So, I'm sitting in the school senior lounge (yep, we get a lounge at our school), and I'm surfing the net on my iPAQ since there was nothing else to do, and I happen to overhear a complaint one of my fellow students (whose name will be withheld) shouted about a problem he had with a teacher. He said that he came into class late because he was feeling sick, and doesn't understand why his teacher gave him such a hard time about showing up late.
I'll tell you why: because that's a cock and bull story! If you're feeling sick, you stay home; you don't skip part of the class, suddenly decide you're feeling better, and then come to school. Either you're feeling ill and should stay home and heal, or you weren't sick enough to cut class to begin with!
What kind of moron would go somewhere where they have to work when they have a way out of it? Our school doesn't even force you to make up assignments, and they give you extra time if you're absent. You have to leave your brain at home to actually want to come to school.
My favorite part is how he complained, probably in hopes of winning pity, that he's "never cut class in his life." Big friggin' whup; people aren't supposed to cut class! There's half a million other people who haven't ever cut class, many of them planning to cut class for the first time tommorow. Basically, that excuse means nothing, except that the person using it is an idiot. Either cut the whole class, or put up with the illness! Cutting will give you relax time, while putting up with it will make you look like a real man (who doesn't take any guff from viruses). Never choose to work, and look like a total wuss who is out on the slightest friggin' illness. And finnaly, stop giving any such choices you make so much publicity (by yelling them). But, If you're going to anyway, at least complain quietly enough that it doesn't disturb my web surfing; a guy can't even waste time in peace anymore.
