What made you angry this week?What made you angry this week?

She ran over my foot and I ended up losing the toenail off my toe and ruining my new shoes. Plus, I lost my balance and fell and skinned my knee. PEOPLE!! I was so pissed off. She was like "I didn't see you". I said "Well, I was right there. What if I'd have been a kid or something?" Grr. Also, I've been having a slight flare up of tendonitis in my ankle (it comes and goes) and I'm upset that my husband seems to think that it's MY job (and only my job) to load the dishwasher. He can't bother to put his dishes in there on his own...he leaves them in the sink.
Ok, rant over. Anyone else have a situation that made them angry last week? I find getting my feelings out in the open helps me deal better. I don't get so bitter this way, lol."
spectrachic311 said: "Oh, fscott, that sucks. When I was on the singles scene, I always made sure that I didn't lead guys on. It doesn't help anyone...it's much better to just let your feelings be known so you can both move on."

I try to think of all the stuff my husband does, too and to put things in perspective. Sometimes it helps. It would help if I got a paycheck for all this stuff.[/QUOTE]
I hear ya on that one, Dbrew. My husband will come home and put his crap wherever he wants to and he doesn't bother putting his dishes in the dishwasher. And when I fold his laundry, he just throws it all over the place too. If I ever ask him to do anything in the house (ie, empty the aluminum can bin) I have to ask at least 3 times and usually I end up just doing it myself so it at least gets done. I guess I feel not too bad about doing it, since my husband does other stuff, but yeah...getting paid would be nice!!"
spectrachic311 said: "I WISH I had thought of it when it happened, but I didn't think about it until after I got home. I didn't get her info or anything. I think if I would have asked her right there for $50 for new shoes, she would've given it to me. She really didn't want me to call the cops!"
spectrachic311 said: "Whoa, Angel, that must have been the day from hell for the family you're staying with. I hate maggots too! Ew ew ew. And I know about dogs escaping...when we were moving, our dog got really stressed out and decided to bolt down the street. My husband chased her down for a while until I jingled the car keys and said "Scout, wanna go for a car ride?" That immediately got her to come back :)
xlilphishx--I've given my husband the silent treatment over much more minor things, but I don't think what your boyfriend did was super bad. I think he doesn't feel like it was a big deal is all. I don't think he would have said anything if it had been a bigger issue. I guess I wouldn't worry, but that's just me. 10 years is quite a gap, but I've known people that are farther apart than that and they seem to make it work pretty well. It all depends on how mature each person is, I guess."
spectrachic311 said: "I love farmer's markets and shopping, but I don't know how much fun it would be with my husband because yeah, he hates shopping. I've always wanted to go to the Pacific Northwest...it sounds like such a beautiful area. I just have to think of a good reason to go :)
I had to endure spending Saturday night at my in-laws' house (I can't STAND their house. My MIL is a hoarder and her house just grosses me out). I had to go to the Lutz family reunion on Sunday, which was ok, but it also involved a lot of people that I don't know talking to me and asking me when I'm going to have kids. Apparently, that is all women are good for according to most of my in-laws' cousins. I had the same conversations I had with most of those people last year because they are all senile and can't remember anything, lol. But, good news...I got to raid my inlaws' garden and got tons of zucchini, sweet corn, and tomatoes for the week. Score!!
Midnight--that is terrible that you and Angel have to be apart for another year. That would be so hard to do. I also think it's so ridiculous that the city is telling you to cut your grass. I mean, who does it hurt if your grass is long?? My father in law got a similar notice when some neighbor called the cops on him to tell them that he had too many junk cars on the property. He had to sell them/get rid of them ASAP or else the cops were going to fine him. Maybe you can ask a neighbor kid to do it for you...some kids may be willing to do it for free if they are into volunteering (when I was in high school, I mowed lawns for free for my elderly neighbors so it'd look good on college applications). Hope it all works out!"
spectrachic311 said: "My mother in law rivals some of those people on Oprah with her hoarding....it's literally SCARY in her house because there is so much CRAP. She saves everything: fast food drink cups, every piece of junk mail ever, broken coffee mugs, boxes and boxes of fabric samples and scraps, clothing that my husband and his siblings wore when they were like, 9 years old, bottles/cans of expired foods (I once on accident used some salad dressing that had expired in 1999. I tossed it out and grabbed a new bottle from the pantry which had expired in 2000. YUCK!), you name it and it's in her house. Plus, there is another abandoned house on the property that used to be my husband's grandparents' house and it's also full of more junk. Plus a couple of garages/outbuildings full of old junk cars, old machinery, broken down dirt bikes, etc. I'm not looking forward to dealing with all that stuff when they pass on, but I'm considering just burning the place down and selling the land."
xlilphishx said: "Well, this may be my longest post ever. But I have a good friend who is 20. And, he is very good friends with Pat and I. (Pat is my boyfriend) Anyway, we have another friend named Kara who is 30. We recently found out that Kara and Mike are "hooking up". Of course I am looking at this and going "omg, they are both 10 years apart! What are they thinking? They are making a big mistake!" So, whatever. Mike tells us not to say anything. Problem is, our group of friends are not stupid. A week before we found out, Mike and Kara were flirting and I said something to Mike saying how everyone noticed and I asked if anything was going on. He said he was taking her out to dinner. So, I am like whetever. Nothing can happen. They are so far apart in age.
So, Saturday night is the third night Mike blew us off to hang out with Kara. So, we went out with my friend Amanda, Jon, and Anthony. And, of course as soon as we see them, they ask where Mike is. I am like oh he's busy. My friend Amanda goes "He's with Kara, right?" I didn't say anything and just smiled. So, that kind of gave it away. I felt bad because I should have just said no he is not with her. But, I didn't think it was a big deal. So last night I fell asleep and didn't see Pat. But Pat and Mike were haging out for a bit and Pat told Mike that I told Amanda. I was SOOOO angry when he called me today at work to tell me that. I felt bretrayed that my own boyfriend would just sell me out like that. I am not speaking to him now. I can't believe he just did that. His reasoning behind it was "Oh well he should know that people know." So of course I go into ***** Mode and say "Well, no one cares who he is hooking up with at the moment. And, I can't believe you did that. Why are you selling me out when I didn't even really say anything?" So, that is why I am upset now. Do you think I have a right to be upset? Am I blowing this out of proportion by not speaking to him?"
xlilphishx said: "[QUOTE=DBrew]Truthfully,there are much worse things to be upset about. I am sure you will not stay mad for long. I would just hope he would not sell me out on big deals is all.
10 years is really not so much for an age difference. It is quite common. 40 years would be shocking, but not 10. I am one of those aint nothin but a number types, anyhow.[/QUOTE]
Yea, you are right. We are now speaking again. LOL. I guess having my monthly friend didn't help either... I always get kind of *****y then :)"

I guess it is just a woman thing to do. We then realize how dumb it was later on. I am not going to worry- I just hope these two are able to work it out. I worry because we are all good friends and I think them two dating will cause major drama. But, it is none of my business and I really hope they can work it out on their own. Thank you guys for your replies :)"
GreenEyes said: "I spent last week visiting my mother in Vancouver, WA. My kids and I flew over on Saturday and didn't come home until Friday. My kids did pretty well other than missing their Dad and the dogs. My son just turned 13 and now has the attitude of a teenager. Very negative about everything, so that was hard to deal with on such a long trip. We did a lot of fun things. Sunday we went to church twice, wasn't my cup of tea but I did it for my mother. After church we went down to the Farmer's Market in downtown Vancouver. That was a lot of fun and they had tons of samples to try. Yum. Monday we shopped for school clothes for the kids...all day long. Tuesday we drove over to the coast and spent a couple of hours on the beach. It was nice and sunny but the winds made it hard to enjoy. Wednsday we went to ride horses at a boarding place. I did not get on a horse but the kids did and they really enjoyed it. Grace now wants to take lessons and someday own her own horses. Thursday we went to the Ape Caves near Mt. St. Helen's. That was pretty cool because it was a 3/4 mile hike into the caves and that was a lot of hiking! The only bad thing was that my mother's husband hurt his head on the cave wall and had to get 5 stapples that night at the ER. And Friday we went shopping at thrift stores all afternoon and packed to leave that night. My flight home was over an hour delayed....which meant almost 3 1/2 hours of waiting at the airport with two bored kids. Not fun. So my week went pretty well other than a few things. My step-dad is very hard to deal with. He judges everyone! Makes me very upset but I showed him respect and didn't blow up at him. I'm very happy that my mom has someone to love and that she is loved so much by him but he can be hard to handle. Well that was my week. Oh and I went fishing yesturday and loved it! I didn't catch anything but it was still fun being outside with my husband and kids."
DBrew said: "Brittany, your week takes the cake. I hope you are feeling alright and that the person who ran over your foot will buy you some new shoes.
Fscott, it probably was not meant to be. Your a great guy and you are sure to get another gal soon.
Since I was on Vacation, the week was good but I am always feeling underappreciated by my hubby and family. They just expect me to do almost everything and I get little or no thanks and recognition. It is the worst when I work really hard to cook and then nobody eats or if I clean and it gets dirty immediately. There is always situations where I will do laundry and then clean clothes end up all over the floor.I pretty much do it all as far as housework goes.It is very vintage in a bad way. I try to think of all the stuff my husband does, too and to put things in perspective. Sometimes it helps. It would help if I got a paycheck for all this stuff.:)"
DBrew said: "For Sure! I hate asking for help for those exact reasons. It is just easier to do it myself and save the grief.
So are you getting free new shoes?"
DBrew said: "Spectra, that stinks! If I ran over someone's foot I do not think I would just drive away, happily eating french fries! SHe is lucky she hit you because alot of people would take that to court.
Angel, is this the family you are currently staying with? That DOES sound like a bad day, really bad! I hate maggots! Eeeeewwww!"
DBrew said: "Truthfully,there are much worse things to be upset about. I am sure you will not stay mad for long. I would just hope he would not sell me out on big deals is all.
10 years is really not so much for an age difference. It is quite common. 40 years would be shocking, but not 10. I am one of those aint nothin but a number types, anyhow."
DBrew said: "Yeah, friend dating is awkward sometimes, moreso than a large gap in age. I am glad my frienship romance worked out but my sis dated someone from our big group of friends and now they are divided at parties and people have taken sides so it was really not a good thing. I could see how you would worry about that.
Well, I think we girls would be happy if the silent treatment EVER worked, but it does not work on my husband. he just stays silent until I am ready to say something and it is very annoying! He does not usually care if I am mad. I wish he did."
DBrew said: "It definatley is straining to stay silent when mad!"
DBrew said: "That sounds very overwhelming, Mid. You two have so much on your shoulders!
At least you have a beautiful son to brighten your day. My little ones always seem to help me cope.
Do you have any friends that could help with your yard work? Maybe you could pay a younger person a smaller amount of money to do some of it.
I hope the sick people you are caring for will either not suffer too much or get better.
I hope your back will feel better soon. Do you have any pain meds to help?
The worst news is that you and Angel can not be together. I am happy for you that you contained yourself and did not get into trouble. I can see why you would want to go crazy though. You probably miss each other so much!"
DBrew said: "Green Eyes, I had no idea you had kids! I can imagine a 13 year old is hard to deal with. My 8 year old is already giving me a run for my money.
I can tell this was a dadless trip because of all the shopping involved.My hubby owuld not like to shope that much on vacation. I am glad you had a good time. It sounds like a nice place to visit.
You have just got to ignore judgemental people. they are hurting themselves by being that way. Alot of them have nothing better to do than to judge others.
Okay I just checked your profile and saw you have almost my same birthday! I always seem to get along with other Caps and normally they love art, which I do! I saw you love art. Any favorite artists? I go through phases of amazement. Right now I have been into Aubrey Beardsley as well as alot of fairy tale illustrators of that time period whic is mid-late 1800s-early1900s."
DBrew said: "I think hoarding HAS been linked to some mental problems like OCD.
I do not know why when you are married and do not have kids, that is all anyone ever asks. I think it is guaranteed conversation. I am sure they know you are good for way more. What American woman in her right mind is gonna think that is all she is good for?
That is great you got some free organic veggies- you are right- SCORE!!!!!!
Now you can be home at your nice, neat and clutter free new abode."
DBrew said: "Yeah, basically. Maybe a bit more severe in some cases. Like the ones that are on Oprah sometimes."
naynay said: "[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]i reserved a hotel room for when we had to go take hubby to the airport, well we get there and i could tell it was not a nice hotel so hubby went in to see if there was anyway to cancle...it was the same day so we didn't think we could...
well the guy said it prob will not let us but he would try then he told my husband that it worked so he said thanks and that was it.....well last weekend i looked at out back and that hotel charged us for it
i call and talk to the manager and he said that u cant cancel the same day and i told him the story and he said thats not right i said i would have just stayed there if i knew we were going to get charged...he ask who did it i said i don't know his name but he is in the national guard and he said that doesn't help...i said how many ppl do u have working there that are in the guard he said two, then i said did they both work that day and after a pause he said yes
well hubby doesn't remember name or got a cancel number/receipt so there is nothing we can do
the guy even asked wll why didn't you want to stay here, i started to tell him and then said that has nothing to do with it...so we got ripped of when we don't have the money to spare it[/SIZE][/FONT]"
naynay said: "oh midnight and angel..you guys are so strong....i hope u can get some help with the work...i cant bealive that the system is like this, its horrible"
Kat_the_Amazon said: "Hum... Sorry about all that guys :( Man.. Getting run over and having a screwy ex in the pic sucks..
I'm trying to think, but i believe my week has been pretty damn good..."

angel_rising said: "Yesterday was a very unlucky day at this house. First thing apperantly the night before the mom did not notice where teen put trash can so she parked her car infront of it and the garbage did not get picked up. The dad was furious thinking the kid did it after the car was parked. While screaming at the kid 1 of the dogs got out which does not come back so the father had to hop in car and chase dog about 2 miles before the dog decided that it wanted to go for a ride and hopped in the car. The mom had a physical theorpy appointment and they ended up putting her in traction which she says made the pain worse. When eldest kid went to take trash to the dump one of the garbage bags busted in the back and maggots were crawling all over the car. The back door broke where it would not open. The middle kid hurt his knee in football pratice and could not make it to the bus stop right when we were leaving to pick up that kid we got a call from the eldest saying he needed a ride home becuas his "friend" abboneded him at the mall which by the way is in the oppisite direction of the hurt kid. We ofcourse went to pick up hurt kid first but we keepted getting call from the other one complianing that we were not getting there fast enough. Cat shattered a ceramic cup on the stairs. And the only way to get the broken door off the hinges is when it is open which it could not so the dad ended up having to kick down the door which in the end he had to make extra repairs to it.
Even though none of this happened to me, I was very happy to crawl into bed last night and put the whole day behind me
Oh yeah I for got to mention youngest kid accidently hit mom in the face so hard with a pendent on the end of a chain that the percacet she is on for her herniated disk did not help the pian from where she got hit"
Diamond said: "I'm sorry to hear about getting run over, Spectrachic. Ironic that the driver was pulling out of Burger King.
Tess, it's always hard to have your emotions stirred, but chances are that person will fade back out of your facebook as quicky as they appeared.
As for what made me angry? I was cutting up some vegetables and sliced the tip of my left ring finger. Luckily it didn't require any treatment other than some rubbing alcohol and a band-aid. I was more angry at myself for not paying attention and using such a sharp knife!"
Diamond said: "They aren't going to be able to keep it a secret forever anyhow. I hope that your BF comes back around!"
mahesh67 said: "My friend Joe is hoarder. He also is mover for trade. So people tell him to take old stuff all the time. He now rents 2 houses just to keep his junk in!"
help6363 said: "Whilst growing up we lived next door to a woman...... she died on lung cancer on Sunday. I had maintained contact with her. I visited her on Sunday and was informed that she was likely to die. My mum stayed with her.
Later in the day, her son and husband visited her and my mum left. Her son and husband only stayed for an hour. She died half an hour later.
I was so angry that she died alone. I accept death and know it must happen to all of us. I was so angry that she was left alone in this event. I wish I had of known that her family were not going to stay because I would have stayed with her in her final hours. I know I cannot say anything to her husband and son but I really have to 'bite my tongue' around them.
I think passing away alone is horrible."
lakelady said: "Boy, I sure can't beat Brittany's and Tess'es weeks for pure suckiness! I was fixing a hole in the hayloft ceiling and clutzed out and fell off a ladder, but hey, (no pun intended) it was a HAYloft, so it was a pretty soft landing. So, I had a pretty good week as well.

fred said: "I'm angry because I dated a woman for three months and thought we were building a relationship, and then she decided that we should just be friends.
Here's a hint, there is no rewind. Once somebody has feelings for you, you can't ask them to go back to how things were before.
Here's a second hint. If you just want to be friends with benefits or just friends, make it clear early on. Don't lead the dude on. We get hurt just as easily as women.
Fred
P.S. I'm getting over it."
BestinTess said: "Good call....
I'm angry because someone who I used to call one of my dearest friends decided to try to contact me after so long. He was probably one of my best friends, ever, and because of some manipulative (insert expletive) girl (I dated her ex briefly) that he was friends with, I lost that friendship...
The aforementioned girl hacked into my then bf's email all the time, read his junk, found out very personal stuff about me, talked smack about be and basically started up this whole entire Jerry Springer-esque nightmare for me for a few months (which I'll never get back...oh sad). She put my good friend in a situation where he had to choose between her friendship and mine and she manipulated her way into having him oust me. I told him that I'd never lied to him in the past, I would never lie to him in the future. He was too important to me to do that to and if he wanted to believe her, that was fine (despite the fact that she was a proven manipulative such-and-such). We won't even go into the crap that he pulled on me time and time again.
So today I get a a thing from him on facebook.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm just kinda grumpy. I miss him but at the same time, I really don't need to go through that again."
