What pissed you off today?

[Sir_Winston54]

What's pissed me off today? Well, over the past three minutes, at least two people who are apparently functionally illiterate wasting pixels in the Talk forum, and my time *trying* to figure out what they're babbling about. In both cases, I gave it up as a bad job not wanted.

I 'heart' boobies bracelets stay banned at Wis. school

A federal district court judge has denied a request by the ACLU of Wisconsin to end a ban on “I ♥ Boobies! (Keep A Breast)” bracelets at the Sauk Prairie Middle School in Wisconsin.

The court characterized the Keep A Breast foundation's slogan as a "vulgar and sexually provocative statement."

The ACLU responded. Attorney Tamara Packard said, "Our middle school client is dedicated to effectively and constructively educating her peers about breast cancer. It is disappointing that this decision will leave in place a ban on student speech that conveys our plaintiff’s belief that breast cancer is a critical women’s health issue of our time. The very purpose of the bracelets is to educate other young people about cancer prevention, testing, research and treatment."

The suit was filed a year ago on on behalf of a middle school student at Sauk Prairie Middle School who, along with many classmates, wore an “I ♥ Boobies! (Keep A Breast)” bracelet to school for months before the district banned them.

A federal district court in Pennsylvania stopped a ban on the bracelets last year and issued an opinion that the bracelets could not be considered lewd or vulgar. That case is on appeal.

The ACLU of Wisconsin and the Sauk Prairie student are evaluating their appeal options in the Wisconsin case.​

The ignorance and misogyny of the school and the federal district judge in this case are disgusting.

So I dragged myself to the grocery store today, and now I'm so worn out that I could hardly bring all my stuff in and put it up. It's not like "fat person out of shape" tired. It's like muscle weakness and trembliness (yes, I made up a word) all over. I do *not* need this crap right now.

Warm, soft hugs, Bunny!




Family pissed me off today. There's a reason that my ex sister-in-law thought I was the one to be most feared...

3 hours for a new patient visit. Ridiculous

I swear to God, the next yapping-ass dog that barks at me when I walk out of my own goddamn house headed toward my own goddamn car gets holes blown in it. I'm so fucking tired of this bullshit.

If you can do a half-decent imitation of a big dog barking, you'll scare the shit out of him/her/it.

I'll try it. Do you think it'll get the rest of the fucking dog symphony around here stirred up, too?

If you work it right, you could get them all together in a rousing rendition of "Bark Me, Maybe."

Fuck me. If that happens, I'm shooting myself.

WTF???

I'm just posting the headline and the link. I don't even want to sully my computer's RAM by copy-pasting the text.

WTF??? Part II

Piedmont HS warns parents of "fantasy slut league" among students

PIEDMONT, Calif. (KGO) -- An alert by the principal of Piedmont High School has raised concerns among parents. In a letter sent last week, the principal says his staff discovered a so-called "fantasy slut league" among students.

In the letter, Principal Rich Kitchens describes "a 'Fantasy Slut League' in which our female students (unbeknownst to most of them) are drafted as part of the league...Male students earn points for documented engagement in sexual activities with female students."​

There's more, of course, in the original article, linked through the headline.

Just miscommunication. One small misunderstanding that starts the whole ball rOlling down hill.

8 hours later, a shitload of tears, and you wonder why the universe plays such a perverse trick

Lack of courtesy

"Gentlemen", I don't mind helping. I actually enjoy helping you but I expect common courtesy. For instance when you use my words and imagination for your satisfaction a little "thank you" goes a long way. Even a "good bye that was fun" would suffice. Is that too much to ask I think not. So those of you, and yes you know who you are, that can't find it in your vocabulary are here forth cut off. If you want to get back in my good graces it had better be a very imaginative apology. There are gentlemen here that will get my time and efforts instead.

Pissed me off today

I stopped to let a woman that was walking her dog cross the street. She wasn't at a cross walk.

The guy behind me blew his horn rather incessantly.

After the lady crossed. It took me a little bit to get going again.

 

[seela]

My laptop is this close to giving up on me. Come on lappy, I need the money to hire a moving truck and buy new furniture and stuff, I don't want to replace you!

Then again, it's been on the verge of breakdown for about a year now, so that considered lappy's done well. Still pisses me off, though.

I don't know what it is about 'i home school from 9 to 12 every day' that my family does not get, but I swear the next person to wait until 9:02 to call me WILL DIE.

Anytime someone blows their horn at me (and I don't mean a polite toot-toot-the-light-is-green-lady, but BLOWS) I put my car in park and just sit there. Then I turn and wave at the person behind me before I start going again.

It always makes me feel better.

But I also slow down to 15 mph when people climb up my ass until they back off. I have a lead foot - I am NEVER below the speed limit, so there is no reason AT ALL for someone to ride my bumper.

 

[FurryFury]

I didn't know you homeschool! Cool. I'll try to stop calling.

I hate when you take time out of your day to do something *for* someone because they asked you to, and then they have the audacity to bitch about how you did it.

Oh gaaaawd, hunny Bunny....I know just what you mean! I've found you've got to just step over it, and move on....

I try. I really do. I can't decide if I'm just particularly irritable today or if people are particularly stupid. Can I go back to bed until whatever it is passes?
