Title: What frustrates you?
Post by: Captain Kirk on June 03, 2010, 04:46:07 PM
As part of some research for a class in the fall, I need to identify frustrations that people experience in everyday life.  I am not interested in answers such as politics, the New York Yankees, or environmentalists.  On a day-to-day basis, what frustrates you, even a minimal amount?

I would appreciate it if you could be specific.

Thanks!
Kirk

1. I get frustrated when people change their speed while driving just because I am about to pass them.
2. I get frustrated when people tell me what I thinking, since they are usually wrong.
3. I get frustrated when people let their kids annoy other people in public places.
4. I get frustrated when the internet goes out, but I don't get a refund or credit from my internet provider.
5. I get frustrated when service people are rude and have no interest in helping me, or getting my order correct.

Post by: Prof Underwood on June 03, 2010, 05:32:21 PM
- when the phone rings, but the person hangs up before I can get to it
- when my computer locks up
- when I know I planned to do or say something, but can't remember what it was
- when my kids try to all talk to me at the same time and ask for different things
- when my kids do something that they would have known better if they had thought about it
- when my kids do something that they did know better, and just did it anyway
- when people say "Revelations" as if that was a book of the Bible  (there is NO "s" on the end)
- when people say "I'm sorry" for things that aren't their fault, when they really mean "I feel badly for you"
- when people say "I'm sorry" for things they don't really plan on changing, when they really mean "I feel badly I got caught"
- when Hamachi looks like someone is there who you are supposed to play a game with, but they really aren't there

I get frustrated when:

- my bullet misses its mark
- cops get the last doughnut for free
- When the person in front of me isn't paying attention and the once green light turns red for me and not them
- I have to look over my shoulder every minute because I'm paranoid like that
- Wily Coyote fails to catch the Road Runner
- Tweety outwits Sylvester
- I lock the keys in the car
- Forget that the parking brake is on

Among other things...

- when people say "I'm sorry" for things that aren't their fault, when they really mean "I feel badly for you"

I am just wondering, why do you feel this way about sorry?  Do you want them to say "I feel badly for you" or just not say anything at all?  Wondering cause of something bad that happened today to someone else and I want to comfort them, and I get a little annoyed when people say sorry too, but I was wondering what you would say instead of "I'm sorry."

And something that frustrates me is when people cheat at games, and when people lie about cheating in games when you JUST saw them cheat.

God actually designed everything to perfection, and then put it into place. He didn't throw a nuclear bomb and have everything be created from that. And the bible does NOT say he created everything out of nothing. Not sure where you got that from.

Yeah God didn't drop a nuke like DRB said but the big bang therory is that it made ITSELF not a higher power made it. And man to monkey Evolution is just plain wrong. *Cue the old earth people Whom i disagree with on so many levels*

You're 11 (this isn't an attack on you *gasp* so don't take this one personally) you might consider going and reading up and looking up what some of the old earth people have to say. A professor who has studied and been around for awhile may just be smarter than you  ;) Also don't take all you're fathers belief (especially since he's a preacher of whom happen to be an extremely opinionated breed) and think that they MUST become you're own. Do the research look at both sides and then make you're decision on whose better. AND! DO NOT! go looking to something like Abeka history/science etc. go to unbiased research papers that give both sides. They're hard to find but they're worth taking a look at. I suggest a nearbye college library (I got lucky living 20 minutes out of Athens, Ga thus being 20 minutes away from the massive UGA library)

Well in my Opinion (this is my opinion) drb1200 isCorrect Genesis 1:2 states

And the Earth was with out form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. NKJV

It states right there that the earth was there. It was not just blown up and put there. That was before God said "let there be light".

People who ask your opinion but only want to be told they are right and if you disagree then they will tune you out.

People who won't answer questions in an argument. Just because the question seems off topic doesn't mean I'm not about to make it on topic.

Pompous people. Period.

I get frustrated at multiple things...
    Some are petty but I can't control the feelings that rise within me when they happen:
       1) Most revolve around people's driving habits (some already mentioned above) that are different then mine
       2) Peoples' imperfections when I see they're great potential or if I rely on them
       3) Little things out of place especially when I need them urgently.
       4) Inevitable children-induced accidents
       5) Being unable to successfully communicate with a child under 2 (I wonder if God feels that way with me?)
       6) my dog and his many habits I don't like
            ->related: being unable to successfully communicate with my dog  (Eden must have been awesome in this regard)
  
Most importantly:
    My own sin especially because I know better and I know it's consequences.   :(

God actually designed everything to perfection, and then put it into place. He didn't throw a nuclear bomb and have everything be created from that. And the bible does NOT say he created everything out of nothing. Not sure where you got that from.

This is all I'm going to say about this because it's now completely off-topic and irrelevant:

 The Big Bang Theory has nothing to do with a random large explosion.  That term was coined, when the theory was first brought forth, by a Christian scoffing at the idea.  Relating it to a nuclear explosion is a sign of ignorance.  The theory actually entails that the UNIVERSE, when it was created, began as a singular point that rapidly expanded into the parts of the universe that we have today.  Does this mean that there is no God? No!   Those who prefer the Big Bang Theory will/should tell you that they have no clue where the initial singular point came from or how it occurred.  They may even say that God created it.  When you think about God's creation of the universe, He basically created everything out of nothing; i.e. basically a huge, rapid expansion of matter.

 The Big Bang Theory has nothing to do with whether or not God exists; only when it is coupled with Darwin's theory on the origin of species, is there a true problem.  The word "evolution" and the true concept of it simply means "change," and yes, everything "changes" each and every day.  The evolution tied with the Origin of Species is that of one species "changing" into another which is Biblically incorrect.  Don't reject a concept or idea because it is typically coupled with an incorrect theory.  Instead, find out exactly what each theory entails and then make a decision.  I'm not promoting the BBT, but I don't see anything in the Bible that says God couldn't have created the universe from the rapid expansion of a singular point (Which, I might add, aligns quite well with God speaking the universe into existence, because it follows the laws of nature that God Himself put into place).

No more debate from me.  If you want to reject and completely ignore the BBT, that's solely up to you, but don't use misinformation in your arguments about it because it will only make you sound ignorant in the face of non-believers.

Actually I do really want them to say, "I feel badly for you".  In fact, sometimes I say, "I'm hurting for you."  I know that sounds cheesy to read, but when someone has just told me that their Gramma died, I think that they actually really appreciate hearing me say, "I'm hurting for you" with sincerity, much more than they would if I just said, "I'm sorry."  If nothing else, saying it in a way that is different than normal shows that you've actually put thought into what your saying.  I mean, how many people think that someone is actually praying for them when they are told "God bless you" after a sneeze?

- Power & Internet outages.
- Cell phones.  Everything about them makes my life more difficult, from low battery to no bars to bad audio quality to dropped calls to the expense... how have we not gotten good phone tech by now?
- Finding a solution someone's problem, then waiting several minutes while they work to find a different way to solve it, even though I just told them it wouldn't work the other way, having them realize that for themselves, say "Oh, I should've listened to you"... then do the exact same thing for their next question.
- The sheer volume of blasphemy I hear throughout my day.

Do you think that as a Christian we should compartmentalize our relationship with God or should it saturate everything that is a part of our life (including science and politics)?

If I'm reading JSB correctly then:

people who think religion has a place in science
people who think religion has a place in politics

can both be frustrating, but...

people who think faith in God has a place in science
people who think faith in God has a place in politics

are righteous and cool dudes.  ;)

how have we not gotten good phone tech by now?
["Learn to Appreciate Technology" Video]

I understand that it is amazing that it works, cell phone tech just lags behind general tech quite a bit.  I have a COMPUTER that I can CARRY with me that has a 10-hour battery... and my phone gets maybe 3 hours, and all it is doing is being a fancy walkie-talkie, if that.  I'm not even frustrated that connecting can take a minute -- I'm pretty patient, but it bugs me that it won't even connect unless I'm standing in a certain corner of the quad or leaning a certain way.  And those speakers are horrid... there are GREETING CARDS with better audio quality than my cell phone.

But fair enough.  I will be amazed the next time it works.  But don't hold your breath... it might be awhile. :)

I hope you're not taking a shot at a lot of people here on the boards.
 Because...
1) It frustrates me that a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is labeled and lumped in with all the other's world's lying belief systems with the term: "religion"

2) Christianity makes someone a new person and changes every aspect about them.  It penetrates all we are and changes our worldview to line more up with God's.  I will be so bold to say that if a relationship with Christ doesn't affect every aspect of a person's life then that person is not a Christian (EDIT: or a VERY immature one).  For "new birth necessitates anticipation of change."  Change of who we are, how we view things, and how we think.

I will always unapologetically look to my faith and communicate with God (prayer) before I vote or stand beside an issue.  
I think Science and God (and His Word on it by extension) can coincide and support each other.

I'll be praying for you man.  That's some rough stuff right there.  Although I haven't been where you are right now, I can somewhat relate through my experiences with the LE community.  That stuff's no joke and I respect you greatly for your decision; it's much appreciated.  I wanted to go MC myself, but I'm not physical enough to do it, so I respect, if not envy, you.

on the JSB note, religion definitely has a place in politics, because the people that politicians will be governing have religions. so you vote for (if possible) the one who you think has it (close to) correct.

as far as science goes, I agree with you somewhat, but our definitions of science are different. you can't "scientifically" explain creation. you can't "scientifically" explain a lot of things. I really don't rely on science that much. seriously, if you put History higher than science, it's been wrong multiple times.

Wow, didn't expect this big a reaction, anyway

1. I worded one of the statements wrong (late night posting fail)
What I meant was
When religion is taught with/as science (or as an alternative to it)

2. I stand by my statement, Religion has no place in politics, especially in America
Ethics have a place in politics but not religion

1. yes and no. they would get conflicting messages in every class then. I think that theories just shouldn't be taught in science.

2. I don't think that homosexuality can be proven false without religion. should that affect my vote? not at all. because of what I believe is true, I want others to follow the truth.

Luckly I'm somewhat passive so not that many things gets to me.  However,

1) Being late

2) Having a huge pile of work to do with a deadline and then my boss gives me another assignment.

3) People who harm my precious wife and wonderful kids (physically/mentally/emotionally/spiritually)

4) Seeming that all my efforts to get back closer to God usually fail.

1.) People who talk just for the sake of hearing their own voice.
2.) People who text constantly.
3.) People on bikes who do not follow the laws.
4.) Falling in a 3 foot hole when playing capture the flag at midnight with friends, in chest high weeds. (It seemed like a good idea, at the time. But I'm half limping today... :s)
5.) When nothing entertaining is on TV (which is usually 23.5 hours a day).

Could of fooled me, I mean your name is RED. I really get annoyed with rock bands cuz most of them don't growl or do anything really cool. Metalcore is the way to go (but you do have to be careful of what bands you get into in this genre).
