Arrggh! I can't believe what just happened today. I took my wife's new 2016 Jeep in to have it serviced and one item looked at for a warranty claim. Mind you it only has barely 10K miles and is less than a year old. The service writer had the nerve to say what I wanted done wasn't under recall. I told her it was a new car. I wasn't a asking about a recall. That it was a new car and should be covered by the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Then asked, "Did you get any papers from Jeep indicating you car had a warranty?" I nearly lost it. I just told her that I was going to find another dealer and left. As soon as I was in the car about to leave the service manager came out and stuck his head in through the drivers window. I wasn't about to hear him out. Obviously the training of the service writers was his responsibility and he has sadly FAILED. He backed out of the car and I put in reverse and left the dealership.

My word against yours? When have you known me to make that stuff up? When have you known me to care enough to make stuff up? You really want to sit there and lie and say I'm lying, go ahead. I must warn you though, you're not hurting me in the slightest, you're hurting her. I dont care if I'm the bad guy so long as my friends are safe in the end. I held my tongue before because you never crossed me, but now you have in a rather big way that I cant just ignore it. And I'm not the other girl, I wont let you talk that way about me. If I were you I'd start confessing and then walk out if her life for good this time, I'm not playing your game anymore.

After getting my Skoda back after the Haldex pump failed (4 wheel drive system), I head off for a weekend away and guess what... another spring broke! So much for these 'hardy' crossovers!
On the other hand though, the dealer did give me 20% discount on the repair, possibly because of the trouble I have had.
It is six years old and done only 43,000 miles so he didn't have to do that. No complaints there... just with SKODA!

Stop asking me to hang out... stop, just stop. You messed up, but you don't *think* you've done anything wrong. I don't know if you think we'll just continue on like nothing happened, or if you're just that plain stupid.
(Few days later but still rage worthy)
Today I had an offer from a publisher for my novel, 'The Nurses'.
It came with a wonderfully glowing, 4 page 'independent' report which sang it's praises highly.
It ended with this paragraph;

"I enjoyed the quick pace of this, the writing and the story itself. For its encapsulation of an
era, it shines. It’s just well pulled together. It does require a bit of an edit to get it market
ready, though nothing major for a manuscript of this length. However, when given a bit of a
polish, I think this will be a great novel that underscores a good deal more than the elegant
prose belies. I am more than happy to recommend this for publication
."

"Ok, so why the rage?" I hear you ask.

They want £5400.00!

That's over 7K US!

No wonder you got a "Glowing Report". They are just after your money to publish your book.

I'd pass Anna...

Don't worry, James. I told them I can't afford such a sum but, if the book is as good as the report suggests then maybe they should take a gamble and publish in the traditional way with no upfront...
I eagerly await their no reply!

Inviting us over for a party is not reaching out, that's blowing us off making it seem like its not a big deal. It isnt appropriate either, if he really wanted to make amends he would talk to us first. Not be like so what is everyone doing? We dont we grab drinks and hang out at my place. He clearly doesnt think he has done anything wrong by his prior actions! He knows what he did too! How are we wrong in our actions then? We wanted him to come to us, because why should we have to go and address him? We're not wrong to be angry, but he's wrong for not taking us seriously at the very least not even atrempting to talk to us about it before inviting us because he's boredn because he wants to drink, because he expects us to be like chloe and remain silent and stuff our problems into a box and ignore them. Because to chloe its not a big deal in the first place and it kills her inside because she never tries to fix her problems only hope it goes away. Stop trying to compromise to appease everyone that doesnt work either because you also almost always sweep it under the rug and it kills you too. I have watch all of you on how you have dealt with this same problem over and over again for a whole year now. Your way doesnt work, and I am not going to compromise myself to adhear to what you all want. Im not putting up with that nonsense, I refuse to just easliy forgive someone who doesnt deserve it and hasnt proven to be worth my time. If the roles were reversed and you guys were mad at me I would have reached put as soon as I heard or saw that you were. We would have talked and if I actually had done something that I didnt mean to do I would have fixed it. But If I have to go to a stupid man and tell him that what he has done to my friends was wrong then whats the point. He isnt going to change, he wont bother trying to fix it. He's just waiting it out because chloe forgives instantly and you cave in within a month for her. And dont say you dont because it happened so many times I lost fucking count.
I don't give a fuck who you are, if you come at me with a raised fist and hit me, i will fucking hit you back. Toxic bitch
"Fall is the source of my victory
As there's no force without a fight
So let me stride on this path that will lead me to the end
Of a twisted life, that stands before my eyes"
If breaking down is the only way for you to realize something is wrong, then I dont want that attention. I dont want that sympathy. If you ignore me when Im okay and then wonder what happened when Im not, then I dont want your attention. Because you're only paying attention becayse your a "good person" and it makes you feel good about yourself when helping others when their in pain. But I don't want it, I want something real.
AAarrrgggghhh

Our local PBS station just removed Last of the Summer Wine from their line up.

And what did they replace it with? Keeping Up Appearances GROAN!!![/size]

My heart is broken, I starred in this series for years. My real name is Hyacinth. https://youtu.be/caYP0utGeic

Last of Summer Wine is particularly good too, of course.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. Sometimes you have to put in time for your friends. Otherwise, what kind of friend are you.
Edited: I hate people. I hate the world. Suck it.
Why can’t you just go away!!
If you really learn more from your failures than you learn from your successes, then I must be the one hell of a learned man.

Edit: Every problem has a solution.
I am so sorry that you find the fact that I locked both the doorknob and deadbolt locks on the front door when I left to mail a letter and returned a little while later so aggravating. I am sorry that little things like that add to the aggregation of your entire day.

Maybe you should learn to take the small things in stride. They are always going to be there because this is the nature of the universe.

But I know that you love to let these small aggravation’s snowball until you can throw a right big hissy fit. This is the reason you are not welcome at my parents’ home, any of my siblings’ homes and many of my friends’ homes. This is the real reason I decided not to make the changes you demanded of me. You just weren’t worth the trouble.

You may want to think about your actions because I have shown if you present me with a fuse then I will light it and don’t think you hold some unbeatable hand because you don’t. I don’t really need you, I have options that don’t involve you. Push me too far and I will be gone.
It is only August and already I am seeing Halloween decorations and costumes on sale.

DOES NOBODY KEEP THE TRUE MEANING OF THIS MOST SACRED HOLIDAY IN THEIR HEARTS ANYMORE?

It has all turned so commercial.

Edit: And if anybody wishes me a “Happy Holiday” instead of a “Happy Halloween” I am going to curse the mother-mocker!

I fundamentally do not understand how a person can be so cruel by faking an entire life and pretending to be something they are not. If you want to live that way don't drag anyone else down with you. Deceiving good, caring people is despicable. Just leave and this time don't return.

I just want my only sibling to step up and help. After all, they are your parents too and yet you still expect me to do it all! You live less than an hour away!


I wish mine would too. I live 50 miles away but she and her family are just 50 yards away and yet, I find myself driving that 50 miles to do the things for my 95 year old Mum that she and her family should be doing!

Where did I lose myself?
If people would only learn to mind their own business. Don’t you realize how stupid it makes you seem when you jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts? I really feel so sorry for you! You’re pitiful and a sad little person. Maybe you should get a life of your own and stop trying to live and interfere in mine. Shame on you!
