I got the idea for this thread, I don't know where, but I thought it could be one of those fun long threads. Everyone please post no more than ten. Try to keep each one the last part of the sentence to the title of this thread. No long stories please. I also made a thread "I Love It When..." that will follow the same idea.
Here's an example post (that is my own "I Hate It When..."):
...the battery flies out the back of your robot because you forgot to put in the retaining hardware.
Post away!

... I take one of those long steel blades with the serration on one side (a hacksaw blade) - yeah, a hacksaw blade! ... and I stick it in in my shoe becuase I have that itchy, irritating, puss-emitting, rashy stuff (athlete's foot) - yeah, athlete's foot! ... and the hacksaw blade starts to tear into my foot and accidentally cuts one of those things that carries blood (a vein) - yeah, a vein! ... and blood starts gushing out of my shoe and causes me to slip while standing on one of those moving staircase things they have at malls (an escalator) - yeah, an escalator! - so that I fall down and get my shirt caught in the part of the escalator when the stairs end and you gotta step off... but I can't because my shirt is stuck and I have this hacksaw blade in my foot... and people are walking over me, 'cause there is a sale at the Gap.
I just hate it when that happens (me too!).
For you younger folk... this was an ongoing skit that was on Saturday Night Live. The two guys in the skit were Billy Crystal and Joe Piscipo... it was fairly funny stuff.
OK... back to my lunch break.

.. things dont go the way they should and the people involved just whine and complain instead of adjusting, coming up with a different plan, and moving on
... when team members dont show up for mandatory meetings and when you ask them where they were they say they didnt hear the announcement even though it was running for 4 days in a row...
/end rant/
...someone else knocks over MOEblack (a big container with all of our little itty bitty nuts and bolts and such in it that weighed a thousand pounds) and you, like an idiot, volenteer to clean it all up...then spend two/three days doing it because you suddenly reliezed that you have NO IDEA what the difference between the bolts are other then they're different colors.
...you go to the supermarket to buy canned food products and some kids from some darn robotics team has cleaned the sheleves in order to win a canned food drive contest *snicker*
...your best friend has locked herself in a bathroom and you have to called underneath the adjoining bathroom stall to get to her because she wont open the door and then you relieze that you've crawled in the wrong direction (oops).
...One year you are the only person on your team named Erin and the next year there are five, including yourself! (two girls, three boys). That is confusing as anything when someone is trying to get another Erin and all five answer.
...Jake has his camera and happens to film me doing something. (Jake is this kid on our team who would die if we ever seperated him from his camera.)
(Last one...promise)
...your school tells you that you may not wear your bright Lime Green Socks to school anymore because they do not meet with the uniform regulation. I mean...for crying out loud...they're socks!

You have a very realistic dream that your alarm didn't go off so you get up and wake up everyone in the house and then realize it's only 5 a.m. not 7!
MissInfo, Ouch! That must have been horrible.
Try doing it at 3am though!

... when you meet the man of your dreams by total chance/ coincidence and he's so perfect for you... and it turns out that he likes you too... but then you find out that in a few weeks he's leaving to go to college in arizona, so no matter how desperately you want to, you can't get into a relationship with him, becuase you don't want to ruin any chance of friendship with a long distance relationship, and neither does he. :(
... you find out that there is a very important event on the same weekend as a FIRST regional and you have to decide which one to go to.

...you are half asleep, on your way to work on Sunday morning at 7:30 AM for the full store meeting and some idiot in a Ford Mustang pulls up to a 4 way stop in front of you, and just sits there with no other cars around. She then puts on lipstick and answers her cell phone, while your car is sitting behind this person.
Yes, this really did happen. One of the few times lately I've had to stick my head out the window and scream at a driver :D

I hate it when I hear advertisments for the fundraising of pop warner cheerleading and football and I KNOW people will give them money
And I also know that nobody giving them money would even consider thinking of giving the robotics team money if the team asked.
Stupid Napa people.

I do something really dumb at work, like getting my hair tangled in my phone cord (twice now) or yesterday's episode where I didn't notice my skirt was stuck in my chair wheel and I stood up (as I pushed my chair back hard) to greet someone and my skirt went to the floor. Luckily, the skirt is slightly translucent, so I had a slip on. Sigh.

The slacking off part is lots of fun thou. Winning and going to Huston would have been more fun thou... a lot more fun than seeing your robot move for the first time in the first event.

your counselor talked you into taking a class before the year started and reassured you by saying "you can always switch out of it" and when you try to switch out of it because you realize you can't pass it and your #9 class rank is going to fall to about number 20 or so, they don't let you!! so when you REALLY do bad in it they don't even let you take the class for no grade (i.e. get the class audited) so you're forced to watch your GPA fall by the wayside during the last semester before it gets locked your senior year.
