YES, It IS really frustrating!
Today is makes ONE week trying to get bitcoins...
1) My balances now are just from free web faucets. They took several days to arrive to my wallet (so much for the "instant" payments!) and so small that the fees to move them are bigger, (at least when they are recent, I read somewhere).
2) I also posted an advertisement on localbitcoins without luck so far.
3) Right now there are more than 8000 "identities" before mine to be reviewed on mtgox, so I can't use that either yet. This seems that is going to take a month or more, slower than opening up a new company or business in Spain, and THAT is saying something!
4) Yesterday I was about to buy though bitcoin SMS, but when I saw the calculations; ONLY half or less of the fiat money goes to buy BTCs and the rest is keep by someone else... I refused to get ripped off.
If I am also "retarded" may be someone (anyone) "wiser" could enlighten me and tell me what I am doing wrong...

Don't get upset. Try to ignore people who comes into your way and post meaningless statements - it is part of the game. Get over it. Read my post above. I have been in your shoes as well. First thing you would want to do is go register at coinbase, and be patient. Continue your search for btc, but keep on trying at coinbase.
Good luck.
Thanks, but coinbase doesn't seem for me.
I live in Spain, and they don't seem to support Euros exchange or European/Spanish banks.
