If it's ok for you then that's great for you. I find it inconsiderate. Everything you mentioned trying to make a point is uncontrollable.

It just forces you to clean your windshield because their spray gets on your windshield. More of a minor annoyance. But I just pass that person and clean my windshield and then I feel like we're even. lol
Also, maybe consider moving out of Orange County, CA. I just looked it up, and the cost of living there is 51% higher than the national average. You are poorer living there if you don’t have the earning power to support it.

There is no such thing as an unpreventable accident.
Hahaha that’s pretty funny. You get mad or annoyed because somebody “makes” you clean your windshield?
Why is this annoying or inconsiderate? It’s just something that happens when you drive around a lot of other people. It’s not like they delayed you or changed lanes without signaling.
If they asked first like the guys on the corner with their squeegees would it be ok then?
What's your thought about ignoring the distractions? I am proud of myself for how I ignored all the ladies, bars, and social media other than FB. If I limited more distractions, the level of PTSD would be much less. Still, I am proud to not have Instagram or TikTok. Distractions are not something I intend to spend time on at all, since I never got anything out of it.
Diverting the course is my plan to save myself from making things worse. Too much risk, not going to play around with mental health, rather I'm taking it seriously. I think it is a chance to improve myself and listening to myself to what I want to do, which I never did until this year.
$25/h in SoCal is not a lot even though it might be great in other states, food servers would get paid more with tips here. McDonald's starts at $18/h. The money won't motivate me to be there. $25/h is something peers would laugh about and take videos of you to make fun of you online... I like how you didn't say that and I disagree with the fact there is a useless/worthless job, every job is important. You are right @Himewad but I don't know where to go. I got out of CA to go to college 2,000 miles away from home, it was the only place I never got used to it. So competitive here, but where to go? Applying for positions in NV (except Las Vegas which I will be addicted to gambling) and AZ.
Or perhaps you've made them aware
The word I used was uncontrollable not unpreventable.

Distractions? Ladies weren't a distraction - they were my focus! Bars - meh... I could do without, though I have been known to frequent them in my youth. Social media wasn't a thing. Still isn't for me. PCF is my social media. I use Facebook for poker invites and occasional direct messaging.
As far as peers laughing at you? Dude, you can bet if someone mentions bullshit at a PCF meetup, there will be many people laughing at you. I'm a long-haired firefighter. Do you think, even for a moment, that I don't know people talk behind my back? Mock me? Disparage me? Add to that, I'm an atheist yankee in the bible belt in a town that refused to remove their confederate statue from the town square.
I'm fine though. As far as I've seen, you have a charmed life that people actually kill to try to achieve. You just want so much god-dammed more. Well chump, if that's what you want, stop crying and DO SOMETHING. Make your own bed for a change. It's not that hard - except those cursed hospital corners.
Sorry mom, I haven't made a hospital corner in 40 years. I guess they aren't that important.

I don’t get mad or annoyed at all. Like I said it’s a minor inconvenience. But I’m an asshole. So if you minorly inconvenience me, I’ll minorly inconvenience you.

If I have to clean my windshield I do it when I’m not spraying a car behind me. I don’t consider it a rule of the road or anything, just being considerate of others in my opinion.

Don’t ever intentionally do this to a car guy with a fast car. Said car guy will control the next 5 minutes of you speed & travel, and you will have no choice but to accept your fate - or exit

I'm too busy for ladies because school work was insanely difficult and that was the #1 focus, so I was able to only focus on my goals and wasn't the only one who was like this. Bars were never my thing because I don't drink, instead only drink to sleep. Also, never liked having a bedtime, I know most people like but that's not my priority now. Dating and bedtime are optional in my life, simply too young for it.
I hate when people post anyone's face video on the internet to mock each other, that's not good for recruiters who look up people's names on Google. Sometimes people post dumb videos of themselves with their legal names and faces... One reason I don't like TikTok, people use to be mean to others. Talking behind anyone's back is never cool and I walk away with them. Waste of time and I usually block them without notice.
I cry because I've been doing stuff but not going well for half a year, and I feel like I'm not making any results in the past half year. I spent 300 hours in the past 2 months with 35 versions of my resume, so I am doing stuff it's just nobody sees it. Writing a non-technical resume is something I haven't done before, so it takes a lot of time and effort. I've been talking with professors I knew from college because they remember my great work ethic and were willing to give some great feedback for free. I truly appreciate the people who help me for free in their own time.
I did call them a few times. I am also getting help already, and going to ask more in the next appointment.
I'm not suicidal, feeling super down and moving on, throwing away my dirty past. My dirty past holds me back from moving forward.
But how do you feel about the driver in front of you cleaning their windshield and spaying all over your car?

I get it tho. If you have OCD, you can't just let it dry because then you'll have spots. But if you use your wipers, then you have the outline on the edges of where the windshield wipers hit...

OK, I'll dig into the weeds here.
You found school work to be "insanely difficult"?
You do realize that you were going to school to get a job, right? Something you would do for the rest of your life?
If it was that difficult, you should have switched majors. You shouldn't be doing something in school that is so difficult that you can't understand it, so you could get a career doing something that is legitimately (in your own words) insane.
Sure, it's too late for me to give this advice to you right now, but c'mon man. Nobody says "This is insanely difficult, despite my hard work ethic that professors still remember me because of it - I want to do this forever".
No! just.... NO!
Maybe this is coming through in interviews. You are applying for a job that you cannot mentally do. Cut it out, takes a civil service exam and get a job working in sanitation. This is not an insult. I worked 5 years behind a garbage truck. It was the second-best job I ever had. Very calm. Very enjoyable on days it didn't snow or rain. Mentally relaxing, and some great philosophical discussions. I've worked with a former nurse, a former nuclear engineer, and a former roadie who all got burned out and took a job working sanitation.
...and if anyone posts a video of you tossing trash on Facebook, I can't imaging an employer saying "Don't hire him. He will work hard and do whatever it takes to take care of himself/his family."
Now, STFU. Let us get on with real important bullshit, like window spritzers.
Yeah right I learned I can't do it mentally. Also realized lost passion in the process.
#4 Engineering program in the nation was just too much for me. If it's a casino, the college I went to was sure in the high limit room, and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. Correcting it and moving forward now, will heal my distress and PTSD too.
Will burn my degree and cancel it, then will be quiet. It disguises me a lot and it's my freedom to get rid of my work, like throwing it away. I have no more complaints if I do that! I am super happy! That's my way of expressing my 1st amendment rights.

Exactly. Window washer fluid is expensive, I don't know why y'all are complaining about a freebie.

This windshield wiper fluid stuff is cracking me up. You think it's bad when someone sprays their windshield and it hits your car? Try being on your bike. REALLY not fun lol!

We are talking about escalation here now, not just water on the windshield, right?

Well, I’m on a no clock life, so that car just becomes my new chew toy to play with until I grow bored.
I have fun, but I’m not sure about the other car.
If they’re free all day everyday, then we’ll probably finally pull over and become friends. I like new friends. @greenchip needs friends. Hey greechip, spray my car with your windshield fluid

@greenchip,
I met you at the Vegas meet up this year and you seem like a pretty decent kid. I use the word “kid” only because I’m more than twice your age, not intended to be taken negatively.
Listen, success and happiness in one’s life are only going to be defined by that individual. It is ultimately up to the individual to figure out what their version of it is and then PURSUE IT!
There will always be outside societal pressures and people that will try and influence you in one direction or another.
Some advice you’ll receive will be really good, some not so much. Only YOU can figure out what’s best for YOU.
Life is tough more often for most than not.
Don’t be afraid to try and fail at something. It’s learning from our mistakes that makes us grow, but YOU have to be the one willing to pick yourself up and push yourself forward. NO ONE, not your friends, not your parents and definitely not this forum is going to do that for you.
Do some soul searching and learn to be really honest with yourself. I believe it’s only then that one can truly begin to move forward.
I’ve never taken down a poker tournament with pocket aces or pocket kings for that matter. I have taken them down with 7-5 off and 2-5 off, anything is possible if YOU want it bad enough.
Best of luck my friend, the pathway forward is never easy but I think you can manage it.

Lol, see where escalation over a little bit of water on someone else’s windshield goes?
I ask what’s the big deal about water on your car, and then suddenly I’m challenged to a road rage duel and crowned King of the Dicks!
