Complain about your stupid and probably insignificant problems

1.)

It sucks being the nice guy who goes to school prepared. There's always people who want stuff from you because they didn't come to class prepared, like looking at notes, borrowing a freakin pencil (You're going to school, how could you not bring a pencil?), and paper. These are necessary things, and while I do give the supplies to them, they just figure that they can leave their stuff at home and just ask me whenever we have the same classes together. When I say "No", they get all riled up, saying that it's just a pencil that they want. But they've had the chance to get a pencil multiple times, I mean, how hard can it be to bring a pencil to school? SCHOOL OF ALL THINGS.

I know it sounds silly, but when it's been 4 days in a row and they still haven't come prepared because they've been surfing the net, my patience wains. And of course, one day I will have forgotten a pencil, and they won't give me one of their extras because I had stopped giving them ones.

2.)

I've been emotionally depressed this past week, and I feel like crap. Seriously, I feel like incompetent idiocy wrapped up in skin. I've been messing up my sentences, getting facts wrong when asked to do stuff, and feeling like a dunce in front of everybody. I feel hurt when my friends make a sarcastic joke about something to do with me, (Like I said I'd try making a youtube channel, and one of them was like, "lol, we all know how THAT'S gonna turn out!") and I just want to be non depressed. Really, the only thing that I have that's keeping me sane is the fact that I know that I'm not that bad at art in a way. But that's not much when I've got so much stress baring down on me.
 
Funnily enough I just got my driver's license 2 weeks ago in Maryland. If you can do a parallel which is really just about technique (I just memorized how my driving instructor taught me and I don't even have to think about what I'm doing during the parallel) and backing into a vertical space, then it is quite easy. After that you do have to go out on the road, but just take it really slow; always go 5-10 mph under the speed limit just to be safe. Makes it easier to stop at stop lines, etc. The road portion is actually very easy and you shouldn't worry about it at all. The instructors really just want to make sure you know how to stop, use a turn signal, check your mirrors when necessary, and how to merge lanes.

I think the test might be a better preparatory measure if you had to go out on a highway and deal with the nutcases on I-95, but I doubt that would help too much.
 
Now shouldn't the tag to this thread be f = ml?

Also this is going entirely the other direction of this thread, but I find it relieving to drive in my car on the highway listening to music pretty loudly after a stressful day.

Almost everyone in my school are idiots. They have no common sense, and are incredibly naive; eg they think that everything is all rainbows and chocate as their lives are too innocent. School only teaches you to not handle rejection by only complimenting.

Many people, including me, have thought this at some point in our lives. At some point, though, we have to realize that it's a kind of arrogance to think this way. All it does is make us feel better temporarily while giving us an excuse to pull even further away from social interaction. The irony is, it's guaranteed somebody else feels the same way about you.

This isn't to say that people should never complain about stuff that happens to them. It's just that it's easy to take it too far.
 
I haven't eaten chocolate for 9 years, because stupid factory owners can't get their shit together and guarantee that their chocolate is nut free. FU allergies.
I can't even remember its taste.

Why don't you single out a brand or two which do not include nuts in their list of ingredients at all?

My sister has a nutmeg allergy and we basically do that sort of stuff with every retail processed stuff we usually consume.
 
My parents house has a terrible septic system, so if to many people take a shower, it comes out of the bathroom toilet downstairs. So I can't take showers for days on end and at the same time have to do yard work for my parents.

Also, toilet paper also causes the toilets to back up... so we have to throw my crap smeared paper into the garbage, for all to see and smell.

because all chocolates are gonna be produced in factories containing nuts, even those which don't themselves include nuts. if your allergies are really severe, that can still be enough to set them off
 
smogon tour keeps getting my hopes up, but i'm finally out of the running so now i can sit back and not care

so far today, $3,000,000 continues to elude my grasp, but I remain hopeful in the face of adversity

I just can't even eat chocolate whatsoever. I've been allergic to it for a while now, and everyone says it's so good. I can't even smell it or my allergies act up.

I have a nut allergy too and I fucking LOVE chocolate. I've never found a nut in a chocolate bar that isn't supposed to have them, so I think you're just really paranoid. Then again, my allergy might not be as bad as yours.

I can't speak for Froghtejoghurt here (sorry if I spelled that wrong, by the way), but I've never heard of anyone with a mild allergy to nuts. For some reason, nut allergies are always very severe, to the point of being lethal if not treated right away.

That is because most nut allergens (because of the nature of the protein) are more commonly associated with the histamine cells lining the respiratory system (and so the response time is faster).
It's not uncommon to have a mild reaction though, but those that do have a mild reaction have a tendency to "lose" the allergy.

The reason I ask is because obviously there is "severe" as in the person would be really unwell for a week if they ate a nut and there is "severe" as in the person could collapse if they so much as smell a nut. (Obviously it's actually more of a scale). There are products targeted at those with allergies, but if you are in the latter category its probably best to avoid them.

And it's probably something better to ask a doctor than some strangers on the internet. But hey-ho I'm bored.

yeah for people who have a nut allergy, especially peanut allergies which are generally really severe, it's not just "oh better watch out for any nuts in my chocolate!" it's more like "hmmm gonna have to read the label and if it even says 'this product was made in a plant that also processes peanuts/tree nuts' then i can't eat it"...i have a horrible peanut allergy and the only chocolates i can reliably eat without risking a reaction are lindt and hershey's. there are some sites out there dedicated to making nut free chocolate but most of it is pretty subpar. also peanut traces are in shit you wouldn't believe, stuff like ice cream, ritz crackers, fucking STRAWBERRY JAM...it's crazy. i have to check the label of everything i eat to make sure there's no random bullshit about nuts.
 
Aye, sister has a peanut allergy too. If it's in the air she starts to swell up. Everyone in my family has an EPI pen just incase of that. Although it's not to the point were "if this was made in a factory in china with nuts inside it" bad.

also i'm allergic to penicillin
 
=[

I hate how I need to do really well in college because of med school. Others can get by with decent grades because that's all they need to do, but I need to work harder than them

I hate how I have to compete with 3000+ teens for 120 spots in med school. Only allowed to fail 4 out of 140 exercises woo.

i also dislike this method of typing without proper capitalization and sometimes punctuation sometimes combined with run-on sentences and then the post ends up being lame. i feel like people only type like this to give their posts a too-cool-for-whatever aesthetic and i just have to disagree; it is ridiculously unappealing to read. it also reminds me of a stream of consciousness thing which i dont mind but it is usually something menial. if you are physically incapable of holding down the shift key then you need to get mavis beacon or something.

I feel guilty: this describes exactly the way i post. i'm sorry for it. however, i personally have the opposite opinion and find capitals and sharply punctuated sentences annoying, and also i feel like typing with capitals implies a kind of assurance in my own posts that i don't really have, so this feels more specified to my specific consciousness and way of thinking/writing. i do understand how it can be frustrating though.

uhh, i obviously did not complain enough. r2--

i'm aware that it's a first world problem, but i'm just so incredibly fucking sick of high school at this point. i can't stand it -- the constant grade-grubbing, the relentless pressure to get into a great college, the immature kids, the hardass teachers, the mountain-high expectations, the criminal treatment.

but, honestly my complaint goes deeper (well, deep in the context of my relatively shallow life and pursuits) than that -- half the side of the coin is covered with shit, but the other side that represents things i am academically, artistically, and intellectually interested in is frustrating for a different reason -- over the last few months i'm convinced that i've gotten substantively stupider (or more retarded, if you will) and i basically live in a constant state of panic/fear/anxiety that i won't be able to measure up to my aspirations and ambitions and won't be able to figure out the right decisions to make for my life (the smart decisions, more accurately). i can't really get pleasure from anything artistic at this point because i drive myself crazy thinking that i don't understand it. and the cherry on the top is my mother who is incredibly sane and doesn't understand that i have some kind of anxiety condition, who basically says nothing to me except "why aren't you working?" and tells me i'm making up all my mental health issues

idk i'm aware that i need to suck things up and work towards college and a better life but i'm so ridiculously and comically afraid that i've somehow fucked up my brain with my anxiety issues that it all seems pointless at this stage in my life. i can't write, think, draw -- everything seems like a multiplex of decisions that i just don't have the skill, talent, and intelligence to navigate.

also furosuto having been that guy for like 11 years i'm unsure why you can't just buy an extra pack of pencils for like 5 dollars at staples. i understand why you're pissed off, and i'm sure that you'll come in monday with a smile and be as helpful as you always are, but is it really that annoying to lend things to your classmates? i'm sorry, i guess i just never really am able to commiserate with complaints along the lines of "these people can't get their shit together!!" because i can't
