Firstly I'd like to start off this rant with a bit of a foreword, a bit of a disclaimer, if you will.

I recently got a new job at an awesome place and I made it my personal goal to work so extremely fucking hard and be the best and awesome at my job that I could possibly be - and then some. So I am going in every day, trying to do my absolute best. I'm not saying this for any other reason than to push my point. And my point is: when you're working this hard and trying your best possible, and then you pay for the services of something EVEN if it's small, and you don't get that same type of service that you go out of your way to provide to others... you may get just a LITTLE bit annoyed by it. Right? Rrrright.

You could be a bigger person than I and shrug it off. Perhaps lay it down to someone ELSE having a bad day. Perhaps just go home and not think about it ever again. I'm unfortunately, not a bigger person, and I will curse and get angry and frustrated until I am exhausted enough to not care. Keeping this is mind, what in mind? I hear you ask. Keeping it in mind that I am immature, completely



Dear Subway employees (aged 15 - 18),

I know what it is to have a shitty job. I have had several shitty jobs, each more shitty-er than the next. However, with these shitty jobs came responsibility with other peoples money however vast or small, and peoples confidential and private information. I don't claim to be a saint, I don't claim that I am all-knowing and supremely intelligent... but what I do feel I can claim, and proudly at that, is that I have what you don't seem to or will ever possess: common fucking* sense.

I know that you could care two steaming shits what your customers think, and what you're meant to do, because you're making sandwiches for an income. And a petty income at that. I know you're standing behind that counter thinking about fucking your boyfriend, or girlfriend, or dog, or whatever it is you kids think about these days with your skateboarding and your hula hoops. I know you're not thinking 'I really care about what that girl is going to have on her sandwich' - and let's be honest here... you're probably not thinking that much at all considering your slack-jawed, blank expression. But here's the kicker: I care. And I am paying for YOUR service with MY money. Money that I earned all by myself for serving OTHERS. OTHERS like your mother, your girlfriend, your dog... who the fuck ever - the point is people like you and me.

Here's some tips I've put together that I think you'll benefit from since you clearly don't seem to grasp the idea of customer service:

- instead of making eye contact with a customer in line and then looking away without moving or saying ANYthing... you could try a firm "just one moment" or perhaps something a little easier considering these are baby steps... "just a sec" or perhaps even EASIER: "one moment" and maybe even delivered with a smile. This allows the customer to know you're not fucking ignorant, and will get to their request in a moment. It also shows you're not braindead, which is a plus.

- when you ask a customer what they want to order, actually listen to their answer. That way you'll know what they want to order and won't have to ask again several times. This also ensures a smooth sandwich-to-customers-mouth-transaction.

- when a customer says "pickle" they actually mean pickle and not carrot. I know this might be a bit of an information overload but you'll get there.

- when approached by two customers who appear to be together, when asking if they'd like to pay together or seperately, simply listen to their answer so as you don't process the payment before actually listening to their answer.

- when customers ask for a drink, kindly supply them with a paper cup. This way they won't try to drink from their cupped hands out of the machine. This also proves to be a cleaner alternative and less mess to clean up.

- don't wear an insane amount of make-up and or accessories. Contrary to belief, customers DON'T want a shitty cheap Diva necklace pendant in their sandwich, nor do they want congealed foundation powder lightly speckled across their cheese.

- sun visors are implemented so that customers don't have to peel out long bits of badly dyed hair out of their orders. Alternatively, shave your head.

- try to blend a certain amount of hand and eye coordination with your service. Customers actually like their sauces on their sandwich, rather than poured down the side of the packaging.

- if it is 2 am in the morning, stop flirting with the drunken guy who has already gotten his sub, and serve the fucking poor drunken girl who is most likely to pass out any second if she doesn't get her FUCKING SUBWAY YOU BLOODY TART.

All of these may or may not have occured to me personally. *cough*theyallhave*cough*.


So please, kindly take my advice and wake the fuck up. If I can suppress enough anger and frustration when explaining to an elderly man what the internet IS... then you can fucking put shit on my sandwich properly and give it to me - with a smile no fucking less.

Love Sophie-louise
Accounts Receivable Officer

If I have to LOOK at the next slack jawed, dopey ass kid with an idiotic blank expression on their stupid face... I'm going to kick them in the chest.


*According to a latest poll from heavy college research, swearing has been found to alleviate most body tensions causing extreme euphoric tendencies... and if you've read the first half of this sentence believing it, than you're a fucking moron. And if you've read up till this part and still believe it there's no fucking hope for you, because you're a moron, you moron. And if you think I give a damn that I swear a lot and start off sentences with 'and' then you're even more fucking clueless than I thought. And ignorant.

I tried, I really tried... but christmas sucks.

My sister and I arranged to get each other presents under a certain price range a few weeks ago... we even went shopping to go have a look for what we'd like. My sister told me she wanted 'something shiny'. Seriously, who tells someone they want something shiny and then doesn't elaborate. But she has a lava lamp and a fibre optic (sp?) lamp and collects that shit though, so I had some idea. I told her I needed a new keyboard - but didn't want anything fancy, just a plain ol' keyboard would do. The space bar on this one is shot and it's annoying to press down so hard on it, even though I'm sort of used to it now. So I asked for that. We wandered around and we found a plain black one, just what I needed, and she got it there.


We passed Hairhouse Warehouse and I spotted some hair extensions I've had my eye on... my sister asked how much they were, 10 bucks for a lock sort of thing... she said 'oh, too expensive!' but I thought I'd probably buy them myself anyway. Besides, she'd gotten me the keyboard, I didn't ask for the hair extensions or anything, we just spotted them and I was looking at them. So anyway, I went hunting for 'something shiny' and ended up buying some fairy lights for her and robin (her fiance) to put up in their apartment and make it look all dazzly and cooool. And they happened to be JUST in the price range we arranged to stick to for each others presents. So I was stoked.

Just before we opened our presents. Robin and aimee opened their presents and (probably fake)-showed their appreciation of such a gift. I opened mine from aimee and got a - keyboard, yep. All good. But then.... she pulls out this other gift for me. Whaaat. She bought the hair extensions for me. After saying they were too expensive. And after we agree we wouldn't go over the budget. But whatever, I thought. I shall gracefully accept this gift and show how thankful I was - because I was, they're awesome - and stay positive. Then... she pulls out another gift. It's a big clear ball filled with M&Ms that she painstakingly put inside of it. Robin took it upon himself to say that it took her all night. Oh, and she got one for mitch my boyfriend, too! Great! How thoughtful and nice. Not like me who just stuck to the budget and didn't think for more than 2 seconds to get them anything else.

Next... weeks earlier my mum had asked me what I wanted for christmas. Because I'd been playing spyro the dragon on my boyfriends ps2, I decided to link her to this ebay item of the game for about 10 bucks. She sent back that she bought it and if I'd want anything else... I didn't really want anything else or need anything else (since I'd gotten what I needed; a keyboard) but I thought of something cheap that I could play with and use... a snorkel! Because sometimes my neck hurts when I swim and I need to work on my controlled breathing, so a snorkel would be awesome. So I sent back 'a cheapo snorkel'.

So today I unwrapped a snorkel - but this wasn't any ordinary snorkel. This was some mega pimped out psycho extreme snorkel. It had things on it that I didn't think a snorkel even needed... it's essentially just a tube you can breathe through in the water, right? Well nope, this one has weird gadgets on it that poke off the top for 'water backlash' the packet told me, and the mouth piece was weird and 'new age'...not like the old design of a snorkel. So I was pretty...impressed? But at the same time - my mum ALWAYS does this. And this is where I am completely misunderstood:

It wasn't that I didn't appreciate that she'd bought me a snorkel like I asked - OF COURSE I appreciate that and love her for it.... it's the fact that I am so misunderstood and essentially like a stranger to my OWN family (apart from aimee who at least on some level understands this part of me).

I LIKE CHEAP STUFF.

I LIKE SECOND HAND CHEAP STUFF.

I LIKE MAKING EXTREMELY COOL STUFF OUT OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE CONSIDER JUNK.

I LIKE USING THE ABSOLUTE BARE ESSENTIALS TO MAKE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.

My mum hasn't grasped this despite 20 odd years of me telling her, expressing it to her and showing her. I made freakin' dolls out of popsticks to play with when I was little. I loved them. She bought me expensive barbies but I played with my popsticks and cardboard houses. Then there's the fact that I buy shit-house cheapo make up stuff to make my special effects costumes and stuff. Like for the zombie walk... I bought a mask from cheap as chips for 4 dollars and cut it up, stuck it on my face with tissue and glue and managed to make it look (hopefully a little bit at least) realistic and cool. This is what I'm passionate about. I like ghetto stylin's lolz. But seriously. I'm not an over the top, flashy uber expensive high maintenance type of girl (I may look like it to "outsiders" but that just means I'm doing what I like *well* ...sorry if that sounds cocky eh)... and my mum doesn't get this - and it really upsets me because it's a LARGE part of me. So THAT'S what I am upset about right now. But to my sister, robin and my dad it looks like I've stormed off because the snorkel is crap. Siiiigh.

And I can't SAY this sort of thing to them because I can't explain it! It's so simple but I feel suffocated when I try to explain myself. I can't just go down there and unleash this huge long winded explanation of how I wish they'd just GET my personality and the way I am when they think it's over a freakin' snorkel. Yknow? It's fucked. So then I thought maybe I could write a letter, but uuugh I'm not in highschool anymore and I KNOW they'd just receive it like "wtf?"

And this whole time I feel like I'm being really selfish and awful and not gracefully accepting gifts - but it's because I feel like shit because I didn't get them as good gifts as they got me, they got me like 5 different presents and I just got them EACH a present.... and robins was tied in with aimees. He got me an ezy dvd voucher and choccies...I got him...half a pack of fairy lights :(

And when my mum was opening presents from my sister and robin and dad she was exclaiming LOUDLY "WOOOOW" and giggling and making jokes and smiling and all happy... and when she opened mine she didn't say a THING. And I had to ask her if she liked it. And she realised I'd noticed and was all "OH, YESSS" and came over and gave me this forced hug. It was horrible. I started tearing up then and there (god I'm so sensitive) but I buried the horrible feeling down quickly before anyone noticed.

So then when I went for my long anticipated swim, my snorkel was so bofangled and overdone with crap that a SNORKEL DOESN'T FREAKIN' NEED... I couldn't even slip my goggles onto it like you're supposed to so it doesn't hang down and go in the water. I wanted a snorkel. I got a weird ass crazy gadget posing as a snorkel. My mum couldn't just buy me a 4 dollar cheapo snorkel, she had to go over the top as usual and get me some extravagant thing thinking that's what I like. It sounds as though I'm so selfish and don't care but it's not about that. She doesn't get me. Like when I was asking my dad for pieces of wood to make a crappy easle to paint on, mum went out and bought me a bloody 200 hundred dollar easle. I didn't WANT that. I felt so bad!! She also didn't have a job at the time and was tight for moneys, so aaargh. I said it's too expensive and to take it back and she took it the wrong way and we had this huge fight about me being selfish and everything. I WANTED LITERALLY 3 PLANKS ON SPLINTERY WOOD, TO NAIL TOGETHER TO REST A CANVAS ON. ARGH. And now I have this fucking hideous, over the top, expensive easle sitting in my room and I haven't painted jack shit on it. I want to sell it on fucking ebay. I DON'T LIKE OVER THE TOP FLASHY SHIT. ARGH. I'd even have the same fucking phone I've had since year 9 if it wasn't for the fact it just stopped working one day. I've had 2 phones in my life. Most people my age have had at least 4 or 5. I don't care about the latest gadget or the flashiest piece of technology you can get, I REALLY don't care. My mum just has to get me the BEST BIGGEST MOST AMAZING thing... when I reeeeally don't want it - how do you TELL someone this????? She also got me an expensive Joker from the dark knight doll. I got her a shit present of body stuff from the body shop that she didn't even smile about.

I feel. So. Shit.

Christmas can get fucked.

I'm the most misunderstood person in the whole world. I don't belong anywhere. ANYwhere.

Black sheep reprezent

:(

so now I'm sitting here getting drunk waiting for mitch to come save me.

Okay so I know this will make me look bad ("studies show the people see you as some sort of ogre, sir" "I'll grind their bones to make my bread!") but I really have to get it off my chest.

On wednesday I was called at about 9 in the morning by my Adecco recruitment officer Ella to do a job at Frontier Software that day, and thursday and friday. I had previously worked at this company as a receptionist for just one day but it was easy, the people were friendly and I actually had fun. But I wasn't to be doing receptionist work, I was to be a call-bitch ie. telemarketer. But that shit's easy so I immediately got ready, jumped on a bus and was in the building by 10:30 (a fairly amazing feat considering I winged it with the two buses I had to catch and they lined up AND were on time).

After arriving I meet up with Nancy the person we report to, and she says I'll be in an office with another person making the calls. I thought it would be hard to concentrate talking on the phone with someone right next to you talking as well but it turns out everyone else was doing it (even though they had their own cubicle) so I figured, meh.

So we have to call the human resource manager from each company on these lists we had (each from NSW, Vic etc.) and ask them if they'd recieved their letter about our new payroll system called Chris and if they were interested in joining our breakfast presentation on 6th June blah blah blah. And they give us an answer (usually no) and we type it into the masters list. So there's about 900 calls left that we have to do by friday. Easy, great. Cushy job. Did I mention I was on the 16th level on the building and sitting by the window? :D Yay!

Eventually the other person I'll be working alongside comes in... Jessica. She looked about 12 years old I'm not kidding... she even had braces. Her hair was messy and pulled back in a bun but with strands hanging in her face, she was wearing a ratty denim skirt with a red jumper. :/ I was wearing an ironed, pleated skirt with tights, sensible/polished shoes, a collared shirt, my hair was pulled back neatly with no bits falling out and I basically didn't look like a kid. And later I'd ask her how old she is and she's 20. :| Anyway Nancy introduces us, hello hi blah blah eventually we're working.

Now... I know it looks as though I am taking the piss and not really doing anything from all the silly photos I take when I'm temping, and brag about how I'm on facebook all day, but I do take pride in my work and I do take it very seriously. I'm a perfectionist. I only go on the internet/take silly photos/videos when I know there is absolutely no work to do and when the person in charge has said it's fine to go on there. I like knowing that I am good at what I do, I like pleasing people, fact is I take pride in my work and I get down on myself when I think I haven't done well enough. This girl Jessica appeared to be the complete opposite. For instance (I take pride in my phone manner) this is how I would talk on the phone:

"Good morning this is Sophie from Frontier Software may I please speak to ...?"

...and this is how she would answer it:

"Good afterno-I MEAN morning...this....is Jessica from um. Frontier Software I'm calling about- to speak to um... human resource payroll person called um... ..."

:|

I thought fine, everybody has a slip up now and then the first time. But the next HUNDRED times I was thinking this girl has a problem.

And if that weren't bad enough, sometimes she'd get so embarrassed about having stuffed up every little thing in her opening line, that she'd start GIGGLING and HANG UP ON THEM. WTF? I said "why did you hang up on them??" and she'd say "I started laughing hahahahaha!!!"

okay WHAT? I know it's a free call, I know the number can't be traced back, but you DO have to call back the company you just called and there is a chance they'll remember you and it reflects badly on Frontier Software!! GEEZ!?

And this girl acted like a bloody year 10 student, hyper, giggling, messing around and talking to me more rather than doing work! Nancy was soon made aware of this when she asked us both to recount what we'd done. Now, I had gotten in at 10:30 in the morning and worked until 4:30. I made over 300 phone calls. Jessica had gotten in at 8:30 and worked until 4:30 and she'd made... 140 phone calls.

The next day Jessica was once again an annoying distraction. When you call companies you sometimes get "for finance, press 1...for IT press 2..." etc. EVERY time I'd be sitting quietly listening for my options, Jessica would talk. She assumed because I'm sitting their quietly on the phone that I was on hold...so she'd talk. I'd frown and wave my hands but she wouldn't get it WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER she was acting like a friggin ten yr old?! GOD it was frustrating. At one point I said "dude...I'm trying to listen to options the operator is giving me but you keep talking..." and she giggles at me and turns away. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

Now after figuring out I was accomplishing a whole hell of a lot more than Jessica, Nancy gave me more work and less to her. If I were in Jessicas position I would feel pretty crap, but nope, not naive little Jessica, she was grinning like mad and after Nancy left she says "yaaay I don't have much to do at all!" wtf that's because they know you're crap and can't handle a big work load. And like a friggin dumbarse she BRAGS about it? We're working and she'd say things like "yay 20 to go!" or "how many do YOU have left, I only have 10 left"

I was making 10 phone calls at the rate that she was making 2. :|

So having been given more work it would be clear to Jessica that I need to concentrate and work steadily, right? WRONG. Jessica thinks it's fun to spin around on her chair, count how many she has left, talk about it, talk about things outside the window, take her shoes off, play with her hair, spread her bag and all of its contents around the office (I'm not kidding EVERY break we had she'd spend ten minutes before packing her shit together) TELL JOKES.....TO ME....WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE...

... now all this time I've been trying to work as best as I can without this annoying chick next to me, but I eventually get really mad.

I'm on a call trying to contact someone with a "funny" name... (Azure Nuhabi or something) and this is what went down:

"Good afternoon this is Sophie from Frontier Software, may I please speak to Azure Nuhabi?"
"Certainly I'll put you through" "Thankyou"
Now why they are replying Jessica has said:
"HAHA whats his name? what was his name sophie?? sophie what was his name?"

WHAT THE HELL I'M ON THE PHONE.

I'm put on hold and I turn to jessica "Azure Nuhabi or something."

"HAHAHA WHAT A WEIRD NAME IT SOUNDS INDIAN OR SOMETHING"

"...yes."

Eventually I get through... "Hello Azure speaking"
"Hi, my name's Sophie I'm from Frontier Software...."

...now you won't actually believe this dear reader, you won't actually believe this. As well as talking over the top of me while I'm on a company phone call which is completely unacceptable, Jessica thinks it would be HILARIOUS to put ice from her subway drink ON MY NECK.

>:|

ON MY NECK.

ICE.

While I'm on a phone call to someone. Actually speaking to someone. WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL IS WRONG WITH HER.

Luckily for me I'm used to immature children messing with me/trying to get a rise out of me so I am completely professional the entire phone call, not once do I slip up, not once do I falter. I hang up and LOSE it at jessica.

"What the hell jessica, you put ICE on my neck WHILE I'M ON A CALL???"
"I was trying to get you to move hahahaha"

>:|

I am so mad at this point I think about ringing Adecco and telling them this Jessica girl is fucked in the head and should never be hired for anything ever again. But it would most likely reflect poorly on me for some reason so I might not. And this venting is helping.

As well as being crap on the phone, Jessica was late from EVERY break we had. We had a 15 minute break, I'd be back in the office after 13 minutes, she'd come back after 25 minutes and that's NOT an exaggeration. How the company put up with that I don't know. After our lunch break which is half an hour, she waltzed in after A FULL hour. How are you half an hour late and nobody notices?? I ask her how she managed to be half an hour late "I went shopping" she grins. So here's me this completely reliable, professional worker and her this sloppy moron... and everybody is fine with it.

Anyway I finish roughly 6 times the amount of work Jessica does by the end of the week and on friday we hand in our time sheets. Jessica comes bouncing back...

"yaaay they said they'd ask me back for any positions in the future! I asked for receptionist because you told me it was so much fun heehee" Sweet holy jeebus, this girl is possibly the most deluded idiot I've ever met. SHYEAH they're going to choose this inexperienced, immature girl who can't answer a phone, hangs up on people, is late back from every break, has a completely unprofessional manner and who looks like a 12 yr old with braces to man the FRONT desk. Suuure.

I had to deal with this twit as well as working hard, I deserve a friggin medal.

I had to vent this out, blah.

I wake up, work out a bit, shower, dress, dad drives me to marion shopping centre so I can catch a bus. Just as I think "oh noes I'll be late for my hair appointment if I have to wait much longer" a bus 720 rolls up. SWEET.

I hauled my Frankenstein painting in with me so I could take it to movie maniacs for sellage after. Bus runs smoothly, no hick ups, no stopping for outrageously long amounts of time, good stuff.

I get into town and walk briskly to hairhouse warehouse for my appointment and was only 8 minutes late. This is pretty amazing for winging it with buses.

Girl colours my hair the most PERFECT shade of brown. :D Usually when I ask for 'chocolate brown' from hairdressers they give me 'charcoal black' because DEY STUPIDZ. luckily this girl wasn't. I got a delicious shade of brown and started eating my hair but shortly after being stopped the hairdresser clipped in some awesome hair extensions in and they look AWESOMMME.

So I hopped, skipped and jumped delightedly to movie maniacs which is across from hairhouse warehouse. I dumped my painting there and HUZZAH it looks good up on the wall. Go check it out immediately. All of you. And possibly purchase it for many moneys.

ANYway, having such a great morning, I think nothing could get better. Nothing. But then I casually mention 'I'll have to buy that frankenstein doll one day LOLZ' to which roy says "have it now ROFLMAO!!11!' and despite my whiny declines he puts it in a bag and forces it into my hands. WOOOOOW. :D

So having a ridiculous wide grin on my face I depart from mm and head over to boost juice to grab a berry bang. There really is no bang involved whatsoever in this tasty beverage, to my disappointment. So I got ma boost and headed on over to the bus stop... as I literally walked up to the stop a bus had pulled up that went to marion shopping centre. I nearly exploded from the goodness of my day so far.

I get on the bus and hand in my 4 dollars and 10 cents and the bus driver hands me back moneys saying "it's only 2 50, OMGWTFLOLZ" and I am like "oh okay LOL" and sit down. HOORAY!

I get to marion and wander around. I buy awesome socks. Then I ring dad and see if he can pick me up from marion - he said he could in 5 minutes because he was already out...IN THE THUNDERBIRD.

So I get picked up from marion in under 5 minutes in the thunderbird and cruise home.

WHAT A FRIGGIN-FANTASTICAL day it's been :D free stuff, amazing hair-make-over, NICE bus driver, everything timed perfectly... it's like my life is good all of a sudden :D

And if this isn't enough, later on I'm getting picked up my sexified boyfriend to go to dinner for nom nom tasty foods and then we're seeing IRONMAN. SOOOO EXCITED!!11one!!24c5f6er27'

I'm going to go barf from all the goodness.

So I have a bit of athletes foot AKA tinea AKA scratchy, irritating, red soreness on my toes on my left foot. I had nothing to do and was bored so I went to the movies tonight (by myself) to see ’st trinians’ as nobody wants to see it with me. FINE. I just wanna see Lily Cole dammit, screw you guys.

So I arrive at the cinema and lo and behold, the movie I wanna see when I have a fucked up foot is showing in cinema number 9 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way at the end of the building. HOORAY. So I hastily limp my lonesome arse all the way to the end. But that’s not the issue in this blog, no. Fucking the ’allocated seat’ bullshit, I grab a seat. AS ALWAYS - I’m not exaggerating here - AS ALWAYS a gaggle of 14 - 16 yr old girls come and sit in the row in front of mine. TERRIFIC.

As if that weren’t a sign enough that I was going to resent humans by the end of my cinematic adventure, a trailer for some shit, sappy generic romantic comedy (or as I like to call them, films of boring, drivel trash for single, vapid and overweight women to eat dove chocolate to) some dick turns to his friend and says "that looks good" uuuuugh. Vomit. Anyway the movie starts and these aforementioned 16 yr old titless twats are not only sticking their stinky, bare feet on the top of the chairs in front of them, they’re talking to each other loudly across several seats and laughing like they’re in a busy resturant.

After about half an hour of that shit I finally felt that familiar boil of hatred and annoyance rise up in my chest and I spat out SHUT UP. Several of them turned and looked at me and I stared back. Needless to say they did shut up.  Huzzah! Sophie-louise one, immature wankers zero. Hey idiot "emo" "goth" "whateverthefuckyouwannadressas" girls of adelaide, NOTE to you, nobody wants to hear your or your shit-cake friends whiny, obnoxious word vomit you think is funny, or hear your high pitched ugly screeching when colin ’dreamy’ firth is on the screen. STFU.

After masturbating furiously over what I’d achieved, by doing what I’ve always dreamed of doing (telling a cunt to shut up in the movies) any sense of satisfaction and pride was lost when later in the film, ’Girl with a Pearl Earring’ the painting was brought up as a key plot element, and some dumb arse fifty-something turns to his mate and says "oh that’s that painting called ’pearl’"



I....I hate humans. I really do. And every time I go to the cinema I’m reminded by it.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ARE PEOPLE SO STUPIDDDDDDD?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!23EJKJREGHJNB J4578F6G8

TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING MOBILE PHONES. Whatever you need to be informed of in your shitty, dropkick 16 yr old life can wait an hour and bloody half.

FOOD GOES IN THE MOUTH. I KNOW, RIGHT? LOL!!11

SHUT THAT GAPING PIE HOLE IN YOUR FACE. YOU’RE NOT CLEVER OR WORTH LISTENING TO.

I’m in some sick game show and any time now the host and hidden cameras will pop out and joke’s on me. I reeeeally hope so.
