totally agree with you on that one sister! I mean who does the hiring for these computer labs. I thought I needed help. No these people need to take a computer class. I think there should be some kind of requirement for these employees at the computer lab, such as, they should at least should have take ics101 before applying for the job. Keller computer labs are cool but the others are in need of some lab monitors that have some actual computer lab experience. I feel your pain mighty mouse hopefully some one from the computer lab will see this and bring it to the attention of someone who is responsible for this mess. I feel like i am better off by myself sometimes. oh well

charisseo 05/01/01 3:37 PM RE: If you work in a computer lab, you should know about computers!!!

i can understand your frustrations with people who are underqualified to do their job. once i was in the mac lab because all the computer in the pc lab were in use. when i asked the lab monitor if they could help me with convert my file to the a mac file, all he did was refer me to the sheet of paper. since i am not a mac user i was pretty much at a lose. the information sheet was of little to me and i ended up just waiting for a pc monitor to open. what bother me was that the lab monitor sat only three feet from the monitor where you convert your files to the mac file, but he did not bother to get off his seat and help a student.

mightymousesa 04/30/01 2:05 PM If you work in a computer lab, you should know about computers!!!

AAAAGGGHHHHH! Does anyone know what the exact qulaifications are required to become a computer assistant at UH? The top requirement must be: #1. Be completely unable to help people with their computers!!! I am totally raged about this one!!! A prime example occured this Saturday. My boyfriend and I came to the lab to work on all of our final projects. The lab was full of people, and people were waiting for free computers. However, I noticed that many of the computers were turned off and had broken writen on the screen. Meanwhile the computer staff was playing solitaire and talking. My boyfriend went over to the staff and aked what was the problem w/ the computers? They said that they were broken. My boyfriend (who knows a little about computers) went over and realized that the reason they were calling it broken was because the mouse needed to be reinstalled!!! That was it! All of these people were waiting for computers that really should have been made availabe to them!!! Can anybody try to do a good job at their job anymore???

lavaflow 05/03/01 2:54 PM RE: computer rage

I also had problems a couple of times when writing a reply to people on this forum disscussion. I often need a long time to compose my message and sometimes, I have to use a dictionary to look up some word. It was common that the line was disconnected when I was almost done with my writing. I tried to connect to the UH again but it was hard to do it, especially in the evening time. The result was that I had to rewrite all my effort with anger. As I was writing this, I noticed that I should've done this at a computer lab instead of doing from my place.

cjn 04/30/01 7:16 PM computer rage

I was replying to one of the rage topic and clicked on the "edit" button when a window popped up letting me know that "netscape has detected an error in netscape..." and the computer screen went blank. I was so furious. I have typed up a response to a topic and now I have to rewrite it again. When I was able to get back to my desktop, and decided to open netscape again in order to rewrite my response, it would not open, it froze. I tried to restart it but it did not seem to work so I had to hit the reset button. I hate it when it does this. Now I have to rewrite what I had written previously. Sometimes I feel like crashing this computer for good but I can't live without it either so I guess I'll have to deal with more computer rage in the future.

cjn 05/05/01 12:58 AM RE: RaGE oF ThE HeArT

The only thing I can say to you is to move on. YOu are hurting yourself even more by hanging around her and keep hoping there is a chance for both of you. She is with someone else, this should be proof enough that she is not serious about your relationship. Really, you are wasting your time waiting for something to happen between you. It is simply not healthy. Don't wait for her to let you know you are free to go, go by yourself.

purple848 05/03/01 6:36 PM RE: RaGE oF ThE HeArT

I can understand how you feel because similar things happened in my life with my past boyfriends. The worst experience I had was this man who was a service member stationed in my homeland. I was totally in love with him and believed everything he told me. Before he left for the next station, he promised me to come back and get me because he wanted to marry me. And that was the last time I saw him and I haven't seen him since. It took me for a while to notice that he had never really meant about what he said to me. The love I thought we had was an illusion. I was very young then, so I was gullible. I think your ex-girlfriend was scared to tell you that she was not in love with you as she was before. Please don't take me wrong. I am not on her side. I think she was being coward and couldn't see you hurt when she told you the truth. Or maybe, she didn't think she was strong enough to accept any blame from you. I thought if she really cared about you, she should have told you the truth earlier, but then I thought maybe she was waiting for the best time to tell you so that your shock and grief for knowing the truth will be a little lighter. I thought it might be not appropriate to tell my personal experience here because it might not make you feel any better. But the reason I did was I wanted to tell you that you will always meet someone who really cares about you and be with you for better or worse. Your ex is not the only person who loved you or who you could love. Please do not make yourself suffer for thinking why your ex left you, or why she said something she didn't mean....etc. I am sure after a little while, you will find someone special. And that will be the time you will appreciate this sad experience because if your ex was still around, you wouldn't meet this special girl. Trust me on this. It happened to me, so it will happen to you!

PHYRE2001 05/01/01 11:55 PM RE: RaGE oF ThE HeArT

People are weird when it comes to the heart. Well, I should not say weird, but indifferent. It is like they are not themselves, especially when it comes to breaking up. I had two good friends date back in high school, and everyone that they would have lasted forever. Well they did not last forever, but at least we would have expected them to have a civil break up. That was not the case either. All the promises that they made to each other before they went to college all ended in lies. I think that people just do not know how to handle people they love, even if it means breaking up. So, I agree with you. It is ok to rage, love does that to the best of us

ktootree 05/02/01 1:12 AM RE: RaGE oF ThE HeArT

I can understand how upset you are. I've been in a similar situation where a person has told me things that have included the words "I'll always be there" or "You'll be the one I'll be with later on." Like you said, why not just say that it's totally over and let the person go? I think those kinds of people who say things like that think they'll alleviate the pain by making it seem like there's a chance that the two of you will get back together, but in actuality it just makes the situation worse. Situations like this are very difficult to handle. Trying not to think about that person by keeping myself busy is what I do to avoid feeling hurt or rage.Also, you shouldn't feel rage with her because she admitted it to you and that's what you figured, and you wanted to know the truth. Yes, it hurts when you reflect on the once loving words spoken by the one you cared for the most because now it's like those words no longer hold true. All I can say is try to keep your head up and realize that there's someone out there who will be more appreciative of you and will not take their words lightly. Until that special person comes along don't let this past relationship bring you down.

Supreme-Finess 05/01/01 1:51 AM RaGE oF ThE HeArT

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the mind of a woman who is being dishonest. Perhaps I can't blame her because I wasn't totally honest with her but, what bothers me the most is all the constant denials of telling me the truth every time i begged for it. You know when a man pleads to you to tell the truth after six years of being with him, he deserves to know no matter if how bad he messed up. Why would any woman want to prolong the suffering of their exboyfriend by dragging him along on a false promise of being together when the woman knows damn well that she aint gonna end up with him in the end. Why not just say "okay, its over I have someone else move on" why would she say "I will be with you later on" while she is being with someone else? Is it her wish that I catch her somewhere with them together? I already told her that I knew what was going on but she still denied them to me in my face. She told me there was nobody else over and over again. So she had me waiting for something that would never come to me. I rage because of that. Why not just let me go? I told her that It would be cruel for me to find out she was with someone else by me running into them together somewhere. My jaws would drop. But she still always denied it. She finally admitted it to me. Now i feel so much anger because she told me we would be together and now i know she is with somebody else. I guess i always knew she was. I just wanted her to admit it.

Supreme-Finess 05/04/01 9:02 PM RE: english class rage

Boy I tell you that i have experienced English class rage myself. I had to memorize a fourteen line sonnet, write my own sonnet, and write a five page paper on the subject. How can you write five page sonnet on a fourteen line sonnet. The sonnet does not even have depth and scope enough to write five pages on it. Damn does my teacher want to be bored to death after about three pages of writing about it. I feel that three to five pages should be the rule, not five pages minimum, that is so no fair! I mean does my professor want alot of "fluff" - i think not so why the stiff requirement of five pages?

charisseo 05/03/01 2:23 PM RE: english class rage

i'm so jeolous, did you see my jeolous rage posting ? this english class is giving so much troubles as it gets closers and closer to the final. first it was the strike, then all the adjustments that had to be made due to the strike. for ex. going to class on a sunday:( plus i don't think my teacher likes me too much... oh well it's almost over. it will be over in a couple of days. then all my english class rage will be gone... well, stinky;), take care and good luck on your finals:) charisse

shaun56 05/02/01 4:33 PM RE: english class rage

Well Ms. Ono,That goes to show you that you should have been in my english class. I vaguely remember you trying to get into my class, but when you seen me, I seemed to make you sick. Then you left my class. Boo Hoo Hoo. I felt so junky inside. Nah! But my english class was so cruise you know. We only had 2 papers, and that's it. A measly final to go with it too. I only wrote a total of 9 pages to make a writing intensive requirement. How lucky. Well, I don't mean to rub it in your face, but I was kinda hurt that I didn't get to have you in the class. I was sad, depressed, and broken. Nah, but I hope you have a great life. Try to keep in touch!! BYE BYE :( Shaun

kakela 05/01/01 9:58 PM RE: english class rage

I am taking Ebg 257f which is a womens writters class and it is really great. Nobody in the class including the two teachers know what is going on. They don't really communicate with eachother so they can't communicate with the class. I have been turning in papers without definate instructions and grading criteria. The first day back from the strike we had a huge disscussion in class about how poorly the class was being run and how frustrated the students were. A couple of the students actually started to cry cause they were so pissed. One actually started to yell at the teachers. I was just sitting there listening and watching all thuis crap go down and all I could do was laugh.

TVR 05/01/01 4:20 PM RE: english class rage

Yup, I think there's some kind of conspiracy in the english department. I also had to wait on a waiting list even though I'll be graduating this summer. However, that was just the start of my problems in this class. My professor expects us to do so much out of class work that everyone is getting pissed off already. It seems like he's making us suffer for the time we lost during the semester. And how about this, I think he was absent like 6 times during the semester and this class meets only on tuesday and thursday. It's ridiculous and I wish they would judy stop talking about the strike already. Does your english professor still talk about the strike. Ah, I'm so tired of hearing about it from mine.

charisseo 05/01/01 3:30 PM english class rage

well here's my the brief summary of my english experience this semester. first it took me about a week and a 1/2 into school to get into the english class that i needed. first i had to wait on the waiting list. this was rather irratating because the teacher did her waiting list on a first come first serve basis. i was the 4th one on the list. other students who were sophmores were while i need this class in order to graduate this semester. other things that added to my english rage is the fact that this class is on the fourth floor, and the room is very very cold. as for the work for this class i feel very overwelmed right now and am very glad that my english rage will be over in one week!

leis 05/04/01 6:43 PM RE: finals week rage

I am under the same situation like you. I have final exams on Mon and Tue. I have no choice but doing as much as possible! No time enough to get rage!!! Hope you also manage to do this final!

oshale 05/04/01 2:35 PM RE: finals week rage

I think we are all having finalsweek rage this week. I just had a test today and it was so hard. This will be a rage, a separate one. But anyway, I think finals are really ridiculous. It is the most difficult test, most of the times cumulative and we have to have it one day after another. How can someone prepare for that? It is not just one or two classes. It is all of your classes in one week. Who ever thought of finals should be punished!!!It is making extra stress for students and I don't even know how effective final studying is if it is scheduled like how it is. I think it is time, someone went out and change the system!

lavaflow 05/03/01 2:34 PM RE: finals week rage

I understand how you feel because I've been experiencing stress that I never had during last few weeks of the semester in the past. I don't know why this semester has been really tough because I tried to keep up with all assignments. I know that the strike had strong impacts on my studying and it seems I became stress prone person (?) since the strike. I've been having hard time calm myself down when my stress level reach the peak while studying in recent days. I hope that I can manage myself and I can concentrate on my final works better.

kakela 05/01/01 10:36 PM RE: finals week rage

I feel that my rage due to finals is also a culmination of the strike and all the work compressed into two short weeks. I feel taht the professors have been very understanding and they have been giving extentions and taking late papers. It helps but I still feel that there is a greater than usual drive to cram all this work in.

charisseo 05/01/01 3:44 PM finals week rage

with finals week comes up i am feeling the stress that comes with it. my main source of rage due is mainly because final projects, papers, and exam fall on the mon and tues of finals week. i really wish it was spread out more then i would have more time to study. i must admit thuogh that it is not the finals scheduel that is the source of my stress right now. it is the fact that i did not keep up during the strike as much as i should have.

AnimalLover 05/03/01 9:56 PM RE: car rage!

I'm actually beginning to like my car again because I've gotten used to all of the problems. None of the problems are major so I can live with it but when I first got the car I hated it because it was giving me all of these problems. I bought the car from my mom and it never gave her any problems but when it came down to me that somehow changed. Anyways, I'm grateful for my car because it could be a lot worse. I grew up driving in my fathers cars, they were passed down from everyone else and they were always in the worst condition so I'm a little used to crappy cars and the issues that come with them. The car was really rusty so my father decided to paint the car a bright blue to fix the rust. Yeah, I've seen pretty bad so don't worry about your car, there's worse.

TVR 05/01/01 5:32 PM car rage!

ahh...I hate my car already. A couple of days ago it was rain pretty hard by my home house when I decided to go out for a little while. I jumped into my car and drove off. Everything was fine until I looked in my back view mirror where I thought I saw was drops of water falling from the roof. I stared and stared and I finally concluded that it was rain coming into the car. I looked on my rear seat and it was soaked. I became so mad that I started to yell at myself. I always knew that my roof was rusting but it finally went all the way through. I guess I shouldn't have waited this long to fix it. But, I guess I have to now and spend more money to fix my dumb car again. ahhhh!

kakela 05/01/01 9:46 PM sun rage

I had a canoe race the otehr weekend and it was ficking blazing. I hate the sun, especially at the beach or out on the water where there is no hiding from those bastard rays sending all that fricking UV crap down at me. It was a pretty long race and the heat was taking a toll on me towards the end. We raced from Hawaii Kai to Magic island. Comming around Diamondhead, I was starting to feel it a little. I drank a lot of water before the race but the body can handle so much. I opted not to take water with me because it is just extra weight and I kept telling myself that within a couple hours I could be sitting on the beach drinking all the water I want so just suffer now and be a little lighter. Fricking sun kicked my ass.

kakela 05/01/01 9:54 PM library phone jerk

I was in Sinclair the other day and this guys starts going off in the study area. I thought he was just going to turn the thing off but the ass answers the phone and started talking to some chick about not going to class, where he was, what they were going to do later and then he said that someone else was trying to call so he had to go. He then answered the other call and started talking to that otehr guy. Pretty much talking about the same damn thing. Where the other was and what the plans were for that night. I wanted to slap the phone out of his hand and drag that punk ass kid out the library. I could tell that otehr people wanted to do the same because people aroung him including myself stopped what they were doing and just sat there looking at him. I am telling you. These punk ass preppy kids with cell phones driving mommy and daddy's car that they suped up need a slap from some stranger who doesn't love them.

Hmmm....this I think is a common problem. I receive daily notices about how I can get rid of my debt now! The only problem...I don't have any debt. I hate these messages, and the people sending them don't care about us, because all they need to do to make this a profitable business is for one of us out of 50,000 to respond, and that sucks. What it means is that more and more garbage will be coming our way everyday. Serenity now! Serenity now! Hopefully hotmail will find a way to move all junk mail to bulk mail, or there will be a way to accept mail only from other accounts that utilize only certain servers, but for now, I think we can accept that we'll have to deal with a lot of crap.

Supreme-Finess 05/04/01 8:58 PM RE: email rubbish

I feel your pain. I know exactly what you are talking about. I get those alot. I think it has to do more when you first sign up to a particular service like an email service or any service for that matter. However Many internet services we receive, wouldnt be available to us if it was not for their advertisements and sponsers though so you can believe that though it is irritating to see them, somtimes we need them.

shaun56 05/02/01 4:37 PM RE: email rubbish

I know exactly what you mean. I hate getting mail that is so damn incoherent. I hate getting porn mail, and I cannot block the friecken sender. I get sick of getting all kinds of shit like that. I cannot figure out how to block the senders, and neither can the tech supporters at the company I go through. It gets me sick that those bastards don't know what the hell they are doing. They get paidd for shit, and they probably get paid a lot. Sometimes I just hate computers, but then again.... they will conquer us!!!!

kakela 05/01/01 10:13 PM email rubbish

I don't know if his happens to anyone else but the last several months I have been getting all kinds of crap in my hotmail account. I get mostly porn sites sending me notices to see some hot girls and wild sex stuff. Other times I am getting credit card info, insurance offers, banking, real estate, dental care, loan offers and book offers among other things. My block sender option is getting quite long and I am thinking that I will run out of how many addresses I can block. I know I will eventually because the same people are sending the crap to me but they keep changing the name of their address by a number or one letter. I don't know what I am going to do because I have given this email address to all the school and work contacts I have so a lot of people have this address and sometimes hotmail can only handle so much.

BC3 05/04/01 9:47 PM RE: finals cram

You are so right! Sleep, what is sleep. The sun set, I was typing, the sun rose, I was typing. My roommate went to bed I was typing, I got up, I was typing. I always think, what would it look like if they used time-lapsed photography on me, that would be funny. Between now and graduation I have a million things to do and I'm on number 8 of that list. It seems like I never have enough time. Now, whether that is due to poor planning or just overwelming work loads is debatable. Extentions are always nice, but I think I'm going to have to use the "stay up all night" method to accomplish everything this time around. Oh well, we're young, I just get mad when I see everyone else going out and I'm stuck at home. I always ask "Don't they ever have HW?"
