"Idiets" #1: The Student Loan Company/Royal Mail
So I applied for my student loan a bit late. Late being 1 month before the course started. But I've applied later than that before and still got my loan within a reasonable time. But this year they've funked it up good an' propah. For a start, the online appliction system didn't work. It's not that it wasn't working - it didn't exist! That didn't help, because now everything had to be done manually...which leads to small problems like them not sending off my forms. And when they do send off my forms, the Post Office lose them, and I don't find out for another month. Good thing I did leave Uni, or I wouldn't be able to pay for travel, accommodation, or tuition fees.
"Idiet" #2: My scum-sucking Brother
This is a family thing, which I shouldn't be putting in the open, but I'm beyond caring. When I was young he stole and sold my Megadrive for drug money. When I was not-so-young, he stole my PSOne, and sold that for drug money. All of this he denies, but I know a lot more about him than he thinks I do. And I certainly know more than my parents do. But what he's done now is beyond any acceptable "issue" for a family member to cause: bailiffs. He's always been in debt, and he always takes out loans with credits companies to clear one debt, but just makes another. I think he's basically stuck in a spiral, and the only way out is pure, hard cash...which he has had thousands of from my parents over the years. But it's something else to go from phone calls from credit companies, to having a "bailiffs are coming in 10 days" letter posted - by hand - through your door.
Oh, did I mention he hasn't lived at home for three years? That's right, he still get his letters delivered here, and signs up for new loans to our home address, because he doesn't want people coming to his door. I've never met anyone as selfish as him in my entire life.
"Idiet" #3: The idiot that called me an "idiet" on Halo
This really made me laugh. He was one of those people that is really good, until someone just as good comes along and teaches them a lesson. "Your such an idiet"...bwahahahaha

He has all the classic symptoms of a hardcore computer geek.
Maybe he didn't sell your stuff maybe he's combineing them all in to one uber computer.
The mood swings can be explained if you watch anyone play counterrstrike.
"lalala all happy *walks round corner* 'guy crouching with m4 in corner' BLAM you die, $£%@^&$ swiftly leaves your mouth and your computer gets yelled at alot"
> I say you fight your brother.
No, it's not like in Scotland, SHEEPY, we have laws.
Sorry, I'm insensitive.
As mister bailiff utters a few sputtering words to the effect of "I'm just doing my job!", be sure to tell him to give your regards to Satan.
As for your brother, I also say you fight him.
Violence solves everything.

A fight in the family has NO LAWS!!! I knocked my brother to the ground and then beat his face with a nearby shoe. Good times.
For some reason I loved that phrase.
