The "Don't You Hate it When . . ." Topic
 

Okay, this has nothing to do with greek life, but thanks to the new chit chat forum, I'm not going to apologize. I saw this thread in another forum and decided to bring it here just cuz I'm ticked off today.

It goes like this: "Don't you hate it when (and you fill in the blank). I'll start

- Don't you hate it how, whenever you have plenty of time, you hit all the green lights but when you left the house late one morning you caught every red light from home to school?
- Don't you hate it when you are trying to load an internet page and you've been waiting patiently for 5 minutes and then you get an error message? Couldn't you have gotten the error message before waiting all that time?
- Don't you hate it when people you don't know and who aren't even very old speak to you in low level speech?(foreign country/language thing)

Don't You Hate it When . . .
(1) Financial aid mysteriously looses your papers for the third time. This cause a block in your record and you can't registered so you end up with intro to ballet instead of Research Method class you need to graduate (it happen to me)

(2) Those people (usually friends) who keep asking you to swipe them in during lunch time cause you have meal cards and you don't.
This cause your meal cards to expire 2 months before school end. (Again, happen to me)

(3) Found the perfect parking spot, to find out later on it was teh President's parking spot (didn't happen to me, but my housemate)

There are more, but I can't think of one right now.

when the financial aide people somehow believ that even though you were independant for the past three years, maybe the rental compnay came back and took your son or something, so you have to bring in everything but his last diaper to prove to them that you are actually independant

then they decide that they need tax record of every person you have ever met this year in case they actually decided to claim you somehow.

Not to mention that snotty one ( you know which one I'm yalking about) The one who should change her name to Ms. Honey, that's not our problem.

Down with Financial Aide, down with Financial Aide.....can't we just do it through a computer or something, anything but THOSE PEOPLE.

This isn't exactly a "don't you hate it when..", but while we're bashing Financial Aid..

Every administrative office at my school was in one building in the center of campus. Everyone hated dreaded going there for any reason. Had to go pick up your work study check from the Finance Office? After waiting in line for 45 minutes, they tell you that you have to go downstairs to Financial Aid and get some paperwork (apparently no one in this builing can leave their post for any reason). Wait in line for 15 minutes for someone to ask you what you are there for. OH- you need to go back upstairs and get that from the Registrar's Office... you would miss an entire class storming around this building!!

SO, here's a a little story (TRUE) about how things there work. The Registrar's Office is run by 3 older women. (No, they're NOT very nice). It's just a big office with their 3 desks. One day a friend of mine is in there waiting in line for God-knows-what. And he's watching these 3 women. The phone rings and woman #1 answers. "Oh, you need XYZ department, one moment". Woman #1 puts the caller on hold. Then she starts calling out to woman #2, less than 4 feet away, "(insert name here), you have a call on line 2". So woman #2 answers the phone. AND DOES THE SAME THING!!! She transfers this poor caller to woman #3!! All 3 of these women handle the same things every day, it's not like one of them doesn't know about something in that office.

There are more, but I'm sure you all have similar stories.

Ok, so it's not just me who has a vendetta against the financial aid office! I truly believe they were designed just to screw me over. Last semester was the worst!
Down with financial aid offices everywhere!!!

I don't mean to turn this into the School version of "Don't you hate it when..."...but...

For everyone who has ever filled out the FAFSA form...don't you hate it when the "envelope" they supply you with NEVER seals properly. There's hardly any glue at all on it, so you end up having to use tape to seal it.

Don't you hate it when ,during an exam, somebody, who obviously has a lot of freakin' nerves, decides they want to cheat off of your paper?!? This happened to me before, and as I tried to cover up my answers, the guy had the audacity to say (in a loud whisper), "I can't see!"
EXCUUUUUUSE ME?!?

Wow, listening to you all makes me really grateful for my college experience.

Don't you hate it when.....
someone knows that they are in class but somehow forgets to turn off their pager which happens to have one of the most irritating melodies in the world

And to top it off they have the nerve to get on the celll phone in class and call back the person who paged them.

I had this prof who actually went up to this girl who did this took her phone and told the caller that she is already pulling a "G-" in my class, if you want her mommy and daddy to continue to pay her phone bill, i suggest you let her pay attention."

I was LMAO, especially because with this girl it was SOOOOOO true

Don't you hate it when pple are driving and talking on thier cell phones at the same time! This drives me insane! I have seen too many accidents caused by driving while talking! Don't you have enough to concentrate on?

Don't look to the future
or dwell in the past
But live for the moment
and long it will last

Since the "dont you hate it when . . ." has taken a cell phone turn, to all the teachers (like myself) I ask, Don't you hate it when your students answer their phones in class? Geez, it's like here (you know what country i'm in), it's not such a bad thing to answer your phone in class as long as you do it discreetly. And 98% of my students have cell phones. Several times I had to interrupt class and go talk to whoever was on the line and tell them their friend needs to be paying attention now.

And since I'm at it, Don't you hate it when people spit on the ground around you? It's like the doggone spit olympics around here. I've never seen so much spitting in all my life. Gross!

Don't you hate it when:

you're driving in the fast lane and that sweet elderly couple gets in front of you and starts doing 45!!!! And you gotta be somewhere in like 5 min!

oh and to top it off, they didn't turn off their blinker!!! I can't stand that!!! It's like, "don't you hear that thing clicking in your car?" Goodness!!

back to Financial Aid--don't you hate it when it's 2 days before class is supposed to start and they STILL haven't disbursed your money yet! Then, to make it worse, the Uni/College is sending you a bill about how you owe money. Uh, if the freakin' Fin. Aid office would hurry the hell up, then maybe I could pay you!! Geez! Fin. Aid sucks!

I'm feeling all of ya'll w/ the cell phone/pager peeves. I was just taking a test last week when this girl's phone starting ringing. How annoying! It's like "don't even bring it to class if you can't remember to turn it off"!

Oh one last one about exams:
Don't you hate it when you just start an exam and then 5 seconds into it, the prof is like "uh, ok I have a correction to make..."
THEN, he does it again like 5 more seconds after he makes the first correction!
WAIT it gets better, then he says (5 seconds later) "make sure you all fill in your student id # on your scantrons..."
DANG, can I take my test?!!

ok, i have one. don't you hate it when guys burp and blow it in your face(ok, maybe it's just my guy friends that do that!!!)it is soooo disgusting-ewwww.
don't you hate it when you have somewhere really important to go and it's a bad hair day, but when you are just chillin at home, your hair is like perfect.
don't you hate it when you are talking to a really cute guy and there is that awkward moment of silence so you try to fill it in by saying something, but it is totally stupid and you can't believe you said it(happens to me all the time!!!)
don't you hate it when your prof assigns a paper on the weekend when you have 78399665 things to do, and the biggest party of the year is coming up.
ok, last one...i promise! don't you hate it when your class is way across campus and you have to walk there in the pouring rain, but the day before had the best weather and you just had to take like 3 steps and you were in the class.

Honeybee, I can totally relate to the hair thing. That always seems to happen to me.
Or when all of sudden, my friends want to go somewhere and get pretty dressed up, that's when my hair will be a complete mess! Ugh!

Don't you guys hate it when you paint your fingernails (or just come from getting them done) and you are so careful not to mess them up and then BAM, you mess them up! That just happened to me last night. And you're like "what the hell did I just touch!" That is the worst...

OK, these are really petty....

But I HATE it when:

There's bits of jelly in the peanut better. UGH! (My husband)

There's bread crumbs in the butter. YUCK! (My honey, again)

The cubboard doors are left open. WHY! (You know who...)

The soap is slimey because it was left in the tub. EEEEEEWWWWWW! (My son)

Someone knocks my toothbrush into the toilet. NASTY! (My honey and our son)

I know, I know......I've got issues! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

My boyfriend leaves EVERY SINGLE CUPBOARD DOOR STANDING WIDE OPEN. He doesn't even take anything out. It drives me CRAZY.. glad I'm not the only one who has to deal w/ these annoying habit Serenity http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Since we've taken the "significant other" turn...

Don't you hate it when men leave their underwear on the bathroom floor!!! Why, Why, Why! ***sobbing & traumatized***

Also, don't you hate it when you get a new hairstyle that you think is "the bomb", but now after you've left the shop, you've seen at least 7 different women (3 of which you work with) with either the same style or some variation of it.

why did I come in my house after I worked 12 hours and find a house full of (ok 4) people playing cards and he got the nerve tro say I was wrong for putting them out. S**t they can go to his house

But don't you hate it when you sit in the shop/salon all day and for some reason, she/he just can't seem to get your hair the way you want it? Then you have to go home and do it the right way! Maybe it's me being picky, but there are only a few styles that I can actually walk away from the shop and not change later.

Speaking of men...
Don't ya'll hate it when you get all frustrated when they don't call when they say they will?! Why do guys do that?! And you try so hard to be like "ok, whatever, he's not gonna call. I don't care". But you still wonder in the back of your mind "damn, why didn't he call? Where the hell is he? etc etc"

Don't you hate it when you order something from the internet and it never comes? It's like you never ordered it, no charge on your card, no nothing. I ordered a pressing comb (in a moment of frustration) from the internet 4 months ago! And nothing. (good in the end, I suppose, i didn't get one)

And then I ordered my airplane ticket from the internet last Thursday cuz I'm trying to go back home next week. Have I heard anything from them? Not a damn thing! Now I'm trying to get the ticket from another place so I sent them a message yesterday. And guess what? You guessed it, I ain't heard NOTHING!

Okay, breathe Nikki, just breath . . .

Got another one,

I hate it when . . .

People on the fast side driving very very slow. Personal pet peeves

People turning without signaling.

Back in the undergrad years, when you need to use computer for a paper, but all the computer are being used by people chatting away. (Really, really hate that. That is why I bought my own)

Being late to work, every stop light decided to go red.

Exact changes (NYC people, you know the deal)

Meter maid

This is too all of us working people. Doing a report for work, then being used by your boss to further his career without giving you any credit (I was going to kill him)

Slow modem

Those damn coffee machine won't give me my change or give me my coffee, again.

And finally . . . NYC Cab Drivers.

Although I don't live in NYC anymore http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif, I was born and raised there. My pet peeve is that I can't stand really friendly cab drivers. What is wrong with me? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

I hate when they try to make conversation like I'm some type of tourist. I'm like, "Hey, buddy what the hell is this...the Sally Jesse Raphael Show? Why are you trying to be all up in my business?" I'm saying.... Dang! Just drive! There's places I gotta be....

This thread is too good to stop -- its very therapeutic to know that you can vent (and know that other people have the same peeves)!

Here's mine - I am a receptionist -- which means I pretty much need to keep the phone lines open and running -- even though we have several lines, I can't be tied up forever on each call...so here are some responses I get from people that totally tick me off:

Me "I'm sorry, Jack's on that line, would you like to leave a voicemail for him?"

Caller "I'll just hold"

Now I'm thinking -- I'm sorry, where in my sweet little reply did you hear "Would you like to hold?" -- NOWHERE! I did not ask you if you'd like to hold! Especially not when each employee has a little flashing light telling them that they have a voicemail. Urrgghhh! Also, when I do put you on hold, and after 2 minutes, you ring back in and I tell you the EXACT SAME THING -- do not say again "I'll just hold" -- I did not say one freaking thing about holding! Get the picture!!!

Here's another thing....

ME: "Good Afternoon, Systems Incorporated"
CALLER: "Hi - this is John Doe with XYZ company -- I'm looking at my interval sheet for the quarter and wondering how the systems spread is accounted for over the past quarter. blahblahblah" and they keep talking right over me saying "I'll connect you with support" --- when they know FULL DA^% WELL THAT WHEN THEY PAID FOR THE SUPPORT PACKAGE, THEY WERE TOLD (AND GIVEN WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS) TO ASK FOR THE SUPPORT TEAM! I am the receptionist - if I had a computer degree to where I know what you're talking about, I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting here making pocket change.

And by the way - the freaking "I'll hold" thing just happened again -- GET A GRIP PEOPLE! I did not offer for you to hold for a reason!!!

Okay - that's a little better!

I hate it when...

• Foreign people look at you then talk to each other in their own language.
  
• People on the interstate (Speed Limit 70mph) drive side by side at 55mph.
  
• People won't let me pull out in stop and go traffic - It's just RUDE.
  
• A guy makes a "stupid female" joke and then says "Oh, not you - you're cool."
  
• 18 - Wheelers. Enough said. Or not - why do they get to go 300 mph and I get pulled over going 3 mph over?
  
• When people mispronounce your lastname over and over and over, even after you've corrected them.
  
• When you pass out donating blood. Yea - that was yesterday.
  
• When you are driving along and you see someone in another car picking their nose.
  
• When parking sucks and a motorcycle managed to take up two.
  
• You lose a puzzle piece.
  
• You lose a bet and have to do somethin stupid.
  
• The cable goes out at the best part of the show.
  
• Being called or colling a loved one the wrong name.
  
• Your cat has a hairball on your pillow right before bedtime.
  
• Getting all excited about something and then it sucks.
  
• Getting a tattoo and it's lopsided (not me, a friend).
  
• When the credit card company messed up you bill and you get a bill for over $70,000. (yes, this happened to me, and almost fainted)
  
• When you come home ready to eat <insert favorite food> and find out that your roommate ate the last of it ten minutes ago.
  
• Going to Walmart (aka Money Pit) and forgetting something stupid like paperclips.
  
• No toilet paper in the house.

It's been a long, bad day so now I get to vent! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Don't you hate it when:
- You finally get over the guy you've been crushing on forever (who didn't like you back http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif ). You start dating someone else who is absolutely wonderful. The guy you'd been crushing on forever now decides he wants you and has eyes only for you and will stop at nothing to get you. (this is some wonderful information I found out about today...I am beyond pissed)
- Road blocks. There are three lanes. In all three lanes, there are 3 cars lined up going UNDER the speed limit. Let someone pass you! This is very rude!
- How college students get the rep for being bad drivers when we have 90-year-olds on the road who can't see out of their left eye and who have chronic heart conditions (anyone from South Florida can sympathize with me)
- There's a parking space you've been patiently waiting for (you even have your turn signal on) and some guy who thinks he's a stud goes ahead and pulls his car in front of you and takes the spot from you (this also happened to me today..I hope he enjoys the mud I left on his front windshield)
- This is for anyone who has worked in retail: A customer asks you about an item and you say that you do not have it in stock. They proceed to ask, "Well, do you know if XYZ Store has it in stock?" Yeah, because I know my own inventory plus the inventory every other store in this nation. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif For those of you who have ever asked this question to a sales associate....shame on you! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
Ok, I'm done. I just had to get that off my chest. This was a great topic by the way!

ZTangel, you reminded me of one.

Don't you hate it when traffic is backed up a mile for "contruction" when the only thing there is a bunch of orange cones to block the road and three workers watching the traffic go by and smoking a cig. Ugh!

Allie http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

Something that used to bother me at work (and it still does but oh well...) is when it is hot as all get out and people who get to sit inside all day say things like "How do you like this weather? It's great to get outside in warmth every now and then huh?" I wish I could slap those people. Especially since the company had a policy banning the acceptence of tips. I was a grocery bagger and we had to take them out to the cars for the people. That and when they ask me where something is. How should I know. I put them in bags. Its their job to bring that stuff to me.

Once in every lifetime, you'll know what life is. Oh I need you, you need me, oh my darling, don't you see? The Young Ones. Darling we're The Young Ones. The Young Ones. Shouldn't be afraid! To live. To love. There's a song to be sung. 'Cause we may not be The Young Ones for very long!!!

I am just laughing my ass off here, because I FEEL THE SAME WAY!! I thought I was just a beotch! I did this to a NYC cab driver once when I was home from school. I was picked up at Penn Station and he starts chatting away! He asks me, "So, how old are you?" I go "90!" He says "You look more like 20.." He thought I was SERIOUS!!! I finally just asked him to just drive. Then, last year, I was on my way to the airport and this cabdriver was one of the worst! First, he is 1 hour late, he smells like dirt underarm, he comes upstairs to get my bag (which he didn't want to do) and asks me if he could use my bathroom because he was diabetic! I felt a little bad, but was not going to let a stranger in my house. Instead, on our next stop, my travel companion let him use the bathroom at our office. Then, he asks me what I do, I lie, he asks me something about that field, I told him I lied and COULD YOU JUST DRIVE?? I was not in the mood to chit chat with a man who made me miss my plane!

! First, he is 1 hour late, he smells like dirt underarm...
[/B][/QUOTE]

LMAO! Dirt underarm. That's right up there with "Mad Shakey Crazy" I herd at the chapter meeting tonight. Not sure what it means...

I LOVE THIS TOPIC! Don't you hate it when:

*customers are ruse to you just because they had a shi**y day

*people chew with their mouths open or schmack their food (and I spelled that right SCHMACK , the food is all juicy and slimy in their mouths, some of it is it the corner of their mouths!!!!UUUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)

*people who cannot hold utensils right

*people (especially women...sorry, but it's true!) who order food with no oil, dressing on the side, no butter, blah blah blah: WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO OUT TO DINNER THEN? STAY YOUR ASS HOME AND MAKE IT YOURSELF!!!

*people who swerve in and out of traffic like maniacs and DON'T GET CAUGHT BY THE COPS!

*people who are pretentious cell phone users. By this I mean teens and insecure freaks who use the phone to carry on a conversation about NOTHING INTERESTING, but make sure everyone SEES and HEARS them on a CELL PHONE!! OOOOOO, I'm soooooo NOT impressed!!!

*monkeys are used in commercials (I cannot explain this, I JUST HATE MONKEYS!!!)

*when all the treadmills are taken at the gym

*when the sweaty guy at the gym doesn't wipe his funk off of the machine when he gets up from doing his reps!!!ACK!!!!

*loud groups of punkass kids at the movies

*people who will not get out of your way. I was at the movies the other day and these three girls were standing there eating for their food in the same line as people who were trying to order their food. MOVE YOUR ASS OVER!!

*when your order gets messed up at the take-out window. WHY DIDN'T I CHECK IT BEFORE I LEFT THE DAMN DRIVE-THRU!!!

*"No Fat Chicks " shirts! THE MEN WHO WEAR THEM USUALLY HAVE A BIT OF A WEIGHT PROBLEM THEMSELVES!!!

*people use the word "squirts" to describe diaherrea(sp?)

*when people spit or hack up a lung and spit!! GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!

*when people screen their phone calls ALL THE TIME! I understand once and a while when you are tired and just want to be left alone, but that really makes me mad. It's become a way of being almost mean!

This is a sort of hate it when, but I cannot watch Nature specials where lions, tigers, etc kill gazelle, baby deer, etc! I FEEL NAUSEOUS!

Why does that happen EVERY TIME I hit a stretch of I95 in Maryland between Baltimore and Philly? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif I finally get to the spot where the slowdown happened and it is somebody in a car on the side of the road or some isht like that http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif !

I totally agree with anything said about traffic. I hate when people pull out in front of me and then go slow -- then, when I am offering quite a few handsigns, they look at me like they don't understand why I'm ticked. I will probably be one of the victims of road rage - we have had a lot of highway shootings here recently -- there is a reason why I don't own a gun!!

And don't you hate it when you are running late, and the person at the red light in front of you, turning right (right on red is legal here as long as there is no sign prohibiting it) waits for the green light. Even if there isn't a car in site!! Urrgghhh - what color ink would you like that invitation engraved in?

I also hate when I am in any line -- and even though there is one line formed, some jerk walks right on up to the counter. I have actually said -- Oh I'm sorry - we didn't realize you were of such importance that you didn't have to wait in line with the rest of us. Usually I get a dirty look, but at least he knows that he's (or she's) ticked us all off.

And here's the biggy -- for women and men -- your perfume/cologne/eau du toilet seat is a very lovely scent for you.....but do you have to marinate in it? Must we all be subjected to your scent for hours after you leave our desk? This is especially rude at any type of gathering (funeral, wedding, luncheon, etc.) - no one wants to smell your cheap water (and you know that 9 times out of 10 it is the cheap stuff!!) And puh-lease ditch all those heavy perfumes from the 80's - light and citrusy is in now.

You know there will be more on the way.... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

That happens in Atlanta all the time. Traffic will be backed up for an "accident" and by the time you get to where it is, it's no longer there but traffice is STILL SLOW. Or better yet, the traffic people will be reporting an "accident" and you happen to be where they say the accident is and there's nothing there.

And while we're talking about traffic, can somebody please tell me...whoops, wrong thread **looking at the title of this one** DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN people won't let you merge into traffic? You're sitting there with your blinker on and everything and NO ONE will let you in. Finally you have to almost cause an accident to get into traffic http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

You were allowed to use meters?! At LSU you can get some pretty hefty fines for even thinking of parking at a meter if you have a student tag. To park at a meter, you must be a visitor, which means you need a visitor's tag. If you don't have one, if you just park at a meter without any hang tag, you will get a $35 unregistered, and then you'll get probably $20 if your meter goes over. If you keep your hang tag up, you'll get a $10 out of zone fee.

Once, my boyfriend was helping me bring groceries into my apartment, and he was parked by the curb with his flashers on. While we were going inside, a cop came up and started to write a ticket. We came down for another load, and we saw the cop there - he said nothing. He was just going to give my boyfriend a ticket. Finally Josh spoke up and the cop said 'if you don't want this ticket then move."

Parking is terrible at LSU. If you come to campus after 7PM there is no where to park. We have "overflow" lots which are commonly known as "rape lots" because of their lack of safety. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Part III --

Don't these people get it?? I did not one time say "WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD!" sheesh - they're killing me!!

Here's another thing I hate (which I kind of stated in the vegetarian post):

Being picked on because I don't eat meat -- here are common replies:

"Why - don't you know that God gave humans dominion over the animals" - uh, I guess my Bible left out the part about "On the 8th day God created Factory Farms so that the slaughter production could be significantly increased"

"[shocked] YOU DON'T EAT MEAT?????" duh - didn't I just say that?

"Do you wear leather?" -- sometimes - as far as trim on my tennis shoes go or maybe a pair of shoes -- but I'm so broke that I usually get the pleather stuff...lol! But no leather pants, jacket, tank top, etc. Not even leather in my car -- too hot in summer and cold in winter.

"[with disdain] You must be one of those animal people!" -- uh, yeah, I love animals, but I'm not some psycho who's going to jail for cementing myself in front of the Loreal office

And when they find out I plan to raise my kids as vegetarians:
"That's not right - they should have the right to choose" -- my fav reply "Oh, like my mom gave me the right to choose NOT to eat meat?" -- hardly! Then they say "well that's different?" -- whatever! My doctor even told me she preferred that children not have a lot of meat - she isn't a vegetarian, and all 3 of her kids were raised that way -- and *wow* they're healthy!

And I also hate passing the trucks carrying livestock or chickens to the slaughterhouse -- especially when you can see some that are already dead and hanging out...gross!

Sorry for being so long....I really need some work to be doing around here http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif!

Boy, do I feel You! I just use that cute little "release" button and all my troubles vanish!


The book return subject, I hate when you pay like $100 for a book and next semester they won't be using it so you get nothing back. That really pisses me off especially after I have already made plans on how to spend that money!

Don't get me started. I spent roughly 700 on books this past semester. I usually keep some that interested me enough to read the whole thing (for a lot of classes, we only had to read part of a book) or the ones having to do with my major. With that in mind, I go back to the bookstore...a book that had cost me 78 dollars could only be sold back for 15 cents. Needless to say, I kept the darned thing.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a prof requires a book to be purchased...but we only read a chapter of it?

OK, this doesn't happen much, but today I almost lost it. I have really curly, almost dread-lock-ish, hair (not ringlets http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif). It's just like that - If I wasn't deathly pale I would think that I had an African ancestor or two (or maybe I do http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif). Anyway, I was in a store buying some milk and I had on my letters. The check out lady saw my letters and said, "Oh, you must be in a sorority." (I'm thinking, oh aren't you A+ genius) and I said, "Yes, Chi Omega." She looks at me real hard and real funny - she stared at my hair specifically. The she had the balls to say, "Then what happened to your hair?" I almost hit the floor. Then I wanted to hit her. Sorority girls can't have curly hair? I was able to maintain my composure (Womanly always, sisters http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif) and just smiled and told her I accidently dropped my curling iron in the bathtub.

And the sad thing is that she believed me. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

This is for everybody in school...

Don't you hate it when you send $500 for books and only get 50 cents back at the end of the semester because the books are out of date http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

(Yes, I'm hot right now becaue my child psyc book that I just brought was 93 dollars and with our lovely sales tax the final cost was $101.75)

Prospectiverushee,

I had that problem too with books. Even worse was that most of my professors used a third(if that)of the testing material from the book. Especially when your buying like 5 books a class.

One more thing. The parking services at my school were 10 times worse than the campus police. They were like geshtapo and the parking fines were nuts. Like whenever your late on a parking meter. Even a minute over its like a 25 dollar fine. I got fined 50 dollars too once(fire lane) when I was unloading my stuff into my campus apartment. That was not cool. I paid though. I think its like 120+ dollars a year to have a annual parking decal at my school. Highway robbery if you ask me.

I remember the problems with the computer lab at school too when people jammed the lab during finals. I was doing a paper and luckily I finished it in time. Because minutes later they closed the lab while people were frantically trying to finish their work. It definitely paid to have your own computer.

OH OH OH! MY TURN!!!
Don't you hate it when...
*You have SO much stuff to get done but not enough hours in the day to do it in?
*You're in a hurry and right when you need it, you run outta something (ie. hairspray, gel, deoderant) or you snag your pantyhose?!?!
*You run out of windsheild wiper fluid?! If any of you live in a place where it is melting snow and the car infront of you gives you a car wash...you KNOW what I'm talking about!
*You try about a billion times to sign onto AOL and either A) It won't connect for some reason B) It connects at the slowest rate known to man OR C) You get on and immediately it freezes and/or kickes you off!
Nothing makes me more mad that that!
