What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-25-2007, 07:55 AM

Awkward moments that arise when your room mate has a boyfriend and they didn't expect you back so soon.

Oddwen · 03-26-2007, 08:38 AM

I assign my inability to learn that I should not roar, scream or in fact try to sing or perform stressful voices when I am trying to recover from a sore throat.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-26-2007, 10:26 AM

Migraines. Missed classes. And this one professor who is demanding a doctor's note that I don't have because I don't go to doctors, particularly in the middle of the night just because I can't sleep.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 03-26-2007, 10:47 AM

Perhaps you should throw in draconian professors who demand doctor's notes.

Mithalwen · 03-26-2007, 11:40 AM

The fact that random, err random people decide to talk to me at random .... why this woman decided I needed to be told how to make cheese sauce with creme fraiche I don' t know ... but she told me...four times before I managed to escape...

Kath · 04-03-2007, 04:45 AM

Delays at airports. Sitting on the floor surrounded by hundreds of people and feeling hungry enough to eat airport food is not my idea of a good time.

Volo · 04-03-2007, 08:17 AM

Wellcome back Kath! Hope the trip was bearable.

I belive assigning friendly people with little social skill to be a slight overreaction. . .

(the same goes for lonely people with little social skill)

Uhuh! Even though it was spring there was snow enough and it meant we had gorgeous days which was wonderful for learning to ski and the trips we went on.

But I assign huge piles of washing up. So dull.

No she was scary and bordering agressive - and having worked with adults with learning difficulties, it takes quite a lot to faze me. And I am very kind and patient with say old ladies who are clearly lonely and am prepared to have little chats in checkouts and on trains etc... but being actually accosted is a bit different... and she went on and on and on...... I really was a bit unnerved

the guy who be short · 04-11-2007, 11:04 AM

I assign First Capital Connect. Along with whoever voted to nationalise the railways. I got to the station 5 minutes early, but their stupid new machines that replaced the perfectly good old ones wouldn't give me a ticket. So I missed my train. Then, when I got the later one, it smelt of burning for the whole journey. And, on top of that, the prices are exorbitant.

Lalaith · 04-11-2007, 11:32 AM

Nationalise? Privatise, surely.....

The clue is in the name of the company: First. Also known round these parts as Worst. They are on a par with Virgin for being useless. That train probably was on fire, it happens quite often to me these days. I guess that means I'm assiging Richard Branson again. And the wider First company, the greedy swine.

Kath · 04-11-2007, 12:16 PM

Whatever bizarre illness I'm suffering from this time. I thought it was just my wisdom teeth playing up again but I don't think all my symptoms can be explained by that.

Also owing people money. I hate it.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-12-2007, 06:33 AM

I assign waking up and seeing snow and remembering that this time last year, I was probably sleeping. But a few hours from this time last year, I was definately outside in a skirt and t-shirt, enjoying the beautiful sun...

Confound global warming and the fact that it isn't actually warm!

Estelyn Telcontar · 04-12-2007, 06:43 AM

(Pssst to those talking about the typo thread - we don't usually mention the name of the one who made the mistake; that saves them from feeling put on the spot.)

Well, I don't know if Feanor does, but I sure do. One of my greatest fears now come exams time is that I'll be sick enough for it to affect my performance on the exam, but not really sick enough to go to the doctor.

I guess that if you go to the doctor anyway he'll give you a note (though you have to pay for it, which actually makes sense.... discourages getting notes just 'cos)... but I'm not one who particularly enjoys putting more stress on an already overwhelmed system unless it's necessary... and a fever and headache is NOT.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-12-2007, 10:00 PM

I was not offended by what you wrote Lommy. . . .

Everytime I see that someone has posted in the typo-thread I just get nervouse and start thinking "it is probably me again". For the last 6 months I just chose to ignore the thread, but for somereason I decided to look at it again when you posted.

This just reminded me of my general dislike for the thread, it is not like I cannot see the funny in me calling Galadriel a cleaver. . .

Brinniel · 04-12-2007, 11:56 PM

-The fact that at my college one cannot receive more than three unexcused absences or you will fail. (And yes, being sick does count as unexcused...I think the only time absences are excused are for religious reasons or if you are hospitalized or something like that.)

-The confusing process of getting a visa. Apparently, I'm going to need one for next year, but I don't really understand anything about getting one. At least, I'll have another month or so to figure this out. Still...garr...

-Oh yes...and PMS. I think most females will feel the same way on this one...

BTW Rune- there's no need to be touchy about typos. It add charm to your character.

Finduilas · 05-27-2007, 07:59 PM

Talking on the phone, and phones in general. I never sound like myself, and neither does anyone else

. Terrible, uncomfortable things, phones are.

Rikae · 05-28-2007, 04:40 PM

The impeccable timing of computer, browser, DSL and/or Skype crashes. I swear, computers are sentient...and sadistic.
