Situations you hate but can't get out of

[The Artificially Prolonged]

On driving, people constantly changing the song playing, play more than 5 seconds of a song or so help me God I will throw you out of this car while it's still moving.

Also I hate given my mother a lift, especially on motorways. She's a bad driver and is too scared to go on motorways herself, but that does not stop her being the worse back seat driver I have ever seen. Any trip is just her repeating the same lines over and over again. "Slow down", "watch out for that guy overtaking you", "are you checking you mirrors?" and my personal favourite her shouting "OH GOD LOOK OUT!" to something off to the side that she thinks is a hazard but isn't of course distracting from what is straight ahead and making me rage.

But to say something relatively new, I hate it when I?m talking in a group of friends or acquaintances, and I say something in an attempt to contribute to the discussion, and it?s completely ignored. There's the awkward silence from within me that anything I say isn't worth being listened to, since this happens more times than it should.

If these "friends" don't listen to or value your input, are they even friends or acquaintances at all, or strangers that to some extent, mind the extra body around (you) but are too passive-aggressive to outright say anything about it? There's no point in sticking around if they're doing this stuff to you consistently.

*topic* Talking to people unless I have a few drinks in me, and even then I feign complete drunkenness so they'd hopefully move on. Super effective vs all but the most social/persistent of people.
