Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

You need a temp ban for that remark

 

The delay between the time you turned in homework in an online class and the time in which you receive it back. My newest class though isn't just the normal separation of time, it's a couple weeks behind in a four week long class. I'm getting pissed all over again because this has happened numerous times. Should expect it, but nah. Not interested in that.

 

When im at the point where im debating on whether or not to get another degree, i read your posts and am once again reminded of why its a "nah".
thank you for bringing me back down to Earth.

(PS.... That sucks. Give a bad course evaluation. May not solve the problem, but boy does it feel good)

 

Ive seen Lance Corporal's by audis and F-150s on 1200 a month. They could buy it if they wanted to.

 

On the flip side of the equation, I won't tell you how many credit hours I teach or how many students' essays I have to grade, but suffice it to say that if I give a 1-2 paragraph English comp essay to all my students the word count that comes back might qualify under the SFWA guidelines as a novel.

 

YouTube culture. I like YouTube. It has its uses - like tutorials etc, but this trend for videos which have screenshots of some guy/girl with their mouth agape, stamped over a still from the video, and titles like “You won’t BELIEVE what happened NEXT!!”. And sometimes curiosity gets the better of me and I select the video, only to be left wondering (after scrubbing through the whole thing) where the part I allegedly won’t believe is.

And why, whenever someone has filmed a busker singing a song in some market place, are they always “Amazing!” - so much so they’ll “Blow my mind!” or, much like before, I won’t believe how amazing her voice is, when in truth they’re just OK?

 

that's the part of YouTube where all the attention whores are out walking the streets. Get out of the red-light district and go find someplace with a little more class.

 

I am in summer school and it annoys the hell out of me how the other students do random things to get attention. Ugh, like sit down and do your damn work like the rest of us.

 

Not particularly a Cleveland fan, but the Indians just changed their name to the Guardians, possibly the worst team name since Australia's rugby team, the All Blacks.

 

Watching middle class people spend top money on architecture drawings and believe they can claw the expense back by self managing the trades build and say it came in just over the original budget of X percent because the builders let them down...mmmm

 

The only major professional sport which doesn't permit public access to its rule book is NASCAR (the International Cricket Council makes its 'Laws" available in a confusing collection of separate files, but, of course, nobody understands a word in any of them).

 

Sorry, Formula E, but I just can't get into a motorsport where the cars sound like sewing machines.

 

Lol—what did I just see recently that made me think almost exactly that? Oh, it was electric motorcycles. These dudes were cruising around on what look like badass bikes but they literally sound like sewing machines. And I couldn't help laughing and imagining a scenario where parents give the kid a cycle for graduation and he wants to start riding with the local club or something, and gets nothing but laughed at. I mean, you could seriously get your ass beat.

 

So they race Singers now.

 

Bikers are funny people. My husband and I met up with a group to ride in Texas a few years ago. My dusty 1997 Virago 1100 floated like flotsam in a sea of shiny Harleys. We stopped at a roadhouse and when we came out there were a bunch of folks standing around my bike. Someone hollered, "Who owns the old Virago?" I allowed as how I did, and was immediately treated to commentary about what a cool bike it was. Go figure.

 

I don't think states should be offering cash prize lotteries for vaccinated people.

 

Goodness. What would one do with a vaccinated person if one won a vaccinated person?

Ohhhh. Cash prize only. Not an actual vaccinated person. I had visions of a sort of indentured servant who could go grocery shopping in plague areas.

 

Story idea! Yoink!

 

It's all yours, Iain. I make you a gift of it since I don't write post apocolyptica.

 

The fact nearly all manufactures of convenience foods aimed at men, assume we all want it hot and spicy. I’ve even bought TV dinners that say nothing about it being spicy, but as soon as you take a mouthful there it is, and the slow burn builds with each mouthful!
