It's Saturday night, and my boss just called and asked me to come into work.
Apparently, there is some kind of emergency.

I told him I was too stoned to drive. Then I told him to kiss my ass.

How dare he want to put me at risk for getting in an accident.

1. Whose decision was it to get stoned?
Take responsibility for your own actions.

2. He did take responsibility.
He refused to put anyone in danger while DUI. Were everyone as responsible; a lot more people would be alive and functioning.

41. psychologists get trolled probably more than most people in the general population
I know several sociopaths who fuck with psychologists for their personal "amusement". Psychologists ain't mindreaders. And plenty of them suck.

46. Yahhh I kinda feel sorry for you now
I gave you too much credit. I guess you really are kinda, umm, not in a good place and really did have that experience with your boss and then type about it in a public forum and then reveal the status of your psychological treatments with another poster.

Creepy.


Disengaging now....

4. Why would you expect him to know you would be stoned?
Telling him to kiss your ass was not necessary.

8. Why would I expect him to know?
Because it is Saturday night.

And it certainly WAS necessary for me to tell him to kiss my ass.

19. Well, I hope you have a job on Monday.
Most places frown on drug use, and telling your boss to kiss your ass was probably a firing offense.
