It may be worthwhile to try and get some sort of law enforcement involved, especially if it's still recent, even if it's just to say "Hey, the debris that was on *road* just killed my car." It's not necessarily a "criminal" act, but then you're at least covering all of your bases in case the insurance company tries to pull some "The whole was a pre-existing condition" nonsense.

*double post shenanigans*
These honors people are really starting to test my patience. First, when trying to employ their help in constructing a project they're asking me to finish, all they can bother to tell me is that I had to somehow figure it out on my own. This isn't even stuff related to "How do I do the project" it's syntactic stuff. "Do you have a scanner I could use?" "Do you know how I can turn 3 separate word documents into a single PDF?" Nope...no hep available. I ended up getting help, but from the people that the final project was actually going towards, and they were almost too pop flyin' to help. "Let me pull up the paperwork you need to fill out! Here, use my computer! I already emailed it in you're good!"
Second, they try to guilt trip me with it.
"You know they didn't appreciate being displaced like that."
What?
"You displaced them."
Why would they go out of their way to email you about that?
"They didn't."
Then how do you know?
*turns attention elsewhere*
I swear to shit these people...the only reason I had to bother them at all was because you all suck as a support channel!

Parents are coming to visit this weekend, not only do I have to clean, but I have to look forward to the endless nagging of my mother reminding me how fat I've gotten, asking why I haven't got a job yet, complaining that I'm not doing well enough in school, and nitpicking my cleaning job no matter how well I do it.

Got a 4/20 on my Geometry exam and I am absolutely certain I didn't deserve a fucking 20%.
Among the points I missed were:
0.5 points on some 2 point problems because HAHAHA FUCK YOU IT'S NOT EXPLAINED WHY
All of the points on another 2 point problem because I made one mistake and every step I took before that mistake that was completely valid is apparently worth nothing
And most of the points on other problems because while I wasn't sure how to do them entirely, I wrote down all the steps I could and those are apparently worthless as well.
LA LA LA LA COLLEGE IS FUCKING BULLSHIT

I feel like if a professor is gonna put short answer or essay questions on any exam or quiz, they need to put an outline for what answers give you how many points, and then not be super critical of "close answers".
"Well you got close to the answer, all you needed was one more part. Here's 10% of the points."
Yeah thanks...

Try talking to the prof about it, prove that you know how to do the problem and that you can point out what you did wrong.

Might as well flip a coin with most professors that do that, though. The justification will always be "You didn't answer it fully" and "Yeah, but you took too much off" will always sound suspicious, like "I know I didn't get it right, but I deserve points anyway."

My Sunday availibility at work ends at 8PM so I can get home and go to bed before 3AM so I'm not dead in class the next day. They decided to schedule me until 11PM this Sunday. I'm going in early tomorrow and telling them to either switch me with the 8PM person or just close the deli with the 10PM person because there's no way in hell I'm letting that fly.

It takes you 7 hours to get home and get to bed?

I got kicked on CS:GO because my team was fucking stupid. They kept rushing Long A on Dust 2 and expecting different results after like 4 times. Then I got bomb and announced to go B. I was the only one that went, but I was fed up at this point and just kept going. They got wiped out in like 12 seconds and I actually got the bomb down and had a decent chance of winning the round (2v1). Then with like 20 seconds left on the bomb they kicked me for "not announcing the plan."
I've not really had a great day, so this kinda rustled me off.

20-30 min to get home, depending on how far work is.
another hour to get food
and 5-5.5 hours to swear you'll go to bed early but then interesting things keep popping up on your internet feed.

Feeling better emotionally again, but now it feels like I'm getting sick again.
On top of that, people wanting cheddar from me when they have absolutely no right to, and now I have to waste time calling places - and I can't even take care of that tomorrow because no one works sunday, fucking shit

Goddamnit, I saw a picture of the thing that terrifies me more than anything else in the entire world, and my heart jumped, which caused the blood vessels in my left arm to conflagrate!

Yeah basically. My job involves a lot of walking and activity and shit so I'm wired to hell and back when I get home so I need a few hours to relax. On days I work to 11 I can't get to sleep until about 3AM

One of my friends has been acting weird lately and kinda been pissing me off. He keeps ignoring everyone, even his girlfriend, and he keeps complaining about the future and yet at the same time hasn't been making any plans at all for it. All he does now is listen to Childish Gambino and play Runescape and sports games and use Twitter all day.
