Why me? Why does it always happen to me?

TheCatWoman

On top of all the others expensive stuff going on like xmas and dentists, my wellies have sprung a leak, just what you want when walking through an ankle deep puddle! So I thought to myself, all I need to do is a simple search for another pair of the ones I've got as they fit perfectly, easy peasy lemon squeezy, but no no no everything but what I want comes up. Why does this always happen to me? I'm so sick of it, I feel fit to burst into tears, everytime I want something, I get everything but. It dosen;t matter what form of words I use or where I search, I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with my computer and the internet in general. I ask for something perfectly reasonable and it smacks me in the face, leaving me feeling bruised and abused and absolutely useless.

    Why not repair them:

    For around £7-8 you can get a kit to seal the leak. You get to keep your comfy wellies, save creating more trash and save money.

    Oh thanks Iain, I was only thinking last night if I could use a bycycle repair kit for my wellies, I'd just have to find the hole, which is probably Fearn tooth shaped and small. She bites at my feet when we're out walking and she wants me to run with her, or throw something for her. I've never been able to get her out of her obession with shoes.

    I don't know what it is with me and the internet, or me and computers, I've done a search and nothing comes up, someone else does an identical search and loads of stuff comes up. I hate it when I search for something and I get one thing and a load of sponsered ads.

    I'm not someone who has much stuff or much attachment to it, for me its mostly cargo, but when I need a replacement for something I actually need, like wellies and even this simple thing is too much for a machine that tells us it can help us find anythng, anywhere in the world, I lose my temper. Especially when it's items of clothing, maybe I've spent to many years walking around shops and finding nothing that fits me, being insulted by snarky shop assistants and walking round in clothes that are near rags, shoe's that are broken or have holes in. It make me feel as though I don't fit in the world and no amount of wise words from people who don't live my life actually help, in fact they make it worse, it feels like a slap on both cheeks, rahter than just the one. I feel guilty for wanting something as simple as a pair of shoes that fit and don't leak and that I'm not allowed to feel upset or angry about it.

    I'm sorry if that upsets those who wish me to take a more spiritual path over something like this.
