I get upset over the dumbest things.

Like just now my neighbor across the street knocked on my door to ask me if I knew about the red truck across the street.

I politely let him fumble out words to get across the fact that he wanted me to move the truck.

See the thing is, Josh was suppose to move that truck into the driveway, but never did. So I was waiting out to see how long it was going to take him to move it.

Our neighbor looks me in the eye and states. "Did you know there is a city ordinance on parking on the street overnight?"
"Really?" I said wide-eyed.
"Oh yes!" he continues,"And my wife keeps complaining each time she looks out the window and sees it..."

Of course I had to laugh. That's when the cat ran out our front door for freedom, or rather he wanted to hide under our van and catch a few sunbeams. He likes to flop on the ground and soak up the rays.

Anyways after I caught the cat, which took me all of a minute, I looked up at him and said. "Well, in the name of marital bliss, I will definately move that truck." He laughed and walked back across the street.

I moved the truck. I guess if I had to choose who's marital bliss I had to save today, it was going to be my neighbor across the street that I didn't know.

That's when I got upset. Our neighbor wasn't mean to me, and overall it was a pleasant transaction, I think I was more upset that I got in trouble for Josh's mistake. Then I started to second guess myself, because I could have moved the truck, but I was being stubborn as usual and trying to make a point. You know, the 'why is it that you don't do things when I ask like a naggy wife,' point. Because this all could have been avoided.

That's when I called Josh and chewed him out. I was now mad that I got in trouble for his problem. Then I became ten times more upset now that I yelled at Josh, out of guilt that I probably made Josh feel bad. And when I told Josh, I made it sound like our neighbor was out of line. But he wasn't. I was just mad at that point.

All this just so I could prove a point.

So stupid.
