My brother has the weirdest attitude problem, he gets angry over everything!

Heres an example, tonight...

My car is in the shop, so I needed a ride home from work. I was supposed to call him, and he was supposed to pick me up. We had to do this before I got my car.

The phone wouldn't accept any phone calls. "The circuits are busy", "Message could not be sent". I tried from 3 different phones, work, my friends work, and my friends cell. I'm going to assume this is from my mom's change in phone policy. She called the phone company and said no long distance. Apparently my job is "long distance", 12 miles away.

I couldn't not get a call across no matter what. I wasn't sure if he was going to forget, or if he fell asleep, or still waiting for me to call. So I asked my friend to take me home, and drive by the parking lot to make sure he didn't try and pick me up. I didn't see his car, so he took me home. I get home and he isn't here, so he went to go pick me up, but he doesnt' have a cell or anything so I can contact him.

He just came home right now, my mom went to try and talk to him to tell him what happened with the phone, and he just pulled out, floored it, and left.

Hes always had a pissy attitude about everything, Espically stupid things, and when he doesn't get his way. I can understand being a little angry about this, but hes clearly overexgerating this whole deal.

Bleh.

As my friend once said about a teacher we once had,

"He needs to take the buttplug out of his ass, and take a look around."

My younger brother can be a little bitch at times. Somehow, the same environmental variables that gave me things such as due consideration for others only gave him a selfish, bitchy attitude.

I feel for you. :D

Yeah, I havn't talked to him yet. I knew he was going to be pissed just because he always is.

I remember one time, I got a ride home from work, because I didn't want him to drive up here and pick me up when my ride doesn't live too far away, and could just drop me off. He was pissed off because I didn't call him to tell him I got a ride, so he was "Busy, waiting for me, when he could be doing other things". He was jobless at the time, and he really doesn't go out. So, I really wonder what "those other things" were.

Hes probally not going to talk to me for about a week. Hes done it before. Oh Nos! :p

I did last time when he had another temper tantrum.

We were outside, and he was supposed to cut this tree we cut down into pieces, so the garbage man can take it.

IIRC, (this was about a year ago), I was holding it, and he was going at it with the chainsaw. He was telling me to hold it. I told him I am holding it. He said "Hold It" very loud/angerly/whatever, I replied "I am!" louder, and he got angry and tried to take a swing at me. I ended up giving him a bloody nose. I got out of there untouched.

Pissy attitude huh? Hes 24, and I'm 17.

Mall closes at 9:30. I was there at 10:15, and he wasn't there. Was I supposed to ditch my only ride at the time to just wait for another, ride that wasn't certain to come? If my friend didn't take me home, and he forgot, how else was I supposed to get home?

if i were u, i'll just let it go and concentrate on getting your car fixed. with an attitude like that, talking to him will prolly make it worse. if he starts talking to you, fine, if not, so be it. at least you're not at each other's throat.

Sounds like My Ex wifes mom. She's a Drama queen to the letter. (Even her family can't stand her) Drives us bonkers.

Think she knows everything.

i can see how that can be a problem. u took a ride home from work without telling him. he comes by anyway. so how did you getting a ride home help him? i think the little things add up, and eventually, he becomes overly sensitive with everything.

he has his own life to live, so thats what he probably meant when he said he could be doing other things.

my reasoning only works with this situation though :)

He didn't drive to pick me up. He was still at home when I got my ride home. He never left the house.

I understand that I probally should have told him I didn't need a ride before hand in that situation, but he was seriously angry about that. I can understand being a little fustrated.... but not shouting and screaming and stuff.

His attitude is really irritating. He'd say stuff that doesn't bother me too much, because I'm a carefree person, but I know If I said the same things back, he'd get angry over it.

Gosh, thankfully he isn't married or dating or whatever, I'd feel bad for his woman/wife and kids for having to put up with his garbage.

AHAHAHA, HE ACTUALLY PULLED OUT AND FLOORED IT? LOL...I can see it now, he's kinda teary eyed cuz he's so angry he's about to cry, but he hasn't cried yet, so his eyes are getting watery, and he has a pouty look to his face, and he just grips his steering wheel so tight that you can see the veins bulging out of his forearms and he just floors his car so that there's a screeching sound an rubber left on the ground and a cloud of smoke is all that you see.

Hmm... Maybe he has sexual identity issues. ;)
