The Vent Thread

[Watchtower]

My ex just made me SUPER pissed! Seriously, why did I even help him?

I had just sent him that paper he tricked me into helping him with and not two hours later, he calls me back super pissed because he'll have to do all his exams in one day next year!? He's talking to the one person who did the impossible in my two years of college and still got better grades than he would have ever gotten!

He's pissed about doing all the exams in one day!? If only he knew half the stuff I've dealt with...

Let's see...

All-nighters, lazy teachers, cleaning inspections, bad roommates, being severely ill, being bullied, over-working myself, more classes and work study than anyone else so I could have money to stay that last semester, LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE WITH NO ONE TO EVEN HELP ME!!!

That's not even one-fourth of the hell I've been through! So, if he thinks doing all his exams in one day is the worst thing ever, he wouldn't live through what I've lived through.

Trust me, you don't want him to come too soon.

I hate nights like this when I get ready for bed then lie awake getting angrier and angrier. Someone who I tried to help who did about $5000.00 financial damage to my life keeps promising to pay me back. All he officially owes me is $2045.00. He wants me to collect a payment from him Thursday after he gets paid and before he can spend it. So my sleepless night shouldn't be now. It should be tomorrow! But no. I finally asked the guy how much he thinks he owes me and he says, "I think almost $600.00 ... remember ... you said I didn't owe you so much cause the transmission on the RV went bad?" I said, "NO! Remember that I had a $3000.00 cash offer fro the RV as is and I was only going to let you sleep in it until you got money for a place to live but you INSISTED that I sell it to you for $2000.00 and trust you to pay me THEN went joy riding in the RV drunk which is how the transmission got wrecked ... which you insisted you were a master mechanic and would fix ... and that doesn't include the broken headlights and wrecked hood and fender on my van when you insisted I push the RV with the van to keep ME from getting arrested because the RV was still in my name eveb though you were the drunk unlicensed driver .... and it was your bright idea to sell it for scrap when the generator alone would have sold for $650.00 and the roof air conditioner for $300.00 ... and the $129.00 aluminum ladder ... you sold that for $5.00." Did not, it was stolen. Whoever told you I sold it is a liar." "One of the times you were drunk on money you borrowed from me that you said you needed to feed your daughter ... YOU told me that you got cheated on the ladder by the scrap yard ... only getting $5.00 for it." "Oh. Maybe I did. I was really messed up back then but I'm okay now. Hey, I want to move where I'm living from now so give me the keys to one of your houses in Canton and I'll move in and fix it up for you for free and pay you all the rent money up front. Section 8 will pay for it." "Section 8 will only give you a one bedroom voucher. That house is 3 bedroom." "Well I got plenty of money to give you for rent." "Then pay me for the RV." "You know I don't have any money!" Yeah. I know. Just be honest and tell me you'll never pay me back and I'll be honest and tell you that I'm posting the video about you being a cross dresser on "The Evicted" site I go to.



"Dave, you're too decent a person to do something like that. You know it was only a scam I pulled on them for the money. I don't cross dress!" "Back before you had me to scam?" "Dave, I've always been honest with you. You know I'll pay you back!" "I can't pay bills with promises." "I know some prostitutes I can hook you up with. They'll do you for me." "No thanks! Especially if they end up looking like you in a wig!"

Then it goes on from there thinking about one of my empty houses that the tenant tore up knowing he was going to by the place ... then left his wife and children and they let me believe that the money for the rent was coming ... but, when 3 months behind left the house full of their trash and moved God knows where ... and I finally knew at that point that there would be no point wasting my time and money even going to court over it. And Allison Mack is talking about not doing things the messed up way us older folks did things and creating a utopia. Well, Honey, when courts don't even try to enforce legal contracts and people aren't bound by their promise there are certainly not enough ethics floating around for a loving, trusting world to suddenly bloom here. The best hope is to build a new and stronger penitentiary and round up the decent people and move them into it and wait until the people left outside devour themselves with their dog eat dog thinking -- imagining that greed will get them what they want instead of getting what they want taken from them by someone more willing to do anything to get what they want.

Hope that makes some kind of sense because I'm certainly not going to read it!

David, you should post on this thread more often.

You certainly followed through on your plan.

Now onto my vent...

I finally got my laundry done and folded and have yet to take them all upstairs. Yet, i can't go to bed until i figure out where i'm going to put the clothes that are there now. I hate spring cleaning.

[avp60685]

Darn salad dressing bottle, you had to squirt everywhere didn't you? Sheesh, that was sickening I hated having to clean it up! What a mess!

[KyleEl]

Black cherry sparkling water from my grocery store sprays everywhere when I open it. I try and try to do it slowly and it doesn't help.

I've tried other flavors and they don't do that but they dont taste good.

[avp60685]

Oh wow, next time try to open it in the sink so it won't spray everywhere!

[Watchtower]

I am so under-appreciated. Everyone in my family thinks I don't know what hard work is... I may not be doing hard work now, but I do know what it is and what it feels like! They think that I don't know hard work because of my disability. That's both on my mom's and dad's side. They obviously don't know what I had to put up with. Hell, I even just told them and they laughed!

[KyleEl]

ProBoards, unlike another site I go to, and The CW, lets everyone know when you've made the slightest typo, no matter how quickly you fix it.

Did you do a primal roar of frustration? I find it helpful at times when I need to smile blissfully after tripping over shoe #1745 in the ever growing pile in my hall entrance.

To think only 3 of those pairs are mine...

[avp60685]

OMG! Why the hell is he calling me again? I thought I had gotten rid of the monster!

For some people, even getting up out of bed takes unbelievable will power. Some people who can't empathize unless they experience it for themselves. I think there is a normal rule of the universe that if you laugh at someone for their hardships, the same kind of issues will happen to you. Sounds like your family are setting themselves up BIG TIME!

My step son used to always say that the only purpose for parents' lives are to serve their children. He also thought that since brain cells start dieing when we are born and are never replaced (?) that the children are necessarily smarter than the parents ... so the children should make all the decisions in the house. That was when he was ages 12 thru 17. Now he is a step father himself and he is down right abusively in control of his step son. And he doesn't see it -- that his ideas have changed. All he knows is that, by definition, he is always right and others are always idiots. I just watch and wait, but I don't think he'll ever get it.

[davidhayes1956]

I hate being so angry.

[avp60685]

I hate that I can't find anything! Grrrrrr and I hate that I pay money to order new birth certificates!

No but i should have.

Btw, i ended up w/3 garbage bag fulls of unwanted clothes which i then gave to a co-worker this morning. I still have another bag to give away.
And i have yet to put away all of my clean clothes that i decided to keep and buy new socks as i can no longer get women's or men's crew socks at Wal-Mart.

[avp60685]

I know my mom is downsizing her many bags of clothes and I am also getting rid of a few things that I can't fit, I had a cute plaid jumper that I planned to wear on Christmas and it was too small for me and so I am getting rid of that plus a few other items

[davidhayes1956]

MAN! I had absolutely no income for 2 years while waiting for my disability claim to be decided. I was told that a person can work part time after disability without losing their benefits. I asked how it made sense that you can't work at all until but can after? I thought the government should encourage people to work as much as they are able. I was told that if I worked at all my claim would be instantly discarded. So, I have this guy that gave me his hardship story and offered to let him stay in my RV rather than sleep on the streets in winter. He insisted that he would buy it when he got his lump sum from disability. He scrapped the RV for pennies on the dollar of what it was worth and didn't give me a dime. He sold some stuff he borrowed from me and (I just found out) put some stuff he borrowed in storage and told me it had been stolen. So, he complained about how many hours he was working and how much he had to give to his wife and daughter. I asked him how he could be working and still have his disability in process. He just smiled and put a finger to his lips. So today he had me find him because he was getting his check today and would give me a payment if I took him to the bank. I found him and he told me to come back later. I said I needed to know how much he planned to give me. He said his check was for only $800.00 so he would be able to give me $40.00. This is after avoiding me for 10 months. I told him that when I only had $20.00, I loaned him $20.00 and when I had nothing, I took what food I had in my house and gave it to him so he could feed his daughter (He ate it himself and said it was delicious). He said, "Man, don't get all angry with me. I told you what I can do and that's all I can do. I won't discuss it at all." There were people that lived in the building in another apartment sitting there and I asked them if they knew the kind of man that was living in the same building with them. The woman yelled at me saying to get off the property that she didn't want to hear anything. As I got in my car I said, "I'm just warning you for your own sake." The woman yelled "GET OUT OF HERE!" I did. I was so fed up. I know I'm not getting a dime, so I decided that he shouldn't get any either. I reported to social security that he was working while his disability claim was in process. The response? People who have a claim in process can work but they can't earn a significant, gainful amount by their work activities. WHAT! I helped people for two years and some wanted to pay and I was hungry but refused because of what I had been told about having any kind of income while filing for disability. 75% of all Americans are probably not GAINFULLY employed and can't find GAINFUL work for their current skills. That makes them disabled by the social security administration's standards. By GAINFUL, look at how in debt you are at the end of a year of no frills living as opposed to when the year started. Did working all year put you financially ahead of here you were the previous year. In most cases these day, it did not.

After many hours of researching this statement, I've come to the conclusion: You have too many clothes!


If you were stranded on a deserted island, which 4 things would you bring?

Correction:
I had too many clothes.
But why exactly were you researching this for hours? Why not just ask instead?

Most likely, just the basics.

[Kimba116]

New rant:

It is way too hot to sleep upstairs. I hate when it's this hot!

[Lostcause]

Why ask when I can spend hours brooding and contemplating!?

I'm a dude!

[avp60685]

Why the hell are these darn telemarketers calling my cellphone? I didn't even given them my freaking number! I swear if it happens again I am going to research online to find out if there is away to block them from my phone forever!

[Watchtower]

There is... call your phone company.

My uncle seriously needs to get off his lazy ass and go to the store! I can kinda understand why my dad didn't go... actually, not really, as I've had to work all day and go to the store and I had lots of homework (that was at college). He says he'll go later... what's wrong with now!? He feels like he needs to take care of grandmother... like he was any help before... Plus, I'm more than capable of taking care of grandmother. He feels like he doesn't need to at the moment... my grandmother is sick of trying to make my uncle do anything, she's getting up there, she doesn't want to have to deal with making uncle do something... but uncle doesn't listen to me, obviously.

The only good side to this, my dad is working... FINALLY!

Now Uncle, GET YOUR LAZY ASS TO THE STORE NOW AND DON'T YOU DARE BUY ANYTHING ELSE WE DO NOT NEED!!!

[avp60685]

OMG, that stupid bus driver made me so mad yesterday, why did the hell did you give me that funny look and keep on driving? Sheesh!

I have to buy all my socks at this one department store in the mountains. I was told those are no longer made, and all of the other brands I find comfortable have definitely been discontinued. But every year when I go to the mountains, they still have the socks and I buy them.

The college students are taking exams now. But Wednesday night they decided to party first. Now I couldn't hear them, but I couldn't sleep because of my allergy which I try to avoid taking medication for so I won't feel so lousy the next day. But around 2 they were walking past my house returning to campus. One girl was crying and said her F phone was at his GD house. I don't know if this was the same girl, but the next day I found a driver's license in my front yard. I was going to the library and figured they knew how to contact her. While I was there she came and got it and thanked me, and told the man at the checkout desk how her credit card was missing too.

I don't put clothes on my bed any more for just that reason. I load up the love seat. And at 4 in the morning when I couldn't sleep, I thought sitting on the love seat would help. Somehow lying down was aggravating my allergy and keeping me from sleeping, but at least getting out of bed helped. And for the second day in a row I'm walking around in a fog. I shouldn't feel like the college students do.

Yeah, there's a little thing called remembering. I just open it. I discovered this a little over a year ago but because the sweetener was not the kind that actually tastes good I went back to Fruit2O. But that has a plastic wrapper and twice as many bottles.

I also have too many clothes. But I can't resist! As long as it's not a designer and it's the right material, I just have to buy golf shirts with horizontal stripes at JCPenney. Especially if it's the same design in different colors.

[avp60685]

I get my mom's white polo shirts from a company that sells men's white polo shirts for about 3.60 a piece and we typically order ten at a time so she can have plenty on hand
