Defense Mechanism

We were irritated (and perhaps angry) at the fact that we could no longer park the car inside despite the fact that we live there. Well, who could blame us when we're just tennants and the landlord is away overseas and can't get the new sticker for us?

Despite the annoyance felt, we reasoned out that maybe the guards were just following orders (but if they were just more polite and nicer and more tactful in not letting us in, we wouldn't be just as angry towards them and the management as a whole).

So we found another place to park.

And despite the longer distance that we have to walk, I'm glad that we could still be laughing about it. Surrounded by the chilly night, we walked (and felt ridiculously funny with a big bag pack on my and Hannan's backs) towards the town villa with giggles and new resolutions.

I'm glad we chose "reaction formation" as our defense mechanism (Yeah people, I looked through Behavioural Sciences notes for this)
