I Put My Cat to Sleep Last Week

[Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

I got to my job early and rushed through everything I could so I could take my cat to the vet on Tuesday. We found a lump on him a little over two years ago and it ended up being cancer. We did what we could but it was never going to be enough. He lost so much weight in the last couple weeks and was we made our decision when he stopped eating and drinking. If we didn’t do it soon, he would have had a much more painful passing. I took him myself so my family didn’t have to be there. I left his carrier open a little too much so he didn’t have to feel so trapped. He never liked the carrier. This time, he crawled out of it and sat in the passenger seat next to me just to prove how sweet and perfect he was all the way to the end.
I told him he was my best friend because he was. I told him that some of the best parts of the last ten years had been watching him jump up and rush to meet me when I got home from work. There is no one in our house that didn’t love him with their full heart. We’re all going to miss him so much.
The vet that did the procedure was very kind. I held him and he went very peacefully. I know I did the right thing but it still feels awful. I left him on the table and went home with an empty cat carrier. I did a work out and ate some dinner and went to sleep so I can continue working everyday and fulfilling all my adult responsibilities. Everything set to a schedule. Barely any time to grieve. He gave us more than we could ever give him.
I got home the next day and he wasn’t there to greet me at the door. 
I can feel him sitting next to me in the car as I drive to and from work.
He was my best friend.
I miss my cat.—Anonymous

Business As Usual

[Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

I haven’t been following the Russel Brand case, save for unsuccessfully trying to scroll past angry comments on social media. It’s all too familiar how, regardless of which ‘side’ people are on, Twitter (and this case) continue to bring out the worst in people. What I see when I look at this is: hate, hate, hate, hate, and more hate. Endless hate. I don’t see anything that magically convinces me to agree with someone’s view point, one way or the other. It’s all the same toxic behavior, and sadly, quite disheartening. I guess “touch grass” is just as relevant solution as ever.—Anonymous

Same Same, Dumb Asshole

[Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

My Uber driver and I had a little challenge locating each other in downtown. When I finally spotted him, I walked up to the car in the road. He was stopped at a stoplight. Before that some massive SUV honked at him for driving down the road to stop at a stoplight. I walked between the cars to get into my Uber first in line at the stoplight, and mouthed to the car, “fucking relax.” I am not a fan of Ubers stopping in the road to pick up a ride, most especially if it’s holding up traffic. I am not a fan. This occasion was different because it was a stop. He wasn’t moving. I got in, still red light. We sat for a minute on the red light. Light turns green, the car behind zooms on by all stink ass underoos riding up his ass. As usual to all these idiots, to have to stop at the very next block because of a red light. Now we’re behind him, and at the Apple store, you know it, no lights, this fucking ass idiot stops to pick someone up. If that ain’t some fucking dumbass bullshit. I hope “they” eat their stink ass underoos everyday all day long. That is what is wrong with society and human nature. Has nothing to do with any real issues in the world. Just dumbass people, born and being entitled idiots all their lives.—Anonymous

Hey, We’re All Dudes

[Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

Yeah, it’s hard. But serving the gods and concepts bigger than oneself is worthy work. If I ask anything, it’s that we recognize that nothing truly awesome and amazing comes from single individuals, real progress and change comes from something greater than any human. This is why we don’t worship humans, they’re underwhelming.—Anonymous

The World is Just Full of Irony

[Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

To the man who wants to help the dude who is passed out and slunked over the seat. You are a saint for checking on him, making sure he’s okay, and alive. Yet you move away from him once he gets up as if he has a virus. Then when you’re at your new seat, there’s cardboard trash and a plastic cup on the ground, to which you kick the cup away from you because it is causing you a disturbance. I guess save humans, but who cares about garbage, litter, and the environment. Am I the saint for throwing the cup away? Or maybe that’s just the janitors job that is beneath you, right? Not your job, not your problem.
Right on. Makes sense.—Anonymous

Walking

Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

It’ll clear your head. Get some fresh air. Get your blood flowing with exercise.
Yea, it’s just not enjoyable or peaceful. 
You got loud bikes, or car engines zooming by. You got speeding cars hissing by. You got cars blasting headlights in your face if it’s dark. You got cars that can’t stop at a stop sign or use a turn signal. 
Then you got barking dogs. Sometimes there’s at least one that’ll bite your leg. You got humans on porches just watching every step you take. You got unfriendly humans to walk by. Remember, “we can’t wait to see your smiling faces” as the pandemic was ending. What smiles! To this day! 
You got loud bashing concrete, depending. You got sirens, depending. 
You got noise. Noise. Noise. Distraction. Horns. 
Nah. I think I’ll stay home and play video games or watch Tik Tok. 
Not. The rest of y’all will.—Anonymous

The Freight

Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

This is a frieght elevator for a reason. For moving freight for those people who have carts of things to move up or down. You may consider your body freight but I consider you a lazy fucking slob. Hey lazy fuck. This is what you could consider. You hold up an already busy and slow elevator because you’re a lazy ass fucking fuck. You could try to consider people who really need it instead of your lazy selfish entitled ass. You could try walking up one flight of stairs. Crazy huh. This is a 3 story building, mainly. Yea, there’s a fourth floor and the in between levels which makes it even more pathetic your lazy ass cannot walk up one flight of stairs. This isn’t something you do once in a while. This is the same lazy asses doing it every day, every time they need to go up, or down for fucks sake. Your lazy ass can’t even go down one flight of stairs. You could also take the passenger elevator or the escalator to get to whatever floor you desire, then again your lazy ass could either walk up or down, one flight of stairs. But let me guess, getting to those places is too far of a walk, on a horizontal path, right. You could also consider your health and exercise. If walking up some stairs can’t be your tiny bit of exercise, it’s not a wonder why you consider your body freight.—Anonymous

If I Die In My Work Uniform…

Got an anonymous confession or rant you just have to share with the world? Submit it to I, Anonymous HERE!—eds]

If I die in my work uniform, you should know that I was overworked and under slept and just trying to contribute to my family. 
If a bar overserves a drunk and sends them out to drive, that is a crime right? Or even a restaurant and I think just a person who sends a drunk person away when they know they’ve had too many? Not totally sure about that last one, but definitely responsible if not criminal. If I drove a truck, I definitely couldn’t be allowed to work this many hours, but I’m just driving a car at around 3am and getting home around 4 or 5 or 6 or 7pm. 
Some kid, maybe ten or twelve, got run over in Gresham last year. Probably not the only vehicle on kid fatally. Just the one I read about and remember cause it happened near my house. 
If I accidentally kill your kid when I’m driving home, especially if I’m wearing my work uniform, definitely don’t forgive me. But maybe someone should investigate Big Potato Chip.—Anonymous
