I more mean in the cases where it's the same person. Over and over. When you've spoken to them about it: 'Hey, if you don't think you can keep up with this, don't promise it.'It gets frustrating after a while. And it's never a 'I'll try to...' it's always this guarantee they want you to trust.
I get that people forget. That things come up. Totally understand. But I don't appreciate the person who gets bent out of shape when they say 2 hours, then after that window has passed, I'm asleep, busy with other things, etc.
It's the expectation that my life is on hold for theirs that gets me.

Oh, I absolutely get it. I'm just saying it's likely not on purpose. You still have the right to be annoyed about it, obviously.

It's one of those situations where... I know I put effort into keeping up with such promises. Or if something comes up, I drop a note: 'Hey, I know I said I'd get together with you tonight, but I totally spaced on something else I had already committed to. We will get together soon!'
I guess some days, I want that same level of dedication/consideration, damnit!

Yeah, I know the feeling.
I also know sometimes I am the source of that feeling in others.
It's a strange dichotomy that I am not always very proud of.

Not being a hermit is hard sometimes. It's part of why (along with trust issues >.>) that I keep a fairly narrow circle of friends.

ikr.
the worst part is I don't have a narrow circle of friends, I have several very narrow circles of friends. XD

Listening to my co-workers talk about Orlando. Thank god it's nobody I work with, directly. I really wish my office had some sort of 'don't do that'.

Finding out I work for the same company as the guy who did the shootings.
And then having to listen to people joke about us going on shooting rampages.
Assholes.

Do they want to be locked up?
Because that's how you get locked up.

@Arkandel After it was revealed that the company also was a contractor under the Department of Homeland Security, I honestly don't think there's anything they could do to get locked up at this point...

Talk about self-fulfilling prophecies, right?

So, there's this "slow" guy that's been coming into my job (a specialty retail store) for, oh, well over a decade now. Every time he comes in, he asks my name, which I give him, of course, and he promptly forgets it.
A couple of weeks ago he came in and I was in a pretty nasty mood so when he asked me my name-- for what had to have been the 1000th time-- I made up a name on the spot and gave him that name, rather than my real name.
Today, he comes in and promptly calls me by the fake name that I gave him the last time. To make matters worse, some other customers overheard and are now calling me by the fake name.
sigh

I am hoping the name isn't something along the lines of Bigglesworth McBiggs or something like that?

Well, I have the full picture now re; mom's cancer, and it wasn't too different from what I was expecting.
She's starting chemo today. IF she reacts favorably, the doc says that her life expectancy would be 1 to 2 years. If not, less.She's also extremely depressed, because she is by character an extremely depressive, pessimistic person, so that's going to affect her. And the fact that my aunt, her sister, is probably going to die of cancer in a few months from now is going to hit her hard as well. She doesn't want to walk, she barely eats, and my father isn't helping because he's losing his temper when she resists.
Can we be done with 2016 already?

Strength to you and yours, @Vorpal. If you don't have a support network yet, talk to the hospital or the American Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.org/treatment/index).
Mine's much more minor and is really irritation rather than anger, but after having two difficult molars extracted yesterday afternoon (my jawbone apparently is nice and dense, so it took over an hour) I'm sitting here gingerly chewing some cheese in violation of the post-op treatment because I simply can't go another moment eating nothing but soup and oatmeal.

So here I am at origins game fair and there's an hour wait just to pick up tickets I already bought online .
New system for sign in, higher requirements for volunteers meaning fewer volunteers.
It's not anger, but it's at least eye-rolling. First nerd problems and a light reprieve from real world assholes.

Hello, anniversary of my brother's suicide. Fancy seeing you again this year.
