May I just say (^) title for this is an epic quote from the Simpsons, but kinda sums up what I want to say.
I know this really annoying 6th former who believes that she is the smartest person in the world and her opinion is ALWAYS correct. I was talking about global warming or something, and she just pops up from nowhere and said (in a really full-of-yourself voice) "Well, when you get to my standard of education, you understand that we are actually coming out of an Ice-Age and global warming is a wrong scientific theory created by the government blah blah blah..." I mean, how annoying can you get? We didn't even invite her into our convosation, it's like she pops up from behind a book shelf or something just to annoy me.
Also, she likes to be really grown-up the whole time. I threw a biscuit at someone and she asked me to calm down. I yawned once when someone was talking and she told me I was impolite and should grow up. :@ I was tired.
Also, I work in this sort of organic shop and was drinking this can of drink and this guy comes in and said "I hope that coca-cola is organic" It was a can of organic cranberry juice. I showed him the label and he was all "hmmm...well...good." and just left. I'm sorry, but what?!? I would understand if it was a joke, but it wasent. Some people!
It's like it's their personal mission to annoy me. Fair enough if I'm wrong, but you could at least be polite about it.
Well, this blog is kinda like my room 101, so umm...I will post when something annoys me I guess, until then...

Southern Vectis
You may be aware of this bus company if you live on the Isle Of Wight. It is quite possibly the worst bus company in the whole of the UK. Ridiculous prices, buses that simply don't turn up, unclean...the list goes on. But recently, they have hit the last straw.
A service is offered called "The Student Rider". It means that students can get on buses and trains for £1.20 to anywhere on the Island. The price was originally 50p, was raised to £1 and recently £1.20. However, they have now decided that in September, when we all go back to school, that will be the end of the Student Rider and we could end up paying prices such as £2.50, £3 or MORE to travel about a maximum of 12 miles. It's ridiculous! We can't afford to pay that much money just to go to some decent shops, or see a film! I would spend all my money on just getting there.
Then, they have the cheek to say that they are "green buses". By putting little thought bubbles with "have a shower instead of a bath" and painting their buses green, they think that gives them the right to be called environmentally friendly. By cancelling the student rider they will be putting more cars on the road because parents will have to taxi around their children and be late for work because children who live within 3 miles of the school will have to pay something ridiculous like £6 a day to get to and from school.
Also, people over the age of 60 get on for free. Surely that is not fair, when they at least get a pension so they COULD pay the fares. Most people my age are too busy worrying about GCSE's, or too much homework to even begin to think about getting a job so either they stay in, or their parents have to fork out the over-charged fair just so they can have a break and see some mates.
If Southern Vectis actually THOUGHT about this, they would realise that now they have raised the prices, LESS people will actually get the bus and they will make LESS money. They say that they will now try and make school buses to and from better. We don't give a damn, they are good enough as they are, and unless they are going to get me a personal limo to and from school by charging poor un-suspecting tourists £2.50 to go 3 stops (true story, saw this happen yesterday) then I would prefer a cheap, affordable way of getting to Ryde or Newport on the weekends.
So Southern Vectis, ignore the petitions, ignore how much ruder, louder and annoying I bet some people will get now they have to pay your ridiculous fares and I cannot wait for the moment you realise your mistake and GIVE US BACK OUR STUDENT RIDERS.
Until then, I will be the child walking 12 miles to go to see a film. Try not to run me over.
