The Unhappy Thread

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Just bring a tire iron with you.

 

[joY]

Blerrrrrg, I have finals all this week for the end of my summer quarter at school. This means less Smash and more study. Very unhappy, indeed.

 

[Shorts]

Just bring a tire iron with you.

Bring a shotgun, mask, and Samurai Sword.

 

[Jasou]

That self-defeating feeling when you feel you don't have enough mental stamina and knowledge to take a class while doing well in your other classes ._.

 

[Sizzle]

The Japanese version of the Ring is much different than the American version. It is just generally creepy and gives you an uncomfortable feeling/ambiance throughout the whole thing. I don't think it's scary, but it is well made.

 

[Morin0]

Ringu, like many other Japanese movies, are way better than the American remakes.

Spoiler

imo : )

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is 7 Samurai better than the Magnificent 7?

Is Yojimbo better than A fistful of dollars?

I'd say they are all good in their own regards.

Though 7 Samurai is considered one of the most influential films of all time

 

[Sizzle]

I just watched Seven Samurai recently and it was really good. It's a bit long at 3.5 hours but it definitely deserves the praise that it receives, if you ask me.

Yeah I've noticed Japanese movies make it hard to sleep at night, and American movies make me jump at the moment. That's also how I hear Ju On is compared to The Grudge. I'll watch both since they're "classics". I should probably watch the original shutter too.

Also Noroi: The Curse is pretty much the best "Horror" or Scary movie I have ever seen. Paranormal Activity definitely took ques from it. Amazing movie. Same with the Korean Horror film "A Tale Of Two Sisters". Noroi is more interesting/frightening, and A Tale is interesting and frightning, yes, but it's visually striking. Exremely well made. If you ever watch it, you may need to look up a bit to realize EXACTLY what happened, but, some people can get it right off the bat. Both these movies are some of the best Asian Horror films of all time. I suggest them both highly.

A Tale is on Netflix, and Noroi The Curse can actually be found on youtube, complete, full, 720, not in parts. I have a link for anyone WHO DARES. MWAHAHA. I also have the link to Uzumaki, Ringu, Ringu 2, and Ringu 0: Birthday complete. And then I have the original One Missed Call link in parts. And Suicide Club as well.

Im going to bed now.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I'm sick and I wanna get better. :<

 

[Jasou]

I'm sick and I wanna get better. :<

Ik that feeling ._., I have to stay home today because of it. Which is rare for me to do, but i've been sick for 4 days now so I should just stay home.

Hope ya get better soon.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

It started last night and it has been with me today, I took some IBprofen so I can stand up without feeling dizzy.

[Froggy]

I am never buying unprocessed meat from Shoprite again, that's twice in a relatively short amount of time now it's gone bad.

 

[Cherished Doll]

Took my Little Kittens to get spayed today, it is so painful to watch them suffer and no being able to help them!. ;_;
They are both looking at me with sad little Eyes saying HELP ME as they cry and there is NOTHING i can do. ugghhhh

what a terrible day!

 

[Shorts]

Would you rather have them moaning all night and doing nasty things in your house? I do not enjoy cats who aren't fixed, and I love cats, but this is a small price to not be grossed out by your animals.

 

[Cherished Doll]

still extremely sad to see !

 

[Lore]

That's just a bit too in-depth, shortie.

Anyway, unhappy because the people outside have loud subs. >_<

 

[Segtendo]

Bah. I've applied for so many jobs, and only 2 have called back so far for interviews, yet I don't get the job.

Also, I'd love to have a girlfriend... *sigh*

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I don't know if i'm being selfish, or my gut is telling me something is wrong, but I really feel trapped in this ****ing house and no one could really care how I feel, and i'm extremely unsatisfied.

The job market the moment is tough, and being someone my age with no experience in sales besides doing charity work at the goodwill its hard for someone my age to get a job, so I went on general relief so that I can at least pay for somethings as long as a fork over half of what I got (i get 200 in cash and 200 in food stamps, so I fork over 100 of each,giving me a measly 200 a month). Some time down the line, still no job, but we are very broke and w turned into means of doing illegal things in order for us to get money, so the lady of the house decided to use my name and become an in-home care provider, she agreed to do the work. Little did I know that the people who payed me the general relief were also the same people who payed us for in-home care. Eventually the company found out that I am getting payed unemployment benefits while simultaneously being employed; this is illegal. So, they stop giving me my benefits because of this, and by this time, the in-home care job had ended so we were on an even greater shortage of money. Somehow, I get the blame that this is my fault and I am told to get a job to cover myself.

Unfortunately, I wanted to take summer classes to catch up on credits I missed in college, but the lady of the house insisted that I did not take the summer classes and look for work. Despite me pleading how much I needed these classes she still insist that I give up my "pipe dream" and get a job. After 2-3 months of looking for a job I am unsuccessful, all while being yelled at and constantly walking on egg shells about how lazy I am despite the fact that I am actively looking. Fortunately, I got a phone message from subway asking me if I wanted a job interview, but I was too late since I got the message 3 days later. I am using the lady's phone because I can't afford one. I call the Subway to find out that my opportunity was passed up, and i'm furious. If the owner of the house really wanted me to get a job she would have checked her messages and informed me immediately, but instead she shrugs it off and says "oh well" when it was her fault that I couldn't get the job since she gave me the message 3 days too late. Time went by and I got yelled at for that too when it wasn't in my control. After my unsuccessful attempt the owner insisted insisted that I walked around my neighborhood (Which is dirt poor and smack dab in the ghetto by the way) and filled out applications and talked to people in person. I respond "No one locally is hiring, and all applications are processed online). I still get yelled at and told that i'm acting like a child. So I go out and walk around in my flip flops and casual clothes (I don't have enough money to buy nice clothes since every penny goes to her). Despite me walking to every local business I still get yelled at for not magically getting a job.

So then the lady insist that I file for unemployment since we would get a great amount of back pay for the in-home care work she did. After jumping through all the hoops we are successful and we are getting a steady flow of money now. I'm happy since I genuinely care for this family despite the fact that they show me the opposite. As we start getting the money the stupid overspending starts. The owner spends 600 dollars on her spoiled-***, bratty, foul mouthed son just for back to school clothing, then she proceeds to spend 65 dollars on fast food, all of which goes away in a single day. the next day we go to a buffet and spend 75 on our dinner, simply because she doesn't feel like cooking, when she could have easily asked me to cook since I do it so frequently.

So after being broke for the entire summer, not taking classes because the owner says so and just being generally depressed over me wasting my ****ing time, I finally started school today and it feels great to get out of this house. While i'm at school I run into a friend who offered me a job, which made me all the happier. I rush home to tell the news, only to be told "No, you can't get a job, that ship sailed" reason being that "The unemployment you receive is way more than you would make than the job you would get". Now here is the kicker, I know that I owe her 4 months back pay, essentially 800 dollars. The amount of money we get for unemployment every month is 1500 dollars. Basically, I already payed her back and then some. Now she tells me "What job can you make that will pay me 1500 or more a month? You can take the job if you made...lets say, 3,400 a month, which I highly doubt:. Basically, my rent is essentially goes up to 1,500 a month, while everyone else in the house still pays their normal 2-300 a month. I could see I know the owner did the work, I know she isn't obligated to give me anything, but she isn't even willing to give me anything out of what she is getting at all. She then tells me "You got financial aid so all you gotta do is worry about yourself, just go to school and do your thing. This family deserves this money and there is no way i'm going to let it go because you want a job all of the sudden".

This whole time I thought she wanted me to get a job so that I can become a self sufficient person, like she always preached to me about being. Now all I feel is that i'm just a mule to get money in this house. So, what are the plans with the money so far? To get her daughter a car so she can drive to her job, the one that was handed to her by the owners friend. The owner of the house is also getting a new Car, and things in the house will be replaced and renovated. I get no mention in the money what so ever. Despite the fact that I did chores, garden work in the hot sun, and cleaned for days at different peoples houses and scrapped together the little money I could and gave it to her. I know it wasn't much that I gave but I was out of options until school started and I could pay her back. Oh, did I mention that she still wants some money from my financial aid despite the fact that she already got her back pay? ****ed up right?

I get that I need to pay rent, and I truly do care for this family since i've known them for so long, but honestly me living here isn't helping me in the least. I can't get a job, effectively rendering me helpless without a life yet again. I can't save money because all of its going to her, which means no car, no going out, nothing, that is until this unemployment runs out. I had planned on finding a job by the time my friend got back from his internship so that me, him and a friend of mine could all get a place together since we are all sensible and responsible with money. Even when I received only 200 a month, I made it last for everything I needed until the end of the month, vs. the owner who would probably spend it in a matter of days. Whether it be on junk food or alcohol so that she can go on a drunken rage/mood swing and pass out.

You're probably thinking "There has to be some benefits to living there, right?". Hell no. I have to share a room with a bratty 12 year old ******* child who is always poking around through my ****. I have to put up with him and his foul mouth friends or any children that i'm forced to baby sit on a regular basis. Any time I would get mad at him or do something she would insist that i'm acting like a child, when in reality the lady should discipline her son. I've caught him with lighters and blunt wrappers, walking around the hood calling saying "bluud", and just hanging round terrible people, but when I say something to the mother she completely denies it. Several of my game controllers and my DSi came up missing because of this damn kid, but when I tell someone in the house they respond "It's just a game". If it's just a game then give me 200 dollars and buy me a ****ing new one?

The owners daughter has a job, but it is extremely easy. She gets days off, a ride to work every day, and she stills gets to party on weekends. Her girlfriend, who lives here is teaching her to drive so that she can get a car and do stuff on her own. She has had several lessons, while I can count the lessons I receive in driving on one hand despite the fact that I was promised that we would be learning on the same pace. The lessons that I do receive are extremely brief and only happen when we are on our way back home, I get 2 minutes of driving basically. Afterwords I am told "You're gonna have to get lessons from someone else", after my first lesson in months. I can understand that your girlfriend gets priority, but no one else has a car, and i'm broke, so what am I supposed to do? It's an extremely *** backwards situation considering that she is willing to drive to another city to get some ****ty fast food but is unwilling to spend 5 minutes to help me learn to drive. Some friend. She is 28 years old and she doesn't even pay her own phone bill; her parents in Florida are the ones paying for her god damn iphone. On top of that she doesn't even work to get money, she gets it from this random Mexican dude for some reason that she neglects to mention.

I have virtually no say so in this house, even when I mention a personal issue it is easily ignored and proposed that "i'm just imagining things" or "i'm paranoid". I'm conspicuously used to help do stupid acts of labor and talked to only when I am needed. When I offer to help it is unwanted and i'm shunned, but when they want it they'll insist that I offer to help and drop anything that I have going on. After all who cares what I'm doing, right? I can't even eat food without being told "Save some for later", "don't eat it all", "you're being greedy" or "save some for the girls". In the end the food ends up sitting there and gets wasted because i'm told not to eat it, so the owner gets mad. Her daughter and her girlfriend always eat out so that goes wasted. I'm being called greedy when i'm actually just hungry. I'll eat a bowl of cereal and get hungry and get something to eat in a couple of hours and i'll get asked "didn't you just eat a bowl of cereal? You aren't hungry, let the food sit in your stomach for a while". This misconception is coming from the fact that she somehow believes we share the same metabolism. She is a 40 year old 5'6 woman, i'm a 22 year old 6'2 thin man. I think my body demands more food than yours.

Every day I am faced with negative condescending bull****, and it really gets me down. If I say "I'm good at computers, I think I can work here" she tells me with this irritating fake smirk "No you can't, with what experience? You need to quit chasing this pipe dream and get a regular job". I offer to fix something that I KNOW I can fix I am told "No, i;ll just wait for someone else to do it, I don't want you to end up breaking anything". I know i'm too old to care about what people think but when the people you care about basically dismiss you and your capabilities it hurts. It's enough I gotta deal with the feminist BS in this house but as the only 'man' in this house i'm neglected the needs of a man; Space, food and the need to help others. I can't take this **** anymore, and I honestly am starting to care less whether or not this family suffers without me. This scares me more than anything since i've never felt such resentment towards my immediate family. I thought I was here to help this family, but now I feel like i'm just a walking wallet.

Technically, I shouldn't be here, and I am grateful that I have a roof under my head, but at the cost of my privacy, the general lack of respect and being unable to find work is really stressing me out. I have a real brother who i need to help, and i need to start thinking about my needs. I'm 22 years old and I feel like i'm being held back over greed. The family i'm living with is the family of my Best friend, who moved away at the age of 15 to start a life in Missouri. I always wondered why he left, but i'm starting to understand. The suffocation and lack of freedom was too much. Am I being selfish? Should I potentially jeopardize this families financial situation for the sake of me improving myself? Rather, why should I care considering the family was doing fine without the little income i wasn't bringing in for 4 months?

I'm really confused, but one hing is for certain: I want out of this bull****. Every day i'm feeling more like how they feel about me.

**** all of that, Eternal. Seriously. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

I only read through about half of your post, but what's keeping you there? If your unemployment is paying you 1500 a month(which is impressive), then that's enough to make rent elsewhere. Paying 2000$ for rent, with a room you share is way out of the ordinary. There is no reason why you can't find a room for yourself for less than 700$.

My advice to you is to leave that house, it doesn't matter how much you care about them, it simply is not in your best interest to stay there. Granted, I am only going off what you have written there, but you've made it clear that it is overly expensive, no plus side, and you're unhappy. So why are you staying there?

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Well Froggy, the unemployment she is getting is under my name, but she did do the work so naturally it is hers, I just don't believe that my payment minimum should escalade from 200 a month to 1500 a month. Even if I were to have a job her plan would be just to take all my money, but she knows she wouldn't have complete control of it, so even if I were to make all more than 1500 dollars she wouldn't like it because I would have rightful control, meaning that I would pay her what I owe and nothing more. She can't have that apparently.

I'm staying here because I truly do care for the family and the kid. Despite him being a brat he really does look up to me and I've known him since he was born. He would probably do worse if I wasn't around. I really should leave though. The things I said earlier only scratch the surface of the bull**** I had to deal with here. I can go on, but the point has been made.

I really don't need to be here. Her son left home, she can't keep a man because of her control issues and even her other son is slowly receding from her grip. I don't know what's wrong but she clearly doesn't understand men that well, but I digress.

I really don't know what to think, but I do believe there is a point in time where I have to think about what I want, and it's creeping up on me.

Well Froggy, the unemployment she is getting is under my name, but she did do the work so naturally it is hers, I just don't believe that my payment minimum should escalade from 200 a month to 1500 a month. Even if I were to have a job her plan would be just to take all my money, but she knows she wouldn't have complete control of it, so even if I were to make all more than 1500 dollars she wouldn't like it because I would have rightful control, meaning that I would pay her what I owe and nothing more. She can't have that apparently.

I'm staying here because I truly do care for the family and the kid. Despite him being a brat he really does look up to me and I've known him since he was born. He would probably do worse if I wasn't around. I really should leave though. The things I said earlier only scratch the surface of the bull**** I had to deal with here. I can go on, but the point has been made.

I'm not quite getting it, the unemployment cannot be under your name and be naturally hers at the sametime. What do you mean she did the work, you mean the paper work? Because you should not feel obligated to her over that. She is taking advantage of you. It's not very complicated, she is pleasing her needs at the expensive of yours. She sounds like a total *****.

I'm guessing you're an Adult and I'm sure you're smart enough to make your own decisions. But I'd just like to say don't be afraid of change. If you're afraid of leaving simply because you've been there for so long then don't be. You are in a bad situation. It may not feel this way, but looking at it objectively you are bound to be in a better position if you do leave. And if you really are staying for the kid, then I'd advise you to question whether or not he needs you because he looks up to you and trusts you, or if it's you who needs him because he looks up to you, trusts you and you want to feel wanted.

Thanks for your advice man. I never really about my relationship to the kid in that way, and you're right. She is kind of a *****. When I needed to go to the police station she made me walk around town in the blazing heat because she "didn't want anyone to see her in her dirty car". I had to sit outside her house for 12 hours because I didn't have a key and she told me "not my problem". The only times I can recall her being nice are when all of her needs are being met. She's proven herself to be a hypocrite on so many occasions it's ridiculous. I can't believe i've dealt with this bull**** while she spoon fed me the idea that I had nowhere else to go.

I have a lot of thinking to do. Once again, thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

It sounds like she's not worth it.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Eternal, get out of there.

That isn't a healthy living situation. You do an unfair amount of work for people who have no respect for you. Who is she to tell you that you aren't allowed to get a job? Why can't you eat food that your money probably payed for?

Don't feel bad for leaving. You tried....but they took advantage of you.

 

[Froggy]

@Eternal No problem. And Eternal you said you were grateful that they gave you a rood over head but you shouldn't be. They are charging you overly expensive rent, it's very blatant exploitation. They aren't doing anything you should be grateful for. I'd advise you to leave before your unemployment runs out.

I e-mailed my ***** of a mom asking her when I'm going to get the money she owes me, and she changes the subject mentioning that she got a call about where I left my phone. I could care less about my phone, give me my money you ho. (I have never liked my mom)

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Still sick only I threw up this time :/

 

[Teran]

Man throwing up is the worst.

I have a stomachache, I'm gonna go buy some charcoal.

 

[Jasou]

Aw dam, throwing up sucks. I just have my sore throat and massive congestion left but i'll be fine.

@Eternal, sorry I could only read some parts of your vent, but I'd like to give you sympathy on living with that 12 year old. Omg I would hate being around someone like that. I also hope your other issues get better, it sounds like your really stressed.

 

[-LzR-]

It's been almost 3 months and I am still jobless. Losing motivation to even bother looking anymore. All my friends and relatives are already in school/work or something while I slack off doing nothing. Everyone tells me to get a job and my mom is also incredibly pissed and wants me to earn my own money because she cannot afford us both. **** sux.

 

[M@v]

Well, this was an interesting evening. For one, I now know how it feels to be going down the highway at 45mph.....sideways. We had an accident on the highway coming back from kentucky. Everyone's alright, and we will be on the road again tomorrow morning. Btw, everyone in Kentucky is so nice. "Southern Hospitality" couldn't be more true.

 

[Jasou]

That does sound very interesting o_o, it's great that no one was injured.

 

[M@v]

Well my back's sore and I smacked my head off the right side of the roof as we whiplashed the car back to center and under control again lol. But I feel fine now. I wasn't incoherent or anything like that, no bad symptoms. Just had a sore head for a couple hours. Ibuprofen, eating dinner, and some time in the hotel hot tub solved that problem =).

 

[Shorts]

Better to throw up than be sick all night. Whenever I drink or do other stuff, or eat too much, if I feel like I'm gonna be sick all night I just puke it all up. Would rather hate life for three minutes, and feel fine the rest of the night than deal with the "Uuuuuugh, don't TOUCH ME, I have a stomach ache" feeling. Especially when sharing a bed.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Sitting at boyfriend's house being super delirious because we made a trip to Pittsburgh so I could see college friends and work out housing for next quarter and back to Cleveland within less than 12 hours time with little food or rest when suddenly i get a text from mom saying she hurt her toe and needs bandaids

We look for some at boyfriend's and can't find any

So I tell my mom and suddenly i get a pleasant text:
No I was desperate but forget it. It's too hard to ask u to ask someone for help

Wait
Woah woah woah

What?

Then I get home and ofc I run my mouth since I have a short fuse. But, I tried my best to keep it along the lines of how disappointed I was in her since we tried to help

'it was soooo difficult to ask for help?'

WE SPENT THE TIME LOOKING FOR BANDAGES FOR YOU

So I get yelled at and grounded from the car because my mom hurt her toe and decided to be *****

Called her a ***** though. Bad idea. But man she deserves it.

Ugh. Pissed.
(and I know I should hold my tongue. I'm just too tired to care to do so. I drove both trips today and I'm worn out)

 

[M@v]

^At least you didn't have an accident like me haha. But yeah short fuses happen sometimes =3

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Almost did actually xD;;; idiot decided to try and merge into my car.
Luckily we saw her. Phew.

But I hope you guys are feeling okay dude
Accidents suck
