The scene: A Finance midterm.
The plot: There I was spending forever trying to figure out a problem and then WHAM! I figure out how to do it and realize it's not that hard. But I'm down to the final 2 minutes so I'm writing furiously trying to get everything down... 1 minute left, and I'm just about finished with part a, if I get part a, part b would take me about 30 seconds... and then TIME RAN OUT!! Right before I finished part A, Right before I would've finished Part B. AND DANGIT! I only needed another minute, literally. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm just frusterated with everything and everyone in my life. My new, official motto is:
"Stupid People Suck,"
I'm just so sick of stupid people, it's not even funny.

Yes, stupid people definetly suck. Last week and friend of mine was really downing my spirits with his complaining, it was getting so frustrating! he'd made this really stupid decision, and things didn't turn out the way he ha expected, which yeah sucks, but he was acting like it wasn't his fault, and it was really bugging me. And then this other guy, who is nice, but a pain a lot too, decides to go in his "i'll be an ass" mode, which didn't help things. I had a test last week, for Economics, and I was doing well on it, but then I came upon a few questions that just totally had me stumped. I know that I knew how to figure it out, or at least I did, but for the life of me I couldn't remember anything concerning the questions. It was so frustrating for like 5 minutes, wasting test time, as I tried to figure out what I couldn't remember. It happened again later, man was I glad when that test was finally over!

I'm frustrated at TNN. From ruining The Godfather to showing Star Trek WAY too often, they make me sick. If not for WWF Raw and Mad Tv, I wouldn't watch the channel at all.

I bid for two Terk TV antennas on E-bay last week (I just started), and I was outbid on all three of the antennas that I wanted) :mad: :mad:
$50 for a Terk TV-25 antenna at my local Best Buy isn't sounding so expensive after all! :mad: :mad:

*Televised sporting events. My idiot brothers are watching too many lately. I'm getting shafted out of all my favorite shows. I'm slowly losing control of the TV, and the only way I know to get back is through hitting and screaming, but I don't feel like doing that.
*My sister-in-law. She left last month and has taken the baby with her. It seems my brother's marriage is on the rocks, and he doesn't seem to care, which bothers me. I, on the other hand, have been considering resurrecting one of my old relationships, but don't like the thought of handling things directly, so I'm formulating a plan which basically will encourage her to make the first move and call me. It's complicated. To make matters worse, Becca finally decided to let Saliah spend the weekend with us, so she sends her over--with a cold. I've caught it, and now I'm utterly miserable, weak, sleepy, stuffed-up, and generally upleasant.
*My hairline is visibly receding. I'm only 26. How can this be?
*I've been trying to sell a story for months because I need the money for student loans, a self-pulishing venture I'm looking into, and other expenses. I have failed repeatedly and I don't understand why. Somebody up there doesn't want me rebuilding my life.
*The computer inexplicably cracks up every time I try to play a CD on it, so I can't go online and listen to music at the same time.

Well, I thought that I had it bad!
What I really hate is PARENTS!! :mad:
They are so annoying! (especially when you have both of them!)
I'm saying that it's nice to have both parents but then they consult every thing with the other!
Like if I do some thing! My mother goes and tells my dad when I'm in my room (which has paper walls!) thinking that I can't hear them talking!!
My dad's favorite work it "E-Gads"! If he sees something on the TV that he doesn't like that would be the first thing that comes out of His mouth!!!!
If I get a slight attitude with my mother she yells at me like I'm sitting there cussing in her face! She's so wierd!
Oh yeah, If I'm watching TV and leave the room for a second and my dads in the room he'll change the channel! Then I'll get mad at him and try to take the remo and he yells at me. Then later on he doesn't even know what made me mad!!! He's an idiot!
An other thing! When I'm trying to do my HW, sitting in front of them, first of all, they ask me if I have HW! Ahuggggggg!!!!!
Then when I'm trying to work on it they ask me to wash the dishes, or clean the cat litter, or something that would take forever to do if I did it first!!!!!
There is only one thing that I can think of right now that I like about my Parents! It's that they give me my Privacy!!!! :)
I can also talk to them. But if I ask them a question while they aren't doing any thing and you bring it up later when the subject is need to be discussed, they have no earthly idea what I talking about!!! :mad:
Also If I read some thing aloud or I'm talking to then clearly as filtered water, they start talking in mumbo-jumbo and saying that I sound like it! Like Heck I don't!!!!! I can hear every thing that I hear and I know when I'm speaking in mumbo-jumbo or not!!! :mad:
Man are they annoying !!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: !!!!!!!!

I constantly get everyone else's mail in my mailbox (previous residents, my roommates, etc).
When I had a math course and I needed a calculator, I bought the cheapest one I could find (under $10) because all I really needed was the basic functions. Then I started my Chem class and I needed all that complicated stuff, so I bought the good $20 calculator. Probably should've done that in the first place, wouldn't you say? At least I no longer need any more calculators.
Yesterday I was studying for a Chem test and forgot my pencil and calculator in my room. I live off campus and there was no time to walk all the way back and get em once I showed up for the test. I had a spare pencil, so that was no problem, but I had to shell out $20 for the exact same calculator at the school bookstore. And I can't return it once I've opened it. Now I have two calculators. I use them to calculate how much money I've lost.
When one radio station plays commercials, all the other radio stations do too. Then they all play the good songs at the same time.
My mom and little brother back home moved into a new house with two rooms instead of three. I'm visiting for the first time this weekend, I think I'll be setting up a crude "privacy sector" out of the cardboard boxes that are currently full of what used to be my bedroom. I think my mom is using my old desk to work on gourd crafts in the patio.
Speaking of good ol' mom, here's a funny story. She would never let me use her car to go to Walgreens whenever I wanted to get anything. Her excuses were brilliant: "No, it's nighttime," or "No, if you get into a wreck I won't be able to drive to work," or "No, it's daytime." One day I came home and she was sick and told me to go to Walgreens to refill her prescription. While there, I locked myself out of the car.

I finally caved in and purchased the $50 Terk TV-25 antenna at my local Best Buy. I can pick up a few UHF stations from Binghamton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with it from my bedroom window, and I can get E!, BET, and Lifetime when I use it in the living room...

How about this?
In chemistry, we just turned in a lab worth more points than we've had a chance to earn in the past 2 months. Seriously.
It was a 110 point lab against a 75 point marking period.
My grade/internet/tv hangs in the balance of one lab. Ugh.
I don't know how you college boys/girls do it.

I have something to add to this!
My mother bought an MP3 player ( well taking you back)
We were in the car and I had my player! Well we were talking about getting an anti skip player for me and that is when my mother suggested an MP3 player instead!
We went to Wal-Mart and looked at them. Yeah what was so bad about this whole situation was that I turned down a DVD player for it and now, My mother thinks that the player is hers, all hers and that she's just letting us borrow it!
Man why don't she just give it up?
My dad is the only one who thinks that it's mine! (of course there's me but I don't count!)

I was camping once, and it started raining. Just so happens we had our dog with us in the tent (Pup tent) and when the water started in, my stupid dog jumped on me to avoid it. We had to rip the tent open, run through this DOWNPOUR, leave the dog in my parent's tent, and run to the car.
WARNING. CALVIN AND HOBBES-LIKE SCENE
We get to the car, and I jammed the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn. So I find that I've put it in upside down. MY CAR IS THE ONLY CAR IN THE WORLD WHERE THE KEY WILL GO IN, BUT NOT COME BACK OUT IF IT'S UPSIDE DOWN.
Anyway, I tried to get the key out, and it was cold, and wet. And all of a sudden:
SNAP!
The damn thing broke off right at the base of the key.
It was a long night.

Aside from my infamous hatred of journalists... hmm, let's see..
Lack of direction in my life. Very fustrating. I have several avenues to pursue at the moment and each are full of hurdles and a hazy future, so sorting life out is very annoying at the moment.
Do I continue with music? Do I go back to education and study art? Or should I study theatre? Should I stay down south or move up North? When should I record my album - where are my finances going to come from - can I afford it? Can I affort uni? Need to get money together for a car service...
Actually LIFE is pretty fustrating at the moment, thanks.

1. My friend won't pay me back money.
2. People online are dumbasses (except me :) )
3. Spoiled Brats who can't deal with anything not perfect
4. My science teacher NEVER RETURNING THINGS (story later)
5. My soc. teacher giving me a c on my report (1/3 of my grade this term)
6. I don't think I can go to a basketball tourny at the fleetcenter, which has my school's bball team (another story)
OK. Here's my science teacher story. We take tests every one and a while. This time involves a booklet in which we had to lable every muscle we've learned. When we turn them in, we forget about them completely. About 3 1/2 weeks later, he says he's corrected them, and will pass them out that day. He try's to get someone to do it for him, but no one does, so he doesn't pass them out. Now its been 2 weeks since that's happened. He does this alot, and it gets annoying. (also, the other classes have theres.
story 2. Our High school's basketball team has gotten into a tournment. The next game, the semi-finals i believe, are at the fleet center. (where the celtics play, NBA arena) I, seeing this, think that I can go if i ask my dad for some money, 12 dollars. It says nothing about not letting us go. Then, in Soc. , The PA comes on. "let me just clarify the day tomorrow. Bla Bla Bla all kids will be let on". I am very happy. Next, In english, the PA comes on again, only from our principal, the previous one from the interm-high school principal. "About the day tomorrow, no 5th or 6th graders will be allowed on the Bus without a parent" I, didn't mind, thinking everything would go my way. It turned out, my brother can't go and doesn't really want to go. I could beg him, but then I realized I can't go because my mom is using the car to work. Well, the only way I can defeat this is if I go with my dad into Boston, and walk to the fleetcenter. Not gonna happen. I AM NOT SPANK RIGHT NOW.
Your turn :)

I was having a very nice rainy day today... they're usually good, but I KNEW something bad was going to happen! As soon as I got home from school and walked through my front door, my dad said."Your cousin died today"
I know that now you might not see frustration in it, but here me out. My cousin was 16 and had epilepsy. They switched his medicine around, and his seizures got worse. They were going to put him in a chemical induced coma so that the seizures would stop occuring so often. He died around 5 this morning(4 where they lived). What makes me so mad about this is the fact that doctors should know the side effects of medicine. I'll get over this soon, but it takes a lot for me to get over something like this. I'm just happy I have good friends to help me through this..... :)

if it makes you feel better, when i got home once, i couldn't even turn the engine off cuz the key and ignition somehow got stuck...my dad thought i was making it up or something, so he got all mad at me and went to the car himself. haha, he couldn't turn the engine off either. i don't remember how he got the engine to cut off but we spent a long time trying to get the key out and still couldn't. the car was still running and i felt like a dork standing out in the driveway in the middle of the night trying to fight with the ignition. >.< eventually we got a whole new ignition, i lost my key and had to take it off the keychain. then a year later my sister crashed the car. i loved that car, too. sniff.

Just exactly what is it about those Terk TV-55 Antennas that makes them so popular on eBay? I put in a bid for one, and the next day, I'm always overbid, and then I lose!
I MUST have that antenna!!!
And if I don't get one soon...
I'll just pay my cable bill. (I may haveto!)
