My mom has a nasty habit of asking me to come with her to "the store"... then mentioning after I've signed on and got ready that "the store" actually equals about five places. This sucks because I have no idea how long to tell people I'll be gone. >:(

EDIT: Okay, got a better one. Yesterday, I decided to, for shits and giggles, see how much it'd cost for me to assemble a new computer system. Not a top-of-the-line one, but one a few steps up from what I currently have, a Frankensteinian assembly of older parts that are more difficult to find replacements for. Top to bottom, the entire thing comes out to about $1100. When I told Mom about what I did, she immediately jumped to about three conclusions:

1. I've gone beyond looking prices up and made plans.
2. Any money I receive will go directly to this computer.
3. I will neglect my credit card and insurance to do it.

For fucks sake! I'm not a fucking idiot! We're talking a year down the line, so I don't have a repeat of the time my computer died on me without any plan for a replacement! For that matter, I love the assumption that I'm going to be completely irresponsible with my money, like I'm a fucking teenager. Best of all, when I called her on that fact, she said that I wasn't responsible because two months ago, my grandmother gave me $450, and I thought it would allow mom to not have to worry about me financially for four months, and it only lasted two. Well, you're right mom. I fucked up. I somehow thought you would continue to pay for my sisters to put gas on my car (they use it 99% of the time instead of me), and that you wouldn't borrow $70 of it, and not pay it back! This is some bullshit out of my mother. Fucking bullshit.

ADDENDUM:

My friend and roommate agrees with my mother! He said that I have a track record of fiscal irresponsibility! I haven't had any money to be irresponsible with in over a year. Where he's pulling this track record from is uncertain, but it smells of his ass.

Look, I've had problems with money back when I was a teenager, but to say that I would blatantly ignore my responsibilities in favor of a shiny new toy, at my age, is fucking retarded. The fact that they could be so judgmental so fast over so little is...

BULLSHIT.

I kind of know how you feel.  My mom, who I've pretty much distanced myself from, takes opportunities to lob pop shots at me.  The last time I talked to her, I told her, in these words, to fuck off, go to hell, and I didn't want her interfering in my life if she couldn't be supportive.  I don't care what people say, family, blood, they don't deserve special respect or anything, just because they're family.  I don't much talk to mine anymore.  They've always been judgmental, oppressive, and have always seen me as a blacksheep.  So, at 32 years old, I told them to fuck off, I didn't need them.  And I haven't looked back.

What the SHIT is it with parents and believing that you, the offspring they raised and taught themselves, have no idea how to budget and wisely manage your finances? I have never been a big spender except on occasional small splurges like, say, a book or game and otherwise operate under the 'You Never Know When You Might Need the Money' principle of funds management. Yet everybody is treating me like I'm hemorrhaging money and need help learning how to budget.

Go bitch at my Golden Brat younger brother for a while. He's the one spending $200 a week on his stupid LARP and casually tossing down $50 for superfluous purchases like computer games and upgrades that he doesn't need and a crossbow that shoots marshmallows.

I went to bed without brushing my hair, and now it's a big clusterfuck.

Back when I had long hair, even if I washed and brushed it right before bed, I still had to wear it in a ponytail, or else I couldn't deal with it in the mornings.

People who act like an expert, when they have no idea what they're talking about. Long story short, some asshole was bitching about the sugar in these all natural fruit snacks, I look at the label, yeah it's natural sugar, it has no artifical/extra shit in it whatsoever.

I changed my cat's food, and oh god, her farts are killing me. I don't want to kick her out of the room because that's what I do when she's being punished and she'll think she did something wrong, but it's so bad I might be dead by morning.

Posts like this aren't bad in of themselves, but when I see a post like that at the top of a new page, I have no idea wtf it's referencing and I have to go back to the previous page and scroll down.

I love it when that happens. The best posts are the out-of-context ones.

To be fair, sugar can be a problem for diabetics if they take in too much too quickly.  Also, sugar does naturally have calories.  Now it's not as much as fat, but it breaks down easier.

I'm not saying she wasn't ranting in a way that make her sound stupid.  I'm just making a few points about sugar.  Hell, what I'm making a point about is probably relatively unrelated to her rant.

You know something that just bugs the hell out of me?  I have this certain person on my friends list on Facebook, and all they do is share a ton of Christian crap from their like pages.  That's it.  Every time I check my feed, it's about six to ten posts from this person, all shared crap about how much they love god and how much god loves her.  And I don't want to block or delete this person, and I can't seem how to figure out if I can stop just the post, if there even is a way.  It's annoying as all hell.

You can go in and "unsubscribe" from their "feed". It's complicated, but I did that with one of my Conservative Christian friends.

I NEED to stay friends with him. He keeps me sharp!

I'll have to look into that.  Unfortunately, if I were to unfriend everyone on my list that annoyed me in some way, I'd end up deleting most of my list.  Of course, about a third of my list is family that I don't even associate with anymore, so they pretty much need to go.  Most of the rest is either people I went to school with of whom most I don't talk to, or ex-coworkers, and I don't talk to most of them either.  And about 90%, or more, are conservative Christians.  Most don't bother me about being a Buddhist, but I think some try to send subtle hints every now and again that they're unhappy with my decision.  But, as I've gotten older, I've taken a "if you don't like me, then fuck off" attitude toward people, and this is especially true of family, or so-called.
