What is your most pissed off experience?

[saralj]

DRIVING
Currently learning to drive a manual car in Scotland and really struggling. I'm a perfectionist and I overthink stuff, and it's been hard... I also had to change my instructor (after filing a formal complaint) because he kept saying that "women mostly can't drive anyway", being rather aggressive and putting down my faults to my "time of month".
Sooo... getting there slowly but my confidence is a bit low!

[awesomefeelsman]

It's rare for me to be really pissed off like throwing stuff around. I'd slam my hand on a table or slap someone and then hug them afterwards because I don't really like getting mad XD

But the one thing that really pissed me off was when my first girlfriend stopped me from drawing. She despised me drawing women to the point where she got so jealous she demanded to see my full album of drawings back when I was still a kid and tore all of them apart. The remaining few albums that I had, the ones that I kept from the beginning when I was improving my art, were burned by my hands because she demanded me to burn them.

It was sad, and hurtful because I treasured those drawings so much. To burn them one by one was like burning a piece of who I was. I was mad and grumpy all the time because I was like a kid who couldn't play with his toys XD

So yeah, I was super pissed. Couldn't draw, actually stopped drawing for a few years because I set my attention on high school that time.

[DiegoPalacios]

Sorry you had to go through that. Is better to break up with that kind of toxic people.

What kind of person gets jealous of inanimate objects? That woman sounds crazy.

I had a girlfriend whose interests and life projects were too incompatible. So breaking up was for the best. If you search for a girlfriend is better to look up for someone that is compatible with your values, your path in life and someone you can trust and connect in a meaningful way.

You can get someone that is a lot better than that, and someone that supports your passion. We shouldn`t be afraid to be pickier about the kind of person we want to date. as long as we understand that nobody is perfect but there are people that are perfect to us and that the flaws they have are something we are willing to accept. (other flaws are just unacceptable. Like getting jealous over a drawing.)

Sometimes is better to be alone than in a bad company.

What kind of person gets jealous over a drawing? It's better to get rid of people who stop you from doing what you love to do or make you stop loving it.

@saralj It's sad that people like this guy still exist.

[awesomefeelsman]

Thanks man
She found someone new, good riddance XD
Yeah, the struggle back then was after the break up you get that feeling of revenge and stuff so I had to fight that.

That initial want to find comfort after getting hurt. I stayed away from finding someone when I was recovering, because I don't want anyone to be a fling or a rebound for my own selfish needs.

Personally I don't like the thought of being with someone because you need them. I'd rather be with someone I want to be with because I want to have fun and spend time with them.

After what happened I learned how to value people more especially my friends and family.

I was thinking of becoming a hermit actually XD if time comes that I would find a cave in a mountain I'd construct a house and live there. Course it would need wifi, reason why I want it up a mountain XD signal strength.

[Allanbrito]

totaly agree with you! That's what pissed me off so much, it was for nothing! haha

[awesomefeelsman]

She wasn't really into art anyway. She was more logical than creative. Not saying that they're not capable of doing so but just in my case with her.

[Allanbrito]

Your instructor is a jerk. You know I had the same problem long ago, when I was younger. I come from a very disfunctional family, so my dad and mom has so many problems, they fight a lot. When I was a child I got fisicaly and verbaly abused by my dad. That gave me an insecure attitude, with time, y met a girl who help me to believe in myself and love myself more thatn anything. She is my GF now, and I'm working hard to have my own apartment or house and live with her!
So don't give up, just believe in yourselve and keep going. You have more value that you think you have!

[saralj]

Yeah, I actually switched instructors and now I have a super cool 60 year old dude who I get on really well with! He teaches so much better too... Very happy. The other guy was shouting in the very first lessons I ever had in driving, it was super weird. I think it was more about him than me, really, because my mistakes weren't even major (like gear change confusion).

So sorry for what happened with your dad...
Totally - takes a while to work past insecurities and all! Your GF sounds awesome Fingers crossed you guys are able to live together soon.

Thank you! I will keep going for sure.

On here, it's just the overarching fact that people, in the most general of terms, look at the worst panel in the oldest episode you have for their view on the quality of your comic, not the latest and average quality panels.

Quick Edit: I was an idiot when this story took place and so was everyone else at that age so I was bit clueless and forgiving to say the least.

But in general I don't know when I was the 'most pissed' (until recently, it was a constant state) so I'll tell an old story-- when I was in middle school, all the three years (this was years ago, Since then I've had a bit of common sense) I was manipulated into thinking that people were actually my friends and by the end of every year I'd think that we had talked out our differences, what little they had with me, and they'd pretend we'd get along (it was a private school so I couldn't just find an alternative friend group who were actually cool). They always stole my jokes (I was the class clown and to middle school us it was pretty funny) Sometimes they talked behind my back even when I was like 10 feet away (that kind of sucked if you can guess.) even making fun of me when my father died, and the principal decided to tell my class, which I certainly didn't want her to do. I was also much more poor than the other kids in my class, so you can imagine how well that went. Then I went into 'One-Act-Play' OAP. I was the antagonist, a very stereotypical flamboyant version of Poseidon, the leads and I dragged our school to state, despite our shitty props, the grief (because my Father died the day before opening night) and my general hate for acting. Welp, I was just called a fairy-boy by my peers because I was given a part I didn't want. This ended in a very satisfying punch to the face.

Yes I was pissed the entire time.

I then moved 800 miles away, good riddance, but still leaving me alone for high school.
High school was pretty fun though tbh and I met some actual friends, but that may just be nostalgia. Mixed with the overall just ignoring all the spoiled kids (I was the poor kid in a nice area, somethings don't change)

i can kinda feel you there since i failed my first driving test (in canada its a 3 year process with 3 different ranks of drivers licenses) i actually get furious at my parents since my mom can barely walk some days and my dad doesnt trust me driving at all so i barely got any practice in so i figured i would get my G2 license (still not a full license) so i dont need someone with a full g for at least 4 years of driving in the car with me.

this instructor was this preppie looking woman that looked like she took no shit at all, she reminded me of my old property manager (thats another angry story for another day... she tried to evict us for being handicapped in one way, shape or form) so i was kinda nervous of her presence.

i failed my test for not backing into the starting point (and that is on arrival), for my power steering having issues and no joke, the biggest one she failed me on was THE SQUEALING OF MY CAR. yes my car squeals, it is no big thing, it is just the fan belt, once you start going it'll stop squealing... but this bitch failed me for those 3 things, like ok the power steering, sure but the other 2 were bullshit. she even said if i return with this car and it squeals, she'll fail me and revoke my g1.... i think im going to request a different instructor next time

that woman can try to break me but she'll never break my soul!.... it does that itself (damn alternator)

[LNRDink]

Very few things piss me off like they used to in my angsty teen years--which I don't actually count when deciding the most pissed I've ever been. Nothing from that time ended up mattering in the grand scheme.

No, the thing that has upset me greatest is this desperate urge to con creatives going around lately. So many mostly "reputable" online/digital publishers who seek new talent but then do nothing to help elevate that talent drives me crazy.

After a lifetime of hard work but severe anxiety, I finally worked up the courage to start seeking a unique means of publication for my first book (shameless link). A website I had known about from previous years was expanding monthly, accepting new writers, and the pricing model seemed like a good fit.

Turns out this "expanding community" was a closed circle--a pointless loop of writers paying subscriptions to read each other's work while the site owners did absolutely nothing to grow the site or make it easier for new readers to discover it.

So, I bailed on that deal and moved to Tapas and KDP where at least I know I have a fighting shot at more readers discovering my writing.

I don't know but your previous gf seemed like a domestic abuser. Making you give up a thing you love for a petty reason. Sadly these kinds of people tend to just get older and remain the same but even worse, if nothing is done. I hope one day you find happiness with some one not as terrible.

[saralj]

ppie looking woman that looked like she took no shit at all, she reminded me of my old property manager (thats another angry story for another day... she tried to evict us for being handicapped in one way, shape or form) so i was kinda nervous of her presence.

The SQUEALING of the car? That is crazy! Yikes... request a different instructor for sure, she sounds awful

[silverraven0]

I hated being blamed for literally doing absolutely nothing and for be called a liar (when they know that I'm not the one to lie, but still called me liar anyway), lazy, when I'm the one doing the chores while my sister just chillin out with her bf and slept until midday and family members that visited usually make the house messy (and hurrah! I got yelled for not making the house like s*it and not tidiying [is this the right word?] the mess they created).

And my family sense of humor is pretty much fat shaming (well, I'm pretty fat insert forever alone meme), and self shaming me 'for my own good'.

This is basically mental abuse (yes, I said it myself).

If I said something, I'm talking back. If I said nothing, I'm deaf.

Most of the time I feel nothing, but when I do, I usually feeling pretty pissed and ended up getting sad when I'm over thinking.

Oh, btw, I'm the kind of peoples that have this 'dead' (?) and serious (Said someone) kind of gaze, so I would ended up 'glaring' when I looked at peoples (one of the many misunderstanding on my life) when I'm just looking at them normally.

I mean, I'm just looking at their face, talking at me, its not like I'm here to kill them.

Thats why I don't particularly looking at the faces of the peoples who said that to me. Or in my back.

*edit. I'm ended up btching. Should I erase this post instead?

[Kann]

Don't erase it. It's good to write about things that make you angry. And you're right. It is mental abuse. No one should shame you for anything.

(Btw, I have the same problem with my face. Kids are afraid of me... xD)

[fleohr]

I don't usually get pissed off, but one day my teacher asked to the class what they did last week, and when I said I was drawing, she said "Oh, so you weren't doing nothing important haha"

I had to hold myself to not say or do something I might regret later, but this fcking comment really made me mad, it's not like a hobbie can't became a job or is not important

Besides, drawing is not only drawing people, but also clothes, products, houses, etc. I can't understand how someone can be so stupid, closed mind, and be a teacher

[DiegoPalacios]

This is basically mental abuse (yes, I said it myself).

I agree, this is not healthy. Do you have any source of income or somewhere else to go?. If they don`t change their behavior it would be better to cut ties as soon as possible. Have you talked to them about how you feel? (i know this one is awkward, but this can tell you if it is worth to keep ties with them). Anyway, wish you the best and sorry you had to go trough that.

[silverraven0]

@Kann same, I seems to be hated by children's as well, but some of the reason is because I stared at them long enough with my 'scary' face to not get close to me since I don't like children and body contact XD

@DiegoPalacios I exited the house before. But I was brought back.

As for income, its hard to find a job when you don't have at the lowest, high school diploma.

I finished middle school, but the diploma is left at the school where you need to take a car ride for a frightening 5 to 6 (maybe less, maybe more, I forgot) hours with its bumpy road (or half of the time you ride the car or train, and then you ride a boat) that I haven't visiting for... years, and beside, they won't let me.

At the moment I'm working under them, on a family business.

I'm pretty much living my life monotonely just for the sake of being alive there, and didn't particularly give a f*ck about the s*it anymore (I have a literal poker face most of the time anyway). For the time being I felt that it's better for my mental health.

I will need to figure out what I need to do, but its kinda hard when they didn't even try to listen.

I just hope that I can make a living on my own (hopefully by making comic), and get the f*ck outta there someday.

Well, thanks for the concern though. I appreciate it.

[feuersichel]

Omg that teacher... In your freetime you should do stuff you enjoy and don't have to be productive. How else are you supposed to rest when people are always like "have to do usefull stuff... need to be productive... need to go out and do stuff or else you're useless" NO! If you feel like gaming, do it, if you rather want to draw, do it! Also drawing isn't that easy as you well know (she certainly doesn't ^^ ) I sometimes even have to take "brakes" from my drawing-hobby xD
