What Made You Angry Today?

Just found out that my young son deleted my person on my other laptop, so now all the genealogy work I've done, all the pictures I had on it, are gone. I let him use that laptop because it was better for his gaming, but it started out being mine. He said he thought I said that that was okay. I can't imagine I would have said to delete the pictures and genealogy. Poof, gone. I handled it calmly, no yelling, and he apologized. Inside I really feel like crying.
 
Cry ((((Britt)))), there was alot of work put into that and it is something very personal and sentimental. So yes, cry, I can lend you my shoulder to cry on.
Birdie shoulder to lean on.webp
 
People with dogs that bark at others give all dog owners a bad name.
Where I live, my obvious fear at being barked at is met with an owner saying "Ah don't worry he'll no bite ye". Which does nothing to help the feeling that if that dog wasn't on a lead it'd go straight for my jugular. The ones with no lead I avoid at all costs. I am all for people having dogs, but you are right to be angry KP, dog owners should train their pets better so they don't bark at fraidy cats like me. And keep the crazy big ones on a lead when I'm around.
 
Today (in the small hours of the morning), I got angry again for a similar reason, and it will sound very much like my last rant, as it involves a doctor again. This time a doctor was listening to my heart through a stethoscope, and asked me if I ever feel anxious or stressed, and I replied "Yes, I suffer from PTSD", to which his reply was "Why do you have that then?". Is that really an appropriate question? (Please no one take offence to what I am about to say, it's just to highlight a point) Would he have liked it if I had said "I was raped" or "I saw my friend get killed in Iraq"? If I had said either of these things, would he have continued to ask me probing and downright nosey questions? I replied "My friend was murdered". I assume that is really enough information to give a doctor I have never met before, without then talking all about childhood and a million other things at a simple check up appointment, but no, he then asked me a few questions more about my friend's death. I won't bore you with the details. People are just too fascinated by murder, it makes me feel so ill. Why couldn't he just read over my medical records when I left the room. Total git.

I am angry today because of a clear lack of sensitivity which some human beings posess. I am angry today because no matter how much I prepare myself for people talking about my friend's murder or asking me about PTSD, I always crumble - I always forget to stick up for myself. I am really angry at everyone, especially stupid doctors just now, but above all, I am so mad at myself for never just saying "It's none of your business". I would never ask someone details about someone they knew who was murdered. That is just wrong. Have a little empathy please world! You are driving me mad!
 
I just answer ... do you really need to know ???!!!??? ... if it has nothing to do with the problem I'm seeing the doctor. The last one that asked me that was my oncologist and just by the look on my face made him realized that was not a road I wanted to go down while we were dealing with cancer.
