When something annoys you or upsets you do you find that it goes over and over in your head for days or maybe weeks afterwards?
I am like that and I wish I wasn't as I realise that it makes me anxious and I am always the same whenever something gets to me.
Yesterday a neighbour came over for a coffee. He had offered to take my brother and me out for the day for a drive when my brother is up visiting next. My brother has agreed but says he wants my dogs to go with us. So I told my neighbour this but didn't like his response.
He said that my dogs might dribble in his car and he would be able to smell it for weeks afterwards. Then he said that dog hairs would get in his car and said that he would only agree if I hoover his car out afterwards. Then he said that my dogs would jump around all over the place so it would not be safe. Then he said that there was too many livestock and it wouldn't be worth taking the dogs because they would have to stay on the lead.
He has really quite vexed me. For one, my dogs are very well behaved in the car. They always travel with a harness attached to the seatbelts so they cannot move about. He accepted that eventually. Two, I don't think that dogs dribble smells.
He invited me over to his house a few months ago with my dogs for a couple of hours. Then for weeks, he moaned that it took him TWO DAYS to hoover up the dog's hairs and that he could still smell the dribble after weeks. Both my dogs have very short fur and don't shed very much at all. One is a boxer and the other a staffie cross. So how has it taken him two days to hoover up two hours of dog hairs from dogs who hardly shed fur, let alone shedding in two hours. I may not hoover my whole house for months, then it will take me one day to hoover the dogs hairs up in the whole house so I think he is well OTT on this.
So how would it be with his car? He would be moaning for weeks that he can smell dribble, and all the hoovering in the world is not going to satisfy him.
My brother wants to go, but my bro will not be the one listening to his moaning for the next X number of weeks. And why the H should I hoover out his car afterwards anyway. What a cheek. I don't even want to go out on this trip with this neighbour.
What do I do? What would you do? Should I be hoovering his car out willingly and cheerfully?
And now this scenario is going to be going around in circles in my head for days or weeks now. Do any of you get this problem when something annoys you?
