Longest "short time" you've had?

[Patrick Buck]

huh. I had the same problem last week as well.
Odd.

anyway, the longest "short time" I've had may be the time I told myself I was going to go play mass effect 3's multiplayer for one game (about 20 minutes) then do some work.

6 hours later, I checked the time.
Whoops.

Well, I've got 2 instances, honestly I can't choose between the 2... They were both horrendous...

1 - I once got a friend phoning me while I was watching porn and the phone call seemed to go for hours. The conversation was awkward because I didn't pause the video and 2 ladies were grinding another lady right in front of me as my friend moaned about his girlfriend...

2 - I wrote 3 "critical" essays (on Black Swan, TGWTDT and a Maya Angelo Poem), one about violent videogames and a short story (only about six hours if you cut out porn breaks) and towards the last couple of essays I had a splitting head ache, an agonizing back and a stiff neck... What seemed like 2 hours of work left turned into what felt like a day... And my laptop was burning my crotch.

It seems to me that most of your problems are porn-related. Maybe you should put the brakes on it, you wouldn't want to over-porn yourself. Couldn't you just pause, and resume the porn later?

Well I say porn breaks. They were all-purpose breaks really, I took like 4 iburofen in 2 hours... Honestly, there wasn't much porn when I was writing my essays but I was a dumb teenager (I still am, but I don't feel the need for porn everyday)... But... Um... In terms of my friend calling pausing and resuming would have been... Well, sensible.

Maybe less porn related was the time I bruised 2 ribs after falling down concrete stairs in the rain, not being able to make any sound other that "kghigkkkk..." and waiting 20 long minutes for someone to help me... The whole thing was exasperated by the fact that, in and out of consciousness a bunch of 13 year olds stared, pointed and laughed as I writhed in pain... Hmm, maybe I should have opened with that story, it seems worse than head aches and awkward phone calls...

I dunno about "longest", but any time that's too short to do something productive in. Like, when you microwave something for a minute, but you can't go and do anything because you'll have to stop in a minute.

last week the escapist was down for around 30 minutes. your browser just didnt refresh the redicrect,

Really?

Goddamnit.

I had to work with one classmate who, lets just say, was not a good partner. I was just for measuring a small room but turned out with a home depot project with her screaming at me and complaining that I couldent do anything right the whole thing, even though she would do nothing to help.

My ex from ages ago said she would BRB while we were chatting online. 9 hours later I get an email saying she went to a party

Every single mmo I've played and my favourite anime's. 'oh its 11pm i'll just play/watch this for an hour... 7 hours later...well fuck the suns coming out.' Also in long anime's (this example being one piece. God damn one piece),where there's an episode that clearly states 'the finale of such and such a battle'. 4 episodes later it ends. Bitches be trollin'.

Also some people I talk to who say brb. Ok, be right back does not mean be right back in 2 GOD DAMN HOURS, literally followed by 'k back'. Profanity proceeds. xD

last week the escapist was down for around 30 minutes. your browser just didnt refresh the redicrect, meaning its about time to reinstall that beast.

Really?
It was 30 minutes.
Welp, going to reinstall chrome then.

Really?

Goddamnit.

oh, i did fell into that trap too. i refreshed for like 1 hour till i tried to simply go to the forums link becuase hey the forums may be on. and then from there i navigated to EVERYWHERE except that 1 article that i was reading when the server went down. then i saw others post in forum with similar problem and turns out it was browsers not updating info.
