What pissed you off today? Mark II

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Expectations.
Fuck money, I'm pretty sure expectations are the actual root of all evil.
And I don't understand people who don't speak up when given the chance, and then are pissy when their expectations are not met. Pointless frustrations they bring upon themselves and visit upon others. Grrrrrrrr!

I went to Chick-Fil-a today. Normally, they are very good about getting everything I want into the bag and getting my drink without ice. Needless to say I had to go inside and have them fix a few things.

Sudden illness.
Fine yesterday, sore throat at about 10pm. Woke up feeling half dead.

People criticising a certain public figure for being "artificial" and "scripted".

I've mentioned before, I'm autistic. I have never had the instinct to make eye contact with people, but since I was a child I've been told that that creeps people out, so I forced myself to do it. I had an unusual way of walking and that made people uncomfortable so I learned to suppress that too. I have a standard email signoff that my boss suggested because my old one seemed too abrupt. I monitor myself to make sure I'm not talking too much about my current areas of focus because that seems weird to people. My partner has had similar experiences.

"Artificial and scripted" is how we get by in the world without being shoved to the margins and it's hard enough work already WITHOUT being told that we're bad people for making that effort, by the same folk who'd back away from us if we didn't do it.

*sigh*

Deep thoughts of a moment in time. Just popped into my head.. Out of The blue. Irked me to no end

There is this thing called etiquette. Most people don't know it and get confused when it is used. Some even feel inferior and lash out. It is more than table manners or how to sit. Those who don't understand something often make fun of it. My kid is autistic and I know that having those guidelines helps him a lot. Sadly the general population has no clue what they are.
FYI you are suppose to look people in the eye in our society. It is a sign of respect and self-confidence.

Yes, I do understand that this is an expectation, which is why I obey it. What I resent is people who require folk like me to make a lot of effort to act artificially, and then talk about how awful it is that some people are "artificial".

(Also, it's a stupid rule, because I'm much LESS likely to make eye contact with somebody if I respect and trust them. If I'm staring at a wall, it means I'm giving my full attention to what you're saying to me, or what I'm telling you, instead of diverting my processing power to monitoring social cues and translating my own feelings into somebody else's preferred body language.)

It's nice to think this is why my son doesn't look at me 90% of the time.

I didn't know this about you Bramble. Thank you for sharing. I have a son who is moderately autistic. You give me hope

Bramble's courageous sharing and NO's optimism have made this thread, which is about bad things that happen to people, an inspiring thing.

I have two autistic students in my classes and while they have different degrees of social comfort, they are both wicked smart, are doing well academically, and are liked and respected by their classmates. Neither makes eye contact during class, but both are articulate, even in English, which is their second language. So have hope, NO; good things can happen!

That's the third kinky friend to have had their fingers burned by so called Doms preying on the newbies.

Condescending fucking prick of a coworker gave me shit and questioned me as I'm trying to leave after having worked a fuck ton this week. I'm tired and I wanted to go home and I didn't need some asshole being a dick just to be a dick. Fucking dick.

Totally ruined my day, I was excited to leave work "early" aka after 8 hours, and I don't have another day off until Saturday and now I'm still fucking pissed and rageful. My afternoon was tainted by asshole.

The encouraging phrases on my cough drops are pissing me off.
