WTF moments

jaycee7389

UPS and some other delivery service I never heard of just showed up at my door with 20 packages of stuff. You should have seen my face, I felt like I was on some prank show. I asked them what it all was, and they said "FISLASTNAME right?" and I was like "yeah, but I don't think we're expecting anything" and the guy goes "well there is one more box downstairs and it is really heavy." So I finally found one with a recognizable return address and it is FI's company's headquarters. IDK lol. Thanks for the warning FI.

I'm working on a group project for my night class, and I have literally had to re-write and edit almost the entire paper because it was so poorly written. This one kid volunteered to write the abstract for our 12-page paper and sent it to me. It was GODAWEFUL. WTF!? I go to a pretty good university, too. How the HELL are these people still in college? My MS Word, of course, is not working either so I can't even edit it. AHERJWEI so frustrating.

What are your WTF moments lately?

[QUOTE]My WTF moment - I was getting ready to work on a group presentation that my partner had already started.  It was on HIV/AIDS in the aging population.  The first slide was a hyperlink "They found a cure for AIDS."  I clicked on it - it was a clip from South Park, when they discovered that AIDS is cured by money (by injecting blended up money into the blood stream).  I was LIVID.   We're effing grad students.  I emailed him to say it was completely inappropriate and irrelevant.  He replied with "I know it's not relevant, but [professor's name] said it was fine to use."  So not only did he have a terrible idea, but he went and asked our professor behind my back. I have to turn in the final copy of our group paper Monday, and I'm not looking forward to essentially rewriting his part.  I tried to fix some grammatical errors in the presentation, and he changed them back after I was done editing! (We were using Google Docs.)  I mean it's fine that English is not his first language.  But he should get that if I change something, it's for a reason.  UGH.  I cannot wait for this class to be over.

Wow that is definitely a WTF moment. I hate hate hate group projects. I hate that we are forced to do them with people who are either a) stupid or b) don't GAF

UGH!

I suggest throwing your shoe at his head. This method works for me in similar situations. May your aim be straight and your arm swift! Good luck!

Wow, I can't believe a prof would actually agree to that.

My wtf moment of the day was the fact that half of my patients today were taken off-study for progressive disease. The pharmacy started calling me the Angel of Death :X.
