Stupid Pet Peeves

[Rubashov]

[FalseFlagg K]

morons who crawl through a right turn cycle after sitting waiting for ages and cause you to miss out on that cycle

(left turn for those who drive on the wrong side of the road)

I'm in a sort of "I hate the world" type mood right now...

Sitting at a soccer game when the field has a big “crown” or slant to it.
My oldest had a game recently at Bonneville Jr. High and my eye level was about even with the top of her shin guards.

Not starting 2 of your seniors for the last game of the season when the game means absolutely nothing for postseason. Real classy.

As somebody who’s been there before, let me tell you that the coach is fine in that situation.

Tell your kids to use it as motivation in the future. Remember that HS sports don’t matter.

Remind them that **** doesn’t get handed to you just because of age, rank, or effort. Life isn’t fair, get used to it, and work on earning it. Coaches starting players that haven’t earned it, that doesn’t do much for me.

People who start nearly every sentence with "I mean . . ."

I did it yesterday and literally slapped myself.

There’s soooooo much more to it. I don’t want to go into detail but there’s systemic harassment with the boys sports at this school and the administrators enable it.

 

[Miggs]

Yes

Oy. So you're one in favor of participation trophies?

I know you said you don't feel like it and I respect that but I'm very curious about what that harassment entails.
