What things bother you the most?

That happened to a bunch of us in junior high when someone stole a couple of the orchestra instruments: the security guards accused us orchestra members as being the thieves and tried to scare a false confession out of one of us.

Fascist pigs. :grumble:

Wynter, just give them a good slap...:beaten:

Sadly, considering some of my students, they might enjoy that. :shamefulcry:

Yeah, I feel that way when a cop pulls alongside me at a signal... I keep thinking he's looking for ANY excuse to pull me over just to roust me. :sweat:

Cricket bat? Eh? We're more into Baseball for SURE, but Hockey is where it's at.

Discrimination of any sort is really ugly. The cops here are racist against South Asians, and although I've never been in a cop car, I've had my share of uncomfortable moments as well. I bet it's a lot worse for males tho. :sweat:

Yea, Police officers, especially the ones who don't abide by traffic rules, are one of my greatest pet peeves.

Eeeh? They don't play cricket in Canadia, AFAIK. Maybe an ice hockey stick?

LOL! For a second I thought you were calling B-san an "afaik", and I was like "is that some sorta australian cuss word?" :bonk:

Nah...I take responsibility for my own actions. I follow common sense. I just don't like people telling me what actions to take. As I've said, the only people that can really tell me what to do is the person handing me my paycheck.

The worst offenders are corporate leadership and "professional" lawmakers IMO. Government should serve the people using common sense, not dominate them with useless laws.

I'm surprised I actually figured it out without posting for clarification. :mrgreen:

Afaik. I'm gonna use that word now to replace... ummm... how about s*it.

"HOLY AFAIK"

or

"Stop being a little afaik."

I think I'm gonna use the latter next period. :rofl:

Ahhhh so ka, but be careful with that one. Sometimes the people handing over the paycheck are the ones making us do things we're not meant/supposed to.

True say. One person creates a problem and they end up reassessing and changing the entire system for a problem that may never see the light again.

That's why I start looking for another job :mrgreen:. It's a two way street, I get what I need from them too. I stick up for myself at work. I've asked my managers point blank questions in response to accusations. They haven't fired me yet. :hehe:

Stupid afaik-heads :hehe:

They can't if you're unionized. And I'm glad you stick up for yourself! I need to start doing that more at work. I mean, I stick up to my senpais no problem, but adminstration is a whole other ball game. Sticking up to THEM will result in a really hard semester for me.

Stupid afaik-heads :hehe:

:hehe: :thumbsup: They definitely need a taste of their own afaik.

Ha! That's what I get for being lazy :)

Actually, an AFAIK is a small Australian mammal, related to a kangaroo.




..... no, not really :P

Fortunately for me, I'm a white male, so authority figures never dare to cross my path. So I have nothing to worry about.

Except of course for cranky old women wearing habits and wimples. They scare the bejeezus out of me. But again, my luck holds since there are fewer of them around these days.

I'm off. It's late, I've got a headache, and my internet connection is being atrocious. :usuck:

Night all. :beaten:

Oyasuminasai, Keps! Sleep all your worries away. :hehe:

On Topic: It cost $35 bucks to send a box to Australia and they wouldn't take vis, so I had to run, in the whiteout, to the nearest ATM which is located OUTSIDE. BAH! :banghead:

Vis?

If you mean Visa, that's rather surprising... :sweat:

Seriously, that's a bit weird....Visa is the most widely accepted credit card in the world. Oh well.

Except Canadian post offices, apparently. :sweat:

Nono, they TAKE visa, they just wouldn't then because the machine was done, hence me having to go OUTSIDE to an ATM machine. They couldn't take debit either. :shamefulcry: Gomen, I shoulda clarified.

No need to apologize....I just thought it was weird....you figure Canada Post has got to be one the largest postal offices in the world given the size of the country.

Bother? It's when you're angry at someone and they just don't seem to get it! Now that's such a nuisance! Dang, I'm pissed off.

Why don't you just tell them you're pissed off at them?
