When people walk slowly on a narrow path!!!!
It forces me to decide whether to trod slowly behind them or walk into the wet grass to overtake them.
This is worse when I'm running late, people just have earbuds in and walking 4 wide in an narrow path
::)
Human turtles- when you are rushing to get to a place, whether it be walking or in a car- and they ARE SOOOO SLOOOWWW!!!!!!! ( you can also feel anger bubbling inside you)
This may be a minor annoyance, but to me it KILLS!!!! >:( >:( >:(
When you're walking in the middle of the city and people are walking ever so slowly, and they block the whole footpath. So annoying lol.

Not sure why, but I get the feeling AN users have a lot of walking gripes.Maybe we're just all fast-paced people :P
People who smoke in no-smoking areas. If I'm in my nice, easy-to-breathe area, and you're not following the rules and smoking, I'm going to say something. I'm not an always-follow-the-rules-kind-of-guy, but I reaaallllly dislike smoking.
Or people who just start smoking ahead of you when you're both heading in the same direction. Like, I'm okay if you decide to inhale poison into your lungs while taking responsibility of whatever health issues that come with it. But at the same time, I never consented for you to blow it into my face and give me violent convulsions from the anxiety of sniffing what is the carcinogenic particles you've decided to inhale. And why do you have to smoke and walk? Why can't the smoking wait? Why make yourself tired when the short walk is quite possibly the only healthy thing you got going at that moment in time? I don't understand it. *throws books on floor*
Exactly! If they don't want us to infringe on their right to smoke, they can't infringe on our right to breathe healthy.Ooooh!!!
People who walk on the wrong side of the footpath. We drive on the left, so we walk on the left.
Following on from this; escalators. Those who stand on the right hand side instead of the left hand side...like the right hand side is meant for walking...
Alright, so uh I have this sort of conscious sort of unconscious rule I follow. When someone sneezes in the same area I'm in I hold my breath for 10 seconds. But you see, once someone sneezed 5 times consecutively with 10 second intervals ,legit, and I couldn't hold my breath for that long. I thought of that very moment for the next couple of days. Oh and this is not backed up by medical evidence just my stupidity. Now I'm hoping there are people out there that do something as crazy as this :D

So many people do not understand this. Flinders Street Station has to be literally be the hotspot. I used to interchange at Flinders Street daily and I missed a fair few train services because of these morons :(A good solution is to do the side walk slide, where you turn your body and then slide past the two columns of people :P

People feeding birds around me when I'm trying to eat lunch. I don't enjoy fucking bird swarms.This.
I can deal with slow drivers but the ones that decide to speed up as soon you get to an overtaking lane really irritate me. Today someone was going 70 in an 80 zone but as soon we hit the overtaking lane, they go straight up to 87 and I know as soon as we get back to the single lane they will go back to their slow ways. I ended up overtaking at about 95 which constitutes a loss of licence (P1 holder) but this should honestly be illegal.Def. feel ya there...
People who drive up the emergency lane in traffic and try to merge in so they can get a few cars ahead. Shits me up the wall.And K888 - that is dead on.,

The assistant manager and I do this to our manager all the time. We pretend to be talking together quietly about something and he comes in and we're like "no no don't tell him" and he spends the rest of the day trying to get it out of us. Combine me and this 2IC and we are straight up evil hahaha.That is literally torture for me haha. Would be fun from your end though. ;D
He tries to do it back and we just go "meh didn't want to know anyway" and turn away and get on with our business completely not caring, and his response is even more indignant 😂

This is surely fair enough.
TBH I wouldn't mind if she didn't specifically tell us to email her through the holidays but then change her mind. But she's a sweetheart so I can't complain too much
K888, I feel you'd appreciate this.I feel those feels. I've actually taken to volunteering to clean the whiteboard in CBL each week to fix this issue haha.
There is a massive difference between 'email me' (a.k.a ask a short question that wont take up too much of my time) vs. mark an entire practice essay which takes a significant amount of time. Teachers deserve a break (albeit short, we don't sit around and do nothing over the holidays) too.
I've had nearly a week off now and have spent majority of it either marking/planning for term 4/planning for next year. And I don't even teach Year 12.
Just saw something come up in my newsfeed about the Bachelorette. Had to log onto AN and write something in this thread about it haha.
More specifically, was a recap of the most recent (or one of the more recent) episodes, in which there was something called the "Man Games".
So like, the clips that were being shown were a planking contest, etc. - seemed to be quite physical stuff, and they were saying "only a real man can do blah" or whatever. Another thing was changing a tyre, and google also tells me they had to build flat pack furniture, and the two men who had proved themselves manly enough to make the manly finals had to build a fire.
Shits me up the wall that what is arguably a widely-watched show is perpetuating the stereotype that men need to be physically strong and muscly and do "manly", physical stuff. Like, why not have a challenge where they show their abilities to listen to their prospective partner's problems and their abilities to display compassion? Physical capabilities do not make the definition of a "man".

Turning off wifi when im out in the city, so I can use 4G services and not connect to random wifi, only to forget to turn it on when I get home.. Happened yesterday and I presumed I was using wifi at home until I got a text from Telstra saying I was 85% over my data allowance for the month (awks when it only reset on the 26th of September). Surely I'm not the only one that has this problem urghhI forget all the time too. ::)
another one is when the metro inspectors/fake cops ask to check my myki and concession card at Melbourne Central between 7:30 - 9am, or 4pm - 6pmOh, and they get annoyed when you have to get your wallet out of your backpack to get your concession card as well. Like, either don't ask to see my concession card, or have a bit of patience when I have to take off my backpack and find my wallet lol.
Who fare evades at 7:30 anyway?!?! Do I look like a fare evader?!?!!! Missed trains buses etc because of them
Oh, and they get annoyed when you have to get your wallet out of your backpack to get your concession card as well. Like, either don't ask to see my concession card, or have a bit of patience when I have to take off my backpack and find my wallet lol.
I've always wondered - like, they jump on you as soon as you leave the barriers - how do they know you're actually using a concession myki? What if you were travelling on a full price one? Obviously a fair assumption that the majority of young people would be travelling on concession fares, but still.
yes ugh!Ahh... I understand your annoyance but blame the people who abuse the system and ruin the trust of teenagers ^^
and you're right they just assume, well what if I was using a full fare myki? -.-
they probably think I'm an easy target or something because they always get me
Cyclists, you can't have the cake and eat it at the same time. To demand (which is reasonable) more separate lanes from cars and well as more careful behaviour from drivers (when they open the door knocking over cyclists on footpaths), but being negligent with pedestrians by cutting corners and running the traffic lights.These aren't necessarily the same groups of people
These aren't necessarily the same groups of peopleUgh I hate this. I always feel like I have to ride on the road because if i'm on the footpath people get annoyed at me but then riding on the road isn't safe in a lot of areas unless I want to go in the middle of the lane so people can't try and overtake me (which legally i'm allowed to) but then I get people honking and sitting 2cm behind me.
These aren't necessarily the same groups of people
There is almost certainly an intersection group. Almost all cyclists demand for more protection against drivers. A minority (still somewhat sizeable) are negligent towards pedestrians. Given that almost all cyclists complain about drivers (I don't drive myself), it's almost certainly true that members of the minority are in that group that wants the best of both worlds.Of course there's an intersectional group. But like you just said, the dipshits are in the minority. I don't see why the majority should get a bad rep when they're not the ones in the wrong.

People who don't shut up in a freaking LIBRARY.I'll add to this. People who don't shut up in the silent room at my school. It's literally labelled as the silent room. There a massive room it's attatched to it that you can talk in. I tell people to shut up and they're like but I'm only talking quietly. Ugh silent room not quiet room. And it's always the same people like I get one comment, but people come here to hide from teachers and talk the whole period. (Or worse the year 7 gamers in here at lunch) ffs some people actually need quiet.
Like seriously...be quiet
When there are assessments due after the end of semester (in particular, the physics homework that we were given yesterday and is due end of swotvac, aka 2 days before my first exam). I don't have time for it because I have 3 exams in 2 days at the start of the exam period :(. It's particularly painful because it wasn't supposed to be assessable, there was a mistake with one of the earlier assessments so they decided this one would count.Any assessment shits me regardless of the circumstances. Where have you been mate :P
Edit: Also when they give incorrect information regarding what they want you to do, and then you lose marks because you did what they said :'(
Finding out from a facebook post by a primary school friend who i don't really talk to anymore that my grade 6 teacher died not from my mum who works part time at that same primary school ... and this must have been last week or earlier because I got asked a strange question by a current teacher who is connected to that primary school (he asked who my little brother's grade 6 teacher is) and I mentioned that to my mum (It took me a second to remember and he started to ask if it was her) and she still didn't say anything. Sorry for posting this here I know it doesn't really belong but I wanted to rant :-\

So I've just got busted by the ticket inspectors and I'm like balling my eyes out.Have heard that if it's your first offence, most people are reasonably successful in appealing the fine if they write nicely to them and explain why they didn't have a valid ticket. Might as well appeal it - either you get it rescinded, or the fine stays, so you don't lose anything.
How successful have people been in fighting fines?
Also since they gave me a replacement ticket which is of no use to me since in only valid till 4pm today and I'm in the city, does that mean that they remove all the credit on my current card?

Interesting! Do you have any stats on this, by any chance?Can't remember where I initially read about it, but a quick Google search supplied the following links (click here, here and here). The last of those is the most scientific, but it's a very simple experiment testing various fonts with spacing and time spent reading.
When you have parents that refuses to settle things and force you to resort to lawyers and the police. Even though I didn't intend/knowingly get an intervention order against both my parents (I didn't even know what it was 12 years old), and their reaction hurt at the time, I've come to realise that they did so in the way they did because they never thought that they could 'lose' (can't really think of another word).
All throughout my life the only options they gave me were the lawyers or the police (the lawyers to make me broke and they know I wouldn't go the police anyway).
They were the type of parents that I wouldn't be able to talk about sexual harassment or abuse if I were ever to be in that situation with a stranger, because one of them was an unapologetic perpetrator himself and they other never stood up for me, and suggested that I was a prostitute or slut on multiple occasions.
Seriously I don't understand parents who dares you to fight them in court and only regard you on a legal level.
Edit: also, why is it so hard for people to understand that I just genuinely do not want to go clubbing? I'd rather spend the rest of my uni degree doing icebreakers at the start of every single tute than do it.wow that's a bold statement - not the clubbing but the icebreakers :(

Plus, it makes you go to the loo if you have too much. Laxative101.
really, i'm sure its got something to do with the potential choking hazard... duty of care stuff hence the rule

I used to play a fun game when I was at HS.
If me and my mates went to class, we'd keep a tally of who found gum at their desk. If they did, they got 1 point. Person with the highest tally at the end of the year got a fun gift lol. Plus 2 points if it was extra new and sticky.
Wouldn't chew gum in the workplace? I buy my gum in bulk lol.
can confirm the laxative effect wears off never had an issue
I never even considered that it's a choking hazard?! teachers would just nag us about how you wouldn't chew gum in the workplace blah blah
this is actually awesome LOL
You kidding me? Two pieces of gum is enough to keep me on the toilet for hoursI chew gum when I'm stressed and my record is 2 packs in about 4 hours. Obviously laxatives don't work on me haha.

When the book you're in the middle of reading has a reservation on it, so you can't renew it :(That is sad :(
Today.Well maybe to compensate - you should make tomorrow the most awesomest day ever.
All of today, everything is annoying me, and i have work tonight with my 3rd and 2nd least favourite co-workers. ugh. They used to be my least favourite but we got a new guy...
At the moment it's because school is running an incursion in the silent room, so i'm in the noisy area and there's these guys sitting next to me playing their video games, eating really stinky food and talking loudly. And putting their stuff over half of my desk. The only people who should be in here are people in senior private study. These guys are not seniors (and they are the same idiots who play computer games loudly - like, jumping and and cheering - in the silent room frequently).
I hate people. Mostly because I'm having a shit day, I struggled to get out of bed this morning, it wasn't worth it.
my WAM keeps changing very slightly yet no result is present, so anxiety ensuesTry to calcualte your score from the change in WAM and ask around to work out which subject it is for :)
this shits me more than anything else in the world
I don't enjoy being called "hun" when ordering my coffee.
When you have a craving for subway cookies, but subway isn't open.
Coles cookies can act as substitute in troubled times.+1
When I had to dash out of Melbourne Central two days ago, when I was having some alone down time at night on my phone because a Christian religious advocate (some international students) recognised me. The last time round, I obliged to talk to them because it was awkward to say no since I wasn't with anyone and I was sitting down (if I was on a street, I would just walk past them). They forced me to recite passages from the Bible for 10 minutes in a public place to prove the existence of God...
This many tabs open. And all for deciding what subjects I want to take...Feels.
The inability to properly dig into a certain book at present.
I'm barely latching onto the storyline at the moment
Construction work in the morning 😡 >:(
How about construction starting at 10:30 pm and ending at 3 am? 😭Pretty sure that's illegal / not permitted.
Pretty sure that's illegal / not permitted.
In Vic on weekdays they're permitted to do construction work 7am-8pm (restricted on weekends). 10:30pm-3am is definitely not allowed. That's terrible :(
The disadvantage of living on the road where the Light Rail is built on :(
Being sick.hope you get better soon :-*
Forgetfulness as a personal trait. :(
When beez are buzzing loudly, especially when i'm trying to sleep
Sounds like you need to evacuate and clear as far away from the area immediately.Haha :)
This thread seems particularly appropriate right now; I've just spent 32 hours in transit, trying to get from Sydney to Paris. The first leg of the flight was delayed by 12 hours, but we weren't able to leave the airport. Obviously we missed our connecting flight, so I'm sitting in a hotel room in China, where everything (Facebook, Google, Whatsapp, Gmail) is blocked. That is, except AN!You know how I feel man

My younger sister is taller than me. >:(I'm taller than my 12 year old brother... I'll enjoy it while I can. My dad's really tall so I'm betting my brother will end up being almost a foot taller than me :'(
40 or 35 degree heat (am I right peeps)?The instant I found out about this I started being thankful of the near-zero degree coldness in China
The instant I found out about this I started being thankful of the near-zero degree coldness in ChinaI'd honestly prefer zero degree weather compared to today's nearly 40 degree day :P

5. Wanting to practice writings essays and doing practice tests but I just can't focus as much as I do during the ACTUAL test. like I need to study somewhere with other people and then I will focus.5. Try your local library, in particular find a silent area, this time of year there won't be many people studying but there is the rest of the year (especially before exams).
6. Mosquito bites, ok today I arrived somewhere overseas and when I was in a car to my apartment, I GOT 10 FRICKEN MOSQUITO BITES ON MY LEGS OMGG (Insert crying emoji)
7. Waking up to have a dry throat EVERYDAY with like MUCUS in my mouth I have to spit out.. (IF ANYONE HAS A REMEDY TO THIS PLSSSSSSS (maybe because I am wearing retainers and they have this indelible white thing on it (is it bacteria??)

This hailstorm aka "Melbourne" Weather.Wait what? There's a hailstorm? It's overcast here, but still dry and hot.
When people walk slowly on a narrow path!!!!
It forces me to decide whether to trod slowly behind them or walk into the wet grass to overtake them.
This is worse when I'm running late, people just have earbuds in and walking 4 wide in an narrow path
::)
Human turtles- when you are rushing to get to a place, whether it be walking or in a car- and they ARE SOOOO SLOOOWWW!!!!!!! ( you can also feel anger bubbling inside you)
This may be a minor annoyance, but to me it KILLS!!!! >:( >:( >:(
When you're walking in the middle of the city and people are walking ever so slowly, and they block the whole footpath. So annoying lol.
This scenario can also be applied to universities. The oblivious student.
People that drive in the right line who are L platers and people who drive too slow.
Like god damn it 10km under the limit on a sunny day.
( yes I know speeding is bad, but so is being a slowpoke as you block the traffic)
People who walk on the wrong side of the footpath. We drive on the left, so we walk on the left.
@Courtney2502 You're in good company...and this was just the first couple of pages of this thread.
That my laptop is too hot to rest on my legs.I understand the pain :(
I understand the pain :(Because if they're too hot on a lap then they're probably old
Why are they called laptops of they are too hot to put on the lap? o.O
Really bad hold music on the phone.
If you play "Gucci Gang" at 11:57:36 PM on new years eve, its perfect because the song will end right before midnight in 2017 and we can leave it there because thats where it belongs.I agree. Gucci Gang is a stupid song. (I mean it's on a top 10 worst songs of the year list.)
Sorry, but i really HATE THIS SONG >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
I agree. Gucci Gang is a stupid song. (I mean it's on a top 10 worst songs of the year list.)I'm trying to decide what makes me want to rip off my ears more: Gucci Gang or Despacito
I'm trying to decide what makes me want to rip off my ears more: Gucci Gang or DespacitoTO be fair, Despacito isn't bad at all. It's just overplayed (like christmas songs) HAHA
despacito is good but then JB had to make it universally popular :(Yeah that was pretty bad too....................
I think Bodak Yellow is the worst song this year ....
TO be fair, Despacito isn't bad at all. It's just overplayed (like christmas songs) HAHAI hated deapacito from the moment it was released though, just like gucci gang.
JINGLE JINGLE - Shut it kiddo :,) (jk, I wouldn't ruin a kids fun, but ya know)
People that buy bottled water when tap is available. I went out for dinner last night, we were given jugs of water, but bottled water was still on the menu. Why??Can relate. My grandma refuses to use tap water and buys massive tubs (?) of bottled/spring water and I ask myself why everytime. 😂
I just replenished my entire school folder with plastic sleeves for next termAt that point I would just turn the folder upside down.
I just discovered that I put every single one of them in upside down
vodafone.Yep. Recently moved from vodafone to virgin because they were annoying me so much. Virgin was way nicer and gave me a credit of the amount it cost to pay out my plan (although maybe they were just sucking up because I’m a new customer...)
just vodafone.
Being human. I don't like it. I'd prefer to be perfect.
Flickering lights on trains. Makes me feel uncomfortable. 😂

Really syrupy soft drinkWhat's the name of the drink? :P

People pressuring me into learning how to drive. I want to learn at my own pace thank you very much.This.
This.I have immense respect for you, mate! Stand up for your rights! (This from someone who got their L's the day after their b'day, got 100% on the test and one year into the L's had 106 hours up...) Good luck in getting your license though! ;P
Also, people who insist it’s ‘easy’ to get your L’s or P’s, and just in general aren’t aware of the barriers that exist that might prevent someone from being able to get their licence.
If you want me to get my license so bad, you’re welcome to pay for my driving lessons. :P
This.Agree with this, as i failed my P's test twice before passing the third time, and part of the reason i failed was from expectations from my peers >:(

Dear brain - m8, still recovering from jet lag here
When people use their phones at dinner.People who hold up a conversation to use the phone for a call/text. Obviously, whoever is on the phone (and it could be almost anybody) is far more important than you are! I just wish people would have a greater level of respect for each other!
I mean well dinner, is when you're meant to chill with family and all (or friends) ?!?!
Also...
People that hold up dinner/lunch as they want to take photos for Instagram....
I have a 6am shift on New Year's day omg someone help me

I finally made an attempt to do my tax return for the last financial year. Made a MyGov account. Attempted to link it to the ATO but I can't because I haven't made any contributions to my Super fund so it won't recognise it. Ugh. Apparently my bank account isn't enough. Now I have to call them at some point and be on hold for 3 hours.
People in my class that argue with the teacher, making it harder to learn. Anyone else experience this?If anything I was usually the person arguing with the teacher (in regards to academic stuff). It helped me clarify my understanding. Sometimes, I was even right.

My voice.
In every possible way.
Whenever I hear my own voice I just feel sick.
the runner up worst sound ever for me is my laughThey're both just as bad for me.
yuck
Photos of myself.Recordings of my voice. I hate the sound that my voice makes, I like the voice that I hear, but the voice that I hear is not what my voice sounds like to other people.
I always cringe at my photos (cause I either look like I'm high, I'm blinking or I'm just making random faces)
I swear it's not intentional... I'm just not photogenic. Since I was young, I needed 5 takes for my school photos LOL
Getting sick when i've just started year 12 :-[It’s better than being sick during exams.
It’s better than being sick during exams.True!! Getting an illness and misadventure form and doing the make up task is such a hassle (especially when the head of faculty is missing)

The fact that uni students don't get Labour Day off while it seems everyone else does :(Maybe universities don't recognise labour day as a public holiday?
From Unimelb Confessions:Hmm... I'm unsure if being part of the public is bad or not.. I mean having today off is great, but why do I feel bad not being a part of this eltist group :(.
What I would give to be a riff raff today...
The fact that uni students don't get Labour Day off while it seems everyone else does :(Hey, at least Vic has a public holiday, NSW doesn't. Which explains my confusion over all this talk of non-existant days off.

When your dad buys you a shirt and insists that it's not too big, it looks great on you.I wouldn't be too disheartened, I'm yet to find a dad who knows how to do clothes shopping properly
Not like I'm a beanpole or anything.
I'm size 10, Dad. Thanks for the shirt, but you're making me feel bad that it's 3 sizes too big for me...

Textbooks that have a ton of unnecessary information and don't make it clear what is actually important *screams*That's why they're textbooks and not ATARNotes notes
Textbooks that have a ton of unnecessary information and don't make it clear what is actually important *screams*Second only to expensive textbooks that you never use!
That's why they're textbooks and not ATARNotes notesIf there were ATARNotes notes for outdoor ed or enviro science I would buy them in about .3 seconds, unfortunately they do not exist :'(
Textbooks that have a ton of unnecessary information and don't make it clear what is actually important *screams*
Just like most things: you can't please everybody!
Okay, that shits me.
and if they didn't have enough info, there would still be unsatisfied people ;)Somehow this textbook manages both. Heaps of examples and hardly any definitions ::)

Ffs my sister really does not need to be watching TV at this time of night, she’s not even really watching it, it’s on the background whilst she does her beading.Have you tried listening to "calming" music like Rain sounds?
My little brothers will be up at 6:30 tomorrow and my mum will get up around 7/7:30 and start washing dishes and complaining at my brothers about whatever they’re doing.
And they wonder why I’m tired all the time ::)
and it’s probably going to happen every day of the holidays, my mum or my sister is always watching TV, and they refuse to turn it down >:(
Couldn't help but get triggered over what my AP said about our exams.
Year Coordinator and Curriculum Coordinator: Good luck with studying and make sure to see me if you're overwhelmed.
AP: I won't say good luck because the exams aren't based on luck- they're based on skills.Maybe my pettiness is coming from the stress. Who knows?
AlsoAP is assistant principal.
What's an AP?
Have you tried listening to "calming" music like Rain sounds?get ear plugs?
I found this helped with making fall asleep.
Also try playing Tetris, Candy Crush and/or Bejeweled 10 minutes before bed with the lowest brightness setting possible on your phone
Try it out for a month and see what happens.
These hopefully help you fall asleep better and not have to rely on your family turning off the TV. They at least close the door for you right? I make my family do that since they are all nightowl unlike me
And also, the light in my room that randomly turns on/off for several hours at a time, without warning!There’s an entire wing at my school where the lights randomly turn off for a few minutes then turn back on. We say that it’s haunted.

Getting stuck behind Unskilled green p plate drivers in semi busy trafficJust because you're skilled at driving and are on your green Ps, doesn't mean everyone else on their green Ps share the same confidence as you :)
Like you shouldn’t be on the road if you’re doing 50 on a highway 😂😂
If you have your p’s you should be confident enough to do 80 on a highway.
Just because you're skilled at driving and are on your green Ps, doesn't mean everyone else on their green Ps share the same confidence as you :)I get that, but within a month of getting my L's I was driving at 100/110 on freeways/highways! People just shouldn't have their licenses if they aren't confident doing that, imo. Also, I hate the fact that Australians are terrible at merging, so that in medium-heavy traffic, if merging occurs, the pace slows to 5-10km/h. >:(

The fact that term 1 is already over.

Really headphones? Did you have to break right now? It’s better than breaking in the middle of the day though I suppose.
When you're walking such as in the corridors at school (Very narrow and no where to go) and someone suddenly stops or tries to get across to the line of kids waiting outside a classroom not letting anyone through. I feel like saying 'are you shitting me'.I feel like that sums up my school in a single sentence as this happens nearly every lesson daily in a school with 1100 kids...
When you're talking to a year 11....Say no more. We have a small year 12 class at my school (>15), and the year 11's think they can run the bloody joint.
:'(
What a shit ass day. Bad enough I had to deal with huge traffic twice in the same day but to top it off I somehow lost my Apple pen after just three days... Instantly wasted $150...(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9d/f2/86/9df28646398ec54c867dcf13dcf1d407.gif)
So fucking pissed.

When schools implement bad changes to your year level i.e. study room is only for year 12s (when I was in year 11) and then promise good changes for next year's cohort i.e. we'll be expanding study room for next yearWhy oh why can you only upvote posts once??

That moment when you're bombarded by the royal wedding stuff on social media instead of the Santa Fe school shooting :/Agreed. My twitter feed this morning was full of the royal wedding. Lost count of how many tweets about it that I saw after about 30. :)
WaspsWhat is it about wasps that annoys you?
Agreed. My twitter feed this morning was full of the royal wedding. Lost count of how many tweets about it that I saw after about 30. :)I mean, if you look at the trending hashtags on Twitter, most of them are about the royal wedding- like, did the world need to know about what Meghan Markle wore on her wedding?

Still can't believe that '13 Reasons Why' got a second season :/why
I guess I understand your POV, but for many people, the world is depressing as it is haha. It'd be good to see something nice/positive =)I guess so, but personally, if I wanted to see something positive, I'd rather see something that can positively impact the world, like scientific breakthrough with Parkinson's disease and the development of a cure, or the fact that the snow leopard is no longer on the endangered list- those are the type of news stories that never get media coverage yet have the power to bring hope to many :)

TW: suicide and pretty much everything that happens on the show.SpoilerTo be fair the show does bring awareness to mental health issues, suicide, and other very sensitive topics but the way it's portrayed is so bad and glorifies it in a way. A girl would not simply kill herself just to have revenge. There's a lot more factors that the show doesn't really mention. Hannah hasn't been diagnosed with anything (unless this is mentioned in season two, please correct me if i'm wrong), so it just looks like 'o she's just another high school girl seeking attention'. It also romanticises suicide which isn't really correct and desensitises the seriousness of suicide. For instance, it's not really explicitly mentioned in the show but I remember when there's that montage of 'what could've been' between him and Hannah if she didn't die and the whole 'I could've saved her if I just entered a romantic relationship with her' doesn't really correspond with me. Sure love does help but there's also other options such as therapy, anti-depressants etc that could help. The whole notion of 'love conquers all' should not be included in a drama show like this and should only be represented within the rom-com genre.
The show simply uses Hannah's suicide as clickbait and a way to draw in more viewers. It should've been portrayed more differently because there's a problem within the screen industry where they think if someone has a mental health problem, then they must be super dark (ie; Dark Betty in Riverdale is an absolute mess).
Other shows portray mental health issues so authentically, such as 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend', 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' and 'Please Like Me'. In CEG, we get to see the development for Rebecca's BPD and we also get to see her misdiagnosis throughout the years and how they've affected her. In UKS, she's got PTSD but it really isn't mentioned much in the show as her determination to restart her life is emphasised. Whilst in PLM, we sees the rawness and the authentic portrayal of Josh's mum and her suicidal tendencies. Josh's mum isn't 'dark' or anything. We see her as a woman determined to make things better for her, not a victim.

The sound of my own voice.
I hate how I sound recorded :P

I beg to differ. I adore rain. In any way, shape, form, time, length, day etc etcWhat's wrong if i have my own opinion? Can't you respect that?
What's wrong if i have my own opinion? Can't you respect that?I have absolutely nothing in the world wrong with your opinion. :) I think you'll find plenty of people agree with your opinion. I'm just telling you mine.
I have absolutely nothing in the world wrong with your opinion. :) I think you'll find plenty of people agree with your opinion. I'm just telling you mine.Sorry for the misunderstanding :)
Sorry for the misunderstanding :)No problem at all ;D
Does anyone else hear their own voice as being much higher pitched than it actually is? When I talk, it sounds really high to me, but when recorded, it sounds deeperYeah, actually. It makes me really self-conscious haha
The fact that it took half an hour to write out the answer to a single maths question for my assignment.You poor, innocent child.
When teachers tell you that you’re “not living up to your potential”Have you spoke to your year level coordinator or similar? That's a pretty horrible thing to get told :)
Have you spoke to your year level coordinator or similar? That's a pretty horrible thing to get told :)I get told it all the time. I think they mean it as motivation... ???
I get told it all the time. I think they mean it as motivation... ???Same. My teacher last week was like the only reason she beat you was because you weren’t trying hard enough. Like I know that already thanks.....
Unreliable busses. It's freezing cold and the bus is almost 10 mins late. Been waiting at the stop for 25 mins. 😂This is a constant complaint of mine haha. My teacher asked me today what time I get to school (because we need to talk at some point) and I was like well if I leave at the same time everyday there'll be about a half hour variation in the time I arrive ::) Last week I left at 7:10 and got to school at 8. the day after at 7:15 and got to school at 8:40. There's one bus that I have to take if I want to go to school early and it regularly doesn't show up. I think I need to start calling PTV and complaining... The problem is that it's pretty much only school kids that take that bus so they don't care. Sorry this turned into a rant about public transport haha
Failing my methods sacMe in ~1 week...
Online submission for assignments, that closed 6 minutes ago... :( >:( :'(

I love buying outdoor gearI suspect I would enjoy it more if I didn’t have to pay for it haha
Where are you going?
I'm guessing you have water crossings?
I suspect I would enjoy it more if I didn’t have to pay for it haha
I’m going to Nepal. I don’t think there’ll be water crossings (although we are going during monsoon season), the shoes are mostly for when we go rafting and also around camp (school won’t allow open toe shoes ::))
When 2U concepts get moved into the 4U syllabus
Have expectations been raised, out of interest?Tough call tbh. I've only really scratched the surface thus far with prelim content. Right now I feel like prelim is harder. The HSC course is hopefully still the same in difficulty, but content is being moved here and there and I'm still figuring out how to keep up with it all haha

They were nice and came back so we could find out! They're advertising graduation certificates for Australian universities
I can't be the only one who believes that whenever metro makes everyone take replacement buses the rest of the journey should be free...Agreed, or at they should have least some form of compensation (perhaps even some of that free coffee or food that they've been handing out, that I seem to miss all the time >.> )
Unrealistic, I know, whenever the replacement buses drop me off at Newport station half an hour later than planned, the fact that I still have to pay for the rest of the journey just to get to the city loop pisses me off.

When your disk drive completely dies without warningMy laptop packed up last week, I had a whole bunch of notes for a SAC that I have tomorrow, not backed up anywhere, but I really need them right now! :'( :'(
It has 1.5TB of games on it and all my schoolwork that i last backed up in MARCH :'(
When I printed out my assignment, it was too thick to staple!You might think I'm crazy even suggesting this, but this was such a good investment I made at the time and I never had to run into the problem of things being too thick to staple again tbh. (Throwback to when I was printing 60+ page lecture notes)

Picture this: Your english teacher assigns the class to write an essay to be handed in in a few days during the assessment period. As you have been focusing on finishing off your other assessments, you have not gotten around to doing the essay due at 9am the next morning. But it's fine - heaps of other people said they've barely done anything yet too! So you stay up super late to write out a cracking (jk really bad) response of about 1100 words and submit it first thing in the morning (so it didn't seem like you stayed up late to do it). You stroll into class the next day and you hear the dreaded words... "as only two of you hvae submitted a response and many have emailed me about an extension, I have extended the due date to Monday". Yep. This has happened to me at least 3 times with the same teacher (v scary, hence why I always do the homework on time). Annnnd to top it all of, tuesday comes and your essay is returned. See, that's why you hand it in on time! You get it back first so you have more time to fix it up! Nope, wrong. All that is written up the top is "please cut down to 1000 words".
edit: I used the wrong your, how ironic

How do you not love sleeping?? Particularly in winter when you've just woken up and are still half asleep, all snuggly in your blankets.I hate sleeping especially when you realize you've woken up late
Honestly I think I would get bored with an extra 8 hours in my day.
I hate sleeping especially when you realize you've woken up lateYeah that's true. I know it's so hard to get up for school in winter :(
It's worse in winter when you are all snuggly but then realize you have to get up :(
Probably something minute but: using Ken Webb's book to help me make my Conflict in Europe notes and I'm a bit annoyed how he uses the term 'Gypsies' rather than Roma and Sinti/ Romani people, especially how he's also a History lecturer.Trust Ken Webb to do that hahahaha :D
Pro tip to everyone else: please use the word Romani instead of 'gypsies.' It's heavily associated to sexualising Romani women and forced sterilisation. This website does a great explanation on why we shouldn't use this word.
Trust Ken Webb to do that hahahaha :DOh trust me, I've seen a couple of typos and some missing letters- this is why I usually don't use Ken Webb -_-

My bag was falling apart and I was hoping it would hold together for only 2 and a half weeks, then when i picked it up this afternoon the zipper broke and my stuff fell all over the floor :'( I had to walk home hugging it (my poor baby), while also trying to carry my folder.I've restitched the bottom of one of my straps twice, and the other once. I've also had to restitch the top of one of the straps and my drink bottle holders are being held together by string (I ruined them too badly to sew them back together). To be fair it did cost me 15 bucks so I don't know what I expected haha
I actually still have my (branded) schoolbag somewhere in my messy room, I just stopped using it because it hurt my shoulders - the one I am using has a bit of a frame so it doesn't kill my shoulders as much - it's just too small for all the stuff I shove in there hahaTotally understand... I used a small suitcase/bag with wheels for a while because I have trouble with my back n it was jus making it worse :-\ Those can still be small enough to fit in a locker etc.

during the few minutes of moving to different classes when nearly the whole school is moving through the main hallway ... And there's always a few people who stop directly in the middle blocking the walkway and don't even realise or seem to care
My school didn't really have hallways but we had a similar issue with locker bays. We (student rep council) said the year 7 locket bay was the worst & next year when we came to school the year 7 lockers were in a new spot.
Is there anything that could be dive to attack the congestion issues at your school?

I cried over spilt milk.
I was making a banana smoothie with this new blender my Mum bought, we've only used it about 3 times, and I attached the jug and put bananas in then poured the milk in. After I while I noticed a spreading pile of white under the blender because the jug wasn't properly attached so all the milk came out. It made a massive puddle on the bench and run down into the cupboard underneath as well. I finally cleaned the bench, floor and cupboard, but then I realised there were patches of milk wherever I put the blender machine part, so I shook it and milk came out. I kept shaking it because it was full of milk. Then my mum came and told me it would be dangerous and could electrocute me, so we threw it out. :'( .

Really annoying cough that doesn't go away and isn't that serious but is really frustrating cause nothing you do seems to affect it and you have to wait for it to fix itself but that sucks cause you just want it to go away but it won't and that is frustrating and sucks, but it's not serious enough to go to the doctor about it but I've almost finished my exams so of all the times for it to appear now is a really horrible and annoying time. So I have to sit through my exam tomorrow with cough irratating the back of my throat. *sigh*I used to get a runny nose during many of my exams (including VCE), despite being not sick otherwise. Almost every exam when it was writing time, my elbow would be pinning down the page and my hand would be pressing a tissue to my nose. My other hand would be hurriedly scribbling answers into the exam booklets. Those were some real fun times.

Once upon a time there were 5 kids in a class who were given an unimportant test to do, realising how much it affected their grade (and having been given it without warning or chance to revise) they cheated... they worked together and all wrote a paraphrased version of each other's. They got their marks back a few days later and their very biased teacher had given them the following scores (without justifying them in any way) A+, B, C, C, D. They did not live happily ever after.Lol.
P.S. this is a real life story of a current crisis... I am so pissed off by it cos i got one of the C grades (75%)... we can't say anything because we kinda cheated... but it is about 20% lower than my average and is this not a bad reflection on the teacher?
Lol.😱
How badly did you paraphrase?
You need better linguistics... :D
How do you write on lined paper with those, like, sticky plastic margins.I don't see a problem with them, but with binders, it gets pretty bad lol.

Got my thunderstorm asthma alert this morning - that certainly has come nice and early.... plus my air con on = disaster for somebody w/ allergies like meI watched the rain and thunder from Peter Mac this afternoon. That was an experience. Royal Parade was flooded so there goes my shoes and pants 💔
I want rain!!!! (Although judging by the radar i'd say it isn't too far off)
On top of the world by Imagine dragons was my alarm song for a few moths a long time ago but I still can't listen to it because it still startles me every time it starts :(I have ruined multiple songs by doing that!!

Consumerism. I don't want or need anything but family are still going to get me stuff for christmas ::)
Edit: Christmas in general shits me. Not because I hate christmas, I just hate everything that goes along with it.
Consumerism. I don't want or need anything but family are still going to get me stuff for christmas ::)I completely agree. One thing my famoly does is give voucher for things like "dinner and a movie" or a game of laser tag, so things you can have fun doing without getting more things.

I was about to go to sleep last night, but I heard a mosquito. I decided to turn on the lights beside me to see where it was. Turns out there were two of them. Cocooned myself in my blankets and decided to strike if they got close. Got one but couldn’t find the other one. There was a stain where I killed the first mosquito and I’m pretty sure the second mosquito saw it as a warning because it decided to stay well away from my striking range. After about an hour, I decided to give up and sleep when bzzzz... the second mosquito was right up in my ear, scaring the wits out of me. It was teasing me! And it had the bravado to come so close to my ear after avoiding me that whole time. Worse still, I let it go free because I was so tired. It’s probably waiting to get its revenge after I killed its mosquito brethren.Because I hate that so much, I went to buy this. Much more peaceful sleeps. (No regrets.)

Accidentally over-toasting your bagel (burning it yikes) and then realising there's no cream-cheese in the fridge anyway :(Feel you on the toaster issues. I tried using the kettle AND the toaster and the fuse broke so now I have cold water and undercooked toast :/
I also stubbed my toe on the stairs, my cat vomited on the carpet, and I woke up to the sound of myself keening like an injured dog from a nightmare.
I feel like today is going to be a 3-part in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Let's hope I don't accidentally burn the house down as well as ruin my bagels...
The fact that 1 in 3 Americans aged between 18 and 24 believe the Earth is flat (Unimelb article) :( :-\Wow! I didn't realise it was that bad

The fact that 1 in 3 Americans aged between 18 and 24 believe the Earth is flat (Unimelb article) :( :-\
Going to the original article linked there (here): Of the 34% that don't reply "I have always believed the world is round", nearly half (16%) say "Other / Not sure" (hard to know what that means - but notably there is no category for "I used to be unsure or believe the world is flat, and now I believe it's round"). 9% are saying they are now skeptical of the earth being round, but 5% are saying they are now skeptical of the earth being flat. Hard to count both of those simultaneously as flat earth believers. Only 4% overall say they have always believed the earth is flat. Trying to get at people's current beliefs by asking them the history of their beliefs seems like a bad idea.
So yes, the numbers are higher than in older age groups, which is a concern - but I'm not sure it's as bad as 1/3 sounds.
I hate when people do things for me to "help" without bothering to ask whether help was needed or wanted :( Especially when the same people won't help when I specifically ask for it
These uni enrolment forms that take forever to get through. 🙁

People who say "I'm not good at math, I'm dropping methods", Hell, you ain't never studied for it before. They don't do anything to improve, they don't even do one question at home and they want to drop.Apologies if this shits you, but I think you might have a slightly skewed view of difficulty when it comes to math. This might be news to you but everyone has their unique gifts and talents, and sometimes a person can only improve a finite amount when it comes to something they struggle to comprehend. For you, math is simple. For me, art is simple. But that doesn't mean it's simple for everyone.

For you, math is simple. For me, art is simple. But that doesn't mean it's simple for everyone.oh no no, I'm talking about those who are not good or not improving just because they can't be bothered, sorry I should've mentioned that. I am completely aware of those who literally can't do maths, and am not saying anything about them, just the students (that I know) who have the ability to do well but don't. Sorry again for the misunderstanding!
As for the comment "you ain't ever studied it before", I have always been one of those people who legitimately struggle with numbers. Last year I worked on maths almost every single day, spending extra time with my teacher, having breakdowns over questions, and just generally working as hard as I could to do the best I could. If my best was a raw 26, and another's best is a raw 14, is that somehow pathetic? All it means is that our brains work differently to yours. And that unique outlook is what makes the world go round. I improved, but not to that standard. So be proud of your friend and those who are motivated to work harder, but please don't be intolerant about those of us you assume just don't try at all. :)
... and sometimes a person can only improve a finite amount when it comes to something they struggle to comprehend.Have to say that I very much disagree with this statement. I don't believe that one's intellectual ability has a defined ceiling, but rather, it's the person's responsibility to build higher. The only difference is how quickly they can build, and what they are building.
"It is completely okay not to be good at something, but it is never okay to then not do anything about it. The first step to improving is recognising that there is something to improve. Once you've done that, then we can formulate a plan."
Those are the exact words I say to a lot of my students in their first lesson.
If there was one subject where the majority of people use the phrases "I was never good at <subject>" or "I'm not a <subject> person", it would be mathematics. The most unfortunate thing for me is that there exists an unwarranted pride in being 'bad' at mathematics. No one goes around saying how proud they are that they don't understand Shakespeare, but so many people (but not all people) will often chuckle or laugh following a statement about how they either dislike, or are not good at maths.
I couldn't imagine a world where everyone is so proud to be ignorant, so why do we do it with maths? It's such a misconception that mathematics is only for 'smart people'. Mathematics is a language. It is the language we use to describe exactly the world around us.
Like any skill, mathematics takes time to learn, and every person will be at a different level. Some will understand mathematical concepts in a matter of seconds, and some will take weeks. And that is okay. But, to then say the phrase "I'm just not a maths person" as an excuse for not being willing to improve, is not. That is laziness and what personally frustrates me.
@Tatlidil, I share your frustration but you should have better articulated your point. It did sound like that people's ability in maths, rather than their effort, is what's shitting you.

Uni timetables.
Apparently we can pick our tutes and pracs tomorrow, at an unspecified time, or we might have to wait until an undisclosed time within the next couple of weeks, or maybe we won't be able to pick them until the first lecture, or maybe sometime within the first week of uni.

Uni timetables.Late enrollment means that I basically get all the worst slots (I'm looking at you, ENG1003 Prac, with your 6pm-9pm slot), and no one is going to want to switch into those slots, so I'm stuck with a nasty setup. >:( And it's not even my fault.

What uni timetable :'( Still haven’t got mine finalised yet because some of my classes have allocated streaming. Really don’t want to still be at uni past 5 so it’s just a waiting game at this point.The hoping that you won't be at uni past 5 ordeal is all too real for me- I've been allocated an afternoon lab that finishes at 6 this semester (after a morning lab too. Ew.), even though they could've allocated me to one on the previous day where I only have a single workshop :')

I hate how hard it is to find shops/companies that are environmentally friendly but aren't also anti-GMOs/anti-vax/think essential oils can replace medicine/etc.
Are there many anti-medicine companies around? I'm not really well-versed on the topicIt's not so much antimedicine, it's more of a promotes fake medicine kind of thing. It's not that big of deal - I still buy things from them I just hate seeing all these oils and balms that claim to promote healing or say they have health benefits without any evidence to support that.

Ooooo yikes I might be one of those people. What specifically triggers you?
omg so like:
- people who don't know how to squish onto a tram and take their bags off and put it in between their legs
- not knowing when to give an injured/elderly/blind/pregnant person their seat
- not knowing that they need to get off the tram to let someone out, and then come back on the tram (the tram's not running away chill)
- not being very loud if you are on a busy tram and poLITELY ask to get through
- not pressing the button or yanking the string to tell the driver that you want to get off at the next stop (i do it all the time just in case, some tram drivers skip your stop)
There is nothing worse than bumping into your boss outside of work on a day when you said you weren’t available.
Did you pretend you were actually your little-known twin, ceatroot?
At recess I had a persimmon, (which is a type of fruit that looks sort of like a tomato and tastes sweet and delicious). I put it on a table outside the bathroom where I always stick my books/lunch/etc when I go to the toilet. When I came back it was gone and I was so sad. :'( We hardly ever buy them because they are normally expensive, but we found them for a reasonable price at a market. Someone said they saw a group of boys take it, so they were probably throwing it at each other. It was probably an overreaction but I was really sad.
When you think you still have tea in your cup and you go to take the last sip but there's no tea in the cup :'(
That's when you just have to go and re-fill the cup. Re-using the same tea bag gives the brew and extra something, that's for sure.Can confirm that reusing teabags all day is actually pretty nice :)

I always get stressed if I am sitting down on a tram or something because I want to stand up to let an elderly person sit down but then I worry that if they are not that old they might be annoyed that I think they look old.I’ve had someone yell at me for not giving someone my seat...after I had already offered that person my seat and they’d said no. I just avoid sitting down at all 😂
oh my gOD I JUST SAW THIS HAPPEN ON THE TRAM TODAY
I go out with the child I babysit (who is in a wheelchair) fairly frequently and this happens probably every second time we catch public transport. It's the people who glare at her when she is being noisy while sitting in the seating designed for wheelchair users that really annoys me!!

When your teacher tries to use scaling as incentive to make you pick Spanish as an elective for Year 9. She said that "languages get 'extra points' because they're harder" ::)I should note that LOTEs do get extra points. They get 5 bonus points after the actual scaling happens as an incentive for more students to take up and learn a second language.
As a result of government policy to encourage the study of languages, a further adjustment is made during the scaling process. Each Language is adjusted up by adding five to the initial VTAC scaled study score average. All students of a Language receive an adjustment, but it is not a uniform adjustment. For study scores at or close to 30, the adjustment is 5, but the adjustment decreases as the study score moves away from 30.
Guys completely irrelevant to studying but I think that there’s a hidden camera in my alarm system. I’ve told my parents about this but no one really believes me. The reason I can tell it’s a camera is that it doesn’t particularly focus on the range of the room. Should I be worried guys?Sorry... what is it that doesn't particularly focus on the range of the room?

We've all been there. I pulled an all nighter once for IPT, I actually didn't sleep at all because I had to get ready to go to school as soon as I was done. Which leads me to that the only reason I had to do this was because one of my teammates said he 'lost' his part the night before the assignment was due.

The fact that yesterday it took more than 45 goddam minutes for a bus ride to get from Central to UNSW when it should be 15 minutes max.

Also delays in Melbourne have been horrid too so I feel that.
Ticked me off so much that I was still late by 10 minutes even though I arrived at the bus stop 45 minutes early

Going to formal- I don't wanna go.Or like me, I didn't even go lol. Party because I don't mix well in such kind of large party situations, usually I'll be the person in the corner haha as I have a relatively small group of friends.
I dislike when people are rude or make judgements about strangers without knowing them. Idk I get angry lol.Just curious what part specifically do you not like? because as humans it is our nature to judge. We make quick judgement's which allow us to address danger and motives from the way a person speaks or looks etc. =)

As for being rude about it, I agree it's not nice to be rude. I mean you can judge but keep it to yourself if it's not a good thing to say imo.
Sure I've been judged before, but tbh I think its good to think of it from the other persons perspective and really I've never gotten angry about anyone judging me =)
Would love to hear your thoughts on it :)
The difficulty of living as a woman, and talking to men about mysogyny. I very recently had a man laugh at me when I told him about my experience of being stalked; how are we meant to stay safe if people around us brush off threats as your own paranoia? It's ridiculous.
Also:
> getting called 'little lady', 'darling', 'sweetheart' by men a little older than me to middle age, particularly when I'm mad. I'm 5'8", that's not little.
> getting stared at to the point where a man will turn around to get a better look, and then wait outside a store you've gone into to see you come out
> having someone rub up against you on public transport on purpose and feeling as if you can't say anything because you have to be polite
> getting brushed off when you have a valid point. Getting paid a lower wage for your position than you should be. Being told to 'go back to the kitchen' because that's funny, apparently.
It's absolute horseshit. And it shits me.
When you are completing a VCE exam and the supervisor says there's "5 minutes to go", giving you a mini heart attack because you still have a 6 marker left to do.
not sure if this is really a life thing, but if i'm writing essays etc for sacs, it annoys me a ridiculous amount to have to continue a sentence on a new page :( it looks so incomplete?? sometimes i edit my sentence around just to make it fit nicely within the page margins oops.
THIS.are we all just fast people on here or?? haha
Did you get through it? :)
I relate to both of these! I'm not quite OCD to the point that I change my sentence but it really annoys me. And we're not fast, everyone else is just slow. At least we can always compete in speed walking if University doesn't work out! ;D
By the time you get to get the 30th fire alarm in a year, surely you should have lost the right to call it an “emergency”
When you have to scan your opal card after arriving at a train station, and those “red stoppers”/gates open up and you have milliseconds to cross over that barrier. Didn’t bother me as much before, but after accidentally getting stabbed by both gates before not going instantly, they are now my biggest fears to get trapped in them before. Even when I scan my opal card, I can still feel the pain of being trapped by them againI've actually never been stabbed by it before but I always have this paranoia that I will and so I go through it so quickly lol.
Bugs.Talking of bugs, I was on the train to work this morning and this lady stood next to me to hold the handrail. I saw something moving in her hair and it took me a solid 5 minutes to recognise that it was an earwig! Luckily for me, someone was handing out flyers before I got on the train about PTV works, so I asked the lady if I could just get rid of something in her hair and used the flyer to scoop the earwig out of there. Gave me such a fright though when I first noticed it!
"We once again welcome you to your regularly scheduled emergency, at which we will read The Boy Who Cried Wolf to remind us that we can be better than those villagers and treat every claimed emergency as priority 1".Lmao 😂

Book: "The girl who cried monster".
I've literally got all the limited editions and everything.
Has anyone else read goosebumps?

People that don’t turn their indicators off after they’ve turnedActually when your driving your usually checking all the mirrors and focusing on the car in front of you. So sometimes the fact that the indicator is still on just goes past you. I've had it happen once as well, although it's only ever happened once to me.
Being dehydrated on Public Transport.Oh, that is relatable.

it was just like are you gonna turn here? .... no.... here? .... no ...
Waiting to eat this one food you've been craving for months only to arrive at the place and it's closed down for good :(I used to go to this Chinese restaurant to eat their Black Pepper Chicken after tutoring on a Saturday and once when I got there I found out it's no longer open on a Saturday =(

Making pasta, then realising you have no sauce.Just pour some boiling water into the bowl, add a noodle flavour packet and call it a day.

When you're just trying to do some maths revision and you decide to go through the chapter on differentiating sin and cos functions and you get every question wrong, and you think you're dumb but then you realise the whole time your calculator was set to degrees instead of radian so your process was correct the whole time, and you are in fact not dumb, just blind.
Also, when you are integrating and forget the "+ c" :o :'(
Applying for a Passport, Proof of ID card or any other form of government identification. :PAgreed. They all just want different things to make 100 points of ID :(
When I overthink questions in an exam. I do it every time and it annoys me so much.Haha this seems to be the case with a lot of lecturers. I've had a fair few typos in exams and weirdly phrased questions that freaked me out too until I realised they were just very poorly worded! Uni exams definitely don't go through the same "quality control" process as VCE/HSC exams lol.
The worst one was in a Physics exam. I've noticed University Physics Professors are NOT the best in writing exam questions with English that makes it clear what it is your meant to do. I'm doing this paper and during reading time I come across a question and as always try and mentally figure out ways of going about it and I kept hitting a brick wall so I think about ways to get around it and arrive at what I think is a plausible way. Ended up taking me 2+ pages with a LOT of hardcore Math to do the question. As it so turns out the question WAS worded weirdly but some of my friends realized how the wording was off and made a fundamental assumption that would have reduced my 2+ pages of working down to half a page.
Ever since then I always assume the worst case scenario before I truly try tackling something with that much effort..
I strongly dislike when people swear.why? :o
Puzzles with pieces that fit together in multiple ways. No wonder my bear was looking wonky.

most relatable post ever.
When you've been advised to complete an informally set task consisting of 1500 words and the deadline to receive 'crucial' feedback is less than 20 hours. Yep, no sense at all.huh
That is not difficult. I can write 2500 words in an hour if I am concentrated.Different people find different things difficult, and that's totally normal. Just because it's easy for you, doesn't mean it's also easy for someone else!
being tired when you have so much to get doneThis is a mood :(
This is a mood :(This week has been hella draining :'(
I was in the lab today and that was draining and I still have stuff to do so I can do my labwork in coming weeks, but tired :(
When you rock backwards on your chair too far and see your life flash before your eyesTeacher: *tells the story of the kid who once rocked back in his chair and fell and died*

Being required to submit in Times New Roman font.I am a fierce time new roman supporter. Arial is okay. Anything else is BAD imo.
I don't know why, but I just really dislike the readability of Times New Roman. For me, it's on the same level as Comic Sans.

The sheeple panic buying, but this time it's lack of milk instead of toilet paper. :')Is it really happening again?? ???
It's certainly no Garamond, which, as we all know, is the best font available.

When you do a past HSC exam paper and see all the pictures replaced with

Jerks that jam up the lab's only autoclave's door so it doesn't open when I actually desperately needed it (I booked in), and jerks that book it out for the whole day the following day >:(
The laser table I need is booked for the next three weeks - typically, people only need it a day at a time. Like, no, it's okay, I didn't need to do my research anyway?? 🙃Big oof :(
Realising that we're only 100 days out from the VCE English Exam.....Literally the worst thing. I want this year to be over but also for exams to not be so close!
can't decide what shits me more - 'rona itself or the people that downplay/straight up deny it.definitely the latter! Its infuriating when people nay say just to undermine for the sake of it ESPECIALLY about rona stats

Restarted my laptop. Had 20+ important tabs open, and I can't recover any of them. Time to die.I feel you! I had a school zoom session going on and my laptop decided to switch off :'(
I would've tossed cookiesI've never heard this expression before and I love it.
attend my uni campus for labwork under the current stage 4 restrictions, I'm not flouting the rules ❤ please stay home as much as you can. :)
Oh wow, that's actually really interesting - our honours students aren't allowed to go in at allThe provost or someone high up allowed Monash Parkville to continue with honours having exemptions- I can't stay there if all I'm doing is paperwork etc but I can come in if I need lab facilities (thank God otherwise I'd be pretty fucked haha)

Something about the faculty falling under either bio/medical research, "research in facilities that Australia has a competitive edge", or scientific professional services (at least that's what some reasons are from my understanding)
I rarely leave my house. I rarely get phone calls. And yet somehow I frequently get called when I'm on the bus.
having stuff to do but being tired and sluggish making everything so much of an effort
Did I ever mention I don't actually own PJs and just sleep in whatever clothes I wore that day?That's... stank, my guy. I have a weird mixture of respect and horror knowing the sheer amount of bacteria and waste built up on your clothing every day but also knowing that you don't give a rat's left butt cheek about it

I am honestly spilling coffee on myself like 5-10 times per day at the moment.I hate this, I do it too :(
I hate this, I do it too :(
It's becoming more regular, too! I'm not sure if I'm becoming clumsier or what, but I can imagine my keyboard being very nervous all day haha.has spilling all this coffee helped you finish them while they're still warm, or have you had to adapt and drink even slower to make sure they are still stone cold before you finish them?

I am honestly spilling coffee on myself like 5-10 times per day at the moment.If you're drinking coffee 5-10 times a day, that probably explains why

@J41 Has what you're drinking from changed? I imagine it's harder to spill a takeaway or keep cup on yourself than a mugI spill more out of takeaway and keep cups than mugs 🙈
Filling a glass with not water, finishing the drink, then forgetting both its contents and to rinse the glass. Then subsequently filling said glass with water and drinking said water. Eurgh.Related: forgetting to finish the tea you make.

Hayfever.That sucks :(
Mine isn't locked to just spring but having to dive for the Zyrtec halfway through winter is a new low :(
That sucks :(Nothing but zyrtec works for me 😂🤷🏼♀️ the wonders of different medicines and techniques to treat the same thing 😅
Have you tried flo rinse? I found that it reduced my hayfever symptoms during summer.
Hayfever.

All these lockdowns makes me very glad that I've finished uni before all this started to happen.
This is so very sad to see
It's quite upsetting to see how some of the students are feeling this semester. They are struggle to make friends, and they feel really disconnected from their peers and aren't getting the proper university experience. I try and put the experiments into context of where it applies in the real world, but even then, its difficult to get them to stay engaged.
It is now spring yet it still feels like winter. I don't remember spring being this cold.Spending many beautiful sunny days chained to my desk and now being stuck with terrible weather once exams are finally over.
