why are people so stupid? 08.27.
5:16 pm Uncategorizedi’ve just been in a bad mood today because everyone has been getting on my nerves. For example, in spanish we have an open note test tomorrow. and I type out all my notes when I get home so I will be more organized and such. Well nobody in that class even takes notes, so when we were reviewing today, and someone saw my notes they were like “hey can you print me off one!” and then everyone starts asking me, and I have a problem with being too nice. However, I was getting frustrated because I spent an hour or more every night compiling my notes from the day on the computer. and I’m not just going to let my hardwork go to waste and give it to other people who are too lazy and dont do work themselves. but I feel really mean when I say no because then everyone will be like damn mark is an ass. but whatever, you gotta do what you got to do. Today after practice when we were stretching, I had to go to the bathroom so everyone got started stretching without me. I’m always in the front because the captains are in the front leading the stretches. Well another senior on our team decides he wants to stay up there and I tell him to move. and he was being very stupid about it. He was like NO I GOT HERE FIRSTTTT. and I was already mad from the day and I didn’t want to fight with him so I was just like whatever. and then one of the other wannabe captains was like “Mark you are more of a captain than him, you aren’t doing a very good job of being a captain!” and I was just like “I dont want to fight with him, so I really don’t care.” People are just irrating me lately. Yes, our coach told me I was a captain privately, but I don’t go around and boast about my power and tell everyone to bow down. Thats the only reason why anyone wants to be captain on our team, because they want to tell people what to do. While yes, that is what captains do, but they also have to be respectful and be able to handle things in a mature way. Yes I am a captain and I SHOULD be at the front of the line, but i’m not going to curse him out and make him move. Being a captain is a person that your other teammates should look up to and trust me, you don’t want to look up to this kid. He doesn’t even come to practice, does horrible in school, and used to do drugs, not sure if he still does or not, and yeah not very fond of him.
and another thing that bothers me is that people are trying so hard to do things that make themself look like a captain. and it annoys me so much. Like one of the seniors decided to call on a team meeting to talk about problems we are having. and they made an announcement over the P.A. saying that cross country runners need to meet after school. and I’m just like WTF? first of all you are not a captain, and you are just trying to do something that will make you look good. and then I hate how people suck up and just try way too hard to impress the coach. It’s so annoying and immature. If he thinks you are a good person, he will see it and doesn’t need you to be in his face all the time. I guess the overall thing that is bothering me about the whole cross country situation is that we have several people who think they are captains and they aren’t. They try to do, act, plan, and talk as if they are a captain when they are not and it bugs the hell out of me.
I’ve just been annoyed with people in general lately. Immaturity is something that i’m ready to leave along with high school.
omg, I know what you mean! My best friend and I have been having discussions about all of the annoying little freshman at our university. I mean, even last year’s freshman (I am a junior) weren’t THAT bad, but these newbies just think they own the damn place. They think that by being loud, obnoxious, and cursing, giggling at the teacher because he has an accent and mispronounces a few words, wearing the shortest and thinnest skirt/dress they could find, and exchanging numbers with random guys/girls in Jamba Juice line make them superior, but in reality they just look like… freshman.
“If he thinks you are a good person, he will see it and doesn’t need you to be in his face all the time.”
Exactly. Just keep that in mind. What they are doing is basically pointless for them, because in the end, it’s not necessarily going to help them! I dislike people who can’t be mature about things and do what they are supposed to. That whole, “i was here first” stuff is extremely childish. He needs to learn to be the adult that he soon will be or is !
;__; I have the same issues, about being too nice as well. The main reason why I became a slacker in school was because I eventually got tired of everyone taking advantage of my niceness to get homework that they didn’t complete from me. It’s hard for me to lie, so I was never able to say I didn’t do the assignment when I knew I had. So, I just stopped doing my homework so that I would be telling the truth. Sad that I had to go there, but that’s how much it annoyed me. I also think they same though. The reason why I find it hard to say no is because I don’t want to look like a biatch to people, because I truly know that I’m not one ._. …
Good that you handled the situation right. I know a lot of people who would without a thought blow up at that kid that stood in front. But as a captain, you need to tell that person even if you seem harsh, you’re doing your job and other people need to know that.
As for the being nice thing… It is your hard work and if they can’t get their lazy asses off the TV-watching couch and do some work then they shouldn’t even be asking you for notes. Maybe if you traded work it would be fair. But if you’re just giving it to them for free, then it’s not. I used to do this too and then pretty soon everyone (even people who weren’t in my class) asked me for notes. But you gotta keep a firm ground.
