Drivers Ed! We just finished taking drivers Ed classes and I can't believe what a waste of time it was. All the teacher made us do in the class room was take a bunch of tests, which she didn't grade, and tell us to study on our own! I do so hate government programs!

I would be completely satisfied if my parents would drive me everywhere, but unfortunately that's not going to happen.

All kinds of flying monsters, except for birds. Especially flies that wouldn't die despite being hit several times with a swatter.

Having a lovely day out in the sun, reading under a tree... When a bird flies over and poops on one of your favourite books. A lot.

Hear me birds, you have lost your feeder with special treats outside the garden indefinately.

My friend took a class like that, and they didn't even show her how to change a tire or check engine fluids... Tisk, tisk.
I'd try finding a relative who either has enough experience or is in a profession that has them driving everywhere and most of the time (ex: commercial driving). Usually relatives are the best form of 'study'.

Mosquitos. Boredom. People who think they can abuse at others when they don't know anything about the state of things.

I'd like to assign hearing the phone ring when it isn't ringing. I work part-time at a Christian radio station, and most of the music that plays is worship music. I suppose it's the abundance of tambourines that makes the difference, but it drives me crazy because I'm staring at the silent phone and hearing it ring! Grr!

When you spend time (and your school makes you revise) for some national tests (SATs) and all of one subject's papers go missing. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at these three links.)

Oh yeah I heard about that happening Eonwe. Just look on the bright side if you can and be glad it wasn't something like A levels so you wouldn't even know whether you'd got into uni!

I shall assign unpredictable weather. When I left this morning it was gorgeous sunshine so I dressed for it, when I came back it had turned rather chilly. It irritating to be summery and yet carry an umbrella and a jumper!

I assign ultimatums and people who think it's wise to try to bully me with one. Really, they've known me long enough that they should have guessed I'd pick the option they'd like least.

I'm certain that this won't sit well with everyone, but I'd like to assign waking up to (especially) AC/DC in the morning. In fact, I would be happy to just send the whole of the nineteen-eighties to Mordor, my birth therein notwithstanding.

Also, I would like to follow all stubbed toes, wether or not they lead to broken bones, and reoccured injuries thought long laid to rest.
