Lunch At My School REALLY Makes Me RAGE.

Oh my god. I don't even know where to start on this subject. Like, seriously. It's that bad. Nothing I've ever complained about in my life(EXCEPT maybe slow walkers, which, by the way, is getting its own second post soon.) has annoyed me as much as Lunch at my school.

I guess I'll start at the beginning of the typical Lunch period.

It starts off with you arriving outside the Lunch room. What do you do then? Sit outside the doors until the actual period begins. Then what happens when it begins? You sit there for several MORE minutes. Just to annoy you, you know?

While this is happening, every space around you becomes PACKED with people. I happen to have one of the biggest Lunch periods, so it's even worse for me. Over a hundred people just packed in one hallway. It's freakin' hot in that hallway. All the time. Middle of Winter? Still hot. So many people being around you doesn't make it any better. Then, what else? The people are ANNOYING. And loud. And many smell bad.

While we're all crammed in this small area, you know what else happens? Teachers and SUPER SPECIAL BAND PEOPLE are entering and exiting the lunchroom. Yeah, they didn't leave/enter before the tons of people get there. Instead, they decided to wait until the whole place is crowded, then pry open one of the doors, and force their way through the giant crowd.

Generally, we have to wait for at LEAST five minutes after the period actually begins to be allowed in the Lunchroom. Why? Because the DAMN TEACHERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO OPEN THE DOORS ARE ALWAYS LATE. Like, wtf. Every day, at least one of them is late, and instead of opening doors without them, other teachers wait for them. Nice job holding up 100+ people, teacher person...

It doesn't get any better when they open the doors.

When the doors open, it's like everyone goes bat shit insane. Everyone just PILES into the room. People push people in. Multiple people try to enter at once, often causing jams. People push people out of the way, cut in front of others, and shove others behind the doors, making them unable to escape for a while. It's horrible. Freakin' VULTURES, man...

But, it doesn't stop there. Sometimes it is WORSE than that. For whatever reason, occasionally, they decide to just open one door. Just one. There's other people in there to open doors. But do they open theirs? NOPE. Oh my god seriously I HATE it when one door opens. It's a giant clusterfuck. 100+ people trying to cram into one door a few feet wide? OH MY GOD ANNOYANCE AT ITS FINEST.

But the annoyance does not stop once you are inside. Oh, no, far from it. It's almost as bad when you're actually in the lunch line.

You see, people cut in line. All. The. Time. You'd be standing there, and suddenly five+ people just go in front of you. And you know what else? Nobody says a word to them. There's a teacher standing right at the line, and he never says ANYTHING to them. Soon, the entrance to the part where you actually got your food turns into a giant mass of people because so many people cut. Only chance of avoiding this is if you get there VERY early.

Then, some people just walk RIGHT through the side doors of where you actually get food. Right past multiple lunch people AND a few teachers. And they still serve them. Don't send them out, they serve them. What. The. Frak.

Seriously, RAGE.

When My Power Goes Out At Four in the Afternoon and Comes Back at 1:45 In the Morning.

What the heck, yo. I'm just peacefully using my computer on my free day off from school. Everything is great, I have raspberry green iced tea, I'm comfy, the temperature in my room was perfect. Just having a good ol' time. Then, all of a sudden, I hear BAM. Then, what happens? NO POWER BRO.

Now, I was obviously quite confused. It's not everyday you hear a bam followed by no power. So, I put on three more pairs of pajama pants, three pairs of socks, boots,jacket, and head outside. I notice a truck up the street. "Oh goodie!" I thought "They're already working on fixing it. This shouldn't take too long."

Walking up to see what was wrong, what did I see when I got up there? A giant ass branch lying on the ground, pressing down wires, while I see a quite destroyed transformer. Yep. Because of a damn TREE, I was without power. DFHDGHEGBNJB TREES. WHAT HAVE THEY EVER DONE FOR ME? NOTHING, THAT'S WHAT. NOTHING BUT CAUSE ME PAIN.

So I talked to the people up there about what had happened. They told me pretty obvious things(Yeah, man, I didn't know it was a tree that caused it, I'm blind). Then, what did they tell me? My power wouldn't be back for a while, because THEY were not fixing it. They were blocking the area until the fixer people came. RAGE.

Fast forward a few hours later. I still have no power. Everyone in my house is going insane. My dad is reading The Divine Comedy aloud for no reason by candlelight. My brother is ranting about how miserable the day was. My sister was hiding under her blanket for hours. My mom was being her usual weird, annoying self. Meanwhile, I am trying to maintain my sanity by playing POKEMON and Golden Sun: The Lost Age while blasting Pink Floyd and Meatloaf.

This went on for a few more hours. Eventually, by 12 AM, most people went off to sleep, since we still had no power. It was bloody fucking cold in my house, due to no heating due to no power. There was little light except for what candles were set. People were STILL working on the power.

I decided to try to sleep as well, though I ended up playing more POKEMON/Golden Sun: The Lost Age. And listening to Pink Floyd/Meatloaf. Then, out of nowhere, my power came back on at 1:45. TOOK THEM FREAKIN' LONG ENOUGH, YO. I happily race downstairs and begin doing exactly what I had been doing before power went off for two hours.

Rage.

People Who Walk Slowly Really Make Me Rage

For serious. Really, why must people walk so slow? It's just so... God, move faster. Please? It makes me mad. They just take their time, oh-so-slowly making their way through the hallway at school. Don't care that I was on a roll with my speed walking. They just want to be lazy and go slow. I mean, what is the point? Do they want to potentially be late to their next class? Or do they want others do?

Don't even get me started on people who walk slowly IN GROUPS. OH MY GOD THAT MAKES ME MAD. They just get four people, all next to each other, and walk. So. Very. God. Damn. SLOWLY. gijbghfsbghrbrehvbgrjvbgtrew. It's bad enough that you are walking slowly, but you just HAVE to make it so everyone else has to go slowly as well? Here's an idea, form a group that does NOT take up the whole hallway, so people can pass you and your slowness.

What makes the above worse is when it's annoying people who are walking slowly. Letting out insanely annoying, hyena-like laughs all the time at horrible jokes, and making tons of noise. You have to put up with this for so long, due to them walking slowly. And you have no chance of escaping this. None. They going the same way you are? You are SCREWED. You will never get past them until you reach your class.

Another extra ragetastic thing is when people cut in front of you, AND THEN WALK SLOWER THAN YOU. Wtf? If you were going to walk so slowly, why not get behind me? I was clearly walking much faster than you were, so why are you making me walk at your slower speed? What's worse is when people just STOP for no reason and stand there while you're trying to get by.

And there's my rage rant. :D Peace.
