Venting thread...

... for all your venting needs.

Minor thing, but we just found out the spa we've got appointments at for this weekend is one of the few remaining businesses that charges a surcharge for using credit cards. I honestly thought only tiny businesses still did this.

Much bigger gripe, will keep short due to political nature. But it is pissing me off how difficult ICE is making it to get clients out of detention. Even when we win bond cases or when we get their cases terminated and they are no longer in court. It used to be they would at least obey judges. Now they don't care. Just so fucking infuriating.

My venting needs are so extensive it is not even possible to put them all in here.

Supervisor at work is 100% aware that an employee is not doing their job, is a negative, toxic, and sometimes manipulative person toward and around our individuals (developmental and physical disabilities), one in particular, and YET.... Just scheduled them for a frigging 12 hour shift where it will be just that staff and that individual. For FUCK'S SAKE.
It's just so frustrating.

they are putting in a new electrical system in my apt bldg and some people's power will be out for from 6 to 12 hours. I hope I'm not one of those people, especially since everybody's food will have to go from their own fridge to some other random fridge for that time period.

Food should be fine in a closed fridge for 12 hours?

Forget extensive venting needs. It can be short and sweet. I had a really bad experience that I refuse to talk about publicly after having a really bad experience that's a bit confidential. Like government confidential sort of.

Both involved part Japanese people being racist except one had the added semiotics of a tall blonde guy - suspiciously so - trying to sound sneakily racist like the evil more gay person behind the evil gay person y'know

I'm okay. I just bought my first booze and am doing my best to not drown in benzos before going back to work but I'm definitely okay trust me :) at least my dreams of running away from people with knifes helped me in case of an armed fight lmaooooooooo

You know what I hate? When I'm just trying to talk and have a conversation and the person I'm talking to responds with unaskedfor advice. I understand (especially with people I've built some closeness with) helping a friend when you hear them talk about a problem/issue and you think "oh I have some insight on this, let me give some help/advice/tips I myself have come across".
But I hate when every comment I make is followed up with "well why don't you..."/ "I would do this or that"/ "do this".
It makes me feel like the person I'm talking to is simply being dismissive. They cannot for even just a few moments de-center themselves so to make it about them they will hand out advice and feel satisfied that they gave me a moment of attention before switching their and my attention onto them because God forbid they not be the main character.

Sometimes I just want to talk about what's on my mind. If I want advice, I'd ask. Otherwise, sometimes I just want to spend a few moments to talk about something on my mind.

With people I trust, I know I can say something along the lines of "Thanks for the advice, but can I just talk about my thing for a moment? I'm not looking for advice or a solution."
With some people, I learned that if I tell them that I don't want their advice they can take it really personally and get snippy/rude.
Unfortunately I can't just stop interacting with every difficult person I come across so I just...have to learn what people are like and accept it.
If I feel like I have to navigate around someone and avoid a lot of topics/word things carefully, I will keep interactions as short as possible.

I get you, nonny. I think it's human nature that people go into problem solving mode when they hear about a problem, but it can be really aggravating when you just want someone to listen sympathetically so you can get it off your chest.

I read a quote once that really stuck with me: "Unsolicited advice is implied criticism". That rings true, IMO.
