Small things in life that gravel your ass

[Bwana]

What are some things in life that are really not that big of a deal in the big picture, but just piss you off?

My example of the day:

The dogs were barking at something today out in the alley, so I went outside to find out what the hell was going on. Some Slippery Larry contractor was back there unloading a bunch of shit into my city garbage container.

Me: Hey there strokestick, are you my new neighbor or something?

Slippery Larry: No

Me: Yeah, I knew that, then why are you dumping your crap out into my garbage container? I have plans to clean out the garage and am going to need the space.

Slippery Larry: I don't know.

Me: Do you live in a house, do YOU have a garbage container?

Slippery Larry: Yes, but it's full, so I'm dumping it in here.

Me: No, no you're not, try the city dump. Don't let me ever catch you back here pulling the bullshit again, or we are going to have a big problem.

At that point, he high tailed it out of there.

Like I said, it wasn't like the guy was back there trying to break into my shop, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

People with full carts deciding to use the self-check lane. I know it is not marked that way but that should be the equivalent of an express lane!

On the whole lane ending thing with people not merging along with everyone else my reaction is always the same: "Hey jackass, we all learned in grade school, no cuts allowed!!!"

Me too. Evidence Cam Newton's "effort" stopping that INT from being run back. The players couldn't care less.

But if they mic up Ray Lewis maybe people will think they care (not working, Goodell)

I was behind some gal about a month ago that searched all her pants pockets, her jacket and her purse, before dumping the entire contents of her purse on the counter, to try to roust up that 7 cents. She never did find it and ended up stepping up with the extra dime.

I was once a couple minutes into the little old lady going through this routine when I ponied up the dime (think she needed 6 cents). She was gracious about it, as I said something very polite to help more things along, which was good since I half expected her to be insulted. My wife gives me this look and I was like "life is too short to waste spending extra time standing in line to pay for freaking groceries" (or whatever it was we were buying).

1. anything that suggests that YOU and your time are more important than someone else and their time. This relates to a million things all day every day. People being late to an appointment meeting, or people cutting you off in line, or whatever.

2. someone that cuts me off just to go slower. This sometimes happens while driving, but usually it's my kids. They get my foot in their behinds for it though. Drives me nuts. DON'T SPECIFICALLY MOVE IN FRONT OF ME JUST TO WALK SLOWER THAN ME, WTF?!?

3. being rude without reason. The shopping cart in the parking space is a classic example. Just rude/ignorant behavior.

4. being petty.

5. people that overcomplicate/overthink things that really, really just aren't that complicated or difficult.

6. failure to learn from one's mistakes. Repeating your own mistakes, to me, is the definition of stupid. Being smart, to me, is in large part learning to not only not repeat your own mistakes, but not repeat the mistakes of others that you see/hear about.

I'm sure there's others, but those are the ones that come to mind.

I work in a downtown area with lots of pedestrians and lots of cars, and the sidewalks aren't as wide as they should be since the city lets restaurants put their tables out on them.

Sometimes you'll be walking along and have to weave/squeeze by a slow walker. Then you get to the end of the block and are waiting on cars, and Mr./Ms. Slow Walker will amble up behind everyone, then push between people until they're standing in the front of the pack, which means that you have to weave/squeeze by them again on the next block, and the next.

There are a dozen people standing there waiting for the light to change, and you're the 2 mph person coming up behind them. First, do you recognize that they all passed you 20 seconds ago? And second, why do you think they're standing on that corner? Why do you have to push your way to the front? Is it possible that perhaps they're all waiting for the light to change just like you are?
