How did you get home?

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

I had to first find someone who would let me use their phone (well, several someones), then I slowly worked my way through various friends or even acquaintances who lived nearby and might be able to help. It took several people to find someone who was able to come and get me. And though he did it, he also made it clear that I wasn't to contact him anymore because in his words my life was "too chaotic" and he didn't need that kind of thing in his life.

So I got home eventually, but it took forever and ended a friendship. Woo!

For whatever it's worth, anyone that tells you straight up that you're too much trouble because of a situation that wasn't your fault probably wasn't really your friend to begin with.

That doesn't make it any less suck, but I figure it's better than nothing.

"The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious."

Except, you are pretentious.

No, I just am better than you.

You need better friends and a better family, Murphie.

I would have probably hitchhiked. Which means I probably would have been raped or murdered or something, which would pretty much be the revenge I'd have needed for them to feel like utter shit for leaving me alone.

And honestly, I'd have been lucky to even remember anyone's phone number without my phone.

Luckily I had people saved into my laptop's contact list. Otherwise I'd have been fucked.

Literally and otherwise.

Rest stops are notorious for being rape central.

Implied rape.

I generally prefer not to take my chances.

I had considered hitching, but the maintenance guy at the rest stop asked me if I had a knife on me. Because apparently if I didn't, he wouldn't recommend it.

I'm going to be honest. Unless I'm like, cooking or whatever, I don't want to find myself in a situation where I need to have a knife.
