Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Embarrassing event of the day

    Let me set this up by telling you about my week so far...
    Monday I dealt with frantic grad students that were stressing over their final and wanted to review an entire semesters worth of research methods in minutes. Then I had to put w/ a particularly dim witted and annoying one who at the end of the semester wants to make up FIVE missed quizzes. 30 mins each and wants to study 15 mins in between. As if that wasn't bad enough I then had to grade them all because the professor didn't want to do it. I tried to get my exam writen, but didn't get to it.

    Tuesday I had a long, long, final at 3 by the end of which my hands/wrists hurt so bad i wanted to cry (carpal) and turned in a 20 page paper I finished up that day. Then I finally wrote my exam, but it was too late to send it out for reproduction so I had to do it after hours in the dept office covertly.

    I graded some finals for 3 hrs, gave my final to 100+ freshman and sophomores for 2 hrs, and had an almost 2 hr long meeting w/ my thesis committee chair, and gave the final to the same dimwit grad student from Monday.

    So, 5pm I'm driving to work... I stopped at a light on green st. in pasadena that had just turned red. I put my head back and next thing I know I'm startled awake and I see this guy walking towards my car AT the light. He had evidently just gotten out of his which was stopped just in front of me since his door was open. He called out "Are you okay?" I immediately feel face getting hot w/ embarrassment and I said yes and waved him off. The light was red during all of this.

    Did I fall asleep? Probably.
    How long? No idea
    Did anyone honk? Don't think so, there wasn't anyone else at the light.

    I can imagine what i looked like with my head back... He must have thought i'd passed out or died.

    I'm lucky my foot didn't slip of the brake or something...

    I just want this week and the next to be over... Like I wasn't sick with stress before. I'm an even bigger mess now.

    Anyway, thought I'd share.

      She fell asleep.

      Siggie, that does sound like one helluva day. I would give "A"s to all of my students and tell the committee that I have a colon infection and will have to pass on the meeting. That should solve all of the problems and I would get some sleep.

      As for the falling asleep incident, it happened to me as well. Only my friend was driving, we swerved off the road and parked in the A&P parking lot to get some shut eye. She jumped up in the middle of the night thinking that the police is coming to get her, when I assured her that it's the A&P security, I didn't even know they had those. We ended up waking up the next morning and washing up in the nearest gas station and having breakfast at some haunted "Hotel California" diner. Dude, we women are dexterous!

        Oh, she fell asleep. You see, I'm completely used to the idea of falling asleep in public, so it's not much of an embarassment factor for me anymore. The worst is when you're driving, and you feel your body drifting off to sleep, while your mind is wide awake. Slapping sometimes helps, but not always.

          The worst is when you take a nap on your lunch break at work. While you sleep some jackass walks by your desk and starts a rumor that you're sleeping on the job.

          Now you're passing people in the hall and they're giving you a funny look... or are they? Have they heard? You don't know. Confronting someone only makes you look worse. Now you're a job sleeper and confrontational on top of it.

            I actually thought about napping at work and thought i'd better not.

              I went to meet this girl right. its my first time seeing her and all. I show up like an idiot in a junkie car, that I borrowed from my brother because I relaized that my motorcycle seats only me and I didn't even have a spare helmet if it did sit two.

              Ok it continues...

              we went to a restaurant and I couldn't eat anything because I had my tonsills removed and my throat was extremely sensitive, so I barely garffed down on some ice cream. when the check came I reached into my pocket and I was shy about 6 bucks plus the tip. I let wallet and all in the motorcycle glove box. So i was emberassed when she covered for the missing part. I was double emberassed when she said if it makes me feel any better I could pay her back if I want to.

              If i could have dug a jole and crawl into it i would have right there and then.
              I don't know what this girl thinks of me now, but I believe she's telling about this cheap guy with a junk car and laughing about it everytime.
              That makes me tripple emberassed.

                  I was kinda hoping you would say "but i knew about the trick and filed the cup with real urine, and he drank it" but oh well maybe next time

                    I have one....this was in a small armenian restaurant with me and 4 friends.

                    One of my friends was being so arrogant and so full of himself like he was trying to tell everyone that he's the best at this and that and that no one could top him off at it. So he continued on this rant for about a good 10 min.

                    I noticed some of my other friends (along with myself) getting a little annoyed with all the bullsh*ts coming out of that guy.

                    So when that guy left for the restroom, I filled his water with a whole bunch of sugar and dilluted it real good so he couldn't tell.

                    So naturally, this friend of mine comes back, and we're all trying to hide are laughs real hard. Eventually, he picks up the cup of water (after about 2 min more of his bullsh*t) and takes a sip.

                    He spit out the water on the floor, spills his drink, and almost manages to fall off his chair all at the same time. Almost everyone in the restaurant noticed and laughed at him, including me and my other friends.

                    That had to be probably one of the most embarrasing moments in his life, because everytime we bring that up in front of him, he turned red.
