I Am ANGRY!

I don't know what sort of job I could get. I'm not good with people telling me what to do! I'd prefer to work for myself. But when or if I start selling my paintings I don't know when or if I'm going to sell any and that. He's in his mid eighties. So yeah. And he's a bit deaf. Nothing wrong with his eyesight though, he could see I was there! I've been thinking I should move out for years but just no way of doing so.

@MarieCoyle Yes, I do think he meant to offend me! He was just being a right pain and not wanting to wait to get his lunch till I'd got mine! I'm living off my savings but the food is payed for by my Mum. I don't pay rent. My parents, especially Syd, would not help me get established. Syd doesn't like to spend money as it is. He was an accountant, so it's turned him into a miser. Imagine what the response would be if one day I said, Can you buy me a house please? It wouldn't go down well.

@sharonelton As people age, they are more likely to not notice the needs of others, as they are struggling with their own actions and needs. I don't imagine he meant to offend you in any way on purpose, but of course, I am not there and cannot judge the situation. May I ask, how do you support yourself? Do they have you paying rent or expenses such as food, utilities, personal items such as clothing or shoes, etc? I do hope you have some type of income? Yes, some people do not like to be told what to do, I get that. In all honestly, most people do not like it. However, being in the working world puts most of us in a position of having a boss/manager/in-charge person we have to have to follow directions and supervise our work. That's just the way it is. Most people would rather work for themselves, but that is difficult--you need money to get established in your own business, supplies, living expenses, food, and on and on it goes. While art is special and wonderful, and people do appreciate it, we are living in really tough financial times and it probably will not improve any time soon. People tend to only buy essential items when times are tough. They don't buy clothing unless they really need it, or go on vacations, or buy items they can live without, so often things like art, fancy clothing and cars, pricey foods or eating in restaurants, all go by the wayside and they do not purchase these things. When times are tough financially, people usually just stick to what they absolutely have to have. I have worked all of my life, from a young teen on up. I have held many types of jobs until I was able to get an education for a good job. Done everything from working in restaurants in every possible capacity, cleaning houses, receptionist, office work, and on and on. I didn't like many of those jobs, but I worked my way out of them to get where I needed to be. Not easy, but I didn't have a choice, I had to live and eat and pay the bills. Nothing is impossible. If you tell your family you would like your own small place, maybe they will help you get established and then you can work somewhere to be able to be on your own. '' I should move out for years but just no way of doing so.'' ~~ Yes, you can do this!

@sharonelton .......He sounds like a wonderful person to have to live with. NOT! He is trying your patience. I hope you are able to cope.

@celticeagle Yes, that's what he's doing! It's not nice! I'm going to have to learn martial arts so I can fend him off!

Thank you very much. I guess I waited a bit longer before doing my lunch because of answering MyLot notifications. You can't communicate with Syd. He's partly deaf anyway and you have to shout, and then when you do he says You don't have to shout! And he thinks he's the hens teeth. He's got no consideration for anyone else! But usually I do try to avoid him.

@sharonelton Oh that would definitely be a concern I understand that totally. Shame, wish you had the way to do it friend. I know how frustrating it can be to not be able to move where you want..money is always an issue for people like us.

@RebeccasFarm Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. You are so kind. Yes, it's always an issue.

Thank you. You're very kind. Well, the thing is, you see, I can't afford to do it on my own. That's the problem.

@sharonelton I hate people who get in the middle when you are doing something. I wish you could get out.

@LadyDuck Thank you very much. I'm glad you know how I feel. Yes, me too!

Thank you very much. He's a moron, frankly, and he's got no patience. I really wish I could get out.

@sharonelton ok and you are welcome.

@Hannihar Thank you very much. I hope you are OK.

Thank you very much, that is very kind of you. Unfortunately I cannot.

I know what you mean. Our kitchen isn't that big either. It's not too small, but it's not very big. Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. Yes, when this kind of thing happens the red mist falls!

@grenery8 Our kitchen is perfect for one person! I do like our kitchen. It does the job. But it's not the size of the kitchen that's the problem. It's the impatience and ignorance of other people!

@sharonelton yes, tiny kitchens. welcome and i hope someone will behave from now on

Thank you very much, that is very kind of you. Yes, he is a real pain! And I have to live with the man! Ugh!

Thank you very much. You're very kind. Yes, too many cooks in the kitchen! Ha ha, very funny!

Yes, that's exactly how I feel. I don't think I've ever heard him apologise to me, EVER!

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. He does things like that a lot, unfortunately.

@sharonelton I'm sorry he does.

@just4him Thank you. Yes, it's frustrating.

Oh, dear. That doesn't sound very good. Thank goodness for bin collections!

@sharonelton You're very welcome.

@LindaOHio Thank you very much. I hope you had a lovely day.

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. I can't, no. That's the problem.

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. I hope so too. I hope God sends me a boyfriend so I can get married and go and move to Cardiff.

@sharonelton Good to avoid such people. But then it's not always possible if you are living under the same roof

@arunima25 Yes, it is good to avoid this kind of person. But living in the same house does make it hard.

Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. He's like that quite often. I just try to avoid him as much as possible, but when I'm cooking in the kitchen and he comes in it's hard to do.

Thank you very much. Yes, they can. He really gets on my nerves quite a lot!

Too right it is! Why couldn't he have just waited till I'd finished? He's got no patience!
