my vent! People (too nice of a word, but I am trying to be less negative) who think they are wonderful, but in the real world, they are assholes, just they are too arrogant to listen to everybody, so they think that people like them, instead of the real fact that the rest of the world is too fucking polite to tell these assholes that they are really assholes.

I did the dumbest thing I have ever done in my life and the only excuse I have is that I drove my boyfriend's (benzin) car all weekend and I had a really nasty headache this morning when I did it.
I went to put some gas in my (diesel) car on my way to work (and you can probably guess what happened). Yep, I put regular gas into the diesel tank. I drove less than 2 km before realizing what I did.
End result: Tow to BMW garage - 120€
Cost to repair - 1600€ - the fuel injection has to be replaced. Normally, they would not require it but, because it is a BMW leased car (that I will give back next Friday), it has to be done.
Ask me now if I have 1720€ in my bank account...
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

kitkat64, did you fill up the entire tank? I am not sure how much of those costs were entirely necessary after only a few KMs. If you still had a fair bit of diesel left in the tank before you filled up, you should ahve just been able to get the tank drained and re-filled. Diesel engines can cope with a small amount of petrol without too much damage. It is not the same the other way round.

@OG - Well, normally, that might be the case, but I had only 25km to go before no gas. I only had 250km before I have to turn it in so I put in 19 liters of the non-diesel shit. There wouldn't have been a problem had it not been a BMW lease car that has to be returned in a week. The dealership said 'if the car had not been started after the gas went in, then we would not have to replace the fuel injection, but, since it did and it's a lease car, the injection must be replaced and it is not negotiable.' Had this been my own car, they would have just drained and flushed and I would be on my way. But BMW will not take it back unless it has a new injection system.
I still do not know how I did it.

Ordered a case of expensive wine that arrived while I was in the UK. Put it in a safe spot when I came back since I didn't want to put it on the upstairs wine rack. Cannot find case of wine now.

Fear I may have set it in the hall to take to the cellar and someone snagged it.

Note to fecktard I share flat with who couldn't be any more of the wrong kind of german if he tried:
if you ever start repeatedly banging on the bathroom door while I'm having a shower and shout "Warum ist die Tür geschlossen?", I will eviscerate you. I will take inordinate pleasure in picking up the nearest hot object and branding the word "ANAL - LANA - ANAL" onto your forehead for the world to know. You absolute, complete, total, utter, unequivocal fuckmonkey.
I will glady pull your ass over your head to complete your anality. Your journey to the Arse-Side will be complete.
I'm in the bathroom, I'm having a shower, I want privacy, I lock the door. That's what we do in my country.
And when I'm in the bathroom, I lock the door and it becomes my country. No quizzical looks or "Häääää?"s when I come out, like I've done something wrong or strange in locking the fucking bathroom door, you moron. Get away to fuck Du dummer Flachwichser, saudepparda Arschmader.

German people...READ SIGNS.
My garden gate has a big sign on it saying to beware of the dog (in German). Do not complain to me when you ignore the big, full colour, written-in-German sign and come through the gate without invitation.
If my dog jumps up, knocks you over etc, then it is not my problem.
READ THE SIGN...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I want to go home and lock myself in the bathroom with a couple of bottles of wine!!!

OK, so I've got stacks of work to get through and a timetable on an updated manual to write which my boss is totally aware of and is pushing all the time so why does he casually throw a document on my desk that I should proof read for him that is approx. 30 pages long and consists mainly of text such as this:-
"The Software installation include at first the general installation of the system files to your computer. It is the following description item 2.1 Program files installation meant. It is for the different Window version the same and the second step is the driver installation which is for each Windows version different. Use for your Window version the respective section."

A friend of mine who is acting really childish/immature about something, she asked advice, then didn't like what I told her and is since acting like a beleidigte Leberwurst.
I don't expect her to follow my advice, but she expects me to tell her only what she wants to hear (obviously), and I am not going to tell her that because I cannot support it. And it kind of pisses me off that she is now acting like this just because she cannot take criticism well and takes everything personally.

Ah, I can't do that. I'm too nice for that.

I was considering telling her that I think she is acting shitty and childish andthat she should treat her friends better, but she would be even more beleidigt then I think, so I'll just leave her alone, and not contact her until I hear from her. She only reads things into what I say anyway (easy to do online). Maybe I'll run into her on the tram sometime, then I'll see how she's acting then (we live on the same tram line).

In short, I was in London two days ago and decided to buy a drink from McDonalds...and there was the Monopoly thing going on. I pulled out the ticket off of my cup and it only had '100,000' and some small print on it. Since I was already behind schedule, I threw it in a shopping bag and figured I need another one or two pieces to win anything...I was hoping i would get free fries or something.
When my brother showed me a normal monopoly piece the next day...it was only then that I realized i just threw away a instant 100,000 pound ticket - a one in three chance to win. Since I threw the shopping bag away somewhere in pubic trash at covent garden, I knew that I had just lost what i had never gained. Mother fucker, do i feel like an idiot. That is what you call a bad day.

Probably couldnt claim it, but still...
