Pressing Your "Buttons"

A few people can back me up on this one.

It's more of a theory a couple friends and I came up with this year. The theory is : People have one job to do, and they can't do it. Do you ever notice this? It seems to happen an awful lot. And this doesn't just press my buttons, it places a 30 ton brick on my buttons.

For example, at my high school, the counsellors are lazy ass pieces of shit. This may be extremely arrogant, but in a nutshell, their job is to make sure that they support the decisions of us students, and make sure we don't screw up our lives. Sadly, they fail miserably at this job.

My friend (Free.User) was told by a cousellor at our school that a computer course he wanted to take was a required science needed for graduation. Satisfied, he took it, and didn't bother taking other sciences, because they had no relevance to the field of study he chose in post secondary. Halfway through the following year, they told him that it wasn't a science after all, and unless he took a different science such as physics, chemistry etc. he wouldn't graduate from grade 12. Being a busy guy, he had no room in his timetable, so he had to take a physics course through a distant education program and will work through part of his summer completing this course.

This same counsellor screwed a few other people over, including me. He told another student, who had a 87 average, that he shouldn't bother applying for bursaries and scholarships because he didn't have the grades. What the fuck. He has an "A" average, and you're not supporting him at all? In fact, you're just telling him to give up! What an asshat.

And finally, he told me to not take calculus in college because his son failed it, which automatically means I will too. Maybe your son is just a fucking retard? Ever thought of that?

He even tried to force me to take courses I didn't want to, just because no one was taking them.

I think it's time to stop my bitching, so I'll wrap it up. People can't do the only job their supposed to do. This counsellor failed at every aspect of counselling and many students had to pay the price for his incompetence. That's what pushes my buttons.

...instead of bitching about it online.

For the record, asshat, I did complain about it to them, along with most of our student body. That's what presses my buttons, so I should be allowed to write about it in this thread without someone criticizing why I wrote it in the first place. Douchebag.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I apologize. He was just "pressing my buttons" at the time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just assumed you didn't, since you added nothing of that sort. Sowwy. \=|

No worries, It's all good man. But I can't pass down the oppertunity to call someone an asshat. :P

Anyways, I thought of a second thing that presses my buttons (yes, a lot of stuff pisses me off.) It's when people, especially teenage girls, take forever to tell a thirty second story because they either:

A) Get distracted easily and lose their train of thought.
B) Fill their story with unecessary words, such as "like", "you know" etc.
C) Go off on random tangents, which have nothing to do with the original story.

It frustrates me when I know how the story will end before they even finish telling it, and have to listen to them try to get to their point anyways. I have a 14 year old sister, so I get a lot of this first hand.
