The I need to vent thread

**Subotan** · 03-30-2009, 17:22

Woah, deja vu. I posted another thread like this today on the same topic. I'll just copypasta what I said.

Ok, so I go for lunch today and decide to have a baguette. £2 for a baguette, complete with turkey, salad mayo etc isn't bad, especially when you consider it's freshly made. So, I patiently wait in the queue for my sandwich for about five minutes. Then, aware that I speak quickly and have a tendency to mumble, I slowly and clearly, but not patronisingly, explain to the woman at the counter what I want.
"Can I have a Turkey, Mayo and Tomato baguette please?"
She then pauses and replies hesitatingly
"Uh, Turkey, Mayo and Tomato?"
"Yes."
She then spreads the mayo on the sandwich and puts the turkey on while I pay. Lo and behold, when I get my sandwich, I find that it is covered with lettuce. Now, I dislike lettuce, quite a lot. Which is why I did not order it. But, for some reason, I have lettuce on my sandwich. And I'm pissed off. Not because I have lettuce on my sandwich, but because I explained what I wanted, extra carefully, and then repeated it to confirm, and yet she still comes up with the notion that I want goddamn lettuce on my goddamn sandwich!

Alas, due to it now being inedible, I threw it in the bin. So, I'm two quid out of pocket, and with an empty belly.

yay

Dude you should have just removed the lettuce, or brought it to her attention. She should have asked if you wanted lettuce when she made the sandwich, but since it is sort of convention to put lettuce on sandwiches you should either make a point of saying "No lettuce please" or say "Could I have just turkey mayo and tomato on a baguette please?" I know it seems stupid, but well the world is kinda stupid.

Plus Cheddar, roast beef, honey mustard and lettuce is so much better.

To vent: I never should have procrastinated my two papers which are due tomorrow. I'm an idiot....

I am not allowed to brutally murder the management of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. If I was, I would be a happy man.

18 credit hours is waaaaaaay too much for one semester, especially when trying to lose weight, develop an adequate social life, working, and... uh. Ergh, it happened again, my brain just stopped working on me.

**Dutch_guy** · 03-30-2009, 21:40

I need to get up at 5 in the morning tomorrow, and this is supposed to be my week off.

"Today, I was walking downtown when a group of teens asked me for directions to the local church. Being a priest I was happy to take them. In my sermon I mentioned them and how anyone can find their way to Jesus. Later I noticed I was missing cash. They had pickpocketed my wallet. FML"

and more.

That sites priceless!

Today, I was at work, about to go to lunch. There were some girl scouts out front selling cookies. I told my manager that I would be using a different exit, and when he asked why, I told him that girl scouts really annoy the crap out of me. The girl scouts out front were his daughters. FML

Today, I had to go to my son's school for career day, I explained what a banker does and then I asked if anyone had a question, one boy raised his hand and asked "When are all the cool parents gonna come?" FML

18 credit hours? I wish I had 18, got 24. Working while at Uni is a strain though, decided not to this semester, I'll have no money come next semester, but whatever.

**Hooahguy** · 03-31-2009, 12:03

my grade is doing the following for our grade tshirts this year:
on the front: i am a student at [insert name of my hich school]
on the back: FML

Perhaps it's different in the UK because I've never heard of anyone taking more than 21 credits which you would have to be an idiot to do.

Anywhere from 12-18 is the norm.

**Rhyfelwyr** · 03-31-2009, 23:06

At my Uni we need to get 120 course credits per year (six blocks of 20 credit courses, 3 per semester), so I presume the UK must have a different system.
