Actually, they do teach those things in school. They just cleverly disguise them under the titles "English", "Math", and "History".
Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to sarcastically scoff about having to learn the Pythagreon Theorem and other aspects of math that you deem uneccessary on the internet if not for those very concepts.
Screw it, Witlon's 1st round draft pick puts it best.
Math doesn't suck, you do.
Devil's Advocate:
Some of these things are idiotic complaints. If you didn't learn what taxes are or anything to do with banking in HS, you're a moron. With that said, my high school did not teach us how to do taxes (fuck, I still suck at filling out W2s at every job I work, how to actually write a cover letter (learned that in college and from google and through trial and error), or how to apply for loans and shit.
Now, they did teach the basic things that go into those things. They taught me how to write words, how to be grammatically correct, how to do basic math, etc. But that's not quite the same thing.

It's not exactly the same thing, as in they didn't directly teach how to do those specific tasks, but if you learned those basic tools then it's not a very large step to learn what the photo is whining about.
Grade school and high school isn't intended to teach you everything you need to know in life. It's intended to teach you the fundamental building blocks you need to learn everything you need to learn in life; hence teaching you math which is essential for doing taxes and teaching you grammar which is essential for writing a resume.
Also, taxes is probably one of the easiest tasks I have ever performed. It's as simple as following laid out instructions.

I hate following instructions, lol

This image is the epitome of human narcissism and melodrama. Basically, it's saying that if I see something "evil" and "manipulative" about someone and nobody else does it's obviously not that I'm wrong about that person. I'm obviously right and they're all wrong....how frustrating!

Facebook must have changed their URL format because most of the pictures I directly linked are gone and now my rants are directed at nothing :laugh:
I uploaded the last one to photobucket, though. I will not be held back with my incessant whining.

I prefer not being so narcissistic that I think everyone's world revolves around me and I need immediate responses all the time.
