I'm so pissed off at google. And palm/hp and youtube

1. I'm on youtube just listening to music. I stumble on a video where a guy used a atx psu on a mac g4 mdd. I tried posting a comment asking him where he got his wire diagram. Youtube then asks for my birthday (somehow my email was already typed in) so I accidentally put I was born 2011. Youtube then says "hey buddy you aint old enough now gtfo" so I ignore it and go on with my day.

2. I start getting a message on my palm pre saying my email is incorrect. I think maybe it wants the password again. So I type it in. Says it's wrong. So I try loging in on tthe computer and then I get a message that says my email has been blocked because google recently learned I am not old enough to have an email. I try sending a msg to google and they respond giving me 3 options. 1. Sending them a copy of my government I'd through the mail. (not going to happen. I would do email but I'm not paying gas/stamp/copy for an email address) 2. Option. Pay them.... Haha really?. 3 (i forgot)

3. The error message on my phone is bothering me. So I decide to erase my email address and just make a new one. I then check my contacts cause I get a msg my contacts have been updated. I f**king lost like 90% of my contacts! I guess palm decided it would be a good idea to sync contacts with my google email. But if I stop syncing then it just erases everything from google. Ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu youtube. And google. And palm pre which is now hp pre.

I guess I have to pay google to get my contacts back. :(

If you had put 2012 or later, I wonder if they'd have said "hey, you don't exist yet". It's basically the same thing as assuming you aren't even a year old, yet somehow you learned how to use a phone and/or type already. Sheesh.

If that's the case, the picture of the side mirror was from the Internet, not my car.

That happened to me with my Yahoo account. Signed up for it in '96 (they didn't ask for birthdays back then) and defaulted my birthday when they "updated" their software, to 1996. I use Yahoo for my various fantasy sports leagues (well, hockey) and had to create a separate account because I was "under 13". They flat out said they wouldn't fix it.

haha, right. Why is 2011 even an option and I wish there was a 2012 so I could say I'm from the future :D

how hard would it be to change the birthday. Or even give you chance to correct the info before just blocking you out. I wouldn't mind so much if I could get my emails. Contacts and other personal info. It is after all mine not google.

there is also a part 4 now. I used that email address when making my apple account. Well now I lost that too!!! Agh really wtf this is getting so annoying. What else am I going to lose.

My neighbor is a stupid witch. So now with parking I have paid for to live at my house I can no longer park there as it's a inconvenience to some neighbors because my rx7 doesn't run everyday. What is the big deal if I don't leave my car or use it everyday? The college kids next door whom are moving out end of oct have #two spots yet they bitch about me and state there's only one spot for EACH household. Really ?? I think I'm gonna be looking for a new place in a year.#
I don't wanna park my Mazda 3 there as I can be blocked in the mornings from leaving my home to go to work. Is there really a big deal? They say I need to move my rx7 because it doesn't move but on weekends and it's taking up a space. It's just frustrating.#

did you pay for 2 places??
if you paid 2 spots like most appartments allow. you can tell them where to stick it.

if you didnt then you have one coverd spot. and then usually there is spots uncovered that you can use..
and if there is NO assigned parking you can tell them where to shove it. because most apprartments have 2 people living there anyway. ie two cars.

Christi that sucks. Is your 7 in the way when your don't drive it or are your neighbors the type that think the car is ugly and diminishes the value of the neighborhood/Complex? I hate those kinda people. It's no eye-sore.

Now for what grinds my gears. It's nearly me standard bed time @ 3AM and well what has been grinding my gears is people who play games online. Especially FIFA 10 (Soccer). I've been playing as a 1 Star rated Korean team and playing against people who choose a 5 Star team. ....

Well, let me get to the point. When they lose they run to the xbox and disconnect it from the internet at the end of the match if they are losing. It pisses me off because when I lose I don't do that. By them disconnecting it voids the match and I don't get any of my points so I can't rank up at all. I HATE THESE PEOPLE! They do this if I'm a 5 star team to but more when I'm the one star. Who wants to get beat by a 1 star team anyways?

I can't wait until FIFA 12 drops in price so I can pick it up. In that version if they quit a match they get a auto lose and you get a WIN! :)
