Being civil is a plus, but we don't have to live with them. They have to. And honestly, we all have reasons we are the way we are, hopefully for better and not worse.
There are far more mentally ill people out there than we should be comfortable with. I've had similar experiences and I understand your mental reflex, but as I said, their behaviour refers to them, not you. Especially when you've got a master manipulator close by (father, mother, brother, sister) it's extremely hard to mentally do a step back and see what's actually going on. So you tend to adapt and live with it. But that adaptation can go and work against you as well. I'm sorry I might be a bit vague here, but stepping out mentally, taking the distance and see what's really going on has helped me a lot personally. I'd definately recommend giving it a try.
I pulled the covers over my head and tried counting sheep, doing breathing exercises, everything I could think of to relax. Still no luck. Then I became too warm and had to uncover my arms and head. Now exposed, I dreaded hearing the inevitable whine near my ear. Hours dragged on as I continually crept up to the border of sleep, only to awaken and look at my watch.
After four hours of half-sleep at best I turned on the light to read. Then I heard whining in my ear. When I turned around the mosquito had already disappeared. After a half hour of reading I settled down for more half-sleep, after re-setting my alarm and emailing my boss to let him know I'd be late. This time I slept, but only in aggravatingly short segments.
I woke up a half hour before my alarm went off and got dressed, wondering how many times I'd been bitten by the rapacious bloodsucking pest who'd terrorized me through the night. Answer: not even once.
Female mosquitos are attracted by heat and carbon dioxide, so they fly around people's exhaling faces, whereas males are interested in nectar and plants.
There used to be a TV show called 'grumpy old men'. I'd have been perfect for it.
You are 30 then? ;-)
That's where it begins certainly. :)
I've been a malcontent for quite some time leading to some calling me "Mr Doom and Gloom" and "The Old Man". :)
The washing lady at my workplace is a real sourpuss, but we call her The Sun.
Jules Verne's MYSTERY ON MONSTER ISLAND (1981)
has nothing to do with Jules Verne; Peter Cushing is in it for about 2 minutes, and Stamp for about 2.5 minutes. The names are placed over the wrong faces; in fact, the two actors on the left are the lead cast and they suck, especially the "nutty professor" type with the insulting mustache.
I don't mind bad films, but there's bad and there's bad. This is a film so bad it's not even good in that laugh-out-loud kind of way; it's annoyingly insulting. But worst of all, its false advertising is what gets on my nerves.
This reminds me of "Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man".

Jules Verne has written (or in some cases rewritten) more novels that people think.
My turn : Recently, I got two pairs of trousers from my work (pieces of uniform, you see). Tried one of them this morning and... despite the fact that I haven't taken weight since the last one, I couldn't close the new ones. I measured it this evening againts the former ones (which still suit me), and discovered that the belt was some 2 to 3 centimeters shorter on the new one, and that the button is further from the end of the belt than on the old ones. Damn !
That reminds me of this video:
And it operates on a hair trigger.
So it's all downhill from here? I suspected so, but it's nice to have it confirmed.
Just kidding, by the way.
Actor Robin Popper who plays Robin Cooper and Baal has some great in-character prank call videos on YouTube. Well worth checking out if you like that sort of thing.
I know how you feel, man. When technology gives up on me, I can get really frustrated. Good luck finding a replacement soon.
I’m trying to log in to a bank website for work (accountant) and it very arbitrarily decides when I can and can’t log in, very frustrating… luckily many of us are lovely people… but not feeling that way right now!
