What Makes You Angry Today?

[Aprooster74]

I feel like those of us that have served take respect for elders/superiors/ rules pretty seriously. Seeing people that just have blatant disregard for others and common sense sets off all sorts of alarms. Personally, it makes me constantly want to walk up to people and "correct" them. Though I know its not my job or place I can't help but be angry at these idiots.

This is in my top 3 of 'what makes me angry!'

I have learned to assess the situation before I react (if I react). However, I will admit that when a young person steps up in front of an Elder (Veteran or Not) I cannot stop myself from saying something. The reason that popped in my mind is because a comment was made within earshot to the affect of "move old man." I just could not step aside.

Ok so here's what pisses me off today. So my family and I went and visited my wife's family in New Hampshire and then my parents in Pennsylvania and since we flew we didn't have any kind of personal transportation of our own so my parents drove up to New Hampshire and picked us up. They spent one night and my brother in law let them borrow an air mattress for that one night when my sister in law and grandmother in law had been sleeping on it for a couple weeks before my parents even used it and they used it on the night of the 30th of November into the 1st of December. Now my sister in law is blaming my parents for there being a hole in the air mattress and expects my wife and I to replace it. My sister in law is lucky that she talked to my wife instead of me because I would have ripped her head off and shit down her throat.

So with that story here is what pisses me off about the situation. Her sister in law who happens to be my wifes younger sister and my wifes grandmother had been sleeping on it for a couple weeks before my parents even used it for just one night, and if it is a small leak you can sleep on it one night and not really notice but I said something about it being not as inflated the in the morning as it was before they went to bed. Plus how the f*ck could my parents put a hole in her air mattress. Also she has three boys that I had to tell several times to stop jumping on it when it was inflated at their house on Thanksgiving. And last of all the fact that she automatically tries to blame my parents instead of trying to find out where the hole is to even attempt to find out how it got the hole in it or even to patch it but noooo she thinks we have to buy her a whole new air mattress. In my opinion she can take that air mattress and shove it up her ass.

That damn glue they use to attach the electrodes for a sleep study. That stuff doesn't seem to come off.

 

[Friday]

Try vodka. Also good for external application :D. Just remember to apply it externally as well. Or hand sanitizer if you don't drink.

If it's still stuck like a sonnuvabitch, any cooking oil (or baby oil, Vaseline, etc.) will do the trick.

I prefer to start with alcohol. To aid with my temper. Well at least if this doesn't work I won't be so pissed off about getting this slimy shit in my hair. The order is immaterial. If it's not h2o soluble, it'll dissolve in either alcohol or oil.

Be prepared to explain yourself, though, if anyone sees you march into the bathroom with a bottle of vodka & container o' Vaseline. Especially if you're banging around and swearing, or thrilled "Aha! Finally! Oh... thank god." after you go in. I had housemates. Nuff said.

... Did u manage to sleep for the study?

@Friday, I did manage to sleep for the study. Woke up more than normal, but the night went fairly quickly. My wife was amazed that I got any sleep, just told her after sleeping in battle rattle I can sleep almost anywhere. The problem is the sleep is not good.

Thanks for the advice on the Vodka, and I will make sure to warn everyone about its application. What a great visual you presented!:D

So here is what pisses me off today... So these guys were suppose to come today to switch out some computers with a "better" system of computers at 0830 and it is now 0851 and not even a phone call to say that they were running late or anything. I have no idea where the hell they are. I talked to them last week and scheduled for them to come at 0830. I wouldn't be all that frustrated but I work in a secured area where I have to announce them and everybody basically has to stop working while they are here. I warned everybody ahead of time that they were going to get here at 0830 so I could prepare them to be interrupted but now that they are over 20 minutes late it's rather frustrating. And I have had a toothache for the last couple days and I could have scheduled a dental appointment for 0830 to get it checked out but I said no because I thought the ass clowns would be here at 0830 so I scheduled it for 1300 but the pain going back and forth between a 7 and an 8 and I really wish I would have taken the 0830 appointment instead of waiting until 1300 all because of these ass clowns.

So here is what pisses me off today well technically it was yesterday but anyway. So my wife packs up a bunch of toys that the boys haven't played with in a long time to donate to the local charity that is having a toy drive to help parents be able to give toys to their kids that they can't afford to buy toys for their kids for Christmas. But my wife also told a neighborhood friend and our neighborhood friend had enough for a car load herself but my wife said that she would make it fit, and my wife puts this metal dump truck behind my three year olds head and it isn't even close to stable so I took it down and held it in my lap so it wouldn't fall and hit our three year old in the head. I voiced my frustration with where she put it and she then said tell me how you really feel. So I let her have it and told her exactly what I wanted to do. I said I wanted to throw it out of the car after you put it there and now I want to throw it out the window. Which she replied that she would be very angry at me if I did either of the two which I replied that I knew she would be very angry with me so that is why I have chosen not to do either of the two. I just feel like if you don't want to hear how I really feel then don't ask me the f*cking question. But maybe she's starting to realize how much of an impact ptsd has on my thoughts and how much I do to keep the beast locked up.

I feel like she's so hypocritical sometimes. When she gives me advice or more like constructive criticism I do my best to hear her out and learn from it but she told me that when I told her that I was pretty sure that all the extra stuff wouldn't fit especially when she was trying to fit a stroller on top of everything that me telling her that I was pretty sure that it wasn't going to fit made her want to prove me wrong and make it fit. I'm trying to think of a way that I can explain to her that I'm not trying to challenge her but to help her without pointing the finger at her and blaming her for this issue that is creating resentment in me towards her.

The arguments I have with myself. FFS. It should not take as much time as it does to convince myself not to rip someone's throat out.

 

[holdenmonty]

I'm with you there Friday. Sometimes I tell myself that the crazy people are the ones that don't talk to theirselves but now I'm thinking maybe it is the crazy people that talk to theirselves but I have to talk to myself just to appear "normal".

I feel sorry for my two boys and my wife when I eventually get into my 80's. I'm thinking I will either be in a nursing home or be like Clint Eastwood on the movie Grand Torino.

 

[Deleted member 43454]

Hahaha Sorry Holden laughing at the Clint Eastwood part...
I wonder if I too will end up in that manor.
With this rate I'll probably be in a nursing home.
But nursing homes by then better be giving me daily MMJ. ;)

Ha. I decided a long time ago, when it's time for a nursing home Imma gonna go on a Twilight Cruise. :D Tongue in cheek, but for real... Cruise ships you're waited on hand and foot, staff medical, 24-7 massage/food/entertainment, pretty little señoritas & cabin boys to flirt outrageously with, private rooms when you're not up laying out in the sun darkening the leather & where would the grand kids rather come visit??? The smelly boring old folks home, or a cruise ship with water slides & whatnot? Monthly costs are about the same. The only real difficulty will be escaping my family. Who tend to be of the notion that throwing carpet down in the garage, or putting a bed in the living room is the way to go with elderly relatives. Noooooooooo. Run. Away. Run away! You can't catch me! (Hobble shuffle hobble) You can't- Lemme go! Lemme go, lemme go, lemme go! I want my ice cold caipirinhas and pretty little -um- horizons to look at!

Course, the hilarious bit, is thinking Ill ever make it to be old to begin with. :roll eyes:
