Tuesday, September 25, 2007 @ 9:30 am So on my drive home from class today, I was stopped at a red light at the intersection of two one-way streets, waiting to make a left turn. There was a car in the far lane coming into the intersection, but since I was waiting to turn into the close lane I decided to go for it. Next thing I know, this bitch is honking her horn and swerving around me, flipping me off. The gall of this woman--to try to pin this near-accident on me! SHE was the one in the far lane; SHE was the one who didn't signal her intent; SHE was the one who almost hit MY car, and not the other way around! I thought about following her to scare the shit out of her, maybe jumping her when she got out of her car and socking her in the face. Sometimes, I absolutely HATE how we have to remain civil when we have clearly been wronged. Sometimes I think that we're actually making ourselves psychologically unhealthy when we hold these murderous impulses in and allowing them to fester until you want to amputate your own limbs just to have a weapon with which to engage the other person in combat. Thank goodness for blogs, I guess, without which I would be stewing in my anger all day. (But yeah, I hope this woman gets her tubes tied just so she doesn't risk bringing into this world another generation of shitty drivers; the world is already oversaturated with them as we speak.) Anyway, when I got home, my cousin's car was still here. Still frustrated, I couldn't help but think about the last few weeks and how my mom is getting completely fed up with my cousin. First of all, she tried to hide her pregnancy from us. Like we wouldn't notice the 7 pound miniature human being popping out of her vagina and keeping us awake at all hours of the early morning. Then, my mom found out that my cousin is resigning from her new job as an LVN at a local hospital, after FINALLY passing her boards after however many fucking years its been. So not only does my cousin have a BABY growing inside of her, but also, apparently, no income. And she still has credit cards to pay off, and she needs to come up with some form of monetary contribution to my family who has been letting her stay here rent free for like 8 or 9 years now, and I'm just sick and tired of her shit. How's she going to buy baby stuff--charge it on her maxed out credit cards? And how will she pay those off? She will soon have no more job, and her husband is in the middle of studying for a physical therapist licensing exam, so it will be a while before he has one. Is she going to mooch off my parents? Our aunties? She already has had too many handouts. And there's nothing we can really do about it. We can't kick her out--even if she is a bitch, she's still family, and she's still pregnant, and we can't tell a pregnant woman to fuck off because that baby didn't choose to be conceived in the womb of a stupid bitch like her. The best we can do is tolerate this bullshit until she DOES get her life back on track and starts repaying us for all the crap we've done for her and I can't type anymore because I'm afraid I'll break the keyboard... Ugh. These things completely overshadow the joy that I felt when I learned I had the second highest grade on my virology exam in a class with about 40 undergrads and 10 graduate students in it. This does wonders for my confidence, but right now, all I want to do is strangle someone. I'm done. 2 Comments. I was going to say that the driver sounded asian, but asian women don't use the horn... do they? Maybe there's something you could do to get your cousin to stop mooching? Like... she has to earn her keep. Clean house or something. I dunno. » randomjunk on 2007-09-25 04:33:43 Hey.. Asians dont drive like asses... Not all of them... some still do.. LOL Anyway.. Calm down.. I dont know what to say about your cousin but the wreck of a driver really should be taught a lesson » Xboyz on 2007-09-26 05:18:18
