Parents who force their kids into studies or educations they don't want to. (or force them in general to certain things) I can happily say that I haven't been forced to it, but I can say for sure that I personally wouldn't know what I would want to be, if they did. And I probably would've hated whatever they picked. Please, do not force your child to start on a study they do not want, just because YOU didn't have a chance. I've heard countless of my old friends who had problems with their parents who wouldn't allow them to do what they wanted. Sure, go ahead and suggest it, maybe even push it a bit onto them if they're lazy, but they need to be able to say "no." You should care and love your child while he/she's a child. Not to make sure they forcefully live the life you wanted to live. It might be your child, but it's not your slave, damnit.
[QUOTE=MrLexez;47033052]Parents who force their kids into studies or educations they don't want to. (or force them in general to certain things)[/QUOTE] My friend has been pushed really hard to take up a business/economic career in the future, and his parents are really encouraging him to keep job-focused education in mind. However, he's turned to it and seen how much it can benefit him. Really it depends on the amount of pressure.

USPS lost my damn package apparently.
I somehow got sick even though I haven't left the house in almost a week, every single atom of my body is in constant pain
People that constantly change their name on steam to something edgy and troll-esque like Mitt Romney 2016. Probably not a good example but.
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;47032896]whenever I get reminded about how terrible I am at video games.[/QUOTE] think about that as a good thing. it will give you motivation to get better it actually pushes me to do better. I can safely say that im good at bass guitar, and i decided to move on to guitar 3 weeks ago i barely knew how to hold barre chords and use a pick, and seeing all of the guitarists that were wayyy better than me reminded myself of what i need to get better at. seeing them fly around the frets and spewing/shredding out more notes in one solo than an entire green day album makes me think "im gonna be able to do than someday" it motivates me on a related note, alternate picking is a bitch to practice
I work at a pizza place and we sell slices for lunch. When people complain that getting a specialty pie is either impossible or like eight dollars on a slice. I'm just like 'watf do you think we do, toss a tiny dough and form it into the shape of a slice of pizza??' When people order takeout and we're swamped and they're like 'ugh, thirty minutes to make some salads and sandwiches??' No. Thirty minutes to make a bunch of other peoples' salads and sandwiches then your sandwich. Like we have one guy just standing around waiting to make your sandwich when you call.
Whenever I get mad about something that's legitimately something one could be mad about, certain people around me look at me like I'm the biggest asshole on the planet. So then I feel completely invalidated, which makes me feel like shit for getting mad in the first place, but a little piece of me is still hanging on, like, "hang on, anger is a normal human emotion." Like I don't really get mad all that often, I'm generally pretty laid back, but the few times when something really upsets me, I feel almost like I'm [I]not allowed [/I]to feel that way. It's really confusing and frustrating and exhausting.
Fucking team leaders who can,t fucking manage anything other than their own empty schedule without fucking something up and without thinking. It's a really busy week, with a lot of callers every day, and mid-week, they decided to send 3 FUCKING PEOPLE ON VACATION, AND 1 ON SICK LEAVE. I can understand the sick leave, but 3 EMPLOYEES ON VACATION? We are getting flooded with calls, I get little to no break between each of them and I'm dead tired. Sounds petty, but the same thing happens for everyone at the same time And after that they are surprised that we don't perform as well as last week No fucking shit you backward-brain morons

I'm the same way normally, everyone else is allowed to get bent out of shape but as soon as I do, i'm getting mad for no reason. It's horseshit. [editline]29th January 2015[/editline] I'm really getting sick of being kept on the back burner for things. All I ask for is a little help but I guess i'm not important enough to keep in the loop.
my orchestra group is a bunch of pompous assholes don't try or care about orchestra
[QUOTE=kaine123;47031657]i wish fp would get rid of the ratings system because it encourages groupthink almost as badly as the reddit vote system does[/QUOTE] Is that why I often see posts very close to eachother in Agree/Disagree ratings?
I got my schedule for next week. I have Sunday & Monday off, then Tuesday through Thursday I work 4:30-10:00 (16:30-22:00). I keep getting saddled with late shifts and it's really, really pissing me the fuck off. My mom said that it's not fair and that I should complain to whoever's doing the schedule, but what's that gonna do? Fucking nothing. Of course my dad gives his spiel about how if I was in school I wouldn't have to deal with that.

Most of those type jobs stipulate you have to be available for nights and weekends. Get buddy buddy with the manager that does the schedule. At least they're not long shifts? Or do you want long shifts?

I know that I have to be available for nights & weekends, but come on, there's four or five other guys who work in that parking lot. I don't see how giving everyone an equal share of night shifts is hard. One of the guys (Fatboy, of course) says that he can only work late shifts on Saturdays because his mom comes and gets him. How the fuck is that fair?

My mom took out the door to my room without warning today.
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;47037843]My mom took out the door to my room without warning today.[/QUOTE] Why exactly?
man I hate my social anxiety, there's this guy I really like and I wanted to start getting with him and date and what not, but I'm so afraid to ask. he seems to have interests in me too but it's like, I don't even know what to say or do, and my anxiety hits hard when I think about it. it fuckin' sucks...
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;47037843]My mom took out the door to my room without warning today.[/QUOTE] They used to do the same with my door as well. Their reasoning was "Stop closing your door". It gets cold and windy when the door is open, that's why I prefer to close it all the time. But nope, I have to keep the door open, because my dog wants to get in my room. My dog likes to go from room to room every 30 seconds and it's annoying as heck when he does that, rather then staying in one place and lays down in his bed. Second reasoning is why I close my door is because of privacy reasons. I don't want anyone to see me when they pass by my room.
[QUOTE=MrLexez;47033052]Parents who force their kids into studies or educations they don't want to. (or force them in general to certain things)[/QUOTE] My parents wanted me to become a doctor instead of going to the vocational school because they thought I was a special snowflake and smarter than the other kids. I'm not sure why they thought so. They thought studying about computers and stuff like that was "a waste of intelligence" when I could've been a heart surgeon. For a long time they really tried to push me into it, until they just gave up. They're okay with my choice now and don't treat me like I'm special anymore, but they still bring up the topic sometimes. I still don't get it why I was "smart" in their minds, I was the total opposite of that. I always got my hand stuck in the fucking VCR when I was a kid anyway.

What the fuck my parents are home, fighting, and I think my mom is threatening or threatened to kill my stepdad [editline]e[/editline] alright things calmed down, I guess they were just having one of their typical stupidshit fights
My mom thinks it's a good idea to binge on alcohol when my dad's on a business trip or otherwise won't come home for the night. I don't know why the fuck she does it, maybe because she hates it when my dad is not home (it's kind of his job to go on all those trips, so I don't really get it) or because she's depressed. Either way, alcohol is not the right way cope with it. Not to mention she has epilepsy. Last time this happened she fell and split her lip. When I tried to talk to her about how alcohol was probably the cause of this little accident, she just denies it, says that she always drinks in moderation and blames her epilepsy. Oh, and she also partially blamed dad for not being home. I doubt she had a seizure. When I heard a loud thump noise, I immediately ran to the room where she was and she was pretty much still conscious, though she was obviously drunk as fuck. I'm going to bring this up with my dad when he comes home, because it's not right for her to put me in such situations and blame everything else except herself for what happened.
Ever since I moved all my parts into the new case everything has been significantly slower like load times etc. Honestly fucking done with this shit considering you never know what the fuck the problem is. [editline]30th January 2015[/editline] This is what I get for spending money on something. [editline]30th January 2015[/editline] Internet is on the fritz as well apparently fuck everything.

2 hours of wonderful rest and a nice headache to go with it.

My chest hurts like hell from coughing the entire fucking time, fuck me
We almost ran into the neighbor's Golden Retriever with my mom's car. He was in the middle of the street with a leash, a tight collar, and no ID. We had no idea why he was out there. I took him into his owner's house only to find the maids and no owners. They said that he needed to be put in his cage. The maids also have no idea why the dog got out. Two things might have happened: 1. The owner was walking him in the middle of the freezing morning and she dropped the leash. 2. Dog got out of the house with the leash, but the owner didn't give a shit and went off to work. This is the same woman who we've heard before that she hated her dog, let one of her kids with the flu out in the cold winter flurry, then yelled at all four of them later for being mad at herself for not saying "no". After work we plan on having a little chat with our neighbor about the supposed neglect that's been going on.
