I hate my school.
And I can say that now, because my reference has been written and sent off to various Unis, and I’m leaving in half a year, and so I can say what I like now. Plus, they’ll never find this, so they’ll never know I said it. Can you tell that I’m becoming more and more paranoid that “they” will tell me off for this? Whatever. Moving on.
I grumble a lot about my school, usually to one of my music teachers who is lovely and funny and somehow gets Vicky and I to pour our hearts out to him without even realising. Usually on a Friday. They’ve become known as “emotional Fridays”. Anyway, anything that goes wrong, I often add to my list of “why I hate this school” although often, it isn’t necessarily their fault. One of the things I’m going to talk about actually isn’t, but it makes me hate it nonethless. It’s justified in my head, okay?
Every day I have to stand in the car park waiting for my mum to come and pick me up, because I can’t drive yet, oh woe is me. Every single day I get more and more irritated watching people be completely selfish, it makes me want to scream. It’s like they think nobody can see, because they’re in their cars, or they don’t care because they can run you over anyway. Or maybe they’re just mean people. I wouldn’t be surprised if my school just attracts the daughters of such people.
Our car park is very small, and to make it worse, we have to share it with the boy’s school, meaning twice the number of cars enter it every day than it can hold. In addition, it’s at the end of the drive, so all the teachers have to drive through it to get out. It gets very jammed up at the end of school.
That, I can live with. What I can not live with is all these tiny little people in their massive cars pushing in queues when it suits them to leave. Or worse, driving around until they get to the pedestrian crossing, then stopping and waiting until their child gets in the car so they don’t have to park, like everyone should. This creates a huge queue, which ends up backing up half way down the road, making everyone else wait – because there’s no point in walking down the road to meet your car because there’s nowhere to turn around and you’ll still be stuck in a queue. Just because one person is too lazy and too selfish to park, or drive on further. Just because they’re bigger than you they think they can do anything. I think I’ll drive a truck when I pass my test, so I can smash through them when they annoy me.
What are some of your driving pet hates?

I think that problem could be solved by having a separate drive-thru type of lane where you can pick up your children. I think that’s what most of the schools I’ve been to have done, and it makes things a whole lot more efficient.
Driving pet hates… in parking lots, I really hate when people don’t follow the arrows for traffic flow, or when people park ridiculously, because it’s really not that hard to center your car in a space. It’s also bothersome when people don’t use their signals or leave them on forever, and of course, pedestrians should always have the right of way…
