Vertifly 0 #1 October 6, 2003 Kinda stressed lately with work and all. I was driving along in my car today thinking about some little stuff that aggrevates me. I wanted to start a thread that was called, "I HATE IT WHEN...", but it sounds nasty. Instead, I'm calling it... "I CAN'T SAY THAT I LIKE IT WHEN..." 1) My rig is in the back seat and the chest buckle raddles 2) My pay check that is coming to me tomorrow is already used on skydiving today 3) ... Try to keep it skydiving oriented because it is this the General Skydive Discussion forum. But if you think that you have a good one that is worth posting anyway, give it a shot.

dterrick 0 #3 October 6, 2003 I can't say that I Lie it When... ...my rig is in the back of a borrowed sports car (old British) and Lucas electrics conspire to leave me stranded without the posiblity of making the sunset load (happened this weekend) ... the plane reaches a very expensive 100 hour service near season end and the DZ decides to close early despite record warm temperatures (true story, happening this weekend).

Vertifly 0 #6 October 6, 2003 I can't say that I like it when... a) I get to the DZ and the Otter is taxi'ing out to the runway, it is not doing a back-to-back, and my friends are on the load, b) my future is uncertain, c) and the sunset is before 7:00!

ifics 0 #8 October 7, 2003 1) I cant say I like it when I finish my skydiving for the day and I know its going to be a full week until I get to jump again. 2) I cant say I like it when I have to go to work on a perfect Sat and Sunday when I could be jumping. 3) I cant say I like it when all I can think about is jumping which is every minuet of every day. 4) I also cant say I like it when my future is uncertain, but such is life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerozene 0 #11 October 8, 2003 1: When there are too many tandems in the ride and the regulars get bumped... 2: Winds just pick up when I park my car in the DZ. 3: Winds go down when I leave the DZ 5 minutes later.

When the plane lands after this load, it's already dark...... Sorry.......no sunset load...... See ya tomorrow! Grrr... Yves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeatlast 0 #14 October 8, 2003 I can't say I like it when ... 1. Despite being fully insured I always seem to get less than 50% of my true costs back when something goes wrong (Camera helmet / diving holiday etc etc). 2. Someone breaks into my luggage (3 weeks ago) !!! 3. The girl I LIKE wants to be friends !!! 4. I can't jump 5. There's so little money and so many nice TOYS !!! 6. My reserve pin fails its test On the upside 1,2 and 5 are only material things ... 3 and 4 are SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHEN THEY OCCUR 6 wasn't a problem except I had to go away for 2 months without my shiny 8 month old rig ... So I really don't have any big problems - especially compared to some of the things that happen. In fact I'm a SKYDIVER HOW MUCH MORE FORTUNATE CAN I BE ????

tinfoil 0 #16 October 8, 2003 Its already been said, but when a girl just wants to be friends -working 39 hours a week, including the holiday weekend, at a part time job that gets in the way of my jumping -online stores that take four days to process and order for something they have in stock -people who wake me up from the first sound sleep I've had in almost a week and wonder why I'm a little grumpy Hey, this is a pretty good thread “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports.

airdweller 0 #19 October 9, 2003 "I CAN'T SAY THAT I LIKE IT WHEN..." 1) My son shits his pullup and it's my turn to clean him. 2) I have to explain to my wife that 5 jumps in a day isn't really that many jumps. 3) someone farts on the ride up to altitude. ------------------------------------------------------ "From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn't enjoy a good sit?"
