Some people just piss me off.
If you know me well at all, this is coming as no shock to you. It happens quite often, someone pissing me off, and at the smallest things too. But, it seems like, it's happening more and more frequently these days and I need to get it out.
I know about a lot of things, but I have never really considered myself one of those types to "know everything." You know those people that I am talking about. They tell you exactly how to do everything, why how you are doing is wrong, and and why you should do it exactly the way that they are telling you. And, when they are challenged, they get pissed off, defensive and otherwise even more irritating because you have to listen to them after, well, listening to them for a friggin' hour already. It's stupid, ridiculous and one of the main reasons why you will never see me being a teacher, because I do not have what it takes not the slap the shit out of some smart-mouthed little bitch who does not know when to shut her pie hole. Yes... While typing all of this, I have a specific person in mind and, don't worry, I am getting to her. Either way, as a general percentage of humanity, these people really test my nerves and when I have to deal with one of them on a daily basis, it's hardly a pretty situation.
So, there is this girl in my digital photography class... There are so many reasons why I don't feel bad for her when that is exactly what she wants me to do. One of the main reasons being that she is a smart-mouthed know it all, that talks more shit than she has the ability to back up. FYI to all of you in the world, just because you consider yourself an expert and/or professional at something, and just because you get paid to do it, doesn't mean that you are good at it. And, for all I know, the fact that you get paid to do it could just be more shit that you are spewing.
Now, let me get this out first - I am not saying that the girl doesn't take good pictures. From what I have seen, some are good, others are bad and some are excellent. She pretty much falls into the same category as me or anyone else in the class. Which pretty much proves my point even more; she knows just as much as anyone else in the class and needs to otherwise shut her mouth and listen. She has an opinion about everything and has to challenge everything that is said. Note, I am not the only one who feels that way. In fact, someone came to me (without my having said a word about it) and started to spill their feelings, which happened to be about the same as mine. It's ridiculous and annoying. And, I don't care if you already know everything that is being taught to you, shut your mouth and stop making the class that much more miserable for everyone else in it.
My pictures haven't been the best. Hell, in comparison to some of the pictures that I have taken in the past? These are downright awful. Most of what I have taken, I've hated. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I don't have much motivation/inspiration/cool scenes to work with. A little more has to do with, I am playing around with settings on my camera that I didn't even know existed prior to coming into this class and it's not entirely working in my favor. Finally, a little more, I think has to do with the pressure of actually taking good photos because I know that other people are going to be looking at them. That, in my experience, never works in my favor.
So, honestly, I don't know how my grade is going to turn out in this class. Hopefully, not badly. But, I can tell you one thing, having to sit in class for two hours a day with a whiney, know it all that has a big mouth doesn't help. It makes me not want to show up to class when I really need to be there. It also makes me talk a lot in order to shut her up, which I am not overly fond of doing either.
This wasn't even what originally inspired this post, but as you can imagine, this is what the focus ended up being on because this girl honestly ticks me off. Other than that, parents... (but, strangely, not my parents this time around) tick me off too.
