I was reminded today why i absolutely detest large concentrations of people, especially young people in school.
So i usually work monday-wednesday, while thursday and friday are spent in trade school (not sure if this is the correct term, its where i get the theoretical knowledge for my chosen apprenticeship). This week the schedule was shifted, so monday got even worse by letting me attend school. It got worse again after i realised that there are around 2x the people around than usual, since they only shifted us around, not the other classes. And to put the cherry on top those other classes include some people i know back from grade-highschool.
So after going trough the usual *lets pretend to be nice to people I hate*, the questions start. "Where have you been?" "Why didnt you call?", I was tempted to be honest and just say "Because any extended time period with you people makes me want to pound nails into my face.", but that would've been additoional drama i didnt want, so i dodged with the usual "I've been busy.".
This is followed by the very same stuff i had to endure back when we were in the same class, "funny" comments about me being a Nerd and overweight (Nevermind that im dieting RIGHT NOW, which prompted a response along the lines of "yeah, right. *snicker*", even tough i actually did loose around 20 punds allready. But thanks guys, you're helping.) and not having a girlfriend. They then tried to hook me up with one of the girls from their class, which in their minds fitted perfectly to me because "She weighs a bit too much as well and shes pretty nerdy.". I was hoping this was just some stupid joke, and thus responded with a flowery version of "Go make love with a pitch fork please.", but said girl actually started hitting on me.
Now, i realise this may come over as offensive, but there was absolutely nothing attractive about this gal. Its not that she was overweight, that i can deal with no problem. But she...smelled. And appearantly tried to cover it with extensive amounts of Deodorant. I'd usually like to remind people that Axe isnt shower in a bottle, but that would've been a tad mean. So i tried the usual "Sorry, not my type."-Shtick (Which, apart from the hygiene issue, was true. I have certain preferences and she didnt fit any of them). This prompted a lot of drama from my classmates and herself, about how i was being shallow and a whole bunch of other insults. At this point i was so annoyed by the whole ordeal that i got kinda angry (Especially since i really tried to be nice up to that point), told the girl that i preffered being shallow over having to wear a Gasmask on our first date. This shut them down and prompted them to leave shortly after.
Well, another group of people who think im an antisocial @$$. And i cant say im mad about it, i mean this way i dont ahve to deal with them anymore.
