What pissed you off today? v.2

[hobo73]

One of my nephews had court this morning for an outburst/throwing things in school last year. His mom was told "Oh, you have 300 extra dollars income every month. Get a lawyer and pay for it."

Uh......that 300 bucks goes towards her young son's diapers, clothes, and since they make just enough to not qualify for food stamps, it's not like she's swimming in extra money.

 

The part that pissed me off upon hearing it? My nephew is saying he is guilty, he's not even trying to fight it. Why need a lawyer when he's saying "Yeah, it was me"?!

Just want more money, I guess. That's just stupid to me.

 

And when they asked her when she thinks she'd have a lawyer ready, she said she had no idea because she had no way to even pay for it.

Their response? "We'll put you down for two weeks. In two weeks come in with your lawyer."

Idiots.

GAAA!! I should go back to the bad neighbor thread. I would like to install a 9 ft. *&^% you fence around my house and tell the world to get lost...I can probably accomplish that with bushes - like joe pye weed - can grow to I believe, 12 feet. yeah!

[drbirdsong]

I just got a bill in mail for $1,200 for f***ing lab work!!!!!!!!!!!! I came very close to wrapping it around a brick and throwing it back through their window. My red blood count is low and I need an iron supplement. Yeah, that's worth $1,200.

[hobo73]

Alright. ALRIGHT. I AM PISSED at the moment. Wow. Wow wow wow.

Perfect thread, right?? And this is for vents, so here goes. If you all ignore it, that's cool. Go ahead lol.

 

Slight back story- my brother and I have always been best friends. He NEVER blows me off when we have a meet-up planned, especially when Lucy comes along.

2 weeks ago Lucy and I went to Justin's place to hangout and he said he'd order pizza for us for lunch. well, since my husband jeff works at pizza hut, jeff said just call him and he'll get us a sweet discount. Ok, awesome.

Right as I'm about to head out the door to catch the bus, Justin calls and says his girlfriend "forgot" our pizza money was in her wallet- why his money was in her wallet, considering how she is, I'll never understand- and left with it and got all smug when she texted him about it. ("Oh, look who has your money!")

Justin asked if there was any way jeff could swing the pizza JUST THIS ONE, and he would pay me back that weekend, absolute promise.

 

well, Jeff said ok and did it.

That was 2 weeks ago. My husband used his own pocket money to buy us lunch and went out of his way to help Justin out.

That weekend he gave some lame excuse and called off our planned meetup so he could give me the money. Ok, no biggie.

The next weekend, even though he had money to go to the movies and buy snacks and stuff with his girlfriend, he couldnt make it.

The NEXT planned meeting. He went garage sale-ing with his girlfriend and bought a huge desk. But another excuse, couldnt see me.

 

The next week. Surprise drug tests for work that ran from 4 PM until 9 PM (mhmm, ok) and today he texted me just like "I just missed the bus.....sorrryyyyyyyy........."

 

-___-

 

I asked if he could wait for the next bus. He said "But the bus going home comes around in 5 minutes....I'd have to wait a whole 35 minutes for your bus..." OH DARN. 35 minutes. Pfft.

 

I have no doubt his stupid girlfriend is behind this. I HATE THAT B*TCH, and I let her know it, thank you very much. (I have my reasons- you talk crap about MY child, and I will always hate you. Period.)

The day we originally went to Justin's, she sped up to the bus stop as we were leaving and got all pissy with him. I turned my back to her and refused to let Lucy near her.

All DAY that day, she was demanding I accept a ride home from her with NO CARSEAT. Uh, no.

 

I hate that my brother is whipped by every damn girlfriend he has. I hate that she is SUCH A B*TCH, and no doubt is not "letting" him meetup with me (she has done it before and admitted it to me).

Most of all, I hate that my husband is (rightfully so) pissed OFF now because he was used to get free pizza by someone we both trusted immensely. He went into his OWN wallet and did my brother a favour. He delivered to us on the clock when he was at WORK. (his boss was super cool with it, but still.)

 

I am pissed because apparently, lame-ass excuses are "good enough" for me.

I am pissed because, before Justin met "her", he NEVER acted this way towards me. Never.

I am pissed because sometimes people think it's ok to not pay others back.

 

SO now he "promise, promise, PROMISES" this thursday will work. we'll see.

Ugh, where to start?

My stupid company put electronic logs in the truck, so now we have to actually take 10 hours of downtime. IDK WTF one is supposed to do for 10 hours, but when I woke up I walked 4 miles, showered and ate breakfast, like a dumbass rookie driver who thinks this career is a vacation. I don't start driving until 10:45am. 2 1/2 hrs later, 15 minutes from my delivery, I'm stuck in traffic, because a camper broke down in a work zone. Then, I get to the customer and they take 2 hours to unload...no pay. Then, I hustle over here to pickup my cookies and they haven't even started loading the trailer yet. That was at 5pm. So, I've been sitting here, for free,.for 5 hours now. I promised my first customer that I would be there at 6 am. To hell with Ice Road Truckers, put this real life scenario on TV. Now, I'm probably going to get wrote up because, LEGALLY, I can't drive anymore, even though I haven't made $75 today.

Goddamn stupid motherf.ucking colitis. Bad flare. New doctor because of new insurance, and he wouldn't give me the sulfasalazine that I know from past experience actually works! No, not until I see the GI specialist (have a new one of those too - it's a Kaiser HMO and at least it pays for everything pretty much and it doesn't take 20 years to get appointments - I have one tomorrow morning). He told me to take Pepto Bismol. Excuse me? Things are bloody and messy and damn near uncontrollable, and I'm barely eating so that I can avoid the problems THAT creates, and you tell me to take Pepto-f***ing-Bismol?

 

So I took a few Imodium AD, which is something I am not supposed to take when I am having a flare. But fuckit; either that or risk shitting myself at work, and that was very much not going to happen. It seems to be doing the trick for now; I've eaten a bit of chicken and a protein bar without mishap and got a good workout in (which I needed to blow off some steam).

 

I am not leaving that office tomorrow without a bottle of sulfa in hand. Even if I have to drop my pants and shit buckets right there in the lobby to get my point across.

 

Ironically this flare is probably related to my giving up cigarettes. Smokers are much less likely to get colitis than non-smokers, and ex-smokers are quite the target, it seems. Some treatments actually involve nicotine therapy, though not via smoking (don't think it hasn't crossed my mind lately). Stupid body - I finally quit poisoning it after 25 years and this is how it rewards me.

Okay, first some background info: Been taking my 87 year old live-in mom in law

to daily radiation treatments since June 23rd as she was diagnosed with

Stage 3 lung cancer. (She's been living with us now for 22+ years since her

horrible car accident which left her severely handicapped and disabled. Guess

who has been taking care of her ever since! Lucky ME! -not really!)

 

Anyway, For the past two nights, she's told me, "I don't want go to the treatments anymore!".

Really?? First she wanted to go as she didn't want to die, now she wants to stop so the cancer

will spread and certainly kill her! I'm like...whatever!!! Good riddins!! I'm so sick and tired of

dealing with her BS! No more Joan taxi cab nor daily 2 hr work disruptions!

Yes, I'd like to enjoy at least part of the rest of my life, thank you!

Ugghhh!! WTF!!!!

I'd write up a complaint about my day but you guys make me feel like I live in Heaven.

Thank you - I am MUCH better today. I really like the GI specialist I saw yesterday morning. Of course he wants to "take a look" (ugh, I am so not looking forward to that, scheduled for next week), but he told me that Imodium is fine as needed and also gave me an anti-inflammatory. Once results are back we'll decide on a new medication protocol.

I'm guessing you're referring to a colonoscopy? I had one about five years ago and it wasn't as horrific as I thought it would be. The anxiety I experienced beforehand, not to mention the effects of the laxatives I had to take the day before, were far worse than the procedure itself.

 

The drugs should kick in shortly after they have you embarrassingly positioned on the table, and with any luck you won't be fully lucid again until you're in the recovery area. A little Versed and Demerol can work wonders!

 

Best of luck. :)

[hobo73]

HATE my brothers girlfriend. are you kidding me. really????

 

she had to drive him over to meet up with me real quick- and they got into a huge fight. (No doubt because she had to drive him to meet his "b*tch of a sister".)

He pulled his groin big time at work today and can barely walk.

THIS chick kicked my brother out of her car, sped off to her moms house and MADE HIM WALK HOME.

 

omg you guys. omg. I hate her. She better NEVER come around me and my family ever again. I will use words, but they will not be pretty. I can promise you that.

 

im sorry- i just....yeah I'm furious. my brother took time off work when she was super sick and throwing up and make her soup and just take care of her. And she does this???

I asked him straight up, WHY do you accept her shit? You don't deserve that. Eff her.

He said he's pretty sure they just broke up, and I said good. Screw her.

 

Again, sorry. UGH!!!!!!!!!

[Cygnus 2112]

Yay for them being broken up. She sounds like a royal bitch.

[hobo73]

Right?? lol. I'm much more calm at the moment. Still furious that she treats him that way. My brother is a good man and deserves so much more than....her.

She told me before CPS should take my daughter away, and with me as her mother, Lucy "never had a chance to grow into a halfway decent person". So yes. Once anyone talks about my (at the time TWO YEAR OLD) daughter that way, I despise them. There is no forgiving a comment like that. You don't talk about anyone's children. PERIOD.

 

Jeff said it best last night- "your brother, unfortunately, dates girls who, you know....are like your mother." *shudder* It's true. Gross. He keeps saying "But I don't wanna hurt her, you know?"

Well, she has no problems treating him like the gum stuck on the bottom of her shoe. She doesn't deserve respect, as far as I'm concerned. I told him as much. He has more patience than I do!! LOL.

 

She's also the same woman who told me to sell my "single crappy box of belongings and buy a BIBLE." -__-

Also told me to ":enjoy your Ramen noodles, you poor a** b*tch!!" lovely. And she wonders why I can't stand her. Really?

It could have been worse.

 

A friend has a funny story about his daughter, then 10, and son, 8 at the time. It was a Friday night, and the family had watched a movie together until bedtime. The kids begged and pleaded to be allowed to bring out their sleeping bags and "camp out" in the den. Sure, says Dad. He helped the kids get their "campground" set up and headed off to bed with his wife.

 

Around 2:30 in the morning he was awakened by his daughter yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! Stupid Andrew's going to the bathroom in the refrigerator!" Poor sleepy Dad followed his daughter into the kitchen and sure enough, bathed in the dim incandescent refrigerator light, stood Andrew, calmly relieving himself into the crisper drawer.

THE SAME GROUP OF LIKE 5 KIDS KEEP RUNNING THROUGH OUR YARD Nonstop, just tearing up our grass. WE do all the yard work. WE keep it tidy. THEY mess it up.

I have told them countless times not to do it. Today I threatened to call the cops. THEY KEEP DOING IT. My husband is literally in the yard now, waiting for another group of kids to run through.

The boy who always seems to "lead" the others through the yards is the son of the park manager. I don't give a f*ck WHO his dad is. Enough of that shit.
