What Makes You Angry Today?

[LocaButt]

Common courtesy doesn't exist anymore. I get sideways looks for holding a door open for someone. Maybe it's because I'm a chic, idfk. It's just a nice thing to do though. I agree with what someone said, above, people are so quick to take offense these days, it's pointless to even try to reason with anyone. I, often, see the present state of things as the movie "Idiocracy", if any of you have seen it. It's really a stupid movie but the main idea is basically true. Folks are getting dumber by the day.

This topic caught my eye because I am pissed a good percentage of the time. I don't think it is so much anger, than it is frustration. I have zero patience, especially for dumb stuff/people. I am frustrated about the things in the world that I am absolutely powerless against. It eats me up. It just gets projected as anger, I think. Anxiety is my nemesis. That bitch keeps me awake all night long until I'm exhausted enough for my brain to shut off. That doesn't make me happy.

Such is life.

So here's something that makes me angry today... So I was suppose to deploy to McDill AFB and strange enough I had to take a CBRNE class before I deployed. I got pulled from my deployment since I'm on Zoloft and my shirt told me to not worry about anything and that they would take care of things. I have had this same shirt in the past and she is the best shirt I have ever had and really does take care of her people. So the unit deployment manager sent me an e-mail reminding me that I have this CBRNE class. I responded to them telling them that my deployment got canceled and they said that they have to still press with my deployment processing until they get a deployment something verification code saying that I can't deploy. So I did all the foot work following up making sure I get canceled for this class. I did all that about a week ago. The class was today. Asked the unit deployment manager about being canceled for the class because I didn't want to get a no show and the unit deployment manager just passes my e-mail off to the shirt... So stupid all that the unit deployment manager had to do is pull me from the class and make sure everything gets sorted out later... If I get a no show letter for not going to this class I'm going to go ape shit on somebody.

Idiocracy is my favorite movie. Runner up is "Let's go to Prison" as stupid as it is. Running joke in Iraq (If you've seen it) was we'd call our alcohol "baby duck" in honor of the movie and I created a drink called the "EOF" It's 100 proof captain and Rip It's mixed and served with a chem light.

f*ck open my door and I've got the next one or at least a thank you.

The thing that pisses me off this morning is stupid drivers that loose their mind when something is different... So driving to work they are doing some construction on base and they are re doing the road so they closed one side of the road and have the two lanes on the other side be single lane instead of the normal two lanes. But nobody can figure out whats going on and they go slower than walking pace. They have caution cones out that mark out the new traffic pattern what is so f*cking hard about realizing that they are doing construction and to follow the path of the cones. people can't drive for shit and it drives me nuts.

I was pissed off at some parent lofl. Just couldn't take his 'oh no tears' bs to his sons. It's bollocks, body reactions to pain are body reactions to pain, teaching wees to ignore what their body is telling them and to suppress them is doing the opposite of being mindful, and I really don't know about 'manly' or whatever that was.

Shit this isn't a 'in my childhood' and it isn't a 'missing fosters' or anything forum. /lays down

today has been the worst day of 2014. why does all the bullshit come at once.

People are always telling me oooo if you need to talk you can talk to me anytime blah f*cking blah.

When in reality, when your having a shit time nobody WANTS to ask. Such as today when i was walking around my parents house pacing, then sat in silence for an hour, silence in the car on the way to the hospital, silence all the way back. but all i got as i was storming out the door to go home was "are you pissed off with me?"

No I wasnt, but i f*cking am now. The fact they could detect something was up and only decided to ask about it as I was leaving, and even then it wasnt a "whats wrong?" or "how are you feeling? " it was purely about wether they had done something to piss me off.

people only say theyre gona be there to make themselves feel better. When it comes down to it and im going through some shit, you just see how superficial they all are.

 

[Alex1991]

just needed to pound my keyboard about that somewhere, i never post this shit on facebook an stuff like that coz im not looking for attention, im just venting

Go on Alex, get it off your chest. This is the place for it.

Devil's advocate here, they might not notice or be afraid to say something.
Would you be able to say next time: Listen, I feel the need to talk and you said you'd be there for me.

Open visor, ask for it and see how they react. You never know cos another day like this sounds utter ****

 

[holdenmonty]

It's sad but true Alex. It hurts the most when somebody you care about says they are there to talk if you need to and when you want or try to talk they don't even want to bother.

When I got back from my deployment I was told that it was best to talk about your deployment and get things off your chest but whenever I wanted to talk to a friend that said that I could talk to them if I needed to but when I started talking all of a sudden they weren't available to talk or in the worst case told me that they didn't want to hear about my deployment.

I'm so thankful for this forum because I'm able to share what I feel comfortable with sharing and I don't feel any kind of judgment about what I say or how I'm feeling, because we all have combat related PTSD and we all can pretty well relate to each other.

Pound away on here Alex, it's a good place to vent.

What pisses me off today is my f*cking stupid as piece of shit supervisor... So I have found 86% of everything on the inventory which I'm excited about since it has been tough to get past the overwhelming feeling of doing the inventory and have told my supervisor that... The only response is so now it's going to be two weeks past the suspense I gave you which it has only really been one week and my f*cking supervisor asked me when I would have it completed and working on the records management program... Which is another mountain because it is a program that should be constantly maintained but nothing has been done with it since 2009... I feel like I'm 86% up one huge mountain and all my supervisor says is when are you going to make it to the top and when you get to the top make sure to climb that mountain as well. I'm doing deep breathing exercises as I'm typing this to keep the beast from going over to her desk and ripping her head off... so to speak.
