I came across this while alone in the office today. Explains what teachers really are. And to be frank, I've had this thought for years because god damn I hate my teachers. Well, some of them.
More than likely, the individual you call your 'teacher' is simply a pathetic representative for whatever field they truly wanted to get into in the first place. For example, picture that you were an expert at mathematics. Would you be a teacher? Of course not. You'd be a mathematician, or, more likely, a highly-paid engineer. Those who major in mathematics and fail to make the cut because they lack the ability to do anything productive find they have no place to go but teaching. This is true across the board: your physics teacher failed to make it as a legitimate scientist, your literature teacher's poetry was too shitty to be published, and your social studies teacher couldn't find any place that was willing to pay for a columnist who was as much of a dumbass as he was. As a result, they all file in en masse to take out their personal failures on you. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "the gift of a good education"

Accident on the LDP
No, it wasn't me. It was some guy in a grey Wira who managed to crash and land on top of one of the dividers along the LDP. This caused a slight jam as everybody was slowing down to look...as if they actually cared.
To the driver of that Wira, you Sir, are an asshole.
I would have loved to take a picture of that scene. But I really don't have to because everybody knows that everyday, somebody gets into an accident on the LDP.
HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ON STRAIGHT AND WIDE ROADS??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I finally now understand why they say that the traffic jams in KL is the worst in the country. No it is not because of the number of cars on the roads. Nor is it the fault of certain drivers who love to weave in and out of traffic because let's face it...there is no use faulting this kind of people as their destiny have already been determined the moment that they decided to cut into your lane just because you were a bit too slow to move. They are all going to hell.
So anyways, in my most humblest opinion, if we were to fault someone or something for the massive jams, let us all get together and point our fingers at, drum roll please, the highway and road designers.
For now, I will be focusing on the LDP. It is the highway, well, when I meant highway I actually want to mean death road, that I use to go to and from work everyday. It is a sometimes 2, sometimes 3 and sometimes 4 laned highway. Which is great! Going to work (from Kota Damansara to Subang Jaya) is a breeze. I can easily do 90kp/h on average on the LDP. And then, there's the after work traffic.
For some unexplainable reason, the LDP lanes going towards Kota Damansara managed to get itself stuck in some space vacuum where everything moves 9 times slower. This only applies when either somebody got into an accident or somebody's car broke down on the LDP, both of which happens everyday because there are still people stupid enough to get into an accident on straight highway roads (what the fuck is up with that?) and there are some people who think that the temperature gauge on their car is meaningless. They should have renamed it the Cock gauge. You would know that you are a gigantic cock who's going to cause a massive jam when your meter starts to hit the red region....followed by steam from the bonnet.
Right, highway designs. In short, LDP, 4 lanes when there are people turning onto the LDP from other places. 2 lanes when there is a turn to an exit, 2 lanes to go straight on. So if you and me and everybody else in the world just want to go straight on, we will all have to squeeze into the 2 lanes. Which is some fucked up bullshit man!
Then there's that odd forked road near SS2 or whichever. It's right after the underpass. Once again, 4 lanes. But Holy Jesus, LDP decides to fuck you if you're on the right lane going towards Kota Damansara. The 2 lanes on the right are actually heading for an exit towards KL, while if you want to head to Kota Damansara, you have to move to the 2 lanes on the left. Worse of all, the signboard showing this change is located at.........the fork itself. Which also means that if you're on the right lane heading towards Kota Damansara, and you find that you can finally read the signboard at the forked road, chances are you're on your way to KL. Too bad! LDP has fucked you in your ass.
Reason for this rant about the LDP was because of the big jam on Friday. I was stuck on the LDP......for 2 and a half hours. And to back up my statement about time moving 9 times slower, I was averaging only 10kp/h. Why? Because one car broke down on one of the 2 lane straights while another broke down on 1 of the left lanes at the forked road. We can blame these 2 cars but then we all know that in the first place, 2 lanes can never handle the heavy traffic.
So please, LDP, and other highway designer people, please build a wider road for us...especially when you know that half the population of Selangor is going to use it. And don't get me started on the Federal Highway. I don't use it much but I sure can see the jams there.
