Gear grinder?
Something like this.

I have a friend who's a complete bandwagoner.

Xbox is better than PS3, but he hasn't played a PS3, except for his cousins. (understandable)

Loves CoD, says Battlefield is terrible, hasn't played it.

Says GT5 has better graphics, but Forza has better gameplay, without playing either. :irked:

Changes his NFL team during the playoffs like 3 or 4 times. Then brags to me how the Giants won. He's a Jets fan. :rolleyes:

And in group school work yesterday, he just sat and talked to his cousin sitting next to him while barely doing any work, leaving me and my other friend to do it, and the teacher tells me I have to give more effort to get into the honors class. :mad:

People like that are annoying

When a teacher says on my report that I 'failed to hand in the extended homework on slavery' when I handed it to her early. :mad:

Something similar happened to me once. Coming up for our fourth year exams, our English teacher was going through everyone's record to make sure everyone had done all the required coursework.

She read the names out in the same order as the register. She skipped out my name, which I knew was a bad sign. After going through the whole class and telling people what they were missing, she says "Craig. You have massive gaps in your folio. Stay behind after class".

I stay behind and she starts telling me the pieces that are missing. I had done all of them. She asks me where they are and I told her they were in my book. She had graded them all too. :mad:

She opens her desk and lifts out everyone's book. She starts going through them and says "Your book isn't here, you'll need to do it all again".I looked down at her drawer and could see the cover of a book sticking out from underneath a bunch of paperwork. Not wanting to do two years worth of coursework again, I reach down and pick it up. She snaps "Don't go through my drawers" (Yes, I am aware of the innuendo) And I hand her the book and tell her it's mine.

She flicks through the book containing all the articles that had already been graded by her. She then tells me to go.

In my next class, some of the guys were taking the 🤬 out of me because of what happened. The next day, I was back in her English class. I raised my hand, and the 🤬 ignored me for nearly ten minutes. Eventually, she looked at me and said "What is it?"

I asked her for an apology. She was livid and tried to give me a punishment exercise. I told her I wasn't doing it as I hadn't done anything wrong. She sent me to the headteacher, who was actually okay. My headteacher asked me to do the punishment exercise and I told her that I wasn't doing it, and she could call my father if she wanted. She didn't, and I didn't have to do the punishment exercise.

Two years before that incident, another teacher tried to give me a punishment exercise because the chair I was sitting in broke and I fell to the floor. Again, I told this teacher (my french teacher) that I wasn't going to do it. Long story short, I got sent to the headteacher's office. She phoned my dad, who asked to speak to me. I told him what happened. He asked to speak to her and told her that he wouldn't make me do it.

My school was terrible. At least my Dad was reasonable.
 
This damn depressed feeling grinds my gears. I should be happy because I'm accomplishing everything I want to, excelling at my favourite sport, but I feel like 🤬.
 
I'm home alone at the moment, and I'm stupidly paranoid. Especially when it's dark out.

That's happened to me too. Disorganized teachers need to get their stuff sorted out.

Same here. One time our English teacher nearly failed the entire grade because she lost all the papers.
 
I'm losing teachers. Like they're just leaving the school. I've had 3 awesome teachers. One is retiring in March which is 3 months before school ends, the other left last week and just didn't tell us, and they were really good teachers, but my 2nd favorite of the 3 is still there (but for how long?)
 
Today, people from some of the high schools came to talk to us about their school and to answer questions and whatnot. One person asked what time school started next year. Turns out school starts at 7:30 next year, and ends at 2:00. That's just too much; at our middle school, school starts at 8:54. How ridiculous. :yuck:

In like 5th grade some kid pulled the chair from behind me I think and I fell, teacher blamed me, made me call home.

She told my parents I was a "class clown" and all this lying crap. Pisses me off thinking about it still.

That's how my school is. You get used to it but never like it.

Let's hope I adapt quickly. Gonna be really weird waking up when it's still dark, as I've never really had to on a regular basis before. Oh well.

Same problem here. All the teachers are leaving and changing. The singing teacher left. And so did the graphics teacher. Who were good teachers. It's damn annoying.
 
I just checked my schools website and it says that school isn't cancelled today. :grumpy: It's snowed lots for goodness sake.
 
^

Just don't go and say that you were snowed in. We got snowed in and there was (compared to the rest of the world) hardly any snow.
 
Actually I've just gone out the front door '(I know its 5.39 am, I was curious) and it's hardly any really. Just a couple of centimetres. :(
 
Meh. It would make my high school close if all of the roads were iced in and had more than a foot of snow on top. Even then if the 5 snow days were used up, you get no more free days, so I often more than once in a winter season had to walk through snow that was a foot high. I had one winter where the snow was plowed into 6 foot or taller piles.
 
There was only a couple inches of snow here, but the roads were so icy I couldn't push the scooter I use to get to school. Teen drivers shouldn't be able to drive in that weather especially, yet we didn't even have a two-hour delay. Also, I either sprained or twisted my ankle, it's swollen, but I don't have time in school right now to ice or wrap it.
