Frrustrration

Have you everr gotten so frrustrrated at something (usually
something intrricate, like putting cotton thrrough the eye
of a needle, orr trrying to scrrew them little glasses
scrrews in), so frrustrated that you almost crry? You stomp
like a child and almost shed a tearr.

Today I was trrying to peal a harrd boiled egg and rratherr
than the shell coming off in big chunks, little tiny chips
werre brreaking away, and when I thought maybe, just maybe a
big bit would come off, a bit off egg came off with it and
so my egg was getting smallerr and smallerr and the amount
of shell on it neverr seemed to go down, and I was heating
up and almost crrying thrrough sheerr frrustrration.

Is it just me?

I ONLY get mad over little things. Big, life changing
situations will hardly phase me... but if I can't beat a
fucking Xenosaga boss without keeping all my characters
alive to collect the experience, I just want to lay down in
the middle of the street and die.

i can really relate.. when..
my computer loses everything i've been working on, or
freezes up, or when i was a really young lad, trying to
build lego sets that were too advanced for my age.. with the
misleading instruction manuals, and all..
little things suck..
it's funny though, that annoying-assed "good charlotte" song
that talks about "little things" just came on as i was
reading this post..
please shoot me..

just STRANGE.

I get pretty mad/loud when playing capture the flag in Red
Faction 2.

"it's funny though, that annoying-assed "good charlotte"
song that talks about "little things" just came on as i was
reading this post.. please shoot me.."


For some reason, that reminds me of a time when my friend
blew out a tire on his car, flew off the road, and banged
his head really hard on the window. Once the car stopped, he
fell out and lied there on the ground. The radio was still
on and that stupid Jimmy Eat World song "It just takes some
time!" came on. He said at that very moment, he believed he
was in hell.

you should throw your hard boiled eggs into really cold
water immediately after boiling them. the egg inside will
shrink more than the shell. as a result, the shell is much
easier to peel off.

another egg peeling tip:
peel a strip around the circumference of the egg in the long
direction ( see picture) then the two side halves of the
shell come off really easy after that.

I fuckin hate it when I can`t find my keys before I go out
but usually i`m pretty mellow about shit and just talk to
the egg. Build trust with the egg. then it`ll peel away.

Being a mechanic i know how frustrating things can be and im
normaly under pressure or time limits . plus there is
nothing worse than haveing someone look over your sholder
while you struggle your ass off trying to get a bolt started
with your hand down the back of a hot engine in the pouring
rain .... AAAAAHHHHHHHHH *turns into the hulk and
smashes everything*

I got frustrated over trying to "get it in" and rushed it
coz I was well wanting it and then I uhh kind of injured
myself a little bit.

Npow THAT'S when you regret impatience.

Anus_Presley:

gently hit the hardboilded egg with a spoon, so that
the egg shell gets broken up..then hold the egg under water,
while peeling (rubbing) the shell off with your hand. it'll
come right off! :)

Nah I aint never get frustrated...if I were to be having
trouble getting the shell of an egg I would simply swollow
the egg whole, crush it with my spine and regurgitate the
shell out...I saw it once on a program about snakes, and it
works real good.
