To the women who makes all of our already annoying class changes and transcript requests even harder. You are a lazy-assed bitch who for some reason thought she could work in a HIGH SCHOOL without having to speak to teenagers and help them and let alone the GUIDANCE office. I realize that there are probably little pricks who walk into the office with no recollection or how to ask politely, but this is not a good reason for you to be rude and the most unhelpful person to everyone else, including us people who are polite. PLEASE quit, I’m asking politely. Or when I ask for a transcript or an appointment just just sit there and grumpily say “I don’t know, why don’t you ask you’re guidance counselor!” Okay, then please help me make an appointment, you are their secretary after all.

Don’t expect it to get any better if you plan on advancing to University. I’ve been to four universities and only one has been half decent at customer service, and unfortunately it’s the registrar’s office and student accounts/financial services that suck the worst…and you have no choice but to deal with them.
So get used to it.
how long have you been reading LTTWB?
does it sound like it gets any better outside of high school? Rudeness is plentiful everywhere you go.
Either resist and see a smile once in a while, or join em.
