The most pissed off I ever got was the day my Advanced Higher English folio was due. I had spent a long time writing stories and my dissertation, the biggest pieces I had ever written at school and I felt such a sense of achievement. However, when I handed it to my teacher the day it was due, my classmate (it was just 2 of us in the class) dropped a bombshell. The night before, she had been online looking on the SQA website (information on Scottish qualifications) and had come across some guidelines for the dissertation which included having to write references, have footnotes etc and all this other stuff that we knew nothing about. So that was fine, she sorted hers all out the night before and added in all this extra stuff so hers was ready to be submitted- but she hadn't thought to contact me and let me know about all this stuff I didn't know which I though was so unfair considering there was only two of us. So the day it was due I ended up having to go home and do a mad rush to get all this stuff added in on time- it was really stressful and could have been totally avoided if my "friend" had been capable of giving me a text or phone call, obviously too much to ask. I was sooooo angry and stressed that day.
And I failed the course.

china are building dozens of coal power stations and loads of fat Americans are rolling around in gas guzzling 4x4 vehicles. And they tell me I can save the planet by switching the TV off at the plug overnight! Why? Because it is the tiny standby light that is causing the hole in the Ozone?! Get a ****ing grip!
