I Hate It When...

[sanddrag]

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!

.....you get to a competition and you realize you forgot something or someone

....you get to competition and you realize that the someone/something you forgot was your robot.

...when I fall off my lawn mower while racing.

...my alarm clock goes off.

Chemistry. That's it, just that. It's the only class that I have gotten an 'F' grade in.

Nitrate, nitrite my rear.

... 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!

... I post in the word association thread, and find that someone beat me to it, and I have to go back and edit my post, and think up an new word to post.

...someone posts about being upset about being beaten in the word game and you relieze that they're talking about you. (oops)

[David Kelly]
