I am absolutely sick to death of my patience being taken for granted.
I've been brought up to respect appointments you make. If I make an appointment with someone, THAT is the important appointment. If something else comes up, I won't cancel that first appointment. If I say I'm going to be somewhere/do something, I bloody show up or cancel well beforehand. You're more important to me than that other thing. When the crap am I going to be more important to you?
I've been brought up to respect other people's property above my own. I use it, I take care of it, I wash it and I put it back where I found it. You wouldn't even know I'd used it except I asked beforehand. Over the last few months, my things have been used without any respect--scissors left on the floor, knife left wet or even dirty to go blunt, food being eaten and not replaced, containers broken and not replaced until I finally put a blanket ban on using my stuff over the weekend.
'I really have to go to this thing that I don't want to go to, but at least Anna/'narti will understand.'
'I don't have enough/any containers/scissors of my own, but at least Anna will understand if I use hers.'
Fuck it. I'm not being patient anymore. People just keep abusing it. If you cancel on me, I WILL get annoyed at you. Applies as much online as with Adelaideans. The next time I find any of my stuff not where I last left it, I'm moving it to my bedroom and nobody will have the privilege of using it.
I was supposed to be going to the only Friday night footy match of the season tonight. I postponed Mum and Dad coming to dinner tonight because of it. There being nobody to go with, I'm on my own. I don't know if I'm going or not.
