So because of the Olympics, for nearly two months, there hasn't been bus service at UBC. There has been bus service to UBC, but not at UBC. The buses have had to take an alternate route down SW Marine Drive instead of the usual Wesbrook Mall, and only drop off and pick up passengers at the bus loop, which is nowhere near the science buildings.

The bus loop isn't near the life science buildings, but it is pretty close to chemistry and physics.

Who cares about physics and chemistry; I'm in microbiology. With the exception of one arts course, none of my classes are in the chem or physics buildings, and I don't work late in the lab several times a week in those buildings!

Also, do you TRY to be annoying, or is that the way you are, and you just can't help it?

Re: nitpick

My point wasn't "you shouldn't complain because some science buildings are close". Rather, it was something like "you might want to clarify that it's life science / buildings, which you need to go to, that aren't close, because it currently sounds like a more general complaint than the you-specific one you seem to have inteded

This is my journal. I'm in the life sciences. I don't need to clarify. The point is: the buildings I need are nowhere near the bus loop, and the world revolves around me, you know.

I'm not trying to be annoying, so perhaps it is just me. However, to me, you seem predisposed to unnecessarily take offence or find annoyance in about half my comments here.

Perhaps the problem is YOU. I dislike it when people--especially people who don't know me and who don't have access to my friends only entries--make assumptions about me and what I write (my public entries are all fluffy pieces of crap, BTW, and in no way represent what I am about), or fail to see what the post is about and try and make it about another issue.

Fair enough in general, although in this case you did ask about why I'm annoying, so I responded as best I could, and doing so required making some assumptions and discussing things that aren't relevant to the original post.

The alternative in this case, and in general, would be an agreement / sympathizing comment, which would be less likely to be annoying, but isn't the sort of post I regularly make.

What annoys me is your nitpicking, and apparent deliberate attempt to be annoying. OK, you supposedly can't help but be annoying, but now you know: you are. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks so. And FYI: this is my journal, thus my territory. Be aware that you can't just say anything you want in my journal, particularly if it has nothing to do with the topic (for example, slaughtering cows when the topic is clubbing and skinning live seals). If you continue, I shall ban you.

People are allowed to not agree with me, but once again, stay on topic. And if you don't want to write anything, don't. Why do you even comment in my journal? Surely you must find me particularly fascinating. Who the hell are you, anyway?
