“I personally…” “I myself…”
When you start something with “I” or “My” as in “I think” or “My opinion”, the I/My sort of tells us that it’s YOUR thought or opinion. Meaning it belongs to you. Meaning it’s personal to you inherently because it’s yours. Meaning you don’t need to say, “I myself” or “I personally” or “My personal.” We get it. It’s yours. You only need one word to delineate that.
These idiotic redundancies only make you look like some kind of windbag douche tard who thinks more words = smarter.
“I personally believe that I myself have a personal opinion that I myself personally believe myself personally…”
No.
“I believe” or “My opinion.”
That’s all you (yourself personally) need. Idiots.
Why do I have to verify my age to enter a website?
Seriously.
This applies to porn sites, too, but I’m mostly talking about beer/alcohol related sites and violent/M-rated video game sites here. For instance, I just went to the SOCOM website to see any information about the public beta starting today and was prompted with a three-dropdown greeting asking me to enter my birthdate.
Why?
Oh, right. Because the mostly-anonymous internet demands that I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth always and forever, so help me God, right? No one lies on the internet. Those 40 year old men pretending to be 19 year old horny college girls really are 19 year old horny college girls who want to fulfill every desire of every fat, acne’d piece of shit, never-gonna-get-laid-without-paying-for-it tools they try to coerce money out of, right? No one lies on the internet ever.
Duh.
So why the hell do I need to verify my age? Especially on an alcohol-related website. Am I going to get wasted just looking at your standard run-of-the-mill Flash-based website that over-does everything with way too much animation, probably really obnoxious sound effects and a million popups about whatever retarded promotions you’re currently running? Am I really?
I guess I missed the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/Internet-Beer-Tap-ROM combo drive when it came out. Damn.
You think that if I’m 18, I’m really going to put in a birthday that says I’m 18 only to get denied from your site? Of course I will: this is the internet! WE DON’T LIE HERE AT ALL.
Idiots. Stop wasting my time. Every time I have to verify my age, you’re giving me one more reason to stop using your company’s products and one more reason to start shitting in sandwich bags to mail to your corporate headquarters.

WE Energies’ customer service callback option: great idea, worst execution ever
“Great idea!” I think and go through the process. It ended saying I could expect a callback in “over an hour.” Content that I didn’t have to sit listening to same 30-second loop of annoying corporate propaganda for over an hour as I waited for a CSR, I went about my normal daily activities of doing absolutely nothing.
So when the call came 45 minutes or so later, I was pretty pleased. It was the same automated voice telling me this was my callback and that a CSR was ready to talk to me and it was going to now transfer me over to said CSR.
There was a click and silence for a second or two then:
“All of our customer support specialists are currently busy. We appreciate your call and understand your time is valuable. We are doing everything we can to get to you as soon as possible.”
Are you fucking serious?
The whole point of the callback was to not have to sit on hold for a fucking “support specialist.”
Take note, WE Energies Customer Specialists: you can specialize in gargling my balls.
The word of the day is “Server is too busy”
This was on my iGoogle page the other day:

I tried using it in conversation but I don’t think anyone knew what I was talking about and was meeted with confused, blanks stares. If you ask me, I think they were too embarrassed to ask me to define that word for them. They really need to subscribe to a word of the day and expand their vocabularies. Just like I did.
