Remember Hanlon's Razor · 3:15pm Mar 23rd, 2014
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
Seriously. Calm down, nobody's out to conciously ruin your day. Mistakes were made, somewhere down the line. Doesn't matter where, or who's to blame, it's not worth succumbing to the ever-so-stupid knee-jerk reaction yet again. Instead, try finding out what went wrong, try to (help) fix it. Or calm down, wait for information from the other side of the fence. After all, what did the most recent episode tell us?
ahm, whats this about?
I would also like to know where this is coming from. Are you alright, man?
1948774 Numerous issues, but I avoided naming a specific one so people wouldn't see it as an attack and get mad. Lately, it seems to be a trend to whine and complain about every little thing that isn't in your own perceived best interests, even if there's a completely rational explanation. Even if that explanation is "oops I forgot to click a checkbox".
Also, I may just be extremely stressed, tense and frustrated.
1948774 It's about yesterday's episode of MLP.
I remember the daedric razor...

You know what I find helps when feeling extremely stressed, tense and frustrated?
Physical exercise! So, what’re you waiting for? The Thames isn’t going to swim itself, ya know.
*hugs, if it helps*
Here's a funny little story that happened to my dad. I'll keep it short
He was the head officer of his military division's vehicle fuel supply and distribution, and one day, one of the guys borrowed a jeep to go into town.
But it got stolen! They were military, but it was a domestic situation, and thus called the police to help find the car. One of the policemen complained that it was the military's problem, and tried to find the person responsible of the car, rather than the theft.
So my dad (who was basically known as their Robin Hood--he's freakin' awesome!) made a point by DRIVING AWAY the policeman's car while the others were distracted, and parked it in an ally out of sight. Then he acted surprised, and told the man his car suddenly disappeared!
The man panicked, and after a couple minutes of shenanigans, he told him that he helped parked the car, and showed him the location. Embarrassed, the policeman understood what my dad was doing, and complied to help with the situation at hand.
So when you guys encounter a situation, or are asked to help out, actually HELP--don't add noise and confusion by questioning, complaining, and placing blame. Finding out what had happened is not for those things, it is to find information so you can understand the situation.
Good lil' life lesson for all of you, with a bit of comedy on the side! S*** happens, and that is not something you can control--what you CAN control is how you REACT.
