I relate to this. I think what you are saying is that everyone expects things to go perfectly.
I am a bit of a perfectionist and if things don't go the way I think they should I do feel upset. But I believe we are all perfectionists to some degree and that there is no point getting stroppy about it - that's not going to solve anything.
I believe perfectionism can be part of the causes of why some people are depressed. Combating this step by step I believe is very important for alleviating a lot of depressive feelings. For example a person with SA may find the courage to go and have a conversation with someone. But when it doesn't work out "perfectly" they become upset and feel worse than before instead of working on things step by step. What needs to be done is to change the way in which people think in a compassionate and caring manner. But making a sarcy-style post about people who are clearly suffering from major issues doesn't do anything positive at all. However I do understand your frustration

The rulebook comes out attached to the umbilical-cord, either stapled or paper-clipped, and is usually attached to the "How to Be a Parent" guide (which gets lost more often than you would think).
Check your baby-pictures.
If it's not there, file a complaint with your superintendent.
They'll get one out to you within six-to-eight weeks.
Maybe.

Take one rule and do the complete opposite. That is the way to live an exciting life.
