    Default The I need to vent thread

    Hopefully this won't get locked, but i really need to vent. I'll be lucky to get a C on this exam I just studied for ass for. Lucky should really should be stressed. Schoolwork really ****** me off sometimes especially because I have little room for error in most of classes.





    Edit:

    This thread isn't just about me. Feel free to post anything you need to vent.

    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

    I can never seem to have enough money. Im always broke and Im sick of it.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    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.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    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.
