Ever get this damn error? It’s a lovely feature reserved for those of us enduring blogger as our hosts for our blog. Now I shouldn’t complain about having a free place to create and store my blog. I should be thankful they make it possible so I don’t have to write html code to get it to look pretty and all.
But really, did these guys also go to the Microsoft school of useful error messages? You know, I don’t go to McDonalds and hear them say “I’m sorry sir, I am unable to comply with your food order. Please contact our corporate headquarters with the code XYZ4U in the hopes they will pay enough attention to attempt to solve your hunger request.”
No wonder people leave duplicate comments on somebody’s blog. Half of the time you cannot figure out WHAT is going on. Is it ‘thinking’? Did it save? Did I just lose that novel of a comment and will now not only have to retype it but also rethink it too.
I hate that!

When it looks like that's going to happen, I highlight and ctl+c as fast as I can so I can try again. I'm not on blogger anymore, but I hate when I can't leave a comment on someone else's blog because of that nonsense.
Hey! I do what Marie does!
Before I hit publish, I copy my BRILLIANT comment in case blogger eats it. Then I can just go back and paste it so everybody sees my witty sense of humor.
You’re welcome.
P.S.
If you’re asking yourself why I don’t fix any spelling or grammatical mistakes while I’m at it…
it's blogger displaying its passive aggressive tendencies
Actually I did get to a restaurant counter on the 4th of July and have some guy in a paper hat say they couldn't take anymore orders fot 10 minutes. WTF???Does that count? I think those Blogger boys just get bored at work and pick out people to fuck with at random.You know like "Hey, Fantastical Nonsense--good one...do him!! bahahahahaha"
A comment could not be left. Please contact the person operating this site and use the error message WtF-poS-fuK-42.
Yeah, what is up with that?? I was trying to edit my HTML code this morning and I keep getting a stooopid error message. ARGH! I mean, I know it is free and all, but still!
Blogger used to give me tons of trouble, but it's been pretty good for a while. Wordpress is better, though.
I hate that too.
I hate that too.
I hate that too.
Jeff beat me to it.
Jeff beat me to it.
Jeff beat me to it.
So... um... evil blogger is now eating our photos?
Is this happening everywhere? It's like a scary movie plot!
I like the message that tells me my "cookies are disabled." It makes me think of gingerbread men with missing limbs...
i am lucky enough to not error out yet, but i forsee a broken monitor in my future :P
I second your emotion.
marie - Yeah, sometimes I'll actually comment in a word processor and then just past it to the comments (when its a long comment).
bee - Come on, live on the edge! Quit playin' it safe... and learn to spell! ha ha
lime - I can't tell if its more passive or more aggresive...
blue - How hard is it to plan hot dog cooking? Yeah, if I worked at blogger, I'd mess with people...
kan - I know, nobody every contacts me for that! ha ha
jacki - Tell 'em so. Say, "we want better than free!"
kurt - Is that why you hired interns...to have them deal with the error messages?
jeff - Hate is a strong word...
jeff - Hate is a strong word...
jeff - Hate is a strong word...
iamnot - You should hate Jeff...
iamnot - You should hate Jeff...
iamnot - You should hate Jeff...
teri - Thank goodness it was only comments for me. It drives me crazy when it bonks on photos. Sometimes I have to use two browsers to get it to work...
megan - Just make sure it doesn't ask you to toss your cookies...
sarahm - I suggest the safety restraining straps for you...
alice - No emotion here, just rage. Oh wait, that is an emotion
Come on. You know you love it when your comment gets lost in cyber-space and you get that lovely message from blogger to let you know you just wasted 4.2 seconds. :)
angie - Imagine what I could have done with 4.2 seconds! Boogers to pick, earwax to remove...the list is endless...
It's frust
DAMN!
I've gotten that one and a couple of other error messages more frequently than makes me happy; i.e., it really pisses me off. It's the one that tells me I've had a psychotic break and disabled my cookies and they're sorry but I can't access my blog, that makes me go ballistic. Like you say, though, it's free. And I guess you do get what you pay for. Now, if I had to pay for this shit...
holy crap...it just happened...
omg

DAMN YOU BLOGGER!!!!!!!
Where did you get the watermelon bus stop photo?
:-)
There's an error in your error handler.
Yes! I get that quite often.
Want to start our own blogging company where the error pages are at least entertaining? :)
Blogger has been doing maintenance today and yesterday which oftern throws a wobbly!

I get some thing similar to that when I try to log in sometimes, it always tells me something about my 'cookies', at which I yell I'm reporting it for sexual harassment. But yeah like you said its free so we have to take the good with the bad.
That is why I am with the superior blogging platform.
It just hangs and says 'Are you sure you wanna do that?' and I am all 'Hang? Well NO!!'
Oft times I have cussed at my monitor, and that is one of the things that triggers tourette's type ranting. Cheers!!
I came. I saw. I laughed!
anndi - Ha! That's it, I should leave two word comments from now on. Less risk of losing everything. Faster. What am I thinking...I'm barely able to stop at a 100!
sj - Yeah, but in these anti-customer service times do you really think paying would yield you a better product here?
leelee - Talk about a coinky dink!
chris - I search far and wide for the utterly useless photo material so you don't have to!
justacoolcat - Who said somebody could handle my errors in the first place? I'll do what I like with my errors, thank you...
offended - You're on! Well, except for that work related stuff of running a business and such. But creating entertaining error messages would be fun...
quickroute - Maintenance? What is this place, a house? Is the paint chipping?
alex - We've been discussing your cookies in secret here for years...
kelley - I don't like to be too superior; people then expect you to do something. I like to set the bar at zero...then it's possible to over achieve!
matt-man - Ha! How old is that disease? Perhaps computers is where it all started....
nyd - I read, I laughed, I responded. I could do this kind of format ALL DAY! ha ha
*shrug* It is frustrating, but like you said, at least Blogger is easy to deal with.
Actually, it was fucking up here with photos, too. But they musta come back before you returned! :)
mj - We learn our tricks dealing with it like saving before we submit.
teri - Messing with the photos is the worst; many of my posts need that.
This just happened to me. I was doing something rare and communicating my softer side on a sentimental post and then blogger ated the whole dang thing before I could even do the highlight ctl+c trick.
My second go-round I just gave a generic 'This post was great. It really made me think' comment which I hate because I try to have comments imbibed with original thought at all times. Whatever, blogger. Whatever.
elastic - Ha! That's what you get for revealing the softer side! All they do is barbeque it!
AMEN! The whole copy idea is brilliant. I am so glad someone is thinking. Thanks Bee.
