Tiny Moments of Stupidity and Woe

Oh yes >=( If I were more outgoing, I would continue to walk straight into their faces, then upon receiving their stares say "oh whoops, I didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to walk on the sidewalk, you know, like everyone else" then go on an even longer tirade.


I'm sorry, I like to complain a lot:


On the bus:

- When people don't move to the back of the bus. This really angers me excessively. It's as if they're scared of sitting, let alone merely standing at the back of the bus. They'll clutter up the front in hopes that the bus driver will give up and just go, when 2/3rds of the back aisle space is completely open. It just wastes time since the bus drivers are then forced to yell "move to the back of the bus!" and 5-7 minutes is spent because of stupid people who grumble or inch backwards at the slowest rate possible.

- When people ring the bell to stop, after you or someone else has already rung it. It's as if you didn't pull it or do it right, they couldn't see the bright red sign saying "stop requested", they couldn't hear the loud "ding!" sound, and that the bus won't stop if they don't do it. Sometimes people just continue to pull it aimlessly then almost shout at the driver for their own ignorance.

- When people (mostly guys) take up two or more seats because they spread their legs wide open as if they'd crush their privates by sitting like a normal person. There's no need to block space like that at all.

- When people at the front don't offer their seats to older people. I can understand if the old person wasn't very feeble or if they already said "no thanks", but if you see struggling old ladies with lots of bags inching their way forward, you could at least offer.


At School:

- Cell phones on during lectures. I can understand the odd forgetting, maybe once a month. If it happens more than once in a class or repeatedly, I really just cringe. You could at least set it to vibrate instead of letting the world hear your latest CPop/KPop ringer when your friends call you during class. Nothing could be so urgent that you absolutely must hear it in class and disturb everyone else. It just strikes of superficiality. On that note, picking it up and talking in class is even worse!

- People that complain after a test that none of the material was on it and subsequently that the prof sucks, when it was clearly there and you know they didn't even skim the notes/text or attend lectures.

- People who don't hold the door. Uni already has very congested halls every 50-60 minutes, so it just irks me a bit when people slide through the doors and let it slam on the the faces of people behind them. I know I'm sometimes tired of holding every single door, but thinking about it from someone else's perspective, I wouldn't want a door closing in on me, or have to reopen it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
