Bit of a rant
13This isn’t part of my normal October topics. I’m just annoyed, and I feel like ranting about it.
I know I’m probably not in the best mood because I had one of the worst nightmares last night. I actually woke up in tears it was so bad. Then today was supposed to be the fall festival. I ended up not going because it was supposed to pour all day. It ended up not raining until the festival was over, so I could of gone. So I’m annoyed that I didn’t.
Anyway… When I was at a gas station, I overheard this dude asking one of the attendants if they were hiring. He looked like he hadn’t had a good shower in a while. He then started to tell a story about how he quit his job today because he didn’t get a raise. Just wtf, you quit your job after you find another job. My ex used to do that shit and saddle me with all the bills. I just don’t understand the mentality. At least try to find something else before you lose all your income.
Then later I was getting dinner and go to this place that has really good bbq. I need to use the restroom, and when I go to go in, there’s a dude pissing in the toilet, holding onto the wall for dear life. At least lock the damn door if you’re going to piss in the women’s restroom. And for the love of God, don’t piss all over the seat.
I know this shit is stupid, but I really felt like I needed to vent.
The food was fucking delicious though.

Seems like you had a fair bad day.
I dunno if the etiquette experts would say that a little non-self-pitying, and non-rage-filled, and non-condemn-them-to-hell-type venting and ranting would be permitted and appropriate in these circumstances.
I dunno what they would day. So I’ll say it.
It’s fine. It’s cool. You’re cool.
/giphy "be cool"
Yum!
People Suck.
Wet toilet seat…lol
I was only stopping by your dreams to say Hi. I didn’t mean to scare you. At least I put up the seat!
@mfladd
Can’t stress that second point nearly enough.
@mfladd geez dude. Go a little easier on me next time. I don’t like to cry!
@RiotDemon
Could I come?
@mflassy to the bbq restaurant or my nightmares?
@RiotDemon
If you pay for my flight and meal, sure, I’d come join you
@mflassy I’d pay your meal, but not your flight. I’m not Mrs. Moneybags.
@RiotDemon
Ok. In that case, I’ll try to visit you in your dreams eventually.
@mflassy be a little nicer than @mfladd please.
@RiotDemon
No promises.
@RiotDemon
If you’re offering to pay for my meal, you could just send 50% of the value of what I’d eat to the fund which @ruouttaurmind has for me (if there are no objections).
@mflassy what fund?
@Barney @RiotDemon
Here’s a fun story from Readers Digest which involves catching a goat while fishing.

@mflassy oops!
To distract yourself, just try to figure out why somebody would design this carpet.
@mflassy that’s great!
@mflassy That carpet is freak’n amazing!
@mflassy
Ok I want that carpet. Or I want eyes that see the world that way, upon command.
@mfladd yah, it is
@f00l Macular degeneration in the early stages might do that…grid lines are no longer parallel then…
@mflassy I’m more interested in the question of why would that carpet be found in a store?
@dashcloud
Why not though?
@dashcloud
Hipsters.
Blame the hipsters.
@mflassy Pure evil in their heart. Note it’s in a bookstore. Just think what fun it would be in a bar.
@mflassy bored college students
@RiotDemon I’d take retroactive blame for the nightmare if I could, because I don’t mind the nightmare nearly as much as the the laying awake afterward.
Pissing on the seat is just pitiful! Everyone knows you’re supposed to lift the seat to piss, then leave it up when you’re done.
At least you got a good meal.
/giphy MMM barbecue!
@mflassy Can you come over and paint that pattern on my patio? I want to watch the drunks navigate it.
@2many2no I’ve had a lot of nightmares… This one was just so realistic and what happened was really heart wrenching. I think I actually kicked and screamed myself awake because I sent my partner a text and then I quickly fell back asleep. I must of exhausted myself.
@2many2no
Sure. Let’s discuss pay.
@mflassy O.K.
I buy the beer…
@2many2no
I love dreaming, but sometimes they absolutely suck. I’ve started many days in a bad mood because of something I dreamed. I’ve told my husband some of the catastrophic things that happen in my dreams and he is dumbfounded, mostly because he never remembers his. Sometimes I wish I didn’t either.
@pitamuffin a lot of people don’t remember them. If you want to remember them, you can set an alarm for 20 minutes before you normally wake up, then you’ll usually interrupt the dream and remember it.
A lot of medicines can make you remember dreams or have more nightmares. I had to stop taking singulair for my allergies because even fairly tame nightmares left me with the worst feelings of dread.
I don’t normally mind that much when I have a nightmare… This one was just too extreme.
@RiotDemon Singulair is notorious for causing nightmares. I take a trazodone at bedtime as well as Singulair, and mostly don’t remember my dreams.
I had to use the restroom at a local bar. I got to the restroom and tried to close the stall door. But the latch was misaligned. And the door wouldn’t shut even without the latch, it’d just swing back open inward. And the toilet was in a direct eyeline with the door to the restroom. A very suspenseful experience.

@ThomasF roll up three lengths of toilet paper, braid them and fashion some kind of twine?
@RiotDemon I was trying to think of something to use to lash the latch together, but the toilet paper braid did not occur to me at the time.
@ThomasF
And that’s why going to a bathroom is socially dangerous.
@ThomasF now you are prepared for the future!
I still drive at night, this has caused all sorts of complicated social interactions.
@cranky1950
With a toilet seat in a ladies room?
@f00l It never gets that far. I’m probably a f00I
I get a lot of nightmares, but there seems to be a pretty low ceiling to how stressful those things can get. The only one I remember sticking with me when I woke up was some plausible dream about someone I knew doing a thing that made me angry.
I don’t go out a lot… At least, I don’t have to deal with other people’s urine-related challenges.
Have a better day tomorrow. Or I guess that’d be today.
Forum time is kind of nonlinear anyways.
@InnocuousFarmer
You must be dreaming.
/giphy non-linear
@f00l I think you’re right.
