Minor complaints thread (5 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

A few weeks ago I got knocked off my bike. No damage done and the woman who hit me was probably more upset than I was. This morning she showed up at my door with a very generous gift card as an apology, it is waaayyy more than I think is appropriate, to be honest I was happy with an apology and I'm kind of embarrassed by the amount. I wonder if I should offer to reimburse her for some of it, I don't want to be ungrateful.

Still though, it's for Jimmy's music in Walkinstown, and I've been drooling over some of the stuff on his website. Even though I wasn't really expecting to buy anything new right now.

I wouldn't try and reimburse her. If that's the amount that she felt was acceptable and you weren't hurt then I'd graciously accept.

Accept the gift.

Send her a note saying how much you love the thing you buy with it.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

You could even send her a picture of you enjoying the gift

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Get something and donate it somewhere?

 

[Jill Hives]

Oh, I'm going to that

You don't even like them.

In the nude preferably.

I have no feeling one way or the other, but a ticket was bought

So I'll go and pass judgment

Been walking around in a pair of shorts, in the sun last week and a bit. Consequently burnt my shins badly. Irish abroad wha'

All you have to say is "You remind me of Christian Bale.. (beat)... in American Psycho"

Wrap it in a joke.

Ive gotten, 'you look a bit like christian bale.... in the machinist' before. what I'd refer to as a 'laois compliment'. ie a compliment wrapped in an insult.

however, my minor complaint is that i had to go to page 2 to find the thread. wtF?

edit--actually..too big a complaint

The most notable thing I’ve noticed about Haim is this unique melodic thing. Their voices loooooove the 4th note (‘fa’) of the scale. They love to hit it, hold it and suspend it way longer than anyone else. The movement from the 4th note of the scale to the 3rd note — often deployed as a 4-3 suspension, Google for more — it’s full-fat, full-sugar. The richest dessert in tonal harmony.

that gave me a head-rush of annoyance

if anyone ever says someone looks like Eric Stoltz, you wait a beat and you say "in Mask!"

I’ve been told I look like a cross between Harrison Ford and Steve Martin and I’m ok with that.

You look like a septuagenarian?

Fighting the temptation to open the Fargo thread.

I'm watching it on Sunday nights.

Some tool has started playing his guitar at the back of the bus. There is an hour left to go.

Did he play wonderwall?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Did he play wonderwall?

No, he played the blues

Operated on this morning. The pain, the pain. I'm not looking forward to being effectively housebound for some weeks either.
