The root of my frustrations

I've been feeling increasingly frustrated recently where this frustration has built up into large quantites over a couple of months.

I feel the root of my frustration has been due to one thing: DRIVING.

I am SICK of driving everywhere. It's becoming so tedious. I feel like i havent had a day in weeks where i havnt had to drive anywhere. Another problem I have with driving is that i feel that the more i drive, the more impatient i become, which means the more likely i am to take risks while driving and so become more likely to be involved in an accident.

This is made worse by the fact that i also often have to drive around for work. (I would have preferred to work instore but they were really insistent that I deliver as well). The problem with delivering is that you have to make sure you can cover petrol costs, you have to use your own car which increases "wear and tear", but the biggest problem is insurance. The excess I have to pay for insurance if i crash is$3, 300, which, in my view, defies the point of having insurance because I am extremely unlikely to be in an accident that will cost more than $3, 300 in repairs or anything else. However, if I was under 21, this insurance excess fee would only be $1,600 which is still a lot, but is much less than the fee I would currently have to pay.

I also always have to drive my sis everywhere and i am getting sick of it and becoming frustrated (with her). Whenever I get a text message from her, i can always guess before i even read the text mesage that she wants to be picked up from somewhere. (I feel guilty when i become frustrated with other ppl as i reason that maybe i am just being really selfish).

So what I would say to someone who has their full license would be:" you should have got your license after everyone else has got theirs because after you get your license, everyone will want you to drive them everywhere"

-My advice to someone with their full license would be "encourage all your family and friends to get their full license as fast as they can.";)

-My advice to someone without their full license would be: "get your full license as fast as you can a.s.a.p.!";)

I'm ok with driving a little, but not too much.

I can see your point.

Ok, I will try to get my full license so that I can repay you ;) And I'm not afraid to pay for parking fees once a week either.

Whoops, ur right. I meant to say "over", not "under."

It should say: "However, if I was over 21..."

I do proof read what I write, but I only usually pick up spelling or gramtical errors;)

*sigh*... "Gramatical errors" was what I meant to write
