The name of the thread does indeed have the word bitch in it. Is that symptomatic of the sexist culture in which our language developed? Yep.
It's probably unrelated but I dislike the name of the "RL anger" thread.
There are many, many things that peeve, annoy or disappoint me about real life that I don't feel anger towards. Anger is a strong word.
Sunday night/Monday morning some thieving scumbags forced an entry to my garden and stole patio furniture that we got for an anniversary present. Also took as many garden tools as they could carry (some of which belonged to my mother who died 3 years ago and thus were of great sentimental value), and our barbecue. We reported it to the police, but they said we'd probably never see it again, and gave us an incident number.
So I went out and around where I live today, asking people I met if anyone had been trying to flog some wicker patio furniture, and amazingly one girl I know from walking our dogs said, oh huh, is it white and so big by so big, and are you missing a barbecue too? If so, it's in this lock up shed over where I live.
I ran all the way there, and yup... was all my stuff. So snapped some pics through the shed slats on my phone, rang police and sat on the ground in front of the door for three solid hours until police came. I was so ANGRY that some fucking nasty shitbags had done this that I was fully ready to stop them moving it someplace else. It was so satisfying when they busted the place open and got my stuff out.
RL ANGER!!
