This has been a massive problem and something I've wanted to rant on for a while.
It started with our dog. We have drunk redneck starfishs down the street who hinted that they would shoot our dog if she got into a fight with their dogs or wandered onto their property again. They often have their own dogs out, who love to bark and growl. If it wasn't for a leash, she would run over and get in a fight, and likely be shot, or at the very least taken away by animal control. So because of this, we tell him to always use a leash.
Except he doesn't, solely because we told him to. He's endangering our dog because he's too lazy to grab the leash. And that's not the only thing.
I let him drive the car today, and I learned he never uses the turn signal. I asked him about it, and he stopped in the middle of the road and glared at me, saying "I already get enough of that from mom, want me to drop you off here?" (We live up in the mountains, and the car isn't even his, but it didn't stop him from saying that).
Lack of turn signals lead to many crashes, even when you think you don't need it. He's making sharp turns and cars don't know when or where he's going to do it. He's already hit the side of a truck, giving our third car a nice dent in the door.
Right now, I'm trying to work out a compromise for use of the third car. His goal so far has been to make sure I don't use it as much as possible, the only reason being I had to use it for my job recently, and now that he has a volunteer job, he doesn't want to do the same kind of compromise I had to do.
I don't even know what to do. He's so dense and self absorbed. He puts more effort into avoiding chores and taking care of the pets than actually doing it. Anything that interrupts his videogames makes him angry and impatient. It's miserable for me.
What do I do? Has anyone else been in this situation before?
