People just suck at driving in general. City driving is the worst. People not using turn signals, assholes in the lane next to you speeding up to cut you off when you indicate you're changing lanes, people cutting out in front of you, etc.... Driving outside of city limits is fun though, I will say, but city driving makes me very nervous. I even have trouble driving around a parking lot because you don't know who's gonna pop out in front of you. Yep. Times a million.

There was an incident back a couple of years ago where some idiot passed me on a yielded turn. Nearly sideswiped me.

I still haven't got my post grad loan and am now massively overdrawn and I was also underpaid as HR didn't notify payroll that I am entitled to sick pay for days off I had in January so basically I have no money. Thankfully I am not at risk of missing rent or not being able to pay the electric bill but I am not even sure if I have any space on my credit card to travel to work.

I say this here a lot. I guess doing it in this thread is better than hijacking threads where I should be respectful, but...
Celebrity deaths. And when they're sudden and/or no cause given. Yes I am thinking about Lanny Poffo today.
But when that's the case...you know certain conspiracy theorists start salivating. That's what gets me mad, nervous, etc. Confused too...what if they're right? Anything can be convincing if you say it enough.
I really need advice or helpful words about this. I guess my always talking about it is my way of asking for that.

Not so much "angry" as "annoyed," but people misusing "rest in power" for anyone that's died as if it's the hip new way to say "rest in peace." It had a very specific context for its usage for activists or victims of injustice (especially in the Black and LGBTQ+ communities), and like "woke," it's losing all its meaning.

My experience was the opposite of yours because I got an amazing deal for the truck in the first place. I still had $2700 after paying off my loan for the truck.

No power and cold as heck going on almost 2 whole days.
Crazy that I don't see what's happening here in Austin being talked about more on a larger scale.

Idiot brother tried to cancel our DirecTV yesterday. Again. Just because he and sister-in-law don't use it doesn't mean that nobody else here does. He also doesn't know how TV channel packages work, as he's once again tried to pick and choose which channels to keep, and he seems to believe that everything on TV is also on streaming services which is blatantly false.
Sister-in-law promptly overruled him.
Also, we were paying on three receivers we didn't even have because nobody there recorded that they'd been shipped back. That's been settled.

When easily predictable disaster occurs, few will treat it as newsworthy. I do have so, so much more to say about this but there is no way I can say what I want to say on this forum.

Spam calls or... wrong numbers idk... calling at 8AM. You could at least leave me a dumb voicemail to laugh at later if you're going to wake me up *shakes phone* I'm getting a lot of spam calls recently. what's even more odd, was the other week at the bus stop and my phone rang. Looked at the number and it was my mobile number except the second last digit was different. didn't answer but i got a second one from another mobile with the number exactly the same as mine but with the second last digit also different. Maybe it's myself from another dimenion who's traveling the multiverse and is trying to get my help...?

This is an Ordinal, an NFT added direct to the bitcoin blockchain. The original image takes up 4mb of data, and had a carbon footprint of 888metric tonnes of CO2. That's the same as flying from New York to Tokyo AND BACK 466 times.

It's mostly quieted down now though. My mother has gotten spoof calls in the past-- the landline ID box would show her name/number and it always confused her, heh.

Well, I caught a cold at a pretty awkward time. I'm off on vacation next Wednesday, which I'm not too worried about. But I've already missed 3 days of work & I'm falling a bit behind. I also have to get my travellers insurance as well as US cash. And I have a date this Sunday.

Sister-in-law goes up to her father's house about every two weeks to check on him, see that his bills are paid, etc. She was s'posed to go yesterday, but Thursday night idiot brother let us know that she wouldn't be going this week. Turns out sister-in-law's father caught COVID, and sister-in-law does not want that again.
When sister-in-law informed her father of this, he threw an ungodly fit, tried to demand that she come anyway because "he had things to do" and let slip that he initially wasn't going to tell either her or her brother (who was also s'posed to be there and I'm assuming also bailed) that he'd caught it. This guy was a Karen before the term even became popular, so I couldn't say I was surprised that he'd be this stupid and selfish.
