Pet peeves

I'm having a bad day and need to rant. Deal with it.
Here follows a list of things that drive me mad. Note that this is not a complete list.

  • People who steal your laundry slot
  • Lecturers who make assignments due on the same week that you have three tests
  • People who take up the entire corridor but walk really slowly.
  • People who walk really slowly in the rain. With umbrellas.
  • People who miss lectures and then think they're being clever by asking questions about work that was covered in the lectures they missed.
  • Being told that my subjects are pointless.
  • Being told that BA subjects are easy.
  • Being told that BA kids aren't as clever as BSc or BCom kids.
  • Being treated like an idiot.
  • Being patronised by people when I know that I know more about the topic than they do.
  • Just generally being patronised.
  • People expecting me to set up DC for them (it is not my responsibility)
  • People blaming me when the internet goes down in res (I don't mind being asked why. Just don't expect me to make it all better).
  • People who only talk about themselves (yes I do see the irony, considering this blog post).
  • Girls who wear clothes that are far too small/tight for their size (and I'm not only talking about chubby girls).
  • Being told that I only do well because my subjects are easy.
  • Being told that Philosophy is a bullsh*t subject (THIS is probably the worst one).
More to come the next time I have a bad day.
