PP: Not having a Pet Peeves thread.

[Dr. McNinja]

PP: I have a huge abscess on the back of my neck, I'm gonna need anti-biotics.

AP: My spell checker wanted to change that to "Anti-bionics"

[Buddleia]

PP: doctors who prescribe antibiotics for abscesses instead of draining them. That's like using a deodorant instead of having a good wash when you're covered in mud. (Sorry, my parents are doctors and I work in the NHS - I care about medical stuff.) Get well soon, McNinja.

...Between tablets and oozing puss, I'm going to go with the tablets thanks.

PP: I have $10 in quarters and nobody will change it for a ten dollar bill

[PwntheNoob17]

Go to the bank!!

PP: Having to do laundry.

[Alex]

PP: The same guy that left the puke in my bathroom also pissed all over it.

PP2: Odds are I'm going to end up cleaning it.

[Log!]

PP: My stupid asshole room mate. He leeches off everyone else in the house, eats their food, uses their shit, pays NO rent, and refuses to do anything he doesn't want to do.

PP2: The guys who are actually on the lease for the house (they live here too) have been friends with him for a long time, so they keep coming CLOSE to kicking him out, but never actually doing it, because he'll do a load of dishes, or... actually, no, that's all he'll do to save his ass.

PP: Being the Evil of Society: Long Term Unemployed.
What many Daily Mail Readers (British thing, don't worry about it) don't grasp is that I am unemployed as I was looking for work while... let's just say helping loved ones without getting credit. No work history= no job. And I can't just take *any* job as I have to pay the rent. And why would I want to work 30 or more hours to end up £5 better off after tax, rent, utilities, travel etc? Let those who complain TRY IT. Oh, hang on, due to the economic collapse they are now and guess what? They're not happy. Welcome to my world. And no: no kids, no drugs, qualified, punctual, will do admin/repetitive/customer support/filing. For £14k plus (and that's about the lowest I can do with Tax Credits). Scrub human excrement off floors and you don't get support. Try to find a job you don't get support. Bankrupt a bank and you get millions.
PP2:Scrub human excrement off floors and you don't get support. Try to find a job you don't get support. Bankrupt a bank and you get millions. My late aunt was a care home auxiliary nurse and same boat after her husband died.
PP3:Girlfriend looked after both (late) parents got little help from the state and what little there was was wrong and did more damage than good. She's now still "on the sick" due to physical and psychological problems from that trauma. And she did work but they "lost" her National Insurance Contributions" (tax) so she won't get a state pension.
Britain: "A Land Fit For Heroes" my arse.
Rant over.

PP: My computer won't run TF2, even at lowest specs.
This is a failure of epic proportions

PP: My bro's playing a game REALLY loudly downstairs in the basement/his room. Lots of explosions and whooshing--yet for some REASON I keep hearing the Heavy's voice going 'THANK YOU DOKTOR!" and other various Heavy shouting. Yet I know it's not true. It's bothering me...so much ;A;

[Yutrzenika]

PP: I counted $171 Exact from the money in this jar of money we had kicking around, it's now all rolled into coin rolls, and I was hoping to have it exchanged for cash, and spend it on some games, I missed my chance to go to the bank.

[Log!]

PP: I'm sick. *Koff Koff*

[Cheez]

PP: So, anyone here remember when I said I failed one of my university modules? Well, I did.

It was not a tolerable fail. You need 30% for that, I got 27.

You need to pass or tolerably fail all your modules to proceed to the next level of study (AKA next year's modules).

I did not do this, because I failed one module.

This means I need to repeat this module before I can proceed.

This means that I have to add a year to my 4 year course, because I have to take a year to do one module.

Because I needed THREE MORE FUCKING POINTS. On an optional module.

I want to punch myself and/or get absolutely hammered right now.

PP: If I don't somehow manage to convince the people who decide these things that I should do this repeat module alongside my second year, then there will be no second year as I will have to drop out- by the time it came for me to take the second year, I would have forgotten everything I'd learned previously, and I couldn't afford to take this extra year anyway.

Dropping out means that, without my student loan supplementing my finances, I would be unable to pay my rent, so would have to move back home to Reading. I really do not want to do that. Here in Swansea I have lots of friends and several activities to pass my free time. In Reading I have literally no friends (as most of the people I knew I disliked, and the few I did like have moved out) and hardly anything to do. All I'd have to pass the time is computer games, television or reading. Hell, I wouldn't even be able to get online nearly as much.

Over the holidays, I stayed at my parents' house for about a month or so. I was going crazy with boredom by the end of it. I don't even want to imagine what it'd be like living there full-time.

:c
Not sure how these things work over there, but I assume there isn't some kind of summer or Maymester period where you can take extra classes?
