I hate people that when I'm trying to get free calls mainly the idiots at my school, start yelling at me, and then the operator hangs up... and theres nothing worse than being called stupid for knowing more, and being able to abuse phones more than they can....  >:(


You are, in fact, stupid for trying to use your knowledge to impress others. You're doing something highly illegal in a public place in front of other people and then talking about it in a forum, so don't tell me you're not trying to impress. Your arrogance is disgusting. And you ARE stupid for doing it in the first place, since you're giving everyone that doesn't like you a chance to be a witness to one of your crimes. Way to go.
I dont really have any enemies..I wasnt trying to impress them, they heard that I did it and wanted to know how so I shared some knowledge, and I dont do it around people who hate me, and if I do they have no clue what I'm doing.When I say "idiots" I mean some (most) of the people I hang out with.... they dont understand how its done, there version of a prank phone call is calling an operator laughing for 20 seconds then yelling psyche and hanging up which is purely and utterly pathetic. When I'm trying to do calls I mostly try to be alone considering it is illegal and people could rat me out. When I impersonate a technician they think its stupid because they think its easy (it kinda is) but O highly doubrt any of hem could do it considering they start laughng histerically when they ask the op for a number like XXX-XXX-133

I'm not kidding you, they really do start laughing

... well thats my rant or w/e you wanna call it....

I know that was directed at me, but it was still awesome. I gave you some positive Karma for it, too.

Welcome.

It was.  :P

Thanks for the welcome.

Heard from you?

I'm sure your friends are glad you feel they're idiots. Not everyone is good at manipulating others. Not everyone is good at keeping a straight face. They're still better at other things than you, and if being bad at what you're good at makes them an idiot, then you would be just as much of an idiot to them. 1 - 1 = 0.

So, a pet peeve of mine is people who think everyone else is an idiot, and especially those who parade around that opinion.

I just thought of another pet peeve, and I hate myself for falling into this catagory:

People who knowingly spend money that they don't have and don't have a realistic chance at recouping from anytime soon. There are kids my age in college that already have (in addition to student loans) a few thousand dollars in credit card debt. This is not right. If somone isn't working at least 25-30 hours a week to be able to pay bills they rack up, they shouldn't have a credit card. Hell, any full-time student probably shouldn't have a credit card.

I kinda hate the term "pet peeve."  It makes something that pisses you off sound like something cute and cuddley.
May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

Also, I hate people who are smart enough to make the right decisions but continue to do really stupid things that push their success in life back.

You get a credit card to build credit.  Stupid noob.

Failing to pay credit card bills does not build credit. Stupid noob.

My plan: get a bunch of credit cards. Pay ontime, be a good customer. Then one day, decide to not pay off all my debit.

my pet peeve is buying a DVD-RW drive on ebay, having it come with the wrong software, having you install it, get frustrated when it doenst work, search a halfhour for drivers, and then realizing you had it set to MASTER instead of SLAVE
...son of a bitch...

If the purpose of getting a credit card is to purchase things and build credit, then it surely cannot be the inverse, which is not paying the bill and sabotaging your credit.

People who declare themselves teh king of Wisconsin. What would Doyle have to say about that?

Just kidding. I'll remember to bow in your general direction when I'm working in Grantsburg tomorrow ;D

But really, I'd have to say one of my biggest peeves is people using spreadsheets as databases. Or people who call any word processor Word, any spreadsheet Excel, any slideshow of any sort a PowerPoint, can't keep Outlook and Outlook Express straight, and say Photoshop when they mean Print Shop. Or the ones that think that Apple is called Mac. DUH! Mac is the product, Apple is the company. "Windows XP" isn't a type of computer, either.

That and the n00bs who call every Adobe product just "Adobe", as in "Do you have the install media for Adobe?" Adobe what??? That was fine for Quark, whose only product is QuarkXPress, but I mean, come the fark on!
I am an internet haxor. I haxor the internet. It's a pretty good job, million a year plus bennies. So, yeah.

People who worry more about what YOU are doing rather than what THEY are doing. You know what I mean? That shit just bugs me.
