r/venting

I bet even Republicans can't believe in all this shit that's going on.

Trump just casually posted about destroying an entire civilization tonight.... Following up with God bless the people of Iran....

He says I'm going to destroy all of you but I wish you the best in one post?

Republicans.... Your adjudicated rapist, 34 time felon, crypto pushing, war criminal of a president needs to go.

Republicans need to wake up and stop pushing the goal post for this man... He blew up a school full of kids!! He got us into a war for no reason!!

I could list off all of the other stupid shit he's done but apparently none of that has ever mattered to you... So I'm hoping that somewhere in those "Christian hearts" of yours... Where you didn't draw the line at him being a rapist, or trying to overthrow our democracy, you draw the line at him casually threatening genocide online...

We need to get rid of this man.. we need to get rid of Trump... He needs to be impeached and thrown in jail and we need Republicans out of power. This is not funny, people are literally dying here at home and abroad...

Here's a summary of what a regular day at my government job looks like.

Manager: This is OUR TOP PRIORITY, get it done ASAP or everything falls apart!!!

Me, the next day: Hey I got working on our top priority right away, here's the result.

Manager: Uh ok, just email it to me, I'll check it out later.

Me, a week later: Hey I emailed it to you, did you check it out?

Manager: Oh yeah, haven't had time.

Manager again, two weeks later: Hey can you email me the thing that was a top priority project that I somehow completely forgot about?

Me: Already have two weeks ago.

Manager: My bad lmao, anyway I just read your email, I'll have to get the first steps approved by twelve different people for some reason before we move forward.

Me, another two weeks later: It's been a month, can I get working on the thing I proposed a month ago now?

Manager: Right, it hasn't been approved yet, so no.

Manager again, a week later: Hey so FUCK that top priority project I guess, here's a NEW DEADLINE for a NEW TOP PRIORITY, this one is definitely FOR REAL this time, get it done ASAP!!!

That about sums it up. I don't see the point of working on anything at all. I don't take priorities seriously anymore, deadlines mean nothing and I need approval from every level of authority to just do my job that I was hired for, so I just get paid to wait for emails at this point. End rant, thanks for reading.

literally every small mistake at work i make is amplified in my brain and i think my bosses are losing patience with me i've been there like a month i should know everything by now

i have to go to work in less than 20 minutes and im dreading it because i know all my co workers are better than me and i'm just gonna go and probably fuck something up again

i was unemployed 3 months last year, at the time i was depressed but now i really miss it. since i've started working again everyday has felt like hell, like someone's constantly throwing rotten tomatoes at me for every small screw up

i make a good amount of money for an 18 y/o but my mental state is getting increasingly worse. i wish i didnt have these disorders i wish i could just brush things off when they happen but i make such horrible mistakes

(yesterday i forgot to tell the back kitchen we were running out of whipped cream and had to make some which takes like 7 minutes and a customer was upset)

2 of my co workers hate me also and i think theyre trying to bully me into quitting. little do they know i dont even have will to live anymore. i wish i could go thru a magical fantasy portal because being a human is just so much effort i work full time and by the time im home im so exhausted its hard to take care of even brushing my teeth

(i still do because that would be gross but sometimes the anxiety from "i have to go to sleep i have work in the morning" literally paralyzes me and has me staring at the wall in pure silence for half an hour and its hard to calm myself down)

anyway sorry if this doesnt make any sense i havent slept as much as im supposed to in the past 2 days i have to go finish getting ready bye

i rejected my male bsf

so me 17(f) and my male bsf 18(m) we went on vacation together for easter, it was a nice trip that he decided to gift me but i still paid my share.

this trip was a bit strange ngl, he started calling me pet names when we usually insult each other and he always asked for cuddles, i always responded with an ew and just a cold shoulder and tried to make him understand that i am not interested romantically.

i plus suffer from depression (I have been recovering a lot since i was into severe depression) i still struggle and I tend to have apathy towards people, i don't like to stay around people either i barely stay with my own mother so before this trip i warned my bsf about this.

but the day came he kinda confessed and told me that many things he's doing he is doing them for me and that he only see a future with me.

now i'm not someone that jumps around so i go straight forward as gently as possible, I said that i am not interested in him nor anyone and that i am focusing on my mental health and that he should do those things for himself, plus i told him that he knows that i'm still traumatised from my last relationship (it was a brutal relationship very brutal) and since then i stopped dating, i told him that he doesn't even deserve me he deserves better than someone who has depression and can't even feel human emotions at 100%, he loves to go out, i do not, he loves talking, i hate noises, we are kinda opposites.

and after these 2 weeks together i hate staying around him even more, he is 18 and can't do anything, i'm on my period with bad cramps too and i do everything literally i asked him to help me but he only cleans the dishes if he feels like it, he leaves beers around the house when he finishes eating he leaves it on the table, he can't cook, can't do his own bed, doesn't shower till i tell him to, basically just making me more miserable whateverrr girl.

i might be overreacting here but i hate when people touch me i never touch people hug or anything, i hug my mother and my young cousins that's it, so the fact that he keeps touching me everytime or tries to initiate physical contact it makes me horribly uncomfortable cause i need to take my time (we know eachother for 10 years but we live far we see eachother when we can so this makes it more difficult for me) i know i am problematic but i cannot stand it, istg he is pushing every boundary i have smt than no one ever did, many of my friends always gave me my time and from time to time i would initiate it myself.

and every time i talk to a guy or this guy says smt funny and i tell my baf he says that i should block him cause he is dangerous probably...or when i asked to rate a male friend he said 2 out of 10 and that i should block him again lmaooo.

well now that i rejected him he went to cry in the other room and the air is tense a lot...uhm i appreciate any mature advice for the rest it was smt i needed to leave it out from my chest and sry if some topics switched i just said what i felt(sry for bad English not my main language)

It's so wild to think that Republicans put their trust in a rapist felon who lead a riot against the Capitol and defended those in the Epstein files all because they hated trans people....

Now we're at war... Trans people posed no threat to their kids... A President who blew up a school full of 150 young girls does.

A President who defended p3dos in the Epstein files does

A President who was held liable of sexual assault does.

Trump has failed on every metric... On every campaign promise he's made and he has several thousands of people's lives taken that he's responsible for.

MAGA really messed up

I am tired

so how can I even begin I mean every single day I am disrespected by my younger brother and my parents I wake up tired,sleepy and immediately my mother tells me 15 different things to do within five minutes before leaving after she leaves I have to wake my brother up when I tell him to wake up he ignores me If I shake him he will either punch or kick me to move me away and if I don't wake him up the gas for cooking will go away so I have to deal with that when he asks for food I tell him leave it put for 10 mins so it's easier to warm up but he constantly tells me cook cook I am hungry I am hungry and today I was warming it up on the stove I was on a call with my dad I told him wait two minutes two times and then I yelled at him to stop what did I get a scolding from my parents over the phone then after the call ended he yelled and disrespected me then when I made him tea he didn't drink it for which I also got yelled at by my parents for making tea for him when I didn't know if he had drunk it or not because my mother made it for him before I woke up and I was supposed to know and on the off chance I don't make tea it's still my fault if he gets a headache that why didn't I give him tea then after that I went to collect my admit card when I returned I took a normal rickshaw( there are two types one. with designates stops which are cheaper but you have to walk to your own and ones that are expensive but take you back to your own home)after my mom and dad came home she yelled at me for not giving him his food early enough when I myself had breakfast at 10 half an hour after giving him his, I got yelled at for eating too much meat then I got yelled for giving him tea when he didn't ask like how was I supposed to know if he had drunk his tea or not when I was asleep when I told her I took the more expensive rickshaw she yelled at me saying when I normally go to school with my mother I take the cheaper rickshaw but when I came alone today I took the expensive rickshaw i got told that she doesn't even trust me with her inheritance that i will be fair or not tell me If your mother says that you are a cruel person who will still their own brother part and that you don't trust him how would the child feel then she asked me if I knew the percentage of position holder I did Not know because my parents don't let me have that many hell the last time I hanged out with my freinds after school was 3 years ago mind you I am 15

then when I said no I do not she said yeah I don't care about the the money she spends on me I think I have decent percentage it's 90.36 but she still tells me it's trash if I am not the first in the entire school every kid in the school takes extra tutoring but I don't since It will cost my parents money but they still say that I am wasting their money after that when we were eating desert she said while I was eating that i am disgrace if i can't even give my brother his food on time and I will probably steal his part of the inheritance I don't even think about that I am 15 the thing I look forward to is school so I could atleast hang out with my freinds because that's the only time get with people I don't want to say much more but this is what everyday looks like to me sorry if it was too long

So when I got to high school (11th & 12th grade), I joined a new school solely because I wanted to do A-levels, which my previous school didn’t offer.

At the start, I was really lazy and took my studies lightly. My attendance record was bad too, mainly because I was very quiet and didn’t make any friends at the beginning of the year.

After a while, we had unit tests. The grades came out and went straight to the coordinator. That’s when she found out about me and how I was performing. From then on, she would often scream at me and humiliate me. I always just took it.

But then one incident really stuck with me. It was in December, just before the Christmas holidays. We had another unit test, and on the last day (our final exam), she came into the class while distributing the papers and said to me, “You’re not studying.” I don’t know why, but I replied, “I am.”

She then proceeded to announce all my marks in front of the entire class (they were all terrible). I remember feeling so shocked that for the first 30 minutes of the exam, I couldn’t even write anything I was completely frozen.

When I got home, I locked myself in my room and didn’t speak to anyone.

Additionally, during my final year (12th grade), she once called my mom in for a PTA meeting. My mom later told me that when she picked up a university pamphlet, the coordinator was giving her really judgmental looks.

Thankfully, I eventually locked in and managed to pass all my AS & A-level modules.

Fast forward to today , it's been 3 years. I’m now in my second year of university, and I’ve changed a lot since then. I’ve really turned things around. I’ve been working hard academically, surrounded by a great group of people, and most importantly, becoming a better version of myself.

However, sometimes I still think about everything that happened. I won’t say the school or the coordinator were completely at fault I played a big role in it too.

On December 23rd 2025, I made a post asking if I were the asshole for not liking when my back then boyfriend spoke a language I didn't understand to women. I got roasted sooo hard by everyone on this app. My now ex recently used the post I made against me saying that I was crazy for asking such a thing from him and that everyone on Reddit said that I was crazy for not liking when he spoke Arabic to women.

Turns out I was right to feel this way. He ended up lying to me.

On October 2025, he got a phone call from his brother. He told me he was in China to "work for his dad". My ex asked him to get him some hoodies (l should've known it was a lie earlier since he never even got the hoodies). But his brother actually never went to china.

It makes me re think everything since we've been dating.

If he could lie about something so small what did even lie about. He is a pathological liar.

When I confronted him about this lie I didn't even insulted him, but he called me: "you crazy fuck", psycho bitch",

"Use your miniscule brain for once".

I didn't even insulted him once....

Even after I got insulted, I wished him to have a good life. I pray one day he can found Jesus so I can see Jesus living through him.

Also, one time my ex came to my work begging for me to leave mid shift to come with him at his place for the weekend (he lived 8 hours away from me). I refused so he stole my stuffs and was telling me that he was going to kidnap me. The next weekend, I told him

I was going to come and take my stuffs, but he refused, so he called the cops on me. He played the victim to them and told them I was crazy. He even said to me: "no one is going to believe you, you came in my car." That man is mentally insane. I hope no woman in this world is going to have to date that pathological liar and gaslighting manipulator.

I(26F) am working as a teacher (temporary)at a Japanese agency, new teacher came , and I explain the duty he was supposed to do,and I smile a lot cause it is my personality .new teacher is male (38) he was supposed to sit quietly as there's no class currently but no he follows me around, he watch me while I work and follow me to the japanese interview room I thought it's just my imagination, but during online class , which he also participate, he ask me person questions I'm leaving tomorrow to travel and he told me to bring souvenir, isn't that kinda rude , am I tripping or is he a creep ??? I need answer please

Many companies push their subscription services hoping you're not reading what you're accepting and hoping you don't realise when money goes out of your account.

My mother had been paying for not one, but two eDream prime subscriptions on one account £79.99 each, every year for multiple years. My mother is 60 yo, she isn't good with tech. I know she must've accidentally activated an eDreams subscription while booking airplane tickets years ago and has kept them not realising they were a thing. I've recently taken over her finances to support her and have noticed the subscription after being charged today. Speaking to the eDreams support team they say they can not refund renewals and that the last time my mother used an eDream booking was in 2022, 4 years ago and was a booking made through an airline. Not only have they been charging her for years for a service she hasn't used, they had two subscriptions active on her one account and the other one was going to be renewed two days later.

Even on Amazon I've had multiple random subscriptions activated like Amazon Luna or Prime video subscriptions starting with a free trial and charged few days later just from misclicks. Luckily Amazon unlike Scummy eDreams will refund subscriptions when they're just renewed and not used.

I feel sorry for the people that have had parasitic companies draining their finances without their realisation. Imo it should be illegal for companies to have subscriptions active when the consumers don't use them at all for a few months let alone a year or more.

I've been feeling like I'm just going through the motions of life lately. I put on a smile and pretend everything is fine, but honestly, I'm barely holding it together. As a mom, I feel like I'm supposed to have it all together, but some days it's a struggle to get out of bed. I'm tired of being strong for everyone else and tired of pretending like I'm okay when I'm really not. I just wish I could be honest about how I'm feeling without being judged or told to 'stay positive.'

Long story short, I am/was enrolled in dependent care for my child. I know every year the deadline is close to the end of March. This year, during the heart of March my wife was away on business for two weeks, and when she returned, we all had the flu and were sick for ~a week. We were also remortgaging our home during this time as well as preparing documents for new CPA to do taxes. Flash forward to Sunday when I realized I had not submitted any claims yet. When I logged in, they said it was beyond the window. I missed it by 4 business days.

I received no notification from the company that handles claims not my employer that this deadline was looming or that I had a massive balance that needed to be claimed.

Yes, ultimately this is my responsibility, but I do think this year was a perfect storm and there not being any appeals process is crazy. My company now gets to keep all of this money. That seems like a massive conflict of interest and they should be compelled by law to notify you.

I'm going insane, I wish I could take a visit to a therapist. My mental health is getting worse everyday

My partner really loves golden retrievers. He has a senior golden that he got long before we started living together. My partner works full time (I work part time) and takes great care of me, and I try to make his life easier where I can by doing the domestic labor (cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning) and caring for both his dog and mine (walks, vet visits, meds, etc.).

I do love his dog and think he’s sweet, but he is SUCH a burden sometimes and adds a lot of extra work for me. I’ve never really liked retrievers much because of their breed traits. He’s said he wants to have golden retrievers his whole life and get another one after his current dog passes. I don’t want to take away something that makes him happy, but I also really don’t want to have another golden (or any retriever) ever again.

Here are some of the issues I’m getting really sick of:

- He eats random shit all the time. On walks, he immediately goes for animal shit or anything on the ground. I try to watch him closely, but he’s fast. Recently both dogs ended up with worms, and I had to deep clean everything-steam clean carpets, wash sheets and couch covers which took four hours. I give them Simparica Trio monthly, so I was honestly shocked until I realized it was probably from all the gross stuff he eats. My dog doesn’t do that, so he likely got it from him. I know eating anything and everything is a retriever trait.

- He has horrible allergies and ear infections. He’s on Apoquel (which is expensive as hell) and still struggles. He needs regular ear cleanings and constant management.

- Because of his allergies, he drags his bare asshole on the carpet and leaves shit streaks that I have to clean up every time. The vet has said it’s allergy-related, not worms (until recently), but it’s still awful to deal with.

- He’s determined to roll in dirt and filth. Every time he goes outside, he scratches at the dirt and kicks it up and rolls in it. I have since gotten a spray bottle and I use that when he engages in this behavior- because rolling in the dirt flares his allergies badly. If there’s water or mud, he’ll just sit in it and coat himself.

- The shedding is insane. I vacuum multiple times a week. Trimming his coat helps a little, but it’s still a ton of maintenance.

- He’s also extremely dumb. He genuinely struggles with basic problem solving, which makes training frustrating. One time I had a towel in the back seat of my car and tossed a couple treats back there. His dog watched me throw them, but one landed under a fold in the towel so he couldn’t see it anymore. He just stood there staring at me, totally confused. I pointed right to the spot and said, “treat! it’s right there!” and he still didn’t get it. He wouldn’t even get in the car. Meanwhile, my dog heard me from a few feet away, immediately understood, jumped in, and grabbed the treat. This is just one example of many.

My dog (boxer/australian shepherd/pit mix) doesn’t have these issues. No major allergies, doesn’t eat shit or roll in dirt/filth, sheds much less, and is generally easier to manage.

I love dogs and want another one in the future, but I really do not want another retriever. I don’t know how to balance that with my partner wanting them forever, especially when I’m the one doing most of the work. I understand he works full time and I don’t- so I feel I owe him this because he gives us such a good life but STILL 🥲I can’t stand the thought of getting another golden retriever knowing that I’d do most of the care. Rant over! lol!

Been at an entry level job for a year. Good pay but I think possibly they think I’m stupid. Would feel guilt for leaving before 2-3 years. My mom died last year. I feel like my mind hasn’t been 100% for a while, my self worth and esteem both detonated. Little time for counseling and therapy but I gotta figure out how to fit it. Job is very Manuel so that’s where a lot of my errors come from. Thought I’d improve and I didn’t. Was doing well then wasn’t or was just doing ok idk. Not passionate about what I used to be. Not interested in what I used to be interested in. I feel like it’s a long time for me to still be grieving and I don’t want to be like woe is me… life just feels like too much for me to bear and empty at the same time :/ at least my problems are all temporary ones. Just life right now suck :/

I have had half a liter of vodka in the past hour. I am a trans woman, and I feel guiltyy about my boyfriends attraction to me. The fact I cannot, no matter what I do, provide children for him hurts. It hurts more than anyone could ever believe. It tears at my soul. I hurt so much, that even turning to alcohol does not help. I just wish i could be a normal woman.
