Annoying things on the internet #2: Redirect

Beleive it or not it took me 3 entire minutes to sign into blogger. I'm using a fast computer and my password was correct and all that. It was the redirect. Every time the page loaded it said REDIRECT and led me to a completely irrelevant cooking site, financial site, and even a blank page. It's easy to see where redirect can be useful but imagine what it would be like if you're in school and you have to do some research. Then the computer "redirects" to a completely irrelevant site. So you go back and try again and it does it again. Since school computers are watched you will probably be reported or something and then it will be the internet's fault. All in all redirect is annoying.

Grades are NOT set in stone!

You know what's really annoying? You're looking at your grades and it shows what colleges you can't get in to because of your current G.P.A. I mean it's not like your grade is going to remain that bad for the rest of eternity! GRADES ARE NOT SET IN STONE! If you have an entire semester to go why must you be so preassured now?! I understand it's probably because of motivation but for some familes grades are taken so seriously it's kind of sad. The world will not END if you have an F on one assignment! You can pass your next test and do your homework and the F will be gone. Now that there's no point in F's what's the point in A's? Well A's will get you somewhere in your future life. Just imagine you finally sign up for your life long dream job, but you have an arch rival and the boss of the job has to choose between you and your arch rival. Both of your interviews was flawless so your boss looks at your grades. Your rival has all A's and you have B's C's and one F! YOU DIDN'T GET THAT JOB YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING OF! All because of the A's you didn't get. Which is why A's are important.

Annoying things on the internet #1

So you sign up for an awesome website where you can do something interesting like take care of an online pet or make an online baby or something like that right? Then like a month or five later the website is COMPLETELY CHANGED! For example blogger used to have lots and lots of awesome templates for your blog but now there's only like five. And you can customize those five a lot. It's annoying! But the number one site that kind of drives me off the wall for their website change is foopets. I've been on it for about a year or so and I could take care of a dog and a cat without paying real money. I could have paid real money but I really didn't want to. But then my nephew and I wanted to start an account so we tried to do that and you had to PAY to get a pet. Is anyone else annoyed by stuff like this?! Why do sites do stuff like this?!
