This thread is for all the people who get every point in a class, crys when they get a 99% on a test, and fucks up the curve for the rest of the saps.

If you're an overachiever, the least you could do is spell it correctly.

Taint me!

I found out I had a 80 in accounting today and the professor was like "You can bring that up"

I said "You're right."

I thought "OMG it isnt a C!"

Being #1 at everything takes too much work, and limits your ability to have a "life." I prefer to do just enough work that I'm in the top couple of percent, then goof off while the overachievers sweat the last few points.

I dunno, some kid in my English class today gets back his test and almost breaks down in tears. We were all like...'Whoa. He failed.'.....

Then someone next to him asked him what he got.

He got an 89 and was upset because he didn't get a 90.

Rather waste some time with you

(Okay, -I- thought it was funny.)

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

There is a joke in my history class, that I hate scores that end in '9' and he constantly does things to upset me, like: Okay, ya got an 87 + 2 bonus points and alot of the time, it happens that I get something with a 9 ending it, just anyhow. He grades homework as check +, check, check -, and check -- and he gave me a check 9.

That joke continues but now, we have a new one: I threaten to urinate in his soup.

His response?

'I like it 6 parts urine, 5 parts soup'

The way I figure it, you do the last you can and still look good.

Hence the reason that my couple classes I got A's in last semester were 90-92%

Why overachieve when you can have some fun?

Yeah, if I do poorly on a test, or at least could to a lot better, I'll be upset. However, I'm not going to cry just because I got... Oh, say, 95% when I know I could get 100%. Hell, I'd be glad to get 95% on all my tests.

BLOODSAGE! Thats me, right there.

Why go through all the trouble to be the absolute best, when ya can get done what ya need to get done, almost as well, do just as good, but do alot less work?

By god, the less i have to do to accomplish a goal, the better *grin*

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.
