Gristle
Wow... today was one long boring trawl... virtually no college at all today, I should be happy, but I've got to share my English class tomorrow with a thoroughly dislikeable degenerate who finds it amusing that i am socially inept. Maybe that's one more thing to add to the end of my "to do before I die" list - wreak revenge upon those who have opposed me (though within means of the law, of course - I'm not a bloody psychopath - and besides, death would be far too much of a luxury for some of these people)... oh well, dire thoughts I guess. Spending the next couple of days with Chad, should take my mind of trivial affairs such as mentioned.
HEATHCLIFF PRESENTS 25 THINGS WHICH NARK ME OFF!
#2 - BUS DRIVERS
Don't get me wrong, not all bus drivers are surly, malevolent and sadistic. It's only the 80% majority. The job of a bus driver is to escort local people to areas which they cannot access via walking for a small fee - however, the majority of bus drivers I have had to deal with all treat their customers as if they are the bane of their existence rather than their trade! It beggars belief how a bus driver can sit at the wheel with the bus doors shut with people outside waiting to get on, trying to complete the daily crossword puzzle. And then, to add insult to injury, they bite our heads off and swallow the gristle by moaning at us when we don't state where we want to go correctly, or if a passenger is too slow getting on the bus, or if they have to deal with - horror of horrors - a pound coin rather than exact change! I'd like to point one fact out to bus drivers in general - you may be pissed off, and have had a bad day dealing with hordes of pensioners and hood-wearing monstrosities, but frankly, that doesn't mean that everyone else is having the time of their lives - some of us have to work the exact same hours as you! Basically, two qualifications are needed to become a bus driver - you need to be able to drive, and you also need to be a miserable bastard who hates everyone and everything. That's from what I've seen, anyway.
You can now view my 25 pet peeves and much more as I type them via my pet project at http://peeved.blogspot.com. Ciao, peoples.
