Rant Thread

[Apollo Zabini]

This thread sort of goes along with the Proclamation Thread. Did something just irk you today? Haven't got anyone to rant to? We're here to listen. We just ask that you keep bad language out of it, as the site rules still require that we keep things PG-13 or less.

For example,

People think that we have a gasoline shortage in Texas, so they're panic-buying gas. In reality, the panic-buying means that stations can't fill up fast enough so it freaks people out even more. LISTEN TO THE NEWS. READ SOMETHING, PEOPLE. EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Is this a rant or a proclamation? IDK.

So I was just walking back from voting with my cousin and we were talking about fidget spinners.  I confessed that I can't use them.  I can't make them spin.  His reaction?  "They are literally made for developmental disordered children.  You are more unco than a developmental disordered child."

I've been working as a manager below the proper pay rate as a favor for my boss and now that I tell her my end date she's acting like I've made her life so difficult.

You know it is very awkward when one of your favorite foods consists of food that you are allergic to. So now I am so much torn between: go and eat some of it and suffer from my mistake or just dream about it

Someone remind me not to try to hack other people's codes again.  I swear learning it from scratch is faster.

[Rosamund Gold]

Okay, I remind you: do not hack other people's codes.

Also that feeling when you had a break from your dance classes for over 3 months and when you finally go there you feel like dying. I mean what is altitude, right? How do you raise that leggy?

OMG. You just reminded me.

I was doing beginner ballet because I haven't done ballet for years, but apparently the teacher for the class above us is a total B. So there are a bunch of students in the beginner class who should be in the next class up, but they keep taking the beginner class until they can graduate to the next class above that. So, basically our class is full of people who are NOT beginners, since they fill up the bookings, and then people like me who are total beginners, but savvy enough to figure out you have to book ahead of time to get a spot.

Anyhow, that means whenever our teacher is off sick or teaching a workshop, we get a replacement who thinks everyone is as good as the non-beginners. And she's all like "just put your leg up on the barre", "turn out more", "stand in releve till the end of time". Like, I can't do any of those things. I'm just here for exercise, I'm not trying to become Misty Copeland.

I hate how I have to post in here to make sure this registration works! >

So for some reason, all of us failed anatomy on the exam. That is just not real because I know for sure that I did 14 questions right and 11 is the minimum you had to have to pass.
But we all failed, 90 of us.
And I'm so upset because I know it's not fair but we can't do anything about that because professor don't let us see our exams
I think I really hate her.

Can't challenge it? In Australia, you can always ask for a review of a failed exam or assignment and they usually just give you a conceded pass because it's faster than actually reviewing it.

I once got 99% on an assignment because I put a sentence fragment in it, and it was a science exam. It was because the tutor was a PhD student and didn't like that I deserved full marks.
