1. A teacher spending talking the entire period about their life--and then complaining about a lack of time at the end of the period
2. Having to sit and listen to your math teacher explain how to do something VERY simple (finding the zero of functions, for example) on a calculator
3. People who do bad in school so they can go to summer school
4. People who use drugs and brag about it like they are better than you
5. People who are late to class just because they are talking in the halls

-When you ask a teacher a question and they assume you know nothing about the topic and proceed to lecture for 15 min. on a topic everyone knows.
-When people assume I'm not always right. :P j/k
-Teachers sitting there showing kids how to enter data in lists (in junior year) while you sit with the points already plotted, playing Mario

1- happened yesterday in FST class. i think we all know how to make a stem and leaf plot as sophomores and juniors, am i right?
3- happened two days ago in FST class. except it was Raylin's Gravity instead of Mario.

- when your FST teacher tells you something is impossible on your calculator, and then you accomplish it. happened today in FST class, go figure.

Whats FST class? And lol to those

And wow 2 pages in less than a day, unexpected.

it stands for Functions Statistics and Trigonometry. god only knows why my school doesn't call it something normal, like pre-calc or just trig, since it's mainly trig anyway.

apcalc, i actually kinda like the #4. the people who brag about drugs like they're better than you. build up their self esteem and then watch them struggle for college.

-When people try to prove me wrong when I know I am right, especially when I am showing them proof.
-When Starcraft players who automatically accuse others of hacking when they lose or insult their teamates for not helping them, when the teamates were spending their entire time defending them earlier and now are preparing a small army to distract the enemy
-When people who try to force me to do stuff I don't want to do and continue insisting until I get angry at them
-Thieves (although I don't care if someone pirate softwares or music. Just don't claim my music as your own, nor my programs)
-Trolls that harrasses you or try to provocate fights
-Trolls that makes fun of you, then when you react badly, badmouth you because you cannot take a joke, even if it was initially not meant to be one.
-The following 3:
Quote
-When people use the word "retarded" for people who are just not smart or as a word to describe something (an adjective, if you will).
1. A teacher spending talking the entire period about their life--and then complaining about a lack of time at the end of the period

4. People who use drugs and brag about it like they are better than you

And MOST importantly:
-People in real life who forces you to live your life how they want, then bullies you if you mess up or don't answer their wishes. (Something that almost costed you an admin here at a few occasions.)

New ones for me:

The insane amount of homework that the IB program requires you to do.
Not getting to sleep when you want to.
Enemy high templar + psionic storm + your drones/SCVs/probes = no more income.

-When code that should work, doesn't.
-When people underestimate your coding abilities
-Getting so beyond frustrated that you can't do anything
-When people rate you down merely because you program on calculators

I hate that too x.x

In SC2 one thing I hate are banshee and void rays rushes (it's so easy to get air units early now with terran/toss, and Zerg anti-air sucks x.x)

People who can't figure this math question out in under 10 sec in their head. ( it took my math teacher over 40 min to figure it out in math class.)
   what is the smallest integer x can be in this equation?   (2^x)/6

Maybe they cant figure it out because its not an equation?

1. Retarded kids in school

2. Computer retarded computer people who think they are right and everyone is stoopid

3. Little kids on the X-Box who cry, whine, curse, and try to tell their parents on you if you kill them or something (none of which are better than the child himself)

Hey, can you please watch the use of that word?


x.x

sorry, I corrected it

that is definitely the worst, especially if said person is someone(or someones) you live with.

lmao i have a list of over 50 of these on fb.... i'll take out some choice ones...

1.IE
2.bloatware
3.formspring.me
4.Reduced fat food that claims to taste the same as the original but doesn't
5.People who try to talk like they know something where they don't. Just admit that you're not that great and we'll help you, or at the very least we won't care that much.

oh and that math thing....afaik there are no restrictions on that expression besides x has to be an integer....so smallest x could be is-∞?....i'm not sure....feel stupid..

True, especially when it costs us quiz-taking time. :(

infinity is not an integer...

And infinity minus a seemingly equal infinity isn't zero >:(

  • coding something a couple thousand lines long, finding that it doesn't work, then going through half the code before realizing you made a mistake on one character.
  • stupid things Notepad does
  • political ads that go completely against logic to promote their position to people who never take the time to actually think about the claims (like the one I just watched that claims tax hikes and program cuts raise national debt ???)
  • putting the finishing touches on a webpage, then realizing that it looks completely different in a certain browser
