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.

while we are on the subject of school

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?

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
