What upsets you?
Martha V03-Jul-22
What is the one thing in life that upsets you the most? I have a number of things that make my blood boil, but on top of my list is dishonesty. I hate it when people lie to me. People should know by now that the truth always come out, even if it is years later

      Martha, I would never lie to you. As to your question: "What upsets you?", I can only say that there are very few things that upset me. My motto is: "Why get upset?" When you see or hear things that could possibly upset you, it is much better to find a solution for it and, if possible, apply that solution. I can honestly say that in nearly all such cases I m usually able to find the cause and then rectify it. That is why so very few things really upset me.

        I work in a school and I can not stand non speaking migrants who shout and abuse the staff at the school and the poor school crossing people what happen to please or Thank You . Even the school kids are showing dishonesty towards the teachers this makes my blood boil.

            I totally agree about liars. My kids learned straight away telling the truth was their best option. Abuse of any kind is also not acceptable and parents incapacitating themselves with drugs or alcohol in front of their children upsets me.

                        Truthfulness is huge for me too. Especially when you have evidence that you're being lied to and a person sticks with their yarn. Very frustrating. I always say, I can deal with the truth better, even if it hurts or I'm angry about it, but if you lie, I can't work with that at all. Truth prevails always. Even if it's years later like in the questioners experience.

                              So true I cant stand dishonesty and selfish people the most makes my blood boil is rude people also I always say their is two sides of the story and we only hear one side most likely is the trouble maker and years to come we hear the other side of story. Realise the truth has finally came out.

                                    Yes. Liars. Trust is SO important. Problem with these compulsive liars is that they will make up more and more lies to cover to try and disprove you. Pox on them!

                                            Yes its easier to tell the truth that way you dont have to think what you said earlier in a lie. Being told the truth may make you angry but you do settle down but when you find out that you have ben lied to even if it was for good intentions it makes you more angry and now someone you rely has become untrustworthy and that is a sad situation to be in.

                                                  If someone lies to me they have lost my trust forever. However, that doesn't make my blood boil. What gets me going is stupidity, and it seems to abound today. People say the most stupid things and no-one pulls them up or corrects them. The media loves saying stupid things and plenty of stupid people are only too willing to believe them. Then there are the bleeding hearts and they baying media pronouncing people guilty before charges have been laid or there has been a trail. There are weird ideas about rearing children and when my grandchildren tell me the rubbish they are being taught I find it hard to believe my ears. Thank goodness my child rearing days are over because I wouldn't be able to tolerate the trivial drivel coming from our school system. I would probably have a stroke after only a week.

                                                      I agree with dishonesty. But on a more physical note, inconsiderate people who do things like leaving shopping trolleys in the middle of parking bays in Supermarket car parks, people who leave a mess behind them in shopping center food courts, and people who are just plain rude and inconsiderate to others.

They registered a car on December 30 and it sat in front of our house until just before easter. I stopped counting at 12 weeks. It's annoying but legal, but then he parked his van in front and we live on a bend and hill and we were not able to see anything coming up the road. One day I got to the middle of the road and met a bus which made me feel quite ill so hubby rang him. He said "I'm sure it pisses you off but it's legal so put up with it". We were fuming but he did move it to the other side of the road a few days later. Three weeks ago a duel cab Ford ute pulled up and has been there ever since, and once again we can't see over it or around it. We started to drive out of our driveway yesterday and there was a car. My heart almost stopped. I rang the police who told me there is nothing they can do as it's legally parked so I asked the officer what do I tell my insurance company if I drive out into the road and get hit by another car or bus. He didn't have an answer. I find it hard to believe it's alright for us to risk our safety getting out of our driveway so I will ring the NRMA tomorrow and ask them. The parking rules for NSW do state that you can park as long as you don't pose a hazard or danger to other road users and I reckon his ute does indeed pose a danger to us. These people are nothing but inconsiderate, arrogant, ignorant pigs, which is probably an insult to pigs.

A family member has been put through Hell thanks to a number of these so-called "Professionals". Told they have a primary Cancer with Secondaries, booked in for Chemo, then a PET scan was done to find out if there was any other disease in the rest of their body. Scan performed, no results given to the patient then the day before Chemo was supposed to begin, a receptionist at the Oncologist rang to say "Chemo has been cancelled" - Unable to give any reason. Gutless Oncologist could not even take the time - maybe just a couple of minutes - to phone and tell HIS Patient why. Was it because there was so much disease that Chemo would not help or because there was no other cancer? Family member was left to stew for a Week before seeing a doctor who told them that there was NO Cancer other than what he referred to as "a hot spot" on what they had said was the "secondary" cancer! With operation to be done but no chemo as it was not necessary. The cruelty, the Insensitivity, the Total Lack of Empathy by the Medical profession is obscene. There is no point in complaining because, just as with Child Sex Offending priests, they will all crowd around their mates and exonerate them from any blame.

BUT if you have things that make your blood boil, YOU need to look at yourself, as you are killing yourself slowly.. find a way to express that anger / frustration etc, if you dont you are slowly killing yourself as that anger etc is poison to you, and it has no affect on the thing that is making your blood boil. Very good advice taken and lived when I was given a 90% death sentence after partner pist off and left me with a child Since then [ and it was hard] but I grew up fast, and now nothing bothers me for more that it take to acknowledge and then remove and live on in peace. I you want good advice that works you need to go back 5 decades or more from a library Today its a bunch of ??/ who learnt stuff by rote and have never really eperienced any genuine negative so are not help from first hand knowledge but from somthing they were told.. AND they have never trusted but verified. I wish you well, It is destructive to let your "blood boil"

People who are inconsiderate, Immoral, righteous bigots. So many people really and people wonder why others prefer animals.
