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. I should have this on a macro at this point. And again.

Like all cool people I had most of today to dedicate to some overdue life admin. FFS uk government websites are painful.
Had to verify through 2 of 3 ID options, one failed but doesn't tell you what so had to do the process three times. Then when I got through it sent me around in circles looking for reference numbers that it turns out I have to make a phonecall to get. Also have to ring another agency. Both of those things I had fo find out on 3rd party websites. Absolute shit design.

Not really angry as much as a combination of annoyed/relieved.
I work an insane number of hours at my day job. Literally I’m on the clock more than I’m not (and not by a little either). I do this mostly by picking up extra shifts because this company is chronically understaffed. This morning I saw 35 (!) new messages in my work email. Someone new got hired.
I was taken off 35 shifts over the next 2 months or so. Not giving me a head’s up was a total knob move by one of my bosses hence the annoyed part.
If I was a pessimist I’d see it as losing out on thousands of dollars. But it’s not like I don’t have shit to do. Instead of working 18 hours for the next four days (rinse and repeat for several weeks) I’ll be working 10 hours. I can use some of that time on my side business which I much prefer anyway.
Plus, you know l can live a little more like a normal person since I won’t be at my day job 18 hours a day for days on end.

I recently got a line of credit with the bank that provides my mortgage. I had to talk myself into it because I'm very risk averse but I figure it'll be a good thing to have in the event of an emergency. There was supposed to be a fee but it was waived. So I got my card, activated it and put it in the safe in case of emergency. So today I get a bill for the cost of the original fee, over $850 AND it was processed as a Cash Advance for some imbecilic reason. I call the bank and they tell me I have to go to the branch to fix it but thankfully my boss gives me the rest of the day off paid to deal with it. I get there and the tellers (who are doing their best, I'm not mad at them) tell me they have to get in contact with the person that set up the line of credit and have them call me at some point in the future. I'm so angry right now. How hard is it to waive an accidental charge?

As if it wasn’t bad enough that I needed a crown, the dentist got halfway through prepping my tooth and determined that I needed a root canal too. Do now I am sitting in the Endodontist’s office hoping he can see me before the Novocain wears off completely.

Nasty callers who think screaming and swearing is going to get them what they want.
It's even worse because I shouldn't even be the one answering the phones, but my supervisor loves to put me on phone duty when someone else isn't here because he loves making me deadname myself multiple times a f***ing day.

My 6 year old just gave me a disrespectful “blah blah blah” when I dared to list him alternative snacks to the one he wanted but that I had said no to.
He’s goddamn lucky to be born in a time where slapping kids isn’t allowed.

Charged nearly $40 for what I thought were already cancelled subscription services, due to poor ui choices and a payment method bug.

Been looking to buy a new jacket. Winter is ending and the parka is too warm and heavy, and my lighter jacket from last year has a broken zipper. In my small town of 12000 people, there's only two stores that sell that kind of clothing, one is Walmart and the other is Mark's Warehouse. Walmart has nothing thicker than kleenex, Mark's is over $150 and not much better. I'll need to drive an hour over moose-infested highways to neighboring town to just look, or 90 minutes to a city of 60000 to look... and I can't afford to just "do it".

I always like to start my Sunday morning with a long, hot, relaxing soak in the tub, but since moving into my new apartment recently, that has become difficult. Oh, I can still take a long, hot soak in the tub, but between the dudebro next door either blaring bass-heavy dance music so loud it vibrates the walls or playing online games at full volume while screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs, and the downstairs couple's demon-possessed toddler constantly howling like a banshee, it's anything but relaxing.

Not so much angry, as I am past getting angry about this. I just find it exhausting.
My stepson, who is 28, never got his head on straight. His dad messed him up plenty for a variety of reasons, partially to take advantage of the people who love the kid and partially because he’s worse than human excrement (feces at least might fertilize something). Long time posters might remember threads I posted here to vent my frustrations.
Well, now he’s still sponging off of his grandmother on his father’s side, having her pay $450/week for the hotel he insists on living in. She also buys him food every weekend, buys him clothes, and occasionally does laundry for him (the only time it gets done). He claims that he is working constantly but has no money to speak of and asks her for extra money.
He’s also started asking his mother for money as well (he’s gone no contact with me because, in his own words, I don’t mean a damned thing to him - which is a byproduct of his father turning him against me since he knew he did not compare well to me). Of course, since his mother isn’t working the money she sends him comes from me, but somehow I’m still the A-hole.
Well, paying out over $2000/month isn’t truly feasible for his grandmother. I told her if he is expecting her to pay his room and board then she should just rent him an apartment and at least save some money. He doesn’t want an apartment (odds are drugs are somehow involved), so that’s a fight that I’m about to hear about. My wife heard my end of our (that is, his grandmother and me) phone conversation and told me after I ended the call that she didn’t want any details as she’s spent too.

That basically any time I talk about how shitty/abusive my parents were, everybody thinks that I'm endorsing it and that I think that abusive parents are a good thing.

At my job I hate, I mean hate a good amount of people there for different reasons. Its probably the first job I've had where I actively disdain having to go there. But with no real skills its hard to look for a different job for at least the same pay.

Had a really good thing going with a girl for the last three months.
Last Tuesday I spent the night at her place. She's dog sitting for a coworker, and one of them was rambunctious all night, and came into the room at 230 AM to wake us up. I told her I really need to get some sleep for work, so I got my stuff together and went home.
Next day I text as normal, but there's a lot of lag time between responses and one word answers. That evening I ask if everything is ok, she says that's she's upset because of the way I spoke to her. I ask if I can call to talk about it, she says she's taking a shower and going to bed. I send a couple "I'm sorry" messages, she read but didn't respond. Sent a "good morning" today, just got the same in return.
This afternoon, I'm asking if I can call her when she's off work, she's telling me she's going to a hockey game. That starts at 7:30 when she's off at 5:00.
I am genuinely sorry that I hurt her feelings, but I'm also not exactly sure what I did, and the refusal to discuss it is striking me as a hell of a lot more cruel than whatever unintentional thing I did.
Maybe we'll still get past it, but it really sucks to know that someone you trusted to not do shit exactly like this is capable of it.

I’ve had about $4000 worth of unexpected expenses in the past two weeks.
- My PS5 died and I replaced it. Sure, it wasn’t a truly necessary expense but I am a gamer so it’d make me grumpy if I hadn’t. - My cats got sick on a Friday that their normal vet was closed (normally not the case), we had to go several towns over to a vet clinic that could take them. This was two weeks ago, and we had to take one of them several times. - We had ants come in and moles damaging our yard, so pest control came in. - We had to have a plumber pay us a visit. - Yesterday my wife smelled a faint trace of a gas leak. As it turned out, the pipe that ran through my wall and ceiling (our house had a slab foundation) that connects our furnace and water heater to the main gas line was leaking terribly and had been doing so for presumably a long time. We’re lucky the house never went up. The pipe was replaced but we still need the gas company to come back and reconnect the gas to the house. We also now have a room missing its ceiling and part of the drywall.
The kicker. We just patched that ceiling and repainted that room.
