Belittling People Verbally

I've recently realized how annoyed I am by people speaking down to other people. Specifically I mean, teachers or authority figures speaking down to "lesser" people. Any form of tone or phrase that might imply that the person speaking is more important than the person being spoken to.

It annoys me, A LOT. But, I'm also pretty sure I'm more sensitive on the subject than other people, as I've rarely heard other people protest about such things. With that being said, I admit that it's possible I'm overreacting, but I'm annoyed all the same.

To give you an example of this annoyance, if a teacher says something to the affect of "Come on guys!?!? You can do better than that!", as if spoken as if to a fiver-year old. Guess what? I'm in college, and when a teacher says that to a college class, often times that's being spoken to people 10, 20, 30 years older than myself.

Dear world,
Please note that, there are a lot of immature people in this world. I admit that and I'm not delusional in implying that. It's true that some people who look 20 really do act like they're five, but that doesn't mean that treating them similar to how they act will resolve any issues. It only further degrades them and promotes no sense of self worth.

If you're the type of person who talks down to others in a degrading nature, 'think'. It goes back to that golden rule of, "treat others how you would want to be treated".

Kind regards,

*UPDATE* I just want to emphasize that I wrote this post purely based off of what was going on around me. It had not occurred to me when I wrote this, that it could be interpreted as a situation that was directly affecting me. That's not the case at all, I just feel strongly that people need to treat other people better.

College Doesn't Pay For Your Assignments

Many universities pride themselves on the learning experience that they offer. Most even charge a good chunk of change to supply you with this experience. After thousands of dollars spent on tuition you would expect that your assignments, as in sheets of paper, would be included in the process. Well, turns out my loving university won't even let me print out a couple pieces of paper without charging me more money. WTF is the point of an on campus library and a lot of money spent on tuition if I can't even print out my assignments via email that all of my professors send me?

I'm so pissed right now because I don't have a $1.00 bill in my pocket to do my homework. All I have is a student card and a debit card. Both of which do me no good unless I go activate my student card for additional features a.k.a. printing out paper! I would go do that, but I have a class soon and I don't feel like going on a scavenger hunt back forth across campus then printing my assignment and eventually going to class. I don't have the time and I certainly don't need this bull crap! Okay, calming down. Off to class now. *gives college the middle finger*

My Rant On Driving

I've noticed a few things when I drive and feel the urge to complain/point them out. First off, when I turn onto a new road, I look at the cars in front of me and change lanes accordingly. For example, if the person driving is above 70 years old and drives an old pick up truck, I change lanes. I stereotype everyone in front of me and judge the cars that they drive, even if there are only two cars in the lane. I'm a shallow/nazi car driver! If you drive something slow, I'm going to try to not be behind you.

The second thing I want to talk about is the turn signal. Now, I have a really hard time grasping why someone would not use a turn signal. To me it is such a basic concept. When I use a turn signal I don't even have to think about it. My brain and hand automatically know what to do and I'll frequently use a signal without even realizing that I turned it on. So you can understand my frustration when someone does not use a device located an inch from the steering wheel. Which brings me to the conclusion that either, A) that person not using a signal either never cared or learned how to use one. OR, B) is very absent minded.

Lastly, I believe there is a conspiracy going on with school zones and school buses. Does anyone else find it unusual that both school zones and buses are all timed perfectly to interrupt with your busy day? Not only that but when you drive through a school zone, no kids are crossing the street. At least that is the case for me. Think about it. It's all one big conspiracy to make you late to wherever important place that you are going. I bet those aren't even kids getting onto the school bus! It's a bunch of government spies!

Thick Black Glasses

Ok, I have to get something off my chest that has been bugging me for
awhile. Sorry if I offend anyone. What's the deal with thick black
glasses? I just feel like the people who wear them are trying to be
"hip", being "hip" is fine, but do you have to make it so blatantly
obvious??? In my opinion you are more "hip" if you do it in a more
subtle way. Otherwise, you are screaming to the world "look at me! I
am so cool!" .....but maybe you want to give off that impression,
personally I don't.....and maybe I am way off on the subject, but I
can't help it.

Green bananas

Do these look ripe to anyone???
