1.) A feeling of dread or hopelessness that your current situation in the blue collar world is going no where fast. Coped with by sarcasm and self comedy to throw a positive spin on your situation. That feeling you get on Sunday morning knowing you have to go somewhere you don’t want to the next day.
2.) Followed quickly by a rush of Angst that pushes you to want more in life and find your purpose.
3.) A moment of complete and total clarity on what that path looks like.
4.) The feeling that fuels real change in someone’s life, and pushes them forward to learn more and be better.
5.) A badass Podcast where people from all over the Blue Collar world can share their experiences, to help somebody somewhere direct all that Blue Collar Angst into fuel and direction to get where they want to be.
6.) A name that started as an idea for a band name between two friends at work filled with Blue Collar Angst who played NOFX albums on repeat to get through the long days.
Did you listen to this weeks episode of Blue Collar Angst?! There’s so much I didn’t know about that trade, might be a good fit for me!?
When your Uber driver spends the length of the trip bitching ad nauseum about crappy disrespectful passengers, bullshit city policies that make their lives hell, Uber driver contracts that bring them lower pay and no workers rights all the while driving like a maniac to your destination while you strap in, hold on and pray.
That last trip to the airport brought on the worst case of Uber angst I've ever had.
The emotion experienced at the tipping point between not shaving and growing a beard. This angst is most commonly bought on by the dread of knowing that the time spent maintaining said beard will eventually exceed the time commonly spent shaving. Beard-angst is often exacerbated by 'Beard Envy'.
"Man I can feel the Beard-angst coming on"!
"Mate, stop being a Beardo".
That moment of dread and queasiness right before you log into your work email. (For severe cases, particularly on Mondays at 9:00 am, Uber Posten Angst.)
Sam, passing by Deb's desk: "What's wrong, Deb? You look kind of dazed and bummed out."
Deb, staring at computer screen and sighing: "Posten Angst. You know."
Sam: "Egh. Do I ever."
The act of posting an angsty status or picture to Facebook complaining about the impending Monday. If you're lucky, you'll scroll past about five to ten of these.
Aw man, Sunday already? This seems like I can get away with a few likes by posting a Sunday Night Angst status.
The belief that all love is defined by tragedy.
I cant decide which movie has more Rom-angst, Twilight or Romeo and Juliet
