Paying more on interest than principal on a mortgage..
Doctors becoming soulless businessmen instead or caring for the actual well being of people.

*Katie* · 04-23-2012, 07:08 PM

Doctors who have no business sense and expect banks and investors to bail them out just because they are doctors.

Ditto on lawyers

Bankers who try and sell me on giving money to the above

People who complain about not making enough money, but who do nothing to advance their own careers.

Union dues and stuff? I remember looking at my first paycheck after my first union job and wanting to RIP MY HAIR OUT. I was already making a f*cking pittance, then you're going to drop like 3 different deductions on me, on top of the god damn taxes and CPP sh*t? It was like making $5 an hour.

Yeah I fealt the same after my two Union jobs, now I don't work for Unions any more

No union for me. Just as well, as I read about an elderly worker for Caterpillar who had to do backbreaking work and made less of a wage than me-and he belonged to a union. Also, I've heard of union members who have become disillusioned with them.

Nah, mostly insurance. I changed plans, so hopefully things will be better.

People who pervert everything you say. And everything that comes out of their mouth is some sort of sexual joke...it gets old really fast.

In a similar vein, when I worked at my last job, we had a lady who complained about the size of her checks, about how little she made, but she called in at least once a week. I always thought, "You know what would fix that? Actually showing up to work..."

(Also, not to pick a fight, but was that wasn't directed at anyone in particular, was it?)

*TurtleTitan97* · 04-24-2012, 10:35 PM

People who say dumb and unfunny stuff just so that they can get some attention. So annoying.

People driving while talking on there cell phone, and not using blinkers or paying any attention to other drivers because they are on the phone, and jersey shore, idiots

That makes me go crazy! The worst is when people text and drive. A lot of people don't use blinkers because they think they are pointless for some reason.

I got one, I am taking a journalism course this semester and we are going over writing styles for broadcast news vs. print news. Today a in-class assignment we had, was to take the lead sentence of a news article and rewrite it more concisely with a more active voice as though it were going to be a broadcast news story. Then a few of us were asked to read it to the class while the professor wrote what we wrote on the borad for us to read. She asked the class what were things that were ok and what could be fixed, well this one guy got all defencsive when another student, who was asked by the prof. how the his lead sentice could be better, and he started arguing with the student and then the prof. But when the prof was reading other people's lead sentences he was laughing and and making snide remarks about their work to the person sitting next to him. Ass!

don't you just love those type of students who are know it alls but way sensitive about their work but will bash someone elses?

A lot of people can dish it out but can't handle it themselves, so to speak. It separates the men from the boys.
