Default Things that really piss you off...

Im just a bit curious as to what is something that just sets you guys off. I mean something that happens and you go from a descent mood to pissed off no time at all. Ill start:

This has happened to me several times in the past and each time it does, I find myself just about to explode. I was driving today to go help a friend move into a new place when the car in front of me decides to make a left turn into a gas station...cool, no problem. Then the lady just stops in the lane, doesnt move into the TURNING LANE (which is clearly marked as such) and precedes to wait while a line of cars roll by. All the while, traffic is backing up and people are blowing their horns from behind me. At this point, Im just a step away from bumper-pushing her into the damn lane and going on my way. She finally turns, completely oblivious to the commotion she caused due to her stupidity.

I know, I know....this might seem petty or what not but its just one of the things (the most recent to occur as well) on my list of stuff that just causes me to come unglued.

What does it for you guys?

Inconsiderate smokers push my buttons. You want cancer, thats your business but get that $hit away from me, especially when im eating.And speaking of killing yourself, i get really pissed off when i see on the news people who decided they wanted to kill themselves but feel the need to go to a public place and kill a bunch of innocent people first. You don't value life, then thats your problem, dont go robbing people of theirs.

Drama queens. Cannot stand women (and sometimes guys) want to act out their favorite scene of the oc or some $hit so they create a bunch of drama. Throw a drink in someones face, start yelling or crying for no reason blah blah blah.

People on power trips-aceholes. Boss', teachers, regular people. Anyone whos in a position of power who goes out of their way to be an @sshole and bust your balls about something. No one in this world is better then the other.

Celebreties. Like come back to reality, some of them walk around like their gods. How bout instead of buying 10 million dollar cars you get a decent car and give some money to people who actually need it, I mean c`mon. Theres people eating out of dumpsters right down the street. I truly feel sorry for someone like paris hilton. She`s been told her whole life that shes so great that at some point she started to beleive it.

Poaching. Their f`n defenseless animals man. I know i sound like some sort of hippy, but c`mon. Theres nothing wrong with hunting animals who are in overpopulation, go nuts. But having lived in canada my whole life and having seen baby seals get clubbed to death for their furs, i`ve been truly disgusted by men are capable of. And thats just one example.

Anyways, thats what really grinds my gears.

When people slow down or stop at the green light, but speed up at the red light. Or when they make a turn, they freakin take forever to make the turn.

But what really pisses me off??

People who don't signal. And people who drive too fast.

Mine is all traffic related. Nothing much else pisses me off other than the way people drive. If everyone just drove like me, there'd be no need for car insurance in the world.

That's not being arrogant. That's just a fact!

I really hate it when I'm walking around a mall or something and people cut me off and just walk right in front of me.

People telling me what to do. People who think that they're so important because they're in a big group of similarly shallow crappy people. Ignorants that insult England.

Something else that just happened at lunch....people being inconsiderate with their cell-phones in a restaurant. Im there to eat and enjoy myself, not listen to half of a family argument on the phone in the next booth over. And, even worse, is when you hear one of those loud "CHIRP" sounds from the walkie-talkie phones and then the person precedes to pick it up, hold it at arms length and shout at it. Then to top it off, someone on the other end shouts back in a voice that sounds like its coming out of a fast-food drivethru speaker. These people piss me off to no end. I wish I could do this to them and ask them if they can hear me now.....

Dagnabbit Rush, this is exactly what I was gonna whine about.

It's infuriating. Especially the little grannies that stop to check their purse or something right at an exit. You would think they'd be a bit more careful with their bones...
There I am walking swiftly to my destination somewhere and she dares to slow me down... and if I wasn't paying attention the old lady would get floored.

I'm always boiling inside and thinking "do that one more time and I'll break your hip, granny ", but I'm smiling and being courteous on the outside.
Then I go home and punch the cat*.



*added for dramatic effect. I do not own a cat, and if I did, I wouldn't hurt said cat on purpose.

Driving up to a tollbooth, there are about a gazillion signs all over the place saying that you are approaching the toll booths and which lanes are the speedpass lanes and which are for coinage and money. It never fails that I head into a lane, preparing to slowroll past the bucket as I toss in my .75 cents.....only to have to come to a complete halt as some lady is stopped at the booth, car in park, purse in her lap and she is digging though it looking for nickles and dimes. At this point I have a vein bulging out of my forehead and Im ready to come unglued. I mean, for Christ's sake, cant you have your freaking money ready for when you get to the booth? Is that really too hard to ask or expect of anyone? Its the same thing when you get in a line at the grocery store only to have to wait on the person ahead of you dig in her purse for coupons or take ten minutes to fill out the check that she so thoughtfully left blank untill the very last moment before paying. Just drives me freaking insane.

Working customer service and having to help people while they talk on their cell phones. I find it incredibly rude and really grinds my gears.

I could rant for days, but I wont, so here's a few things that do my head in....

- Bad drivers, basically 90% of people on the roads

- People over the age of 5 who eat noisily

- The fact that when I promoted club nights we risked huge fines for flyering to people we were aiming our night at outside other clubs, yet double glazing/insurance/property companies can stick endless junk through my front door every day and get away with it.

- Having to use this cr*ppy Mac at work

- Dumb clients phoning me about any computer related problem they have. "Im very sorry your printer has run out of yellow ink, but we only designed your website Im afraid, you'll need to speak to your IT guy"
