Vent Your Frustrations • Page 66

Neighbors are so annoying y'all. The house next to me is empty. The bank is supposed to be keeping up with it but they don't so no one has mowed at all this year. Neighbor across the street decided it's my fault???? I'm apparently supposed to be keeping up with the mowing and the flower beds, etc. bc it's next door to me. Like guy I got my own yard to keep up with and my own flower beds to deal with. That's already enough work. I'm not going out there and push mowing another big ass yard bc you think it looks ugly. I flat out told him if he doesn't like it, contact the bank or do it himself. And idk why he's on me about it. There's another neighbor on the other side and they aren't doing it either yet he doesn't yell at them. Not my house. Not my responsibility. Get over itttt!

 

"new" guy lacks common sense it seems. He also took nearly an HOUR to do probably the "easiest" client shower. Something that should take no more than 20 min. I had other clients waiting for their turn since we only have one shower room that they use (and I would have gotten them done faster than he did one person). I'm running around starting dinner, doing dishes, laundry, and assisting other people while he takes FOREVER to do one task. I feel like I'm doing more work working with him than "lazy" co worker that lost their overtime because they weren't a team player. I'm literally running around ALL shift non stop because I have to pick up his slack

 

I got hella annoyed today bc I was sitting in the cafeteria on my lunch and this coworker that I rly don't like and has made me feel uncomfortable in the past, comes up to my ex and I and makes some dumb joke. I looked up at him when he came up but didn't smile because i was in a bad mood. He made the joke and I still didn't smile and he cocks his head and goes, are you in a bad mood or something? I answer simply and directly, yes, I am. He says oh okay fine I won't bother you then. I said thank you and went back to what I was doing on my phone. Of course then he has to make these facial expressions and motions like "oh ho ho I'll back up then" and its' like I wasn't even being remotely rude or bitchy I simply answered that yes I was in bad mood. HE offered to leave me alone and all I said was thank you. it just makes me feel like I'm being guilt tripped for not being 100% pleasant on my lunch and off the clock. Like women are judged way more harshly and just expected to be smiling and overly friendly and I hate that shit.

 

fuck em

 

I just want to be clear that I was very conscious of my tone and expression. It was completely neutral, not rude in the slightest. ugh.

 

my dad decided to join me for my vacation and is the worst backseat driver and I'm like ugh

 

I find it funny how the people you work with who complain the most are the ones that never do any work. Like why you complaining when you don’t get shit done to begin with? Smh

 

i can't focus on anything today and it's making me so mad!!!!

 

When a movie/tv show has a funny line and someone repeats the funny line and laughs. Idk why but it grates so hard. We all just heard the quote directly from the actor like why are you repeating it??? Espesh if them repeating it obscures the sound of the next line and I miss stuff. Like just laugh, you don't need to repeat dialogue!!!

 

i do that so much genuinely sorry though, I think that to myself when I do it too

 

Lol my ex bf used to do it so it joined the list of things I can no longer stand, in addition to constant throat clearing.

 

I have a holiday to Barcelona booked for Saturday, and last night it emerges that Spanish Air Control staff are threatening to strike.

This is so fucking infuriating. I totally understand the concerns of the staff, but it doesn't make it any better for me.

Holidays 2018: Is YOUR flight to Spain at risk of being CANCELLED? Airport chaos predicted

 

It’s been a MONTH and I still yet to have an answer on whether or not I’m going to have to pay back the money my company gave me. How long is it going to take?? What happens if i quit? Why is it taking so long to work on this issue

 

ARGHGHGHG BOTH OF THESE THINGS......SO ANNOYING.

 

I need to quit my job ASAP but I’m having a hard time finding work. I requested time off maybe like a month ago to go to Hawaii for a week and a half in late September. Now it sounds like I’m being told I can’t go and it’s “too much time off” while they allowed an employee to have nearly 2 months off for vacay. They have over a month to figure out coverage. It’s not like I can go anytime, only like maybe ONCE a year. So ridiculous.

 

Ive posted a similar thing before, but I have a friend who became a foster parent after we became good friends. The adjustment was tough for me even tho it's harder for her obv. But to go from hanging out all the time to her having multiple kids under 10 who faced some srs trauma and had some srs behaviors is like... a lot. I love them and don't mind hanging with them but idk. Sometimes I miss just being impulsive and deciding to go to a restaurant or a movie with her. Now she either has to arrange a babysitter or bring them, which isn't always easy.

I'm not gonna stop being her friend of course, but sometimes I feel guilty because she asks me to do things and I don't wanna if her kids are there. Because we barely even talk. She spends the entire time redirecting her kids and putting out fires cause they need constant attn and they're always interrupting and upset about something. Last time I didn't even get to sit by my friend cause she had us be the buffer between her kids so they wouldn't fight. Idk. I love kids. I have worked with populations of kids like that for years, which I think also makes it harder to be immersed in it in my downtime. Hanging out is more stressful than anything sometimes. I get frustrated and overwhelmed and it circles back to why I love kids but don't have any. I'm so glad she fosters and I feel like a jerk for even whining about it, but I guess I just wish we could hang out again like we used to and not have it be so stressful and kid-focused.

 

I work 12 hour shifts when I work weekends because my job can’t staff properly. I’m literally doing EVERYTHING non stop. Morning shift doesn’t do shit when I come in and they’re suppose to have things done but it never is. I’m going to have to talk to my mangager again about it among other things , but then nothing will really be done about it because the morning shift doesn’t care. So I have to pick up their slack, I have client showers I need to get done then I get stuck making lunch because the person I’m working with doesn’t do it unless I ask them to.

Then for my regular shift, “new” guy is slow at everything he does (he’s not a bad worker he’s just takes more time doing things than they should). So I’m running around doing everything because he doesn’t do it (again laundry, I’m the I’m the only one doing laundry). I’ll put a big pile on the couch or say hey we need to keep up on laundry and he’ll say he needs a break first, so I’m stuck doing it... but remember I’ve already been on my feet doing everything for 6 hours already and haven’t had a break. So frustrating. I’m also doing more showers and putting more people to bed and he feels the need to have more breaks when things need to get done

 

I CLEANED SHIT TODAY

SOME KID SHIT THEIR PANTS AND JUST LEFT THE PANTS FILLED WITH SHIT ON THE FLOOR

 

very annoyed that i spent literally hours researching and planning an entire itinerary for a trip i'm taking w friends and they keep asking me the same questions about event times, travel times, whatever like it's ALL IN THE MASTER PLAN WHICH I SENT YOU. i'm not your mom and i already did 97% of the legwork for this whole thing, would it kill them to read the information i put together?

 

Whenever I have to sit in a lecture hall or training or something with lots of strangers and there are open seats next to me but nobody sits by me I get all insecure like do I look unapproachable or smell weird or something?? Even though I tend to sit by empty chairs and not directly near strangers also lol. It's ok when I do it but a huge personal attack when others do it obviously!!

 

This is a good thing imo

 

I dont actually want anyone to talk to me most times but that is besides the point! Like I dont want you to sit next to me but I also dont want you to not sit next to me because then I feel like there is something wrong with me lol. And even tho I'm an introvert and have accepted that I always will be, I am still highkey bitter about people who are so effortless with socializing and being a competent human. It's especially awkward and horrible when nobody sits next to you and the lecturer is like time to get into groups or partners!! And u have to be the loner that attaches to a group cause u got nobody lol

 

I know this feeling! I remember back when I was in school and had to take lab classes, I'd like to be one of the first in the class because I'm super picky on where I like to sit in the lab room, but then when people entered I felt like they were trying to avoid sitting next to me until there was no where else to sit. People would go sit next to others and avoid me, and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me :/

 

I also just want to say that after I posted that comment above I was like oh well at least the group thing wont happen today, I mean I'm not in college anymore. AND THEN IT HAPPENED. But luckily they had us numbered off which is always 100% better for me cause then I dont have to deal with awkward loner asking to join a group of established friends

 

I've vented about this a zillion times but dont know where else to vent cause I feel like a jerk. My great friend with foster kids. Hanging out with her is so stressful. The kids are high needs and literally cannot be quiet so already my frustration is heightened. They argue every other minute and my friend has to intervene and lecture and it turns into these blowouts all day. Often I end up getting involved because she ends up dealing with one kid and I have to look after the other two. Today we were supposed to stop at her house for a minute tops, but I had to sit with her 2 kids while she lectured her other in their room for like an hour. I am getting a cold and it was getting late and I work tomorrow and I just wanted to go home and take nyquil, all of which she knew, but she was my ride. She didnt ask if that was ok to keep me with her kids alone or delay getting me home or give me a heads up about it.

I feel bad because she does it every day as a single mom and I do it like once in a while and whine. But I'm also not a parent, dont want to be a parent, and didnt sign up to be a caregiver. I feel like she doesnt have a huge support system anymore because handling the kids is so difficult, so I dont want to abandon her or anything. I think what she does is amazing and I feel guilty for missing when she wasn't a mom. I just miss hanging out and it being easy. I'm not a parent because I get stressed and overwhelmed and irritated. I deal with high risk children and adults with my job and dont wanna do it on my off time. I like lowkey and chill and quiet and a bunch of high risk kids is the opposite of that. But I dont wanna be like hey not gonna hang out cause I dont wanna deal with ur kids. So idk.
