Urine smell repels dinosaurs.
Jeez AEG, haven’t you seen ANY of the Will Farrell Land of the Lost clips?

When Fox execs cancel Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
And Firefly.
Had the same problem at my school. Turned out it actually was pee, as discovered after some drunken college kids were caught in the act of urinating off the stairwell.
The grass is always greener… Y’all who are complaining about the pee smell, I bet you’d be more miffed if your building were set up by T-Rexes.
SciFi - SyFy - Skiffy - whatever you want to call them…they annoy me sometimes. Losing Doctor Who?? Really?
And “Bottom Feeder” is the height of cinema excellence… :rolleyes:
Sounds like my first apartment building…
Oh…I thot that was a retrospective of the network’s history. My bad.
How “Life” is constantly interfering with my video game playing. :mad:
People who tell you they want to interview you for a job, ask you to please email them early in the week to set up an interview time during said week, then don’t get back to you with an interview time. Or people who commission you a piece then disappear when you try to find out whether it’s still on and how the fundraising for it is going (meanwhile you’re counting on that money to make it through the end of the year). It’s unprofessional, people! Seriously, WTF?
when there is no chalk in the entire. frakking. classroom. building.
Nice, clean chalkboards, and erasers. but NO CHALK.
(on a related note, I’m glad I checked my classroom out before classes started so I knew to bring my own chalk. My classroom-neighbors were not as lucky.)
how else do you think they keep the chalkboards so nice and clean?
Update on the chalk situation: someone has left some there. We are down to one eraser that, while it erases, also showers me with chalkdust. If I didn’t need to spend my afternoons working on other things, I’d transfer most of my board work lesson plan stuff to ppt. But I do have other things I need to do. Like dissertate.
But that wasn’t what I wanted to add to the list of things that are annoying.
You see, in the summer here, it gets very hot. Something that my in-laws didn’t understand until they were here is that it is not only very hot, but also very humid. So humid, at times, that you feel like you have to swim through the air. The air conditioning cools, yes, but even more importantly: it gets some of the humidity out of the air.
Spouse and I live in an apartment (which, to the confusion of many, I still call our house.) We’re on the top floor, with neighbors to both sides and below. We share a staircase with three other apartments. The annoying thing? NONE of our neighbors close their windows and turn on the A/C (all apartments have it). Even when it’s 90 degrees out with 75% humidity. Never. Ever. I can understand wanting to be cheap, but when it reaches 90+ inside, it’s time to turn on the air. This, evidently, is something that my neighbors are unaware of.
And it is annoying to me because it makes OUR apartment generally much warmer. Sure, we run the A/C and things get better. But we turn it off for 5 minutes and the temperature rises 5 degrees.
It’s only June. Sigh.
When you pass someone in the hallway and you say hi to which they say “How are ya” but don’t stop. I feel compelled to answer but by the time i ask “and you?” they are long gone. Why cant folks just say hi or hey
Ooh. My pet peeve is people on cell phones. The game I play is “act like they’re talking to you.” Because, otherwise they would be, right? My favorite bit was when a guy was giving his phone number and I repeated it as if I was taking it down. He kept giving me weird glances, but kept giving his number. I should have posted it in a restroom.
Ugh. I hate it that some geek and pop culture sites that sell things like t-shirts don’t have all the designs available in women’s sizes. Because obviously, women wouldn’t want to wear fun t-shirts.
Grump.
don’t you know that “man” is universal?!? by extension, so are his t-shirts
http://www.tshirthell.com/hell.shtml sells almost all their t’s in male and female as well as different styles… hope that helps.
An excellent suggestion, with such pro-feminist messages as these:
Yes, I’m sure that’s exactly what she’s looking for.
Y’know what really grinds my gears? people crossing the road, 100 yards from a crossing.
With kids.
They just stroll into traffic, stand in the middle waiting for gaps in the traffic, risking death, and teaching kids that just walking into traffic is a smart thing to do.
I’ll one-up the “stupid acts with kids in tow” premise…I drove behind a car for a good twenty minutes the other day, watching this twentysomething couple chain smoking like they had free coupons, before I had the opportunity to pass them at an intersection to see: a toddler asleep in a car seat behind them. Bad enough they can’t take a five minute break between smokes (and folks, honestly, if YOU smoke, that’s your thing, I really don’t mind) but to have one-inch cracks in the windows, and a cabin filled with the cloud surrounding the child of no older than two.
It took me a good hour to cast off that little rage party.
There must have been a very good reason for that.
Obviously, you had time-travelled back to the '40s, when cigarette smoke was still healthy.
