Things That Annoy You

I'm trying to use the NCBI site to generate a distance tree of results for this genome. Buuuuuut, the teacher wants the tree collapsed to a degree, and the javascript is so broken on the NCBI site that it doesnt allow you to collapse, its a piece of shit

Word.   I hate it when broken crap doesn't live up to what you want to use it for.   Then you just have to work as best you can with what you have.   Reminds me of when I had to do some photomanipulation using Corel Photo Paint.   Think of it as Photoshop, but with only 10% of the usefulness. 
Truth be told though I've always had sort of a gift of working at least decently with crappy stuff.   Comes from being po'.
EDIT:  Coming from the other thread I recently posted in; maybe that's why I liked Classic Doctor Who so much.  It's a perfect example of trying your best with what you have.

My prescription was supposed to contain 60 pills, but it only had 30. I went to the drug store and explained this to the pharmacist, and he turned around and dumped 30 more pills in the bottle. I'm glad there was no hassle, but is it really that easy to obtain more pills? I'll never abuse prescription drugs, but if that's the standard procedure for such a thing, then it's pretty freaking easy for other people to abuse them.

It's probably not, but you happened to find someone who didn't feel like dealing with procedure. Many, many cases of apparent "corruption" or "bad systems" are just people who don't want to deal with the hassle of paperwork and checking things out properly.

Does the postal service have to put that sticker right on where the address is, so when you take the sticker off it takes off the address?? Seriously, I just want to return this thing.

Some random asshole at uni kicked my chair out from under me and spat on me.

I thought it would have been a classmate, I have no freakin clue who this motherfucker is

I know that it's hardly any fuss to get that sort of service from the base hospital. It might have to do with how long ago you picked up the prescription.

One thing I do now is count my pills when my dad picks them up that way I can turn around and go 'hey, you stiffed me ___'. Because one time I was short about 10 of my daily chronic pain meds.

All the trouble I go through in putting screen protectors on my ipod touch.

So for about three weeks in June I have summer school...again, It's like I can't escape this place even on my fucking off time.

*Edit Also my house for the last month or so had a gas leak that I was breathing in and didn't know.

Pray that it gives you superpowers.

And that none of them are "super cancer."

This damn network has a two hour time-limit. I keep having to log in every two hours.

I'm in-patient. I'm not going anywhere after only two hours. Stop that. I want to watch Doctor Who.

That's always fun. A while back the uni network went down and the backup would want you to log in again every 40 minutes. Boy, was that a fucking barrel of laughs.

[Shane for Wax]

Eugh. 40 minutes. I mean, I get it. First world problem and all but it's kind of ridiculous to have a time limit especially when you can just hop right back on like 5 seconds later. What's the point? Hope it becomes too much of a hassle for leechers?

[Art Vandelay]

The only reason I can think of is to discourage you from using it any more than you have to, or at the very least make sure you go back to the main network once it's sorted. I'm probably wrong though, since I know fuck all about this sort of thing.

[Distind]

Going of dealing a network at work, it's almost certainly to stop torrenters from just leaving it on and killing their bandwidth.
