Most common vents for you

I see alot of people vent(including me ) and I thought we can really think about what is usually making us unhappy. We can learn more about each other, and comfort each other right here. Not to mention let off a little steam.

Don't worry, I deleted it for you

My biggest vents are work related, especially now at grant time. My boss poorly plans his time and expects us to break our backs when deadlines loom, many of the people I work with can't keep the lab clean (a big deal, since we work with cells that could become contaminated), most don't care. Oh, and did I mention the time the "boys" spend onlline looking at personal ads from models in Poland? Yeah, work is my most common thread.

My most common vents are definitly family related, but I do admit I vent about almost everything under the sun!

I voted other. I don't really get annoyed by much at all. My hubby finds me (irritatingly) calm. Although I can understand why others get annoyed. Now you can see why he gets so irritated - I always see both sides of the argument . Hubby on the other hand, is easily irritated by other drivers, people who block aisles in supermarkets, ill-disciplined children, inconsiderate neighbours etc etc etc.

It does have downsides though, because I tend to get disappointed by people. Always wanting to see the best in folks means that when they do something to demonstrate that not all humans are nice people, I get sad

Not that I bear grudges , but once somebody has gone as far as to prove they are not a nice human, it's very difficult for them to recover my faith in them

Thanks for deleting that for me.

Oh no! Sounds like a real struggle. I would talk to your boss. Tell him how you feel. I always do with teachers, and sometimes even the principal. Its not fair you have to work so hard because your boss isn't organized enough. As for your partners at work, Here's a little something for them:




School is also one of the worst things for me. I put family, because my parents talk about me where I can hear them, they yell at me, and sometimes my dad even punches me if angry enough. ( )

I'm glad to hear you don't vent often. I on the other hand, do so much with my family, and sometimes my friends, everyone gets annoyed with me. You sound like a wonderful person. I can understand how you feel about people like that.

Examples:

Animal abusers, Hitler, etc.

I'm glad you don't get mad. Being sad is better then mad when it comes to venting.

Jenny - you're so sweet - thankyou

But, I'm sure venting has it's upsides too. There are times I feel that if I just had a good SCREAM I might feel better. At least people who vent do have their equivalent of a good scream.

If you feel so badly about something it's better to let it out and I bet your family agree. We are a total package - the things others find annoying are the flipside of something beautiful about us. So don't change anything about yourself.

More hugs for you Beth. What you just said....

Ilovecats, Please tell me that you are not a young girl...(not that it would make it better if you were a boy)
Too many things make me angry, & that is one of them.
It makes me wonder about these abusive people. Most of them do their awful things behind closed doors. I wonder what would happen if the truth came out, like at their jobs. If I knew that one of the guys at work punched his kid when angry, I'd shame him right out of there. I'm a skinny girl with a big, fearless mouth, & vent often!
I believe that more of us should do the same, when we see something wrong.
Please hang in there! Get a good education, & get the heck out.

For me, it's mostly random things that happen out in public more than family or work/school issues.

And I'm sorry, but, he *punches* you? That is abuse, and you should report it. How terrible, I'm so sorry.

Work definately work. I have been here for 12 years and I hate it. I hate having to be away from my furkids 14 hours a day. I hate never getting a raise. I hate-hate-hate it! Phew, that felt good.

I voted other because I couldn't vote for all.

There is nothing particularly bad about any of those things for me. But it just seems like the little things all add up and I get so stressed out.

I am planning for a nice vacation sometime in May/June -- I need a mental break!

I absolutely agree. This is never appropriate, ever!

It is NICE to be able to vent here.
It feels like family.

Jenny, this is very true... Im sorry, but please talk to someone about this ok? A teacher at school you trust maybe?




And to answer the poll, I picked other because I can vent about anything under the sun

People that indulge in disgusting habits in public send me straight up the wall! I was in an office today and this man was smacking so loudly on a huge wad of gum that I could hear it 30 feet away. I seriously wanted to walk right up to him and backhand across his filthy mouth. Nail biting makes me furious. My sister did it just to annoy me when we were growing up, and I once broke 4 of her fingers. I fired more that 1 person for doing either of these things when I was in management, and gave them a terrible reference when called for another job.
Stupid people annoy me almost as badly, as do people that allow their children to run wild in public.
People that have loud booming stereos, blaring offensive so-called lyrics also *isses me off. I absolutely HATE rap and hip-hop! I won't even call that garbage music.
Gee! I feel better! Thanks!

It sounds like you work for a place similar to mine. I am an admin staff at a biomedical research institute (I do HR actually). Today, begin Feb. 1, was total insanity due to all the grant submissions going out. Actually, it's been crazy for the last week. While I'm not directly involved, the high tension is definitely part of my day because people come to me so often... I hate grant deadlines!
