You are definitely better than this guy. Find someone who appreciates you.

My car broke down on Saturday morning on the way to buy some last minute Christmas gifts. It took my insurance company roadside assistance 48 hours to find a tow truck so my car didn’t get towed until yesterday.

I was supposed to drive back to DC yesterday. Now my car has been in the shop for a day and they never even ran a diagnostic yesterday.

So my trip has been extended a day after starting 2 days early due to my grandmother dying. It’s been a long 2 weeks. And I gotta work this week.

My relatives' dog, who I've known for years, freaked out when I walked in the door and attacked me. Now I've got quite a few bites on my legs and arms.

Thankfully one of my family members is a surgeon and he stitched me up so I didn't have to pay an out-of-network urgent care bill.

Really? I'm glad you're OK, but what an awkward situation

Thanks. Everybody feels awful about it, and I don't blame them. The dog has never bitten anyone before so it's a real head-scratcher.

They should maybe take him to the vet; something may be going on with his health. One of the places where I used to ride, one of the instructors had a big goofy black lab who loved everybody—until he was running around the back deck, slipped and ran head first into a retaining wall. Immediate personality change towards non-family: growling, snapping, hackles up, snarling, the whole shebang. I don’t think he ever bit anyone, but he damn sure threatened for several months. I figure he concussed himself or something.

Well apparently one of our pipes burst while most of us are traveling.

I've been waking up at 4am the last few days for no reason. Then it takes me two hours to get back to sleep, then I wake up late. Ugh!

That happens to me often. That's why I make sure my earbuds are charged, so I just put on WAMU and usually fall back asleep

My mom who is visiting told me I was disrespectful to her because I curse when she is around. She's been calling me a bitch to my face since I was a teenager. I'm in my 30s now 🙃

I just got a new job in Congress Heights that I'm totally over the moon about but people can't seem to stop telling me about how terrible the neighborhood/SE generally is; I mean someone's first response to hearing about my job was to tell me about how a friend of theirs got mugged in Congress Heights. I don't even start until July and I'm already feeling territorial over it!

Had another package stolen. 2 in the last two weeks. This was a gift to the GF which is beyond frustrating. First one was a gift to me from my parents and luckily that was sorted out real quick but still shit sucks.

Might be worth investing in one of those one-way parcel boxes. Porch piracy is low-effort crime of opportunity, so mild deterrent would likely go a long way.
