Short, pointless, rant.

I really honestly hate it when people tell me what to do. Especially if they have no idea what they're doing and they're just telling you what to do because they think they're better at whatever you're doing than you are. I tend to get in arguments with people who tell me what to do, and then we end up hating each other for a very long time. I once had a ski instructor who told me what to do. See this really wouldn't have been a problem if he was older than me, or knew what he was doing himself, but he was my age, and really didn't know how to ski in powder at all. We fought a little... and we still don't really get along. I told one of my teachers this at camp, and he addressed me as "issues with authority"... If you've met me, I would be the last person you would ever address as "issues with authority"... Rant over.

Sorry.
