Can't see the forest through the trees.

When a person focuses too much on small detail (trees), and misses the big picture (forest).
Stressed out person on vacation: "we have to awake at 4:00am, eat breakfast at 5:00am, goto the tour at 6:00am, arrive at the park 1 hour later, buy this, see that, go here, go there... are you writing this down!"

me: "how about, I'm on vacation, I'll be resting and meet you for lunch."

me behind the other person's back: "yikes, that person Can't see the forest through the trees."

Forest Lake Senior High School

A dumpy school in Forest Lake MN where almost everyone gets high (DO NOT go into the bathroom if your not interested in drugs) and acts like they are some hardcore country kid. Most of the people aren't very interesting to talk to and the people who are get ignored by everyone else. The so-called "popular" kids are normally just obnoxious stoners or rich. Everyone is a christian and goes to church every sunday and says bible quotes on their facebook page to make sure everyone knows they praise Jesus even though they are rude to everyone in school. Most of the guys are quite odd looking too (imagine the most stereotypical stoner and you have most of them).The parking lot is a joke too with way too much traffic. The reason the parking lot gets so crowded is because there are way too many buses leaving and that every guy drives a truck. The walls in the classrooms are ready to fall over any second but more than half of the classrooms have expensive projectors and smartboards with cheap desks showing that the school doesn't know how to spend money. Basically if your not into redneck stuff you won't survive long.
Hey look another poser pretending hes a redneck we must be in Forest Lake Senior High School
