In my school division we take matyh on the internet, which you know isn't bad, I like Internet, I like math. Best of both worlds! But when the teacher signs off for the day there is no getting efficent help from him (there is always email) so as students we have been provided with textbooks, and despite how much I like interent, I still prefer earning from the book (for math anyway). But when things start saying obvously, that really bugs me. A text book should never say obvously, except maybe in a quote, or Dr. so and so felt that it was obvous... [case study] But if the line reads it os obvous that from here we should use the decomposition yatta yatta yatta.... Well how helpful is that? If it was obvious then you wouldn't have been paid to write the text book! If it was obvious then I wouldn't have to read this paragraph. If it was obvious then why are we learning it. Just bear with me if you will. Lets say that I read " All cats have ears on there head, therefor it is obvious that all dogs do as well." You know at the time I might just shrug it off, but later on when asked on a test or a question where are crickets ears? I would think ' if dogs ears on on there head, then so must a crickts. Now if anybody has studied the anotomy of a cricket they know that the ears are no where near the head. Anyway that's my vent. I love this forum!

I know what you mean. I'm studying maths as part of my University course. Anyway, our text book explains how to do one part of a problem and then will say 'because of this, then obviously this must mean...' It's very annoying, and it makes the reader feel kind of stupid if they don't know it, which is always the case for me...umm, that's why I'm doing this subject  . I have kind of learned to ignore it though. I now block out the word 'obviously' when I'm reading my text book. It makes reading it much easier and less annoying.

Ups Vs Fedex
- A vent concerning postal shipping. (17)
UPS (United Postal Service) and FedEx (not sure what that stands for) are the two major shipping
services here in the United States. On Friday, I ordered a new PocketPC, some extra flash memory,
and a flash memory-to-USB adapter from New Egg. I knew that, in order to get the package here on
time (I will be leaving for a trip early tomorrow morning and won't return until late Sunday
night), I would need to use next day shipping (since it takes awhile for the shipping info to clear
the New Egg office/warehouse). I saw about a 5 dollar difference between the UPS and F...
Customer Service... Vent About Customers
- (3)
I work in customer service, taking orders over the phone and such. I Really don't understand
why people are rude to us, I can't help but think of the old adage, "Don't bite the hand
that feeds you" to me being rude to the guy whos writing down what you order doesn't make sense.
For example (I work with pizzas) oops, it was hot sprinkles, not half sauce? oops. I bet that
burned. I can understand people complaining for a genuine reason, something wrong with the pizza
or it was late or such, but people ringing up and complaining, then talking your ear of...

OK I use the bus for transport right to get into the city, It takes so long about 40mins or more to

you don't have to use fancy perfumes to cover up the smell but at least do something to reduce
it. The next person you site next to isn't guaranteed to be smell impaired. Maybe wash them
cloths you wear every few days or so. I also hate the loud girls who sit in the bus and play their
hip-hop music, I'm only saying that because you never hear someone crank up th...

well, it's not really a vent but it's not something i need help on either. i've just

recently have been overboard. i've been trying to pinpoint where it's coming from. best
answer i can think of is that trap17 makes my emotions scramble with all sorts of emotions that are
sometimes hard to control. i take everything personal and i think i get too deep. i don't think
i'm crazy, i think it comes from loving trap17. the real world is embeded in it. happy...

Flaming Flamers
- People Who Post Bad About Other Things (9)
Ok, first off, this post is extremely hypocritical but it has to be said. What really grinds my
gears is when people go out of their way to dis and make fun of people who like certain things. For
example, someone goes to a Tv show's website just to post "This show sucks". I mean, why the
hell bother? Why not just deal with it, accept what other people like, and get on with your life.
But noooooo, these jerks have to go and try to make other people feel bad so they can maybe just
feel a little bit better about their pathetic lives. Harsh, I know, but sometimes tr...

The Vent

So we have The Vent, for people to complain. Well I think some people are complaining TOO much. I
see that there are some people that have more than three topics in there, and some of them could
probably be meshed together. I think that people should just have maybe 1 or 2 topics in there, one
of them could be off all their vents, like their family/friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/people at
work/school problems because i think those could very well be put together. And things that have to
do with something different could be in their other venting topics. But I just don't...
Outdoor Drinking Games May Face A Ban
- A local issue in my town, but my vent conserning it (2)
Just recently in my town an issue has come up that has my whole campus in a fluster. I was reading
my colleges news paper and right on the front page, first article, in big bold letters, "OUTDOOR
DRINKING GAMES MAY FACE A BAN" Ok, being a local to my town for the past 9 years and I am now also
a student, I have realized how biased this "News Paper" actually is. To begin with, the reason this
ban has been brought up because there is over 75 Beer Pong Tables outside on peoples porches (it is
currently fall and its cold so there where a lot more). However, the article mad...

Let me start off by saying i tend to follow the sound of my own beat, its not that i am like that to
be different, it is just how I am. Since elementary school I have worn mostly black, by junior high
my whole wardrobe was almost all black. People made fun of me, and it sucked. But then by 8th grade,
everyone was wearing black and listening to the music i had already been listening to, and suddenly
i wasn't 'dark' enough. But anyway back to the original point of the topic. So I will

50-100 sheets. That caused a major paper shortage in the school, teachers had to bring in their

The Vent: Another Technicality

I love The Vent. I love complaining about things. But sometimes I love using bad words. So anyway
let me get to the point of this post. The moderators claim that many young children visit this
forum, so therefore it is OUR responsibility to control our language, right? I believe this is
absurd. If a young child visits this forum, or any other vulgar site, it is no one's fault
except the parent's. The parent is the person that should monitor whether the child is exposed
to bad words, it is not our job to do so. So therefore, I think we should be able to use lang...

stand it so I went over there and asked, "Do you even know anything about him?". They replied,
"Ma'an, I don't need no dude comin' over herr' tellin' me what I think!".
