Nah, I remember, just as one example, I was like 14 and I got a bowl of creal, went into the other room to eat it. my mother shouted so loud it sounded like she blew out a lung, I ran in, and she shouts "I KNOW YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE."
There was
no this is a real thing that happens to some people. My brother was high on drugs, stole my dads car, and crashed it into a column of the driveway. Causing us to fix the column, as well as the car. No punishment.
5 days later i got grounded for TWO MONTHS for turning on the kitchen lights, waking my mom up who fell asleep on the couch.
I remember this time when some bitch flew up a back road at 70mph and smashed her car into the front bumper of my truck.
When I went home, my parents yelled at me for like an hour because "I caused the wreck, and our insurance rates would skyrocket"
A week later, her insurance calls and asks if we need our car repaired.
Apparently, she got a ticket for wreckless driving, speeding, and causing an accident. Her insurance paid out $3000 for her car, and just to spite her for messing my bumper up, I got a whole new one, even know the damage wasn't that bad.
Ladies and gentlemen this a psychological phenomenon we call displacement, you're really mad about the other thing, but all that anger comes out attached to something smaller because for whatever reason you didn't express it in relation to the first thing.
My Dad was like this, and because of this, I'm the most apathetic ************ in the world. When everything is a God damn emergency, you eventually stop caring about the **** that actually is an emergency.
"You almost got in an accident! How can you not be phased!"
"Because you'll yell at me for something as trivial as 'you didn't call right at 7 last sunday'..."
Yea man, that's very true. I guess it's mostly because they care about your health more than a car, as they should, you know? I totaled my car last winter 1 week before Christmas. I was going around 80 km/h on a too snowy highway and my car kind of planed on the thick snow and I went into the railing, ripped out half the front bumper and the cooler or washing-fluid or tank thing, scratched all the plastic bits of the right side etc. Luckily even though I was going 80, it was a pretty soft impact and I just kind of ground along the railing, so the airbag didn't deploy. Anyway, I called my dad to come tow me and though he would freak, but he just asked if I was okay and if I could drive the car off the highway, but it wouldn't start. We bought a new used car like 4 hours later.
On the other hand, my sister scratched her phone screen, still completely usable, and hell broke loose.
<pic related, it's my poor car
No seriously if I totaled my car even if a deer literally ran headfirst into my car
I'd first be checked to see if I'm okay, hugged, then screamed at for totaling the car and not watching for deer, then apologized to and told they'll help me through the insurance process.
Pretty much, I actually totaled our old car from a very anticlimactic and slow crash into the back of an elderly couple's car during a very sudden queue on the highway. My mom pretty much just accepted it, but she'll get angry if I don't clean my room often enough.
Although the car crash was something you couldn't control too much, cleaning your room is something you can... My dad told me (when I had an accident and had the car crashed) that even though I am okay, life goes on and I need to do my chores.
Well she said that, but I still feel like I could've braked a bit harder or not packed the car as heavily, but speculation doesn't really serve any purpose. My main point is CHILL THE **** OUT I'LL GET IT DONE OK
