Here's a thread for basically whining or ranting about a crappy event or a crappy day or week or what have you.
No politics, no celebrities, just what in your immediate life has you so miffed that you simply MUST blow off the steam somewhere!
Middle o the night, I'm restless, lungs are crappy cuz I'm sick. I figured a nice night drive would help me feel better cuz they always do. So I prepared a plan of action:
So, first I drove through the empty streets to the library... where some guy was walking right at the opening of the parking lot, staring right at me. And two other people (at least one of them also a guy in dark) walked up to meet him, whereupon he nodded toward my car and they all looked at me. I was a little creeped out, so I kept driving rather than pulling in. Unfortunately, some apartment complex met me, and the No Through Road thingies made me have to loop back to my starting point, followed by waiting on a red light. All three people started toward my car, heads pointed right at me again.
They were mighty close by the time the light turned green, and while I didn't speed out, I did just plain go, glad to be out of there. They were probably fine and all, but... I wasn't about to take chances, and it just felt really creepy.
So, library was out, books are still in my car...
I got back to my state of residence and to McD's, pulled into the drive-through... and was told the system was down, so I couldn't order anything for a good while.
Ok... So, on to Mooly Mart. I successfully found 2/3rds of what I wanted, and a few other things too (this one still has the Sierra Mist Undercover Orange, yaaaay! But not on sale, booo, so I only bought one bottle). Wanted to try some of those vote-for-the-flavor Mt. Dews cuz I still haven't tried one of them so I can't fairly vote yet, but it seems nobody has the darn thing, blargh.
But, as I was pushing my cart down the main aisle, I heard the heavy sound of multiple carts being pushed at once, gaining on me despite my good clip. I figured, well, I wasn't exactly hidden; the worker had to see me ahead and would slow down. (it was a straightaway, action-alley, and I'd been there far longer than his approach) He only had like eight carts anyway. So I started looking down the aisles I was passing to see where I could get outta the way but still select something useful...
He hit me hard. I would have went flying and down if not for running into my own cart. I squealed cuz he hit the back of my right ankle rather hard plus I was just plain not expecting it. And he just laughs and goes "Heheh, oh, you alright?"
I was still reeling, but managed to go "Uh, I guess," though I think my tone was kind of angry. He didn't even move, just smiling coldly, so I had to move my own stuff into the nearest aisle whereupon he just kept rolling, without a single apology.
Maybe I shoulda acted more miffed; it really hurt. The jolt of the whole thing got my neck aching badly within a few minutes.
And to top it off, no nose plugs. I can't find 'em ANYWHERE! Blargh!
Went back to McD's, system was back up, but it still took them 8 minutes to get me some 4 piece nuggets and fries. The former of which were cold and stale, and the sweet-n-sour sauce was absolutely rancid.
So yeah... not the best night out I've had. A few of those are nitpicks, yeah, but after the major crappy-things, even the little things add up. >_<
Oh well... the neighborhood orange tomcat's currently here rubbing on me and purring, so I'm starting to feel better already. ^_^;;

Middle o the night, I'm restless, lungs are crappy cuz I'm sick. I figured a nice night drive would help me feel better cuz they always do. So I prepared a plan of action:
- Cross the bridge back into Ohio, drop off books at the library book-drop
- Return to WV, get some McDonald's fries cuz I had a mad craving for fries for some reason
- Go to Mooly Mart to buy some orange juice, lunch meat, and see if they have nose-plugs for swimming. (Can't find my old ones, and my nose has abnormal suction)
