I am SO goddamned tired of being lied to and ripped off.
I swear to god, every interaction I have with people of late turns to absolute shit. Doesn't matter if I'm having my oil changed or having a prescription filled; somebody either fucks up, breaks something, does something wrong, doesn't do what they said they would, over charges, lies or pulls a con. Ten years ago I could trust that if somebody gave me their word or conducted a business transaction they'd do it on the up and up. Sure, mistakes happen, but not malicious, vindictive fraud. It's endless. Even worse, I can see it coming from a mile away and they STILL do it. The subsequent argument is equally frustrating because people who rip you off or do something negligent all respond with the same mental gymnastics required to protect their egos.

For example; Had tires put on my car last week. I did all the due diligence, made sure they had the correct tools, reminded them over and over to be careful, made them give me their solemn vow not to damage my wheels. 'Yes sir, yes sir'. When it was over they bragged about what a good job they did. Tipped the guy heavily and left. When you get wheels changed there's a lot of lubricant and water involved so to further protect my preposterously expensive, flawless factory wheels I told them I wanted to handle the post-install clean myself. Get home. Rinse 'em off; wheels are destroyed. A week in the monkey enclosure at the San Diego zoo couldn't have fucked them up any worse. Now the dealer won't respond to calls, texts or emails meaning they knew exactly what they did and they're avoiding me. Jesus Christ man.

EVEREYTHING is like that now. Everything. People are shameless about it. They're lazy, stupid, do as little as possible to get by, want paid a fortune for substandard work and then get mad when you aren't happy with getting your shit back worse than you gave it. They will lie about anything, cheat, steal, screw and then blame YOU. And it's the same with everything and everyone now. Doesn't matter if it's a corporation or a mom and pop. Cops, lawyers, insurance agents, priests, gardeners, sales people, doctors, manufacturers, contractors, everyone....It wasn't like this 10 years ago. My god man, what happened to America???

Re: I am SO goddamned tired of being lied to and ripped off.
Can you blame them? Society has been turned into a dog-eat-dog, winner takes all, 'I got mine', 24/7 fuck-over-everyone-you-can, nightmare because of human ignorance, arrogance, obsession with money and power, and plain stupidity.

Nearly every human I meet is demonstrably an asshole. It just depends HOW MUCH on an asshole they are. And because nearly everyone else is ALSO an asshole, you get this strange situation whereby you see how INSANE people are but to them everything is normal and just the way it should be.

My advice is to try not to get angry and spiteful toward people - I'm convinced the vast majority are incapable of knowing what they do. They are sheep - simple minded meat robots. Either become like the wolf and get your revenge on them financially, or change your life to eliminate them as much as possible from your dealings.

Are we the same person because i swear to god, every interaction I have with people of late turns to absolute shit.
