The “Math Has Too Many Problems” Joke

Yeah, you know what joke I’m talking about. Imagine the following in a really annoying voice: “HEY EVERYONE! Why did my math textbook and I had to end our relationship?! [*waits for you to guess* TEEHEE] BECAUSE! It had too many problems! LOLOLOLOL!”

NO.

Okay, maybe that’s a bit harsh. I’m all for any kind of joke, cheesy or not, so you can imagine my hatred for math when I can’t even enjoy anything comically-related to math. Math and I have never gotten along. I mean, NEVER. Sure okay, I did pretty okay in middle school (but who cares, honestly?). But once I got to high school, geometry, calculus, trig… pfft. To this day, I’m 100% math illiterate. Don’t let the “100%” fool you… I am seriously horrible at math. I’m writing this at 3 in the morning right now because I’m literally about to explode because of my stats homework.

On a related note, I would like to punch the person who created the “online homework/webassign” concept IN THE THROAT. It really annoys me that I’m bad at math, but when the online submission site won’t take my answer that I AM POSITIVE IS RIGHT (after hours on one problem), I literally want to explode. Literally. Explode. So, I guess this rant is for the online homework sites: PLEASE GO AWAY. ALSO, $62.95 FOR A ONE YEAR ONLINE HOMEWORK SUBSCRIPTION IS TOO EXPENSIVE, NOT TO MENTION I ONLY NEED IT FOR THE ONE SEMESTER I TAKE STATS AND NOT 365 DAYS!

I’m sorry for this rant, I’m never really angry about much, but this…. ohhhh…. THIS. IT MAKES ME WANT TO USE EXPLETIVES! I really do want to explode right now. You know, that feeling you get when you’re so tense and you feel like you’ll never break free? That’s where I am. Also, it’s 3:20 in the morning and I have a test in another class tomorrow as well as a band concert. I’ll guess the exploding will have to be postponed for now…

Until then, here’s a joke: Why did I return my math textbook?

If you said it was because it had too many problems, you are wrong. I bought the required $63 online subscription, remember? You should have been paying attention to my post, just like I should have been paying attention in math.
