I feel old whenever I think of the last decade as being the 90's.

When on ratemyprofessor.com and all the professors for a required course are not listed. I hate going in blind because it usually doesn't end up too well.

Whatever the newest iOS or whatever the hell it's called for iPod Touches.

I'm big on having all my songs organized so it's not a pain scrolling through them and whatnot. On my old iPod (which had the older menus) when I had it hooked up to my computer, I could update song and artist names, album artwork, and all of that stuff and it would take effect on my iPod immediately. I could update all of that on iTunes, grab my iPod, and see that it had updated. However with the newest version, I'll update an album's album artwork and it'll be updated in my iTunes, but when I look at my iPod, it hasn't changed even though it said it synced and everything. It drives me ****ing nuts.

Like right now for example, I just spent a good 5 minutes trying to update 2 artist names, because on my iPod it's doing that stupid thing where the name is spelled correctly in every song but it'll separate that one artist into two sections. So frustrating....

When you have a dull knife and you...gently place it down on a glass cutting board and the cutting board shatters. It was a fun morning this morning.

But the last decade was the 2000's

I occasioanlly read that site for entertainment purproses from reading some of the stuff people write about professors at my college, but never took most of them seriously. Sure, some people right good reviews, but you also get a lot of people who just go in and right stupid stuff about professors just because they didn't get a good grade or whatever. I've seen comments about some of my favorite professors that are just totally outlandish and untrue. When I was in college, someone even wrote and editorial review about the site in our school paper and gave some examples of some of the stupid stuff people wrote about some of the protessors.

Exactly. I had a very tough World Lit professor this past semester and I had read about him on that site. There were people saying, "He's not fair. You can get the right answer for a question, but he'll count it wrong if he doesn't like it."

That was totally untrue. I can't believe how this student didn't get the answers correct. THEY WERE RIGHT THERE IN THE TEXT! He was perfectly fine with students copying the answers out of the book word for word. He was so fine with it, he let us use our Lit books during the tests, even our final.

Related: People who never own their mistakes. It's always an elaborate story about how the universe dared to align against them to cause this uncharateristic mistake. No, you ****ed up. We all **** up from time to time. Admit it, own it, learn from it, move on. I have a coworker like this - so annoying.

So, you pretty much hate everybody.

I'm right there with you. My consolation is praying for a zombie apocalypse as that is the closest I could get to legally killing someone with no moral or legal repercussions.

I guess everyone goes into CYA mode at some point, but I'm talking about the ones who always blame something other than themselves, even for trivial things that no one really cares about.

My favorite is blaming the computer system. As if a computer system that is proven to work is going to do anything other than what your input tells it to do.

Yeah. I'm glad I have very little interaction with clients, because I would be strangling some of them. I have no idea how my family has been in retail all their lives and not committed murder.

When in movies or TV shows featuring HS playoffs every single game is at the main school's gym.
