What Happens When You: Work, Date, And Try To Stay Away From Crazies
It all goes horribly wrong.
Namely this is a shout out to my ex (who I turned off notifications on, but that safety alert still shows up).
I am about to post I am safe on my couch eating potato chips. Maybe I will put an amber alert on myself too.. or at least get a life alert. Yeah I need a life alert, except there is an age restriction on those (ageism at its finest) Though I really believe "I'm safe" is a really useful Facebook tool when there are really big events - Just the wrong people use it especially after the news posts the victims. If I wanted to know I would be sending you a text. Just some morning mulling as I sip my $7 dollar tea at a hipster coffee shop (yeah I should have looked at the prices before I ordered it.. I almost choked when I saw the bill). Now I am just going to sit here until this place closes because I earned my spot here. So yeah, today I am a bit salty.

SO SO SOOOO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH THIS.
I get a facebook messenger request from this 36 year old lady, who is a family friend's daughter. I haven't seen or spoken to this lady in over 20 years. Lady: "Hi, it's been a while. I think I have something of your's." Me, super confused, because I haven't had any contact with her or her family in a very, very long time: "Hi, yes it has been. What's up." Lady: "Can I have your address, I want to ship you something." Me in my mind - "Heck, no. I am not giving you my address. This sounds like a scam - is this even her?!" Me via iMessage: "Whatever it is don't worry about it. Just please recycle whatever it is." Lady: "It is a notebook. I'd like to send it to you." Me: "I appreciate it, but don't worry about it." Lady: "Are you sure?" Me (I'm thinking why is she being so persistent. It must be a scam): "All good here, thank you, but honestly don't worry about it." Lady: "Your mother sent my 2 year old daughter this notebook. I think it is your diary from 2005." Me in my mind - F*CK! That sounds like something my mother would do. Me:"PLEASE RECYCLE IT." Lady: "Are you sure? I know diaries can be sentimental." Me: "That was my diary either my last year of high school or my first year of college. I don't want to know what I was like back then. PLEASE RECYCLE." Lady: " Okay no worries, just wanted to make sure. We will use this journal, thanks!" Me in my mind - GAAHHHHH!!!!! 1) Why is my mother regifting an 11 year old notebook?!?!?!?!?!?! 2) Why didn't she at least skim through it before sending it 3) How did she even know it was my diary? Let alone know it was a diary and the date - AKA SHE READ IT. 4) Whatever I was doing my last year of high school or first year of college - NO ONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. 5) Why are you going to reuse the notebook when I say throw it the eff out?! 6) Lady's sister who is my age was going to visit her that week (she told me that in a later text): I would totally be reading the diary out with her and laughing. I emailed my mother after and told her going forward before she regifts something she should really verify if it is something that can be regifted. Her response, "Oops. It's okay because I am old and older people do these things." GAH! Why is my family so good at saying, "Sorry, not sorry." This on top of my mother reading my Apple text messages when I was between the ages of 23-28 via an iPad I gave her with my log in (so she could buy whatever she wanted). When you are logged into an iPad you can get all your texts through there as well since they are linked. I always wondered why she asked such odd questions when I would talk about things via text. MYSTERY SOLVED. Like I need to get over the fact I don't have any privacy. I think I should take up drinking soon. As I have overheard my other roommate, naked yogi, to his friend: "It's really unhealthy. Him and his chick are in his room for 7 hours, resurface for food and go back in... I mean really, after half an hour I am done, I got sh*t to do."
Wise words, my friend. Wise words. Can you tell how much hate I have right now? |
