I'm surrounded by assholes and I've been awake for way too long and also I'm super hungry and I need to make dinner but I'm not sure I can stay awake for it and also there are some shows I want to watch on tonight just to kind of turn off my brain and not have to think about certain things which I want to do because I know if I just go to bed right now it's all still going to be on my mind and I'll have bad dreams and sleep horribly but I also don't know if I can stay awake long enough to distract myself and probably none of this makes any sense and everything sucks and what is life omg

A few days ago I went to the theatre and in the seat next to me was a very smelly old man who ate peanuts while talking to me so he kept spitting little bits of peanut onto my shoulder

Also at one point he asked what suburb I live in

:[

Been there, anon. Sorry. I hate when my thoughts refuse to get off the merry go round of suck.

Also yesterday I was woken up at 3:00 am by a text from a crazy ex friend of my dead mom, asking if I’d go to the opera with her. I won’t even speak to her or be in the same room with her because she’s a creep who once gave me a ride to high school and told me “I’m naked under this bathrobe” as I was getting out of the car, has stuck her hands down my pants and goosed me, and just generally been disgusting since I hit puberty. She once told my mom “I’m (my name’s) real family.”

I wish I could block her number but she sometimes tries to “check up on me” in person and if she texts that she’s on her way to my house I make sure to leave the house or lock all my doors, windows, and gates and leave the lights off. I’ve told her “leave me alone, we’re not friends, you’re gross” to her face and she still occasionally decides we’re gonna be “friends.”

Restraining order time!

AYRT—I helped my mom get one against my dad and it was stressful as fuck and no help at all, until my dad dove through someone else’s window wearing body armor and carrying an illegally modified to be fully automatic rifle loaded with armor piercing rounds. Then>/i> the cops took him seriously and put him in jail.

Also she hasn’t come inside my yard or house since my mom died and it became my house. If she tries, then I’ll call the cops. Previous experience of law enforcement puts them firmly in “the cure is as bad as the disease” territory for me.

SA—Ack sorry broken html.

You would be shocked and disheartened at how hard it is to get one of those. I had an ex that was legit stalking me; I had all kinds of texts and letters and my firm refusals of all of them IN WRITING, I had cameras at my front and back doors that showed him prowling around the sidewalks at LEAST once weekly, I had people at my workplace who knew him and sequestered me away if they saw him and they were willing to vouch for me, but because he never got “violent” or actually violated my private space (i.e. he was on the sidewalk, not on my front porch), they couldn’t do anything.

It wasn’t until he actually broke into my house (and THANKFULLY there was a patrol car that was close enough to reroute to me that they showed up before he could make a break for it) that they finally “had enough to go on.”

And it’s STILL not foolproof. He breaks it every so often. He went to jail once, but mostly they just send someone out to shoo him off if he hasn’t gone away on his own.

Restraining orders aren’t useless, but they’re not really that helpful either.

Anon with the crazy 3am text stalker here and I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Yeah, restraining orders aren’t super easy to get and even once you’ve got one you still end up having to call the cops to get them to show up, the same way you would without the order, only maybe a bit faster if you’re lucky.

ugh, creepy

That's gross and I'm sorry you have to put up with this.

My parents asked me not to listen to the messages on the answering machine since it is their phone first, and there might be private sensitive info. Fine. But my dad hasn't been listening to the messages. He calls me at 7 tonight to say that the place I interviewed at left a message yesterday. Argh.

Yeah, that's not reasonable. Not that I'm surprise, because very little you've ever said about your parents sounds reasonable. You live there, it's your phone, too. This goes double when it comes to job hunting. Is there any way you can get an inexpensive cell and use that number instead?

My cat might have diabetes. If he does, we're gonna have to put him to sleep.
He's seventeen, he's had a good run, but my god I love that cat so fucking much I can't stand the thought of losing him and I'm just crying about it right now fuck

I'm so sorry, nonny. I know it's not much comfort but I'm sure you gave him a good, happy life and he is lucky to have you.

Ordered book.
Wait for book.
Wait seems long.
Check tracking number.
Tracking number INCEPTION: sent in England, one English tracking number, then it ended up in Germany, different German tracking number; finally arrives in Austria, Austrian tracking number, which says... "yes, we tried to deliver at your place but you weren'T home, so you can pick it up at this package station" dated YESTERDAY.
Now, I work from home. I am literally ALWAYS HOME during any normal time for a delivery guy. There was never a note in my mailbox to say "we tried but you were out. So yeah, I believe they flat our lied to be lazy and make me come to then. And I go there.
And I ask for my package.
And he straight up tells me "oh, THAT. We had that since Sept. 20th. But you didn't come to get it, so we sent it back this morning. But here, call this number, and maybe they'll still be able to give it to you."
What.
The.
ACTUAL
Fuck.
Spend AGES on hold. And then, after I explain, this (to be fair, quite competent) but SERIOUSLY condescending woman tells me, well, they expect customers to check the tracking numbers and pick things up in a timely manner. And I tell her, okay, but I am not the customer. The person who SENT This to me is your customer, and he sent it through royal mail and has no idea you EXIST (this is a private ebay seller). Long story short, she says they'll make an EXCEPTION and try to deliver it again tomorrow.
The kicker? She makes me repeat ALL the information over their crummy connection. I mean, they have the tracking number which should have all the information with it. But she'S like "where is this supposed to go? Is that a house or an appartment? Spell your name again? And again to confirm?"
I am VERY annoyed.
And am going to camp out in my front yard tomorrow until my stupid expensive book arrives.
