So something shitty just happened and I really need to vent about it. I’m so angry and hurt right now. My brother tried to purposely crash his car because he didn’t want to go into work today. We work at the same place so we usually carpool in together. He kept complaining the whole way there about how much he hates his job and how he wishes they would fire him.

On the street leading into our work there’s a side street that has a really bad blind spot. People coming out of the street into the main rode tend to just pull out carelessly. We’ve nearly gotten into an accident more times then I can count just from driving past it. Today when we were passing that side street he started speeding up really fast. I got scared and told him to slow down and he told me to shut the fuck up. I thought he was just afraid of being late for work at first but then it dawned on me. He was hoping someone would pull out of the side street and he would get into an accident. He wouldn’t have to go to work. Here’s the thing, the side street is on the passenger side, meaning I would’ve been the one feeling the crash the most. I could’ve been seriously injured or even killed. But I doubt that crossed his mind. Or he just didn’t care.

I’m so mad. He acts like such an entitled child. He hates his job so much but doesn’t even attempt to find a new one. My mom and I have been telling him for years now to just quit. My mom even wrote a resignation letter for him. He refuses and complains that no one else will hire him. So he just stews in his mysery and takes it out on us. He does nothing to improve his life. This whole incident just infuriates me so much. He’s so selfish. He’d risk his own sisters life because he doesn’t want to go to work. He’s like a child trying to everything to get out of going to school. Only difference is he can freely leave this job at any time. But I guess risking his car and sister just to get out of working is easier then quitting a job that pays $16 an hour and finding something better. But what do I know? I’m not his sister, I’m just a nag and collateral damage in his dream on-purpose car crash.
