Somewhere to erupt and release without offending or annoying anyone?
Like, where do socks disappear to? And at what point during the laundry process do they actually disappear? I don’t exactly count the socks during the transfer from washing machine to dryer, but I know that 6 socks went into the washing machine and 5 socks came out of the dryer? And why are there never ever MORE socks than you put in, like surely they have to go somewhere?
And what happened to the culture of tipping for extra or special services? You want me to pay you for just doing your job? Isn’t that what your boss does? Maybe if your boss lowered the prices, I’d have money left to tip with! I worked above and beyond at every job I had, and often got great tips too… but now people want rewarding for doing what they’re supposed to do… what happened?
And why isn’t Woolworths in the UK anymore, but there are stores in other countries? Nowhere, I repeat, nowhere did Pick n’ Mix like Woolworths…
Why is it acceptable to pay outrageous prices for everyday goods and necessities? Nappies and milk and groceries are not made out of gold, but it’s totally okay to charge as much as one can get away with for anything…
The lack of humanity in humanity is astounding… what does it say about “society” when we constantly create new ways to harm each other and our planet…
And while I’m at it, why do people ask for advice, ignore said advice, then complain when the result is EXACTLY what I predicted?! Yes, the grass is greener because the second you step over there, you’re knee-deep in shizzle!
I think I need to go and woosah something… but I do feel better lol…
Thanks hun, and you’re right, I could totally use a rage room, I still remember when they were “in” hahaha! But the virtual one will suffice for now… it feels good to release the foolishness, I think I need to make a ritual for that…
I heard on a morning radio show that there was a study (which I can’t seem to find online to cite at the moment) that venting about a random topic for 60 seconds releases stress. They chose random topics for people and not a single person couldn’t direct their thoughts to a mini rant. My favorite was about polka dots
The nice part I felt about it was you weren’t focused on a topic but rather the feeling and letting it out. I tried it and it was surprisingly helpful.
I try not to wind myself up about topics too much anymore. There is a ton to be angry about and it could take up all my life if I let it. I’m trying more to find the little joys and beauties everyday.
The other thing I do to vent is run - something about the physical act of running releases so much of my stress, anxiety and anger.
Like you said, I have to do it where I won’t cause alarm. Paper thin walls for apartment complexes are not conducive to a good roar or angry singing… unless it’s the neighbor who created the anger. Then I blast without much care.
I suppose if I needed to, I could alert the office I’m going to get noisy for a few moments and close myself in the empty glassed in gym for a good yell and stomp. I don’t tend to throw things or destroy stuff.
I have the same problem, not causing alarm, especially to my daughter… but thank you for these, I’m working on a ritual to help me release the random bs that sometimes bugs me!
