Vent Your Frustrations • Page 6

That's weird. My parents kept all of my stuff until I went through it and got everything I wanted. It's all stored in a hope chest at their house. I would be so mad, too.

 

They actually listened so it went well. Hectic but not really stressful.

 

I'm tired of having to turn of annotations every time I watch a video on Youtube.

 

I know the feels. My parents try to throw my belongings out all the time I don't understand it. It's like they don't want me to have any memories

 

Nailed it. It's trivial stuff to like 99.9% of the world but it matters to me. I'm packing up all my stuff and leaving it in my car until I move out in a month.

 

I wish my mom had thrown out all of the stuff from my exes. She kept it all in boxes. It felt weird when I finally got rid of it.

 

This dude who works in our Houston satellite office told me a story about how one time he was behind a guy who he thought was driving too slow in the fast lane. He kept honking at the guy and was really being kind of a dick but eventually he started to pass the guy on the shoulder of the road out of anger. The "slow driver guy" then PULLED OUT A SHOTGUN AND SHOT HIM. He went to the hospital and ended up being OK with some sweet scars on his shoulder. The shooter's girlfriend called the cops on him and he went to jail for a few years for attempted murder but now he's out.

This story makes me never want to be a dick on the road ever again. The guy who told me the story doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would make up this kind of story for the hell off it, and he even admitted he was being a jerk but the reaction to his honking was a bit extreme lol.

 

Fucking hell. I'm pretty passive on the road. I stay out of the fast lane unless I'm going faster than traffic, regardless of the speed limit or how many lanes there are. I can count with my fingers how many times I've honked at someone and I would absolutely never brake check haha. I'm all talk. Unfortunately (or fortunately), bitching after the fact is the only way to vent frustration when it comes to shit drivers.
Here's another example:

People are shitty and it doesn't take much to push some over the edge. You could call into question whether or not this guy would actually shoot someone (I'm thinking no), but still. Not worth rolling the dice.

 

People are crazy. I'm afraid I'll honk at someone sometime for doing something dumb and they'll pull a gun on me.

The other night someone was tailgating me in the SLOW LANE in which I was driving 75mph. -.- smh

Also when I was leaving work the other day, I was going around this roundabout and I honked at this guy for cutting me off, I had the right-of-way he hand the yield. He threw his hands like "what did I do"... umm you're suppose to yield not try to speed up and go.

 

Only time I've had to honk at someone was when a big 'ol water truck didn't stay in his lane during a left turn and nearly hit me. The guy didn't even stop when I was honking and came within inches to scraping my car. I pulled up to him and my friend yelled at him. Guy totally knew he was in the wrong so he didn't really have much to say back besides something like "I'm just trying to get home like you are" or some shit.

 

That's the problem with people these days. Too many people are in too much of a hurry that they drive like shit and do dumb shit. Running stop signs, red lights, nearly hitting people, etc

 

I do shine my brights at cars that don't have their lights on at night. And at cars that are obviously swerving.

I'll take a bullet for those stupid drivers. But not really.


I remember going to work one morning and this SUV slowed down at a red light (empty intersection at 4am. not that it's okay then.) and then blew right the shit through it. What an ass. It's people like that who don't think the rules apply to them that cause issues.

 

A friend of mine's husband got stabbed in the head because of a road rage incident. He survived but was never the same and they got divorced eventually. I think he was being kinda of a jerk and started the incident but yeeeeah the guy finished it in a horrific way. He still gets seizures sometimes.

I've used my horn twice. One during my driver's test so they could see that the horn worked, and once at a dog that wouldn't get out of my way.

 

My girlfriend and I have the most road rage on earth. For example, today a car didn't immediately go when the light turned green...so naturally my girlfriend, who was in the passengers seat while I was driving, leaned over and honked the horn and yelled at me for being too slow to honk.

 

I can't stand when I'm around someone and they lose their shit that quickly - no offense to you or your girlfriend, @Richter915 haha. I'm always the one telling people to let things go.

I was in the backseat of my friend's car one day. He was driving and his wife was in the front seat. I didn't see what happened, but apparently a girl at a crosswalk crossed when the sign said to and she didn't look to the left beforehand. My friend said something to the effect of, "Oh my god, are you serious? What an idiot. I could have been a drunk driver and she just walked right in front of me without looking." Right away, his wife took his side and backed him up. I was thinking, what the fuck do you two care? It's like it cost him his entire day or something, when in reality, it had zero effect on him, his wife, me, the car we were in, or anyone else on the fucking block. He was so uppity that he would put people down over the smallest things like that. We went back and forth on the matter for a good 2 minutes and he wouldn't change his mind. Glad I don't associate with that person anymore.

Not saying Richter shares those qualities, that post just reminded me of that moment and evidently it still bothers me haha.

 

I swear every time I look in the mirror I find more gray hairs -.-

 

Living in Houston I have absolutely no trouble believing this.

 

Someone nearly ran me off the road last week. I was driving to work and part of the 20 minute drive is on the interstate. I was trying to merge in and this dude planted himself right next to me in the lane I needed to get to before mine ended. I look over and he's got both hands off the steering wheel and on his phone. Totally oblivious to the world around him. I slowed down, merged in behind him, and went to pass him at which time I honked at him trying to get him to put down the phone and he looked at me then purposefully swerved at me. People are assholes.

 

I tent to defer to assholes on the road. I don't want to start some shit with someone who might have a weapon or something on them. I carry something on me at all times, but I'd just rather not get in the situation.

 

I will be unfriending another fb friend for voting for trump. He says it's an "educated decision" on what he think "is best for this country". I will not associate myself with someone who supports a hateful, horrible person.

 

About four different things went wrong that prevented me from going to visit friends whom I had already told I would be visiting today. Plans to hang out with friends that past couple days also fell through because they didn't text me back. Another friend who was supposed to go to a concert with me next weekend might not be able to actually go now (and he was my ride), and on top of that the girl I really wanted to see has work that entire weekend and I was looking forward to her coming down but now that's not happening. Fuck, this is why I hate making plans cuz I get my hopes up and it just feels like 90% of the time they fall through and it's so god damn frustrating and disappointing. I haven't smoked or drank in about a month and now that's all I want to do tonight so I'm trying to get that arranged cuz I'm just done and I need to get out of the house.

 

I know the feeling. One of my few friends is terrible and texting back. She would want to make plans for us to go out of town to hangout so we can have a break from our town and when I tell her I finally have a weekend off and we should go, it falls through. She either doesn't text me about it or makes excuses about money, yet she'll do weekend trips all the time with her boyfriend. One time I took the weekend off (at my old job) and she never texted me back until hours later saying something like "sorry I was shopping with my stepson" let's go tomorrow and for tomorrow to come for another excuse. At this point I pretty much stopped trying to ask to hangout because I know we will make plans and I'll never hear from her

 

It's part of why I don't like making plans. I get disappointed to easily.

 

Same! And when I don't hangout I have "excuses". -.-

 

One of my friends who is going through treatment for her intense eating disorder just called me out of nowhere. We were talking for a minute and then my mom came in out of nowhere and started bothering me, she asked if I was busy and I tried to shake it off but she assumed I was. She began to cry and hyperventilate and hung up. I now cant get in touch with her at all and am flipping out, ffffffff!!!!!! :'(
