I know!!! That happens to me and it's really annoying.

UPDATE!!!
1. When people just hit (not like beat you to a bloody pulp, but still just like a nice firm jab) you just for no reason....
2. Sarcastic impoliteness
3. Me being too passive

Hehe I have poor grammar and a whine!

3.When my trajectory partner decides hes really tired in the middle of practice.

I know!
Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

I just dont like it when one of my old friends would get so upset when i would throw with him at the beginning of baseball pratices and i would throw the ball and it lands an inch infront of him and yet he says i cant throw when i have to rune a god dam mile just to catch one of his throws

Lets see when there are specific freshmen in my Sci Oly class that decide just cause there is a sub for the day that can play games all day

When the sub decides that she doesnt actually need to teach the class and just talks on her cell phone the whole class. one of the worst subs for that class
