#26603 So I read that when you take your dog out and it goes poop it stares at its owner for protection. So now whenever I take my dog out and she poops and gives me that awkward stare I exaggerate me looking around so that she knows I understand her vulnerability and am on high alert for her.

#26602 How much does GPA matter when it comes to getting a job after graduation? As long as I keep it above a 3.0 am I good? I'm in the college of Health and Human Sciences.

#26601 Alright, I was the one who ranted yesterday about the pedestrian. Wanted to give a bit more context. It was a one way street, and 2 lanes, University street. I was in the right lane, and there were 4 cars directly to my left all moving. They were directly behind one another. I had little sight of the sidewalk on the left side of the street. This pedestrian without looking, walked out in front of the 3rd car to my left. There was literally maybe 1.5-2 car lengths between the second and third cars in the left lane. He walked out in between those cars without stopping, or even simply acknowledging there were cars driving down the street. I barely saw him before he was literally right in front of my car. Could've looked at it from the point of the car next to me slamming on the brakes, but that happened so quick it didn't give me even simple reaction time, even at 12 mph. Right of way doesn't mean you own the street and can do whatever you want. It still means you have to have a bit of common sense. Most pedestrians have this. The guy Wednesday morning did not. He was purely negligent. He wasn't walking slow either. It was like the freaking Olympic speed walking championship, except directly into traffic.

#26600 I just don't really know what to do...

I've lost all motivation to do anything, I'm a full time student and I also work long hours so I can pay my way through college. I've stopped going to some of my classes all together. I'm depressed, I'm scared, and just want it all to end. I've been playing scenarios over and over again in my head, trying to work up the gut to finally go through with it. I tired seeking help through Prudue. My advisor has been out sick and all of the guidance counselors aren't seeing anyone for the rest of the semester. I'm at the end of my rope and just don't know what really else to do

#26599 My opinions on taxes differ so much from everyone. Things like registration. Why should a new car cost more to register. An older car is more likely to do damage to the road. Its a rich person tax. Its a tax because that person can "afford" the tax. I cant see how someone would think this is fair.

#26598 I rock a comb-over because of Gene Keady.

#26597 Pedestrians, I'm begging you: QUIT PLAYING CHICKEN WITH CARS AND SCREWING AROUND IN CROSSWALKS!

Over spring break, a guy in the crosswalk by the CoRec thought it would be hilarious to fuck around in traffic, just to amuse his friends. He crossed halfway, then stood with his fists on his hips and his chest puffed out like a superhero and just stood there. I stopped and waited, about a minute rolls by and he wouldn't move. His two buddies cracking up on the sidewalk, and there was no one else around to cross, but now a few other cars had stopped for this idiot. I finally honked and he raised his arms like Superman "flying," and essentially zoomed back and forth across the crosswalk, blocking me and now four other people from continuing down the road. A big man driving a red truck who was coming my direction, put his can in park, and got out to yell at the guy to move; "Superman" flew off in the direction of his friends, laughing their asses off.

Not funny, not cool. Pull your head out of your ass and quit fucking around for shits and giggles in the goddamned street. This is college and you're supposed to be an adult for fuck's sake! ACT LIKE IT, TURD.

#26596 Okay, let me rant here for a second. Just because I have to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, that doesn't mean that a pedestrian should just run out in front of oncoming traffic without stopping to make sure anyone's going to stop. There was a guy on Wednesday morning that didn't even stop, and didn't even look to see if there was oncoming traffic there. He wouldn't have even known if there was a firetruck or police coming since he also had headphones on. I had to slam on my brakes because I didn't see him coming, and before I knew it, he was right in front of my car. He got honked at and he didn't care. C'mon guys. Even if you do have the right-of-way, don't use it to be a complete idiot.
