Agreed. Men can be flaky too, but yeah, at least you know where you stand with them.
I'd like to say that I'm not a nebulous woman. When I tell someone I'm going to do something, I do it. And on time. I don't make them waste their time because I'm too lazy to actually let someone know what's going on.

It's the very last section of this. |

Thaaaaat's Something Awful! *jazzhands*  (Also the Drakengard LP on SA is absolutely amazing, which is where the whole jazzhands thing is coming from) |

Now I'm reading SA. The world is a scary, stupid place. Weekend Web is easily my favorite. That's what that video was from. They took a bunch of old Weekend Web posts and made a cartoon out of them. There are three other videos in total, which can be found in the Flash Tub section. There's some really good stuff in Comedy Goldmine, too. The stories about people working for Rent-A-Center are rather amusing, along with the ones about bad Christmas gifts. |

The dumbing down of weather forecasts. I know I'm the one with the problem, but goddamn that shit drives me crazy.
At first I thought it was a few isolated cases, but now it seems like any I check the weather, it's always "it's minus so and so, and with the wind it feels like..."
I know what windchill factor means, fuckface, I've known since I was in grade five! For crying out loud, this is Canada!

Okay, the last one was just a little neurotic, but some additions:
- Getting bullshitted by education establishments - So, I just got my letter of *conditional* acceptance into college (I'll be studying to be a pharmacy tech, don't know if I mentioned that on the board yet) which requires that I pay my $400 deposit to reserve a seat (fine) and meet the *conditions* of my acceptance (also fine), one of which is to go back and pass grade 11 chemistry (again, totally fine, makes sense given the course I signed up for)
The bullshit rub comes purely in the fact that, on their website, brochure, and as repeated in the one-on-one meeting with a recruiter, the actual course requirement was for a credit in either chemistry or biology. Waaay back in high school, I had taken biology, and up until this very moment, I was under the impression that this perhaps not the preferred credit to have, but was nonetheless acceptable.
Why did they wait until just now to tell me this? Instead of being able to prepare for this otherwise reasonable request in advance, I now have only a couple of weeks to drop four hundred loonies to reserve a seat for a course on the gamble that I'll meet the requirements by the end of September. Not that I'm not confident in my ability to pass a grade 11 science class, but it does kind of feel like I've been jerked around. If they wanted me to have a chem credit, why not just say that in the course requirements? It's hardly an unrealistic thing to ask for. Why pretend either one is good enough?
Now I gotta clear out time in my work schedule (which cuts into my saving for tuition, funny how that works) in order to take a night course, and again, not that I was or am unwilling to do it, but... jesus, why even bother saying one thing if you mean the other? Where I come from, we call that bullshit.
also... Blackberries.
come on.
Do I even need say why?

Ah, this is always fun. I was just talking to a co-worker, and he essentially said that Muslims = terrorists. He's former Army and served in the first Gulf War, so I can understand it to a point, but hate is still hate.

My best friend admitted two days ago that it pisses him off if he sees a sign in which Spanish text is written above English text. I thought I understood where he was coming from (our neighborhood is pretty heavy on the Hispanic population, and he said he didn't want to feel like a minority in his own damn country) but when I tried reasoning that maybe those signs are Spanish-first, English-second because they've been put up in places where it's far more likely that the customer base consists of Spanish-only readers, and that English-readers rarely visit. He didn't seem to understand my logic. He just repeated himself about not wanting to be a minority.
At that point I figured there's no way I could reason with him and elected to drop it. (Then again...he admits that he's extremely Southern, and that this is where his mind set comes from. Doesn't mean I take any comfort in that...)

'round here, that kind of ignorance is generally reserved for the French.
I get really tired of hearing "those damn Frenchies, they're so rude to you just because you don't speak their stupid language, bunch of ignorant snobs."
Yes, and they say things like that while completely oblivious to the irony of the statement.

But French Canadians are rude to you if you don't speak French. That's just a fact.

I wouldn't know...
But even if that's true, is it not at least a bit hypocritical to lump an entire group of people together, based only on their first language, and call them all ignorant?
Besides, are you telling me you've never once gotten impatient with someone because you wanted to tell/ask them something and their English wasn't very good?
