Reasons why your life sucks- Preach to the choir friends!

W. Smith · 12-12-2007, 04:46 PM

Anyone else's life suck right now..especially during the silly season?
Mine does, but I'm saving more story cause it's almost the worst ever...

JamieRoberts · 12-12-2007, 05:57 PM

I can barely get my arse out of bed on a morning. I don't know why. That's about it for me.

spider · 12-12-2007, 06:10 PM

Couldn't ignore this thread.

Can't really say I've got any complaints right now but if thats what it takes to get you to spill...

-I have no money.

-I have to move out within the next year or so, or else.

-I can't draw cars at an angle.

-I suck at drawing cityscapes.

-I saw myself naked this morning.

-There is a good possibility I may have a girlfriend before the year is out.

-I can't smile properly.

-I'm never likely to see Rob Zombie live.

-I haven't seen Hitman or Beowulf yet (they had to come out at xmas)

-We're out of coke.

As a matter of fact, my life does suck. In the last several months:

*I haven't gotten laid. Or even hugged. Not that this is news.

*The watch I inherited from my grandfather was stolen.

*My car got totaled, and my cheapo insurance wouldn't give me a dollar for it because I was technically at fault. I got $75 from a scrap yard.

*I lost my job because... they wouldn't say, actually, but I'm pretty sure it was because I finally lost patience with my incompetent boss and talked back to him when he told me at the end of an 80-hour work week something critical that I needed to do by the next morning.

*My former place of employment got vandalized a couple weeks later (no, I didn't do it), so I had to sit through some intimidating visits from the local constabulary, and worry that they might come back with a warrant to trash my house looking for evidence.

*I got passed over for a great tech job, because (according to a friend of a friend on the inside, who was none too pleased with the outcome of the interviews), a couple of the people involved in the second round of interviews "had a harder time imagining me in the job" than one of the other (less technically qualified) candidates. (And of course no one looks to hire people during the holidays, with things either being hectic or people taking time off, so I can pretty well count on no more prospects between now and the first of the year.)

*The great little house I had been planning to make an offer on (and finally get off the rental treadmill) before my personal finances went to hell, was sold.

*One of my best friends is going in for tests later this week to diagnose possible colon cancer.

At least I don't live in Kansas.

Car crapped out on me. Have to carpool to work with the other guy, what a fugly bastard he is. What else? Ehh, I dunno. Just have to buy a new car soon. I really wanted to pick up chicks with my own wheels.

secret-identity · 12-13-2007, 01:32 AM

hey, don't worry about it man. If it makes you feel any better:

- As you may or may not have heard, I finally found a young lady who shares similar interests as I, had the guts to ask her out, and she turned me down.

- Which means another lonely Christmas season.

- I'll probably end up getting a D in my multimedia class

- The System language on my computer is Chinese, and I can't change it

- and obviously, I have no purpose in life because I'm replying to this thread at 1:30 in the morning.

W. Smith · 12-13-2007, 08:56 AM

I have to give it to you those are pretty bad...but really that's not all that bad (Except for JAQ)....

In reading this understand that I am not playing the victim. I am completely responsible (well, except for the insurance company...) I am just venting. Maybe by venting I will be less bitter. Regardless confession is good for the soul...

Here we go, in reverse chronlogical order.

Next week:
Having surgery...spending the whole christmas season on liquids and using all what vacation time I have to recover, homebound, while my kids go to see their grandmother.

This past week-end-Sunday:
Decided to give church a try again. No money for gas so I decided to catch a ride with my brother. Almost to his house and I get pulled over for a California stop" and also get a ticket for expired inspection, which I can't fix because the speedometer is broken and the car won't pass inspection without it, but I don't have the money to get that fixed either.

Friday night
Got in a fight with my smart ass son (He's 13) who was going on about how he hates his mother and ended with a great big WHATEVER!" to which I replied by slapping his face. I caught him with my fingers. It didn't mark him but he has braces and it broke his lip. (Should never hit your kids, I totally agree, I lost my temper) In response, my soon to be X-wife said I was a threat and may seek a restarining order (maybe that's justified...but it still sucks)

Last Week:
Insurance double-dips my checking account which ends up putting me negative -taking money from my wife's new account (before we split them) and bounces my rent check.

Week-end before thanksgiving:
Miss WW TX to go to my brother's wedding in FL. Lose my keys while I'm there.

Monday before Thanksgiving
Spend Monday when I get back chasing down keys and locks and all that in my son's car. Get pulled over for failure to stop (I know, I know). The cop writes two tickets and two warnings: Failure to stop, Expired inspection (My son wrecked the car so it cannot be inspected until its repaired. It was his fault so he won't report it to the insurance cause the other guy, got a ticket for no insurance and therefore has no real recourse), No front liscense plate (from the wreck), and finally no insurace card, which was probably in the car but who could find it in the mess a 17 yr old leaves in his car?

July 2007:
My wife of 18 years and I mutually separate- leading to the impending divorce we are undertaking now. She informs me less than two weeks after I move out that she is ready to start dating and eager to fall in love...two conditions that I didn't realize were in the near future for either of us. So now I live in a one bedroom apartment with the family beagle. (From a 4000 sq ft. house to a 615 sq ft apartment)

April 2007:
Forced to bankruptcy after too many job transistions and trying to put both of us through college. (She finished-Software Engineering and Management, I have 19 hours left in my double major: English-History)

So there!

Dude you rock, you're becoming everything I ever wanna be!
That is, a biker badass covered in tattoo's that comes into pubs to drink bitter or guinness and rant about how they resent their ex wife and women in general and how their son isn't speaking to them because they've failed at life.
When I meet guys like that I stare blankly thinking 'good god you rule'.

I've never understood why this would bother anyone too much, you could well have dodged a bullet.
Doesn't matter how hot she is, someone somewhere is sick of her shit.
