On a less angry note.
Here's a list of fun/interesting places to go on this crazy internet of ours.
Customers Suck!: This is a livejournal community where people who work in jobs that involve a lot of interaction with the general public post horror stories about, well, the general public. This isn't the place to go to restore your faith in humanity, but it can be mightily entertaining, and also educational. A few days of reading this will teach you any number of ways in which you have secretly angered some poor cashier somewhere.
Neopets: This site is the best. You can make and name some cute little animal, sell fake things to real people for fake money, and play dozens and dozens of internet games. Want a ripoff of minesweeper? Play Neggsweeper. Want to play Snood? They have a game called Fairy Bubbles for you. An excellent way to waste time.
Internet Comics. So many internet comics. These are just like normal comics in the news paper or comic books, but free. Totally free. And really good. Here are a few I read on a regular basis:
Sluggy Freelance is like the father of all webcomics. It's got scifi and action and horrible puns and oh, it's just really great.
Schlock Mercenary A Science Fiction strip following the adventures of a ragtag group of space mercenaries. With like, hard science fiction. Very funny. Written by a Utah Morman.
Boxjam's Doodle Just...Magnificent. Simple drawings about a helpless family man. Like James Thurber. Acctually, imagine if Mike had a more surrealistic sense of humor and drew a webcomic. This is like that would be. There's baseball and liberalism and young children and everything.
exploding dog: people send in captions and this guy draws stick figure pictures for them.
Zebragirl Extrodinarily well drawn comic about a girl accidentally turned into a demon.
Well, that should tide you over for a while.
