Gemonk telah diposkan a soalan asking what the three things that annoyed anda most were. I tried to answer, but unfortunately it was too long and it wouldn’t let me post it. So, I decided to make my answer an article.
1. People who immediately change the subject when they know anda have a point.
2. People who try and convert me and then say I'm not Christian because I believe in reincarnation and not hell and then start trolling me about it.
Example:
Religious-nut: Do anda believe in God?
Me: What?
Religious-nut: Do you???
Me: I guess...
Religious-nut: Good. Do anda believe he's out savior?
Me: I- what?
Religious-nut: Well?
Me: Um, no. I believe that humanity 'saves' and changes itself sejak learning how to become lebih spiritually involved and achieve enlightenment.
Religious-nut: anda mean anda don't believe in Jesus?
Me: I never berkata that.
Religious-nut: But that's what anda meant!
Me: Um, no. My dad's a minister, so...
Religious-nut: For what? A Satanist church?
Me: I'm Christian.
Religious-nut: NUH-UH!
Me: *sigh* yes. For god's sake, I'm a freaking Christian.
Religious-nut: DON'T USE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN!
Me: *Facepalm*
Friend: Hey, Rosalie. What's u-
Religious-nut: DON'T TALK TO HER! SHE'S NOT CHRISTIAN!
Sorry for the long example. I've actually had this conversation with many people before. God, it annoys me.
3. People that will ignore/deny facts even when anda shove them in their face.
4. Republicans.
Example:
Me: What do anda mean, the Arizona law's not racist?
Republican: It's not! All it says is that if an illegal immigrant does something wrong, they have to give their ID to make sure they deserve to be in this country!
Me: Okay, first of all, not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants. What anda were probably trying to say was "If MEXICANS do something wrong..." anda berkata illegal immigrants.
Republican: I-
Me: Secondly, that's not even what the Arizona law is. The Arizona law says that a police officer can randomly stop a Mexican person on the jalan and ask them for their papers, and if they don't have them, even if they're legal and were born in this country, they can be arrested.
Republican: So? Everyone has to do that! They can just tunjuk their drivers licence atau something!
Me: That's different than your birth certificate and immigration papers. Also, it's completely racist that police can stop someone on the jalan and FORCE them to tunjuk papers. If they tried to do that to a white person, they'd be sued for assault.
Republican: Yeah, but lots of people are sneaking in from MEXICO. It makes sense.
Me: No it doesn't! It's completely racist! You're Jewish, what if someone made it a law that Jewish people had to have their proof of citizenship papers on them at all times?
Republican: Don't be stupid. Mexicans are illegal immigrants, not Jews.
Me: *Facepalm* First of all, that's not even true. saat of all-
Republican: Besides, people couldn't do that to Jewish people. That would be completely racist.
Me: ...
lebih than half of my school consists of Mexican kids, so I decide to do something kind of mean, but a this point he deserved it.
Me: WOW ERIC, anda BELIEVE THE ARIZONA LAW IS RIGHT AND THAT MEXICANS DESERVE IT?
Of course the big crowd of kids that was all around us heard me and immediately started yelling at Eric. He just sits there with a smug look on his face until they leave.
Me: Now do anda see? Not all Mexican people are illegal immigrants. You're a white Republican. As long as anda get your 'white power' and no one inconveniences you, anda don't care how many lives anda ruin.
Republican: Oh please. White people work really hard to stay in this country HONESTLY. all Mexicans do is sit around being lazy feeding off of white taxpayers dollars.
Me: WHAT????? ARE anda FUCKING SERIOUS?
Republican: Yeah.
Me: I- after all those Mexican students told anda what a douche anda were and how racist the Arizona law is, anda still think it's reasonable?
Republican: Duh. They probably don't watch the news, anyway. They probably don't even know what it is.
Me: I- I don't even know how to Debat with you.
And yes. Sadly, that was a real conversation I've had, too. No exaggerations.
4. Oh yes, it keeps going. LIARS. People who take credit for your ideas and get all the credit. I’m one of the smartest kids in my school, but people assume that I’m not. It’s very strange, but when I’m in a group, the group might be doing something wrong, atau unnecessarily complicated, and I suggest that we do something else, and no one even reacts to what I just said. They just act like I’m not even there. Then I suggest it again, and they say, “No, this is easier. Your idea doesn’t make sense.” And continue doing it the wrong way. Of course, that idea ends up failing, and they have to try something else. Well, they end up trying EVERY LAST THING THEY COULD POSSIBLY TRY BESIDES MY IDEA (all the while I’m repeatedly suggesting my idea and they continue to snap at me), until finally someone else suggests my idea, and then they attempt it. And it almost always works. But do they give me credit for it? Noooo. They give the other person who suggested it the saat time credit for it.
Sorry about this, but, example:
Kelly: *trying to get all of the soap out of the beaker and into the graduated cylinder.*
Me: Um, this is a middle school science experiment trying to teach us how to use a graduated cylinder. I don’t think it needs to be perfect.
Kelly: But if we get it wrong we’re going to fail!
Me: Okay… but-
Ravin: Yeah, Rosalie. STFU.
Me: Whatevs, spazz. *under my breath* idiots.
Arlene: Okay Kelly, it’s fine now.
Kelly: Okay.
Me: WHAT?
Kelly: Now let’s make sure it sinks to the bottom.
Me: Why? If we’re setting it on a scale and weighing it, it won’t matter as long as it’s in the cylinder.
Kelly: No, it has to be on the bottom to weigh the beaker down.
Me: …………………… Okay, Ms. Teacher!
Teacher: Yes? Do anda need help?
Me: Kelly, explain.
Kelly explains.
Teacher: ……………… um, it’s fine, Kelly. anda can just weigh it down. It’s just a small chemistry lab. It doesn’t need to be exact, either.
Me: HA!
Ravin: anda could have told us!
Me: Ravin, I swear to god…
5. (Last one!) My school.
If anda haven’t noticed sejak now, I hate my school and most of the people in it, kind of. My school is ALL about team building, and family, and loving each other. At the beginning of the year, we were introduced to this system called the Matrix system, where anda get ‘golden tickets’ if you’re good and ‘missteps if you’re bad. We had four two-hour assemblies that went over the rules on a sheet of paper called the Matrix. Then, anda got introduced to teachers on the other ‘team’ (our grade’s divided up into two teams. The teachers on your team are the ones that teach your core classes.) and THEY went over the rules of the Matrix. Then anda rotated with your Homeroom and met the teachers on your own team and they went over the rules with you, AGAIN. Then, finally, classes start and anda go over the rules for the fifteenth time with EVERY TEACHER. AGAIN. Each time they give anda a new rule sheet, of course. I recycled all of them. I think the most memorable time for me then was my crazy Homeroom teacher saying, “Now everyone take out your Matrix copy so we can go over it… Rosalie, why don’t anda have your Matrix out?” and I said, “Because I recycled them.” And she said, “What? anda should never lose the Matrix! It’s your life now!” And I looked her straight in the eye and said, “I must have a pretty boring life, then.”
Anyway, sorry for the long article. I just have to rant sometimes.
