And you have only discovered this, just now?
There's a saying here "Al te goed is Buurman's gek".
Pretty hard to translate, but it means something like "Too good is neighbour's fool".

Then the icing on the cake. This will get you chuckling, I'm sure. I walk in to my lab and my boss has an envelope with my name on it. He says, "Merry Christmas, everyone gets a raise!". I think, "sweet, maybe this week is turning around.". I open the envelope only to read, "some people aren't getting a raise. You are one of those people.". Wow. Really? Did they have to give me a fancy envelope to tell me? Couldn't I have just gone on without it, blissfully unaware of what I am missing out on? What a slap in the face. Screw you, Purdue.

Damn. In situations like that I think you should be allowed to kick the guy in the balls as hard as you can with no potential legal repercussions.

Scene ****ing kids. I literally cringe. This town's about 4 years behind on trends. In the city I'm from, scene kids get thrown down. o lawd..

I spent a good while imagining what would happen if I did. I felt a little better after that.

Sometimes I don't think even that is enough. It's pretty much enough to get the bare minimum of respect, but nothing more.

I really wish I knew what you mean by this. I'm sure it applies to my situation, but...well...yeah, the English translation is just not doing it.

Is there a way we can get this going? I have a feeling a lot of people might support this.

Anyway, I'll get over it. I just have to get through this week. Then I get a week's vacation to try to forget about the whole thing.

Why do some people insist on talking to me when I run?

Seriously. It's hard enough for me to breath already, so stop trying to asphyxiate me and take the hint when I RUN AWAY FASTER.

Its even worse when that's the only time they try to talk to you.

I hate it when people try to talk to me when im listening to music, I have to keep pausing the song i'm on, and wouldn't you know it...the song is over.

I know exactly what you mean! You think someone wearing headphones would be a clue that they *might* not be tuning in to what you are trying to say, but they just do they opposite.

EDIT: Also those same people trying to talk to me are running just as fast. What the crap?! Isn't it hurting them too to talk? I know none of them are athletes or anything, so how is that 3/4 into a mile, they manage to start a conversation? Am I just weak or something?!

I ****ing hate P.E.

Haha I was always confused about that myself. I just assumed I was horribly unfit.

Totally agree with this. Had this happen on the bus the other day, a man who I don't know from a bar of soap decides to start talking to me at the bus stop and I was not really in the mood for chatting. So luckily the bus arrives and I get on, he just so happens to sit across from me. I put on my music and yet HE STILL tries to talk to me, waving his hand in front of my face so I'll pay attention. To make matters worse and him look more stupid, when I pull the buzzer to get off at my stop he asks, "is this your stop". NO **** sherlock.

FFS!! My internet connection cable clip thing has bust. GRRRRRRRR! 1/2 the time i try to go to another webpage it doesn't ****in' connect and 1/2 the time I post it doesn't so I've got to copy everything I post to paste it when I inevitably have to do it again.
I'm going to get another on Monday. I should have got one yesterday but 'cause I'm not allowed to mess around with my dad's computer and connections I've got to get him to put the new connector cable in and he's got a ****ty attitude about it so I'm intimdated about asking him.
