8th Grade Education - NOT Funny

This is another one from Kellie, my Senior Content Provider. Most of the stuff Kellie sends me qualify as funnies. When I first read it I thought, that's not funny, that's sad.

Is it Better for a Blogger To Be Angry or Disappointed?

It's a common scenario. Something happens. The person who did it stands before two people who have different negative feelings about what happened. One is angry at the person who did it. The other is disappointed in the person who did it. After all the apologies are said and the arsechewing is done,... Sign in to see full entry.
