#4--When certain teachers *ahem - Smithers* say they will get your schoolwork back to you in three days - the most at a week - and, you still don't have it in nine months. Then, at the end of the school year (10 months) you only get five assignments back, and no othe rmarks even.

#6--When people turn on their windshield wipers on RIGHT after the automatic car wash dryer.

November Rain, by Guns 'n' Roses. (Many reasons...)

No One Else on Earth, by Wynonna. (It's country, so any country hater's out there wouldn't have heard it.)

Useless Talents:

#1 -- I will set the microwave to cook for 2 minutes, will go to the computer room for something, then, I will walk back to the microwave in time for it to ring as soon as I get there. It almost always happens, no matter how long I set it for. *l* Yes, I am weird, but the way i see it, if you are normal, yo are weird [bad]; but if you are weird [good] you are normal. Which makes no sense, but oh well.

#2 -- still thinking....
