Just preparing you for life your future employer may really be anal about being on time.

Fair enough.

I always made it a strong point to get to work on time at my co-op (worked full-time from January - mid August) even though I knew my boss usually came in a few minutes late.

I try to be a punctual person, but it sucks when it's better to not go at all than show up late.

New vent:

People who call you up offering a service to help sell your car if you send $500. First of all, that sounds fishy to begin with. However, when you call me back and then chose your words poorly, coming across as if you want to tell me how to be successful in life, I REALLY DON'T APPRECIATE IT!!!!! YOU obviously are SOOOO successful, since you're clearly sitting in a room with who knows how many other people making calls just like this one (I can hear them in the background) offering some lame service to help screw people over that couldn't get financing elsewhere, according to what you've said, by giving them financing for MY car.

Professors that teach college students like children. If there is a chance I will be late to one of my classes, I might as well not go and hope he doesn't notice my absence, because he will ask my name if I come in late to "deduct points".
can you tell him a false name?

No, I pulled the teachers pet move of talking with him after the first class... upon which he asked my name, presumably to give me "positive points".

Welcome to my world.

What pisses me off even more is the girls that you ask, and they ignore you completely thinking they are doing you a favor.
