Re: The Vent Thread

It's scariest to me not only when things like this happen to people I knew, went to school with, etc., but when it's totally random like that and they didn't do anything to contribute to it because that's when it's easiest to imagine that it can happen to us or those closest to us.

Sorry, One-way. This is exactly why DUI is a big deal. Did the driver live? I don't know yet if I think it's a good or bad thing that the alcohol loosens these idiots up enough to be more likely to survive the crash. They don't get the sentences they deserve and I'm not entirely confident that having to live their lives knowing they killed someone is troubling enough for someone who doesn't value their life or anyone else's enough to not get in the car and drive in the first damn place.

Re: The Vent Thread

The drunk driver was with two friends during the crash. His two friends were killed, the driver survived. He's now in jail.

The drunk xxxxxxxs always survive. Pisses me off.
Accident deaths are so tragic and senseless.

Re: The Vent Thread

He's in jail, though. You could say that's a worse punishment. Dying, he gets off to easy. That's how I look at it anyway.

Re: The Vent Thread

it really bothers me, often I meet people who say, no matter how much they drink they are still ok to drive, and are surprised when I refuse to get in a car with them. I don't care how much you think you are OK to drive, you shouldn't drive.
It's the family of those innocent people that suffers in the end.

I guess you are right, being in Jail is worse off then him being dead.

Re: The Vent Thread

I can drive normal after I drink, but I don't do it.

After some things that have happened, I've changed a lot of my actions.

Tomorrow's the funeral. A lot of people are going to show up. R-Mean, if some of you know him, will be there, too. This guy was loved. Everybody knew him as one of the nicest guys ever.

Re: The Vent Thread

Why am I at work, on a Sunday?

I'm not gonna vent, but instead, I'm gonna [insert word which is opposite of vent here].

Friday night, I went to my sister's friend's birthday party. I was my cousin, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend. It was a bunch of people older than me, but it was still cool. Bunch of people knew me, I was like, "Right." Saw my sister's friend's cousin, who I knew. Supposedly, she liked me in the past, but I never thought anything of it. And now, I'm thinking I like her, but she was with some guy. Then I heard she was disappointed I didn't talk to her much, and that the guy she was with was a friend. Nothing else. We'll make that work later.

Came home at 3:30. Woke up for work at 6:30. Worked until 2:30, then went down to my new shop in Sunset, and worked there - installing the new computers. Came home around 6. Hung out with my family and my sister's boyfriend, then took a shower. Left to my sister's boyfriend's house around 9. Started drinking straight shots and watched Saw. It was us three, and the brother of the boyfriend and his friend. Drank a good amount, ate some pizza. My sister got drunk and started feeling real bad. Night was a drag. Got home around 2. Woke up at 8 for work. Now I'm here!

Re: The Vent Thread

Stupid manager.

Next Wednesday, my sister, her friends, my cousin, and I, are all going to another private screening of "Borat". And on Wednesday's, I work, and I have to close at 6, because my manager leaves at 5 for "school". So I told him today if he can close, because I had something to do, and he was like, "No. You can't mess with my Wednesday's. I need to go to school." For some reason, we think he's not at school when he says he is, but even so, he's gotta cover when needed. Regardless of reason. I cover for him so many times for nothing. I never ask for days off, or leave early.

Oh, well. Worth a try. He'll be covering me next month when I go to Vegas. I ain't messing with his Wednesday then. I'm messing with his precious Sunday!

Re: The Vent Thread

I'm upping this thread because for once, since 2006, I want to vent! I'll make it short and sweet.

I got in a car accident on May 24. It took over a month for the insurance agents to get an approval for the body shop's estimate -- $10,000. The lady who hit me, her insurance is paying. The agent told me I could get a rental and once I did, he told me I actually can't because she's only covered up to $10,000. There's no room for a rental.

I kept the rental because we had already paid for a week. In my apartment, I was using a parking space which one of the tenants rented to me. He's not a tenant, actually, he's apart of the Homeowners Association. He took away my spot because his son came back into town. Because of this, he gave me permission to park in any guest parking.

Today, my car was towed because it was parked in handicap parking. Anyway, we're not sure who towed it but we're pretty sure it was another member of the association. Now, I have to pay $200 to get a RENTAL back. I was so furious because I'm allowed to park there! And it's not as if we have any guests/handicap people in our building. We have 3-4 guest parking spaces and they make a big deal when we occupy them with our own cars. We do this for a few hours when we know we're gonna leave really quick.

BUT I WAS ALLOWED TO PARK THERE!!

I'm paying tomorrow but they'll be paying me back. It's not about the money, it's about sticking to your word.
