Again, a game is grinding my gears along with my ear being clogged. I can't hear out one ear because it's blocked due to hayfever or some bull:censored:!!! I want to play Richard Burns Rally but can't because I can't hear the Co Driver OR the car, so I don't know when to change gear or where to go. Since I'm on a demo, I've got no force feedback which feels wrong because I'm used to having it there now. And most annoying, MY EAR IS 🤬 CLOGGED!!!! I just want to cut off my stupid ear because it's so annoying. It feels horrible. I can hear out the other one but it feels so weird. I could just kill something!!!! Usually you can pop the ear back and it's fine but no, it stays clogged for days sometimes and everyday I take another step closer to murder!!!! This is 🤬 🤬 me off!!!!!
 
Is your ear clogged from hearing your sister talk about bras all day?

Also did you try pinching your nose shut and trying to blow out of it until your ear pops? I usually do that. Other people pop them in different ways, I think. Also try chewing gum. That might help. If your nose is all stuffed up it might help to get your nose and sinuses all cleared out by blowing your nose and/or taking medicine.

I've tried the nose hold and blow, not working. My nose is fine at the moment. Thanks for the help though. :cheers:
 
Parents who seem to think they know everything about computers the moment something goes wrong with it and the moment you try to help they then blame the problem on you....that grinds my gears

Not if SOPA has anything to say about it. Forget decoding the Matrix, they will just shut it down for suspicion of copyrighted materials, since there is too much information to actually sort through it themselves. Problem solved. 👍

I don't know what flight tickets and SOPA have in common! :confused:

I think maybe you misunderstood. :)

I was saying that working out how to read Chinese, even simplified Chinese, for me, is like me trying to decode the Matrix. I requires knowledge of over 4000 characters to be considered literate!

Same here and it happens very often. Not just you. Me, my friends are all having this exact same issue... Because we're kids, young or whatever they can blame it on us with an excuse of we know nothing about this stuff and we're the one ruining it. What a life.

I would say 9 time out of 10 it's people going to naughty site. Not saying you are, just saying.

Steam has never caused my PC any problems.
 
Sitting at the train station, all by myself, on a rainy day, waiting for the train for half an hour. And it's cold, too.

Good think I've got my llaptop to keep my lap warm and me entertained :lol:
 
Nope never on the main pc. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem anyway. It's getting took away for a while(great timing as I had some college work I needed to complete).

That sucks mate! I hope it gets better! I can't stand that feeling
 
That sick feeling in your gut when you know that you have to something you don't want to. Something that will hurt emotionally, but it's for the best. It's tearing me apart. It grinds my gears.
 
For me, it's when people in games don't listen to the rules. They are like 1st graders, really. And when I tell them something, they don't reply. :grumpy:

Depends on where you are living, I guess. I'm not living in some rural area, but still, trains and busses quite often arive at least five to ten minutes late.

Also, from the station I was travelling today, trains are only leavin towards my destination every hour.

Se above comment.

We learnt in school they count them down to the nearest second. And people complain if a train is 1 second late.

I think you mean Japan or China. (China can confirm, the mono-rail is never late or early.)

I thought that was in Japan?

See above. And yes.

I know that. I've had that so many time through different experiences, I wouldn't know where to start.

All I know is that it's a temporary sensation and will evade you he moment you're not in that situation. Happens to me all the time. All I can say is "may the force be with you!".

Alex, *God bless you for bringing a genuine grip to this thread. 👍

*Buddha, Mohammed, Jehovah, St Paul or any one else of that calibre.
 
I was peacefully watching Barrett-Jackson for 3 hours straight when my brother woke up at 5 and now won't shut the 🤬 up! I just wanna watch the auction in silence and he keeps saying stupid crap I don't care about.
