anger x 10
12:30 last night Tom's car breaks down as he goes to get his papers. He calls my mother (who came down to my room to get my cell phone for his number to give to my dad). He asks my mom to come get him and if he can borrow her truck. There is no way in hell my mom would let anyone borrow her truck unless it was dad. So she took Tom on his paper route. She didn't get home to sleep until 5 a.m. Toward the end of the route, Tom's brother and his friends come in his girlfriend's car to pick up Tom. Tom's brother can't drive because it's a stipulation of his probation. Tom's brother and his friends have nasty mouths and so does Tom when they're together. So my mom heard all of that. My dad calls Tom on his way home from work about 7:30 this morning. Tom says yeah, he'll meet dad here and they'll go tow his car back. Did I mention it's completely dead? Yeah, well, my dad waited up until 9:45 to go get that damn car. Tom never came home or called. When dad talked to him, he barely got anything out of him, but he had said they were taking Jess' car back to his brother's house. How the hell was he supposed to get home? Even I know damn well that Jess isn't going to turn around and bring him back home. She probably wasn't even awake.
I am so fucking pissed at him right now. Why would he get a job delivering papers if his car is a piece of shit? When he comes home I will tell him that a) I don't appreciate his *friends* talking dirty around my mother who so nicely offered to stay awake and help him until 5 a.m, b) I really don't appreciate him telling my very tired father that he'll meet him to tow the car if he isn't going to do so or even call to tell him, c) I do not want him spending the day anywhere without telling me as I had no idea where he was and since he's at his brother's we all know exactly what they're doing, d) he better damn well get another job real soon or he can go be a lazy bum and live with his brother so they can smoke pot everyday. You cannot tell me that you don't see his laziness. I don't write about everything he does, but I know I paint a pretty clear picture. I'm sick of this. As soon as he gets his ass home he can hear all of this too.
Almost any other guy is looking more responsible than him lately. And that's saying something considering the guys I know.
Yes, I know I am the queen of run-on sentences.
