Smidget Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 The UCAS website. It only went and deleted all of my GCSE qualifications that I had already put onto my application, and I cannot for the life of me find my certificates to redo them. I know all of my grades for each of my GCSEs, however, I don't know what examination board goes with what GCSE. It's just annoying how I added my GCSEs to my application months ago so I wouldn't be in this position, only for UCAS to screw me over like that. Luckily that's the only thing I need to add to my application now, but that doesn't make this whole thing any less annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just got back from Christingle, it's mentioned more in my post in the Christmas topic. Me and others put the candles on the top of the oranges together to make one big flame and an elderly women behind me asked why I lacked such respect. I replied: ''The candle represents Jesus' love to us all and his everlasting presence on Earth. By putting the flames together, wouldn't the three of us just be promoting Jesus' omni benevolence and reinforcing everything the Vicar just said?'' The VIcar had just mentioned something along the lines of: ''One flame on its own does nothing, but when they're all together, they can make a big difference''The Lady just turned back around and ignored me. It annoys me that she felt the need to have ago at me, and even though me and my mates were acting very stupid and wasn't really considering the potential consequences of our actions, what we were doing was in a sense exactly what the Vicar had just preached us about.

Sheepie Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Double post anarchy. Bringing this over from the Christmas topic, don't want to spoil everyone else's fun! Love the time of year, hate actual Christmas Day. There was seriously no need for that. BAH HUMBUG >__>I enjoy how you've quoted the only part of my post that is partially negative. Let's just disregard the rest of my post that wished everyone a happy, safe and enjoyable Christmas.This has touched a big nerve because quite honestly, I'm at my loneliest at this time of year. A lot of people spend it with their family, friends, loved ones and for them it is a very special time of year. There are people, however, who could not imagine anything more lonely than to spend it with their family. It brings up awful memories for me, of family that are still here but haven't seen in 7 years, family that have died, friends who are far away and it makes me reflect about my life in a negative way.However, I do not for one minute try and bring everyone else down with me; I "do" Christmas for everyone else who love it and clearly brings a lot of joy. It takes so much energy to be selfless and to try and keep the magic up for my brother and sister and to just generally be pleasant about it all.

JackR Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 On my journey to school every morning, I make a detour to my friends house. He is usually still getting ready so I have some time to wait around. In total there are 3 of us, and it is usually more convenient for my friend who lives in the house, and his family members who are rushing around upstairs for my other mate and I to sit downstairs on the computer. This morning, I was checking my Facebook on my friends Mac and I accidentally left it logged in. He thought it would be funny to comment on a lot of pictures. Browse through my private messaging and not only use symbols to convey the shape of the male genitalia, but to look through my more private conversations. I know this because I always leave the last message from a person untouched so the block is highlighted blue (quite hard to explain, but for those who know what I'm going on about it's the blue thing you get when a message is unread) and all of the conversations had been read, because the blue box was not present on any of them. I don't see why my friend thought it would be okay to sift through my Facebook and intercept my private life. Even though there was nothing of much interest on my Facebook he could have found something very personal to me or anybody else, which would have been a problem if anybody else found it. It aggravates me that a close friend of mine, has little enough respect for me and himself to do something like that and even after confronting him, he commented on spelling or grammar related mistakes I had made in the messages I wrote. :angry:EDIT: Save me double posting, if 'Kik' is as bad as 'Tiny Chat' and carries on being used as much as it is then I will lose the will to live...(I can't judge for every where obviously but it is being used a lot where I live at least.)

JackR Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've been fraped a lot worse before. Lets use sexual messages to my Granddad and uploading a lot of pictures of Gay Porn as some examples ;)Since the start of this year, I have started to change my password regularly to avoid this issue and it seems I will have to do so again pretty sharpish if earlier is anything to go by... I really don't care about how badly I get fraped, what I was annoyed about is how my friend was nosy enough to go through my messages and interfere with my profile by commenting on peoples photos etc. It just gives me the impression that my friend is shallow, lacks respect and is nosy, tbh. He's been known to get a bit jealous over certain things before and use sh*t stirring and other things to manipulate certain people. The fact that he has browsed my private information and would most probably be willing to do that again really annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackR Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 but you LEFT IT LOGGED IN.Yeah, but if he saved the password or 'kept it logged in' as it's called now, then wouldn't he be able to use it at will? I find making sure the account is logged out, then changing the password to prevent it being entered again without my consent a far more effective way of keeping my account safe than leaving the password as it is and risking him being able to get back onto my account without meknowing...

Laelda_95 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Really,really pedantic people. I like to have a moan, admittedly I do it alot more than most. But people who moan about every, trivial and non-important detail just irritate me no end. Yes, it's fine to take an interest into the details of something, but to moan about things no one else really cares about is maddening (for me anyway.)Also, racist people. Once again, I have found myself in the situation of having friends that like to comment and make fun of my boyfriends ethnicity (Vietnamese). These said people like to comment numerous times about the Vietnamese war and ask if he has "slit eyes" and if he eats chinese food. It is all they seem to go on about. The group must really just have something against me, as one other girl in the group has an asian boyfriend, yet she doesn't find herself at the butt of all their jokes. It seems to only be me. I'm not sure why, but I don't like it. It's not like I have any other choice with my social groups. I either have the current racist group, or the chavs, of which I'm only friends with 2 of them. The popular group would never accept me because I don't pretend to like others for my own personal gain. I really am quite sick to death of people. People in general to be frank. Most people I counted as my friends seem to hate me and not be nice to others, which makes me question, what exactly have I done wrong to make them treat me in such a way?This brings me onto my next miniature rant: People who dislike/hate me for no reason. I can appreciate, that to some, I may be hard to get along with. Granted, this is true as I am not the most easy-going of people. But I am never downright horrible to people for no reason. I try to give people a chance and not judge them before I get to know them a little better, but usually people decide they don't like me before they've even given me a chance. I know alot of the time it's because my bluntness is confused with rudeness, but I can't help being the way I am, and I don't see why I should change this just to appeal to people, as when they get to know me, they'll realise what I am actually like. Being upfront is the best way in my opinion. I do also appreciate that because I can be quite a quiet person until I have something to say, that I am construed as stuck up. This simply isn't true either. Sometimes I have trouble putting across a point in a way that others understand, and so I tend to not make alot of sense to others. This isn't my fault and people are too quick to shoot me down without giving me the chance to explain.So yeah, In conclusion I don't understand why people hate me without giving me the chance I feel I deserve, and that if people got to know me, they'd realise I'm not some kind of bitch like they think I am. I'm starting to give up trying to be nice, as it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.

Valentez Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I was actually feeling good about today at work after all the rushing around and general panic of the last two days.I then get to my car and find out that my wing, bumper and light unit have been hit by another car. Suprise suprise, nobody has come forward yet to admit whats happened. This damage has clearly been caused by a local resident moving their own car out of the space in front along said stretch of road. I will be checking every car that parks along that road and I've put my own car on the drive in the hope that whoever has caused this will see my house and come forward.I'm not looking to pick a fight with anyone, I'm just looking for some honesty and someone to foot the bill. As it stands this could easily cost me over a hundred quid, like most people I simply don't have money to burn and on top of that I have a car that can't be driven at night. Do people not realise the knock-on effect these actions cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 God, that must be infuriating. Especially as a car plays a large part in a lot of peoples lives and the fault of a careless driver could potentially be a huge disruption for you. I remember my mum picking me up from school when I was in Year 3 or 4 and we walked down the road to get to the car. It became apparent to us that something bad had happened, because the back or our car was in a crumpled mess after a removal truck had backed into it. The boot was extremely dented and the car was certainly not safe to drive, but at least the truck driver waited and offered to help us transport the car home and pay the repairs (the car was written off and covered by insurance) so the truck driver had nothing to pay really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well today has been an absolute **** day.Went to the assessment centre at Sea Life, I put my heart and soul into it and thought I did so well. Out of the thirteen of us, only three went through to interviews! When we were kicked out (via the shop too, great) we all said how shocked we were at some of the others who we felt did brilliantly and deserved at least an interview.Then when we went to Madame Tussauds to drown our sorrows, for the taxi ride obvs...the audio in the taxi didn't work, so we got a second go but it didn't work AGAIN! Ok so this was actually laughable but thought I'd add it anyway :PMy shoes I was wearing were pretty uncomfortable, especially the left as my left foot is smaller than my right. I had shoved a load of tissue at the front so my feet didn't rub and gve me a blister but it soon failed, so I now have a painful blister on the back of my ankle, and I have work tomorrow. Great.I am stumbling around Clapham Junction waiting for my train in agony and people on benches stare at the weird way I am walking and struggling to even stand up, but not one of them offers me a seat. This country is full of incredibly selfish, disrespectful people.Then I get home, feel ok, have a nap and feel a bit worse, so I have a few drinks, nothing silly as I am working tomorrow, and join chat, and you guys cheer me up. I think to myself "At least I still have my cattery job, I am still privelaged to be a moderator here, and I have Ben ".Bu then some hours later, as I am sure you will have noticed, I am removed as a Moderator. I'm gonna be mature and not gonna go into it. There is a part of me which wants to prove myself in the hope of being re-modded. Becuase I don't deserve this, and I have had a lot of positive feedback regarding my role as Moderator.Yesterday was such a good day (it was my mum's birthday, and my cousin bought us round a load of shopping and my grandad gave her £1000 to fix her car and go towards the huge gas bill we are struggling to pay off!), but today it feels like so many things that are important to me are slipping away...

I'm starting to give up trying to be nice, as it doesn't seem to get me anywhere.Sod them Lauren, just be yourself. The people who don't accept you for who you are are not worth the pain and the trouble.I really hate how, after unintentionally upsetting a good friend recently (and being deleted as their FB friend), I apologise numerous times but receive no acknowledgement. If they don't wish to be friends anymore then I guess there is nothing more I can do, but it's going to be very awkward in the future when we're in the same places at the same times. I have been mature about the situation and admitted I did wrong, and am willing to move on. Why can't they? As I said, if they don't then things are going to be very awkward! Life is too short to be licking the same wound...I hate it when people get power hungry and make up rules as they please.I wish I could express an opinion without someone turning against me.I also hate how people seem to be turning against me more and more recently, when nothing about me has changed as far as I'm concerned.I know I am not the easiest person to understand, I'm not stupid, I know the sort of negative things people think about me. Fortunately, there are a few friends that are mature enough to understand, but also point out when I have annoyed them, but in a polite, easy to understand manner, but not bluntly. There are those that don't care what I'm like and don't think I am any different, but appreciate if I struggle with something, and don't claim I'm using things as an excuse. These are the people that keep me going when everyone else has given up. If only everyone could be like this!So yeah, sometimes I don't know why I bother. It seems that no matter what I do, someone will be moaning, someone will be upset, etc etc. I don't know what else to do This is who I am, and that's not going to change!"Be who you are and say what you feel; for those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind."Wise words there from Dr Seuss!

Will Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I feel the same way you do Mer. I generally think some people can be intolerant and ignorant of anyone who is different to them and anyone who doesn't conform to what they want and how they want someone to be, they treat like crap, which hurts even more, especially when that person has done nothing wrong to deserve that kind of treatment.I've had problems with certain people in the past and I realise that those people are weak, insecure and narrow-minded because they refuse to accept anyone outside of their comfort zone and to instead embrace other people's differences, which is what makes us beautiful and makes us stand out for all the right reasons.I've been working at Harrods since October '11 and I've had no problems with anyone working there ever and I work all day 4-5 days a week with them. Maybe the reason is, that as you get older, people become more accepting and mature.It seems that these people you and I have dealt with, are probably immature and afraid because as humans, we fear the unknown and we attack what we are scared or unfamilar with. And if more people were aware or were understanding, patient and tolerant, then maybe these life woud be better.The funniest thing is that those who attack or penalise us for being marginally different have their own differences and problems but yet, they don't get told off when they make mistakes, which is unfair and unjust.But...in the end, everyone gets what's coming to them.
