People running hazards during heavy rain or snow.

People who get in the right lane on 2 lane roads at a light preventing all others from making a right on red.

Thought of another one this morning...

People who can't properly open a box of cereal. This includes ripping the plastic bag inside the box halfway to the bottom, causing cereal to spill inside the box. Or people who can't open the cardboard without fucking up the the little tab, preventing anyone else from closing the box when they're done. This shit drives me nuts. It's such a simple task. Do I just have OCD or does this make anyone else lose their shit?

Nope, just gets under your skin, pisses you off when it's a trivial issue when it can be dumped into a container and no box, bag and mess lol.... Sometimes you just gotta let shit go buddy lol....
J, the point of this thread is not to come up with solutions... It's to point out pet peeves.... I realize a plastic container would help. So would taking an extra two seconds to open a box without wrecking it. Lol

Especially when it's a grown ass woman that does it. She opened one a few months ago upside down. For the love of Christmas! Seriously?

I envy people like you...it's the little things that really piss me off. I realize how stupid and insignificant they are, but that just pisses me off more and I get pissed at myself. The circle never seems to end...

Buddy, you pretty much hit the nail on the head lol....

Actually when I was younger things would make me upset and I'd get stirred up about it then somewhere in my late 30's early 40's I decided that it's on me to either get pissed and rant and rave or just let it go and stop acting like an ass lol...

So evolved a calmer "J" lmao

Started looking at people closer and observing the spin up of the emotions and the faces getting red and thought that's just ridiculous too get hat worked up over something that in the scheme of things ain't diddly squat lol.... I still have my moments don't get me wrong but it usually takes a lot more too spin me up.....

I think it's more of an age thing for most.... Not saying all older folks come too this realization because we still see "mature" folks going off the deep end for what are a lot of folks trivial things....

I get what Jim and others are saying about the cereal boxes as I have teenagers who have totally destroyed boxes in the process of opening a new one. It just takes patience and a few extra seconds of taking your time to do it right. I must say though it's the cereal companies going to cheaper less durable cardboard and thinner cheaper inner bag that's mostly to blame. They don't even glue it to the bottom of the box anymore. Cheaper for them but more of a hassle for us.

The 1st piece of TP being glued down pisses me off. I end up destroying 1/3 of the roll just trying to get it undone, then it only comes partially apart, and just keep tearing. Who's bright idea was that?

Fast food workers that interrupt you.

When I walk up to the counter I typically say this " number two large size with a fountain drink to go"

I I manage to get the words number two out of my mouth before they interrupt me and asked for here to go. Bitch if you would shut up for two seconds and let me get nine words out of my mouth I would have told you. Or if by chance I forget to tell you wait until I'm finished and then ask.

Now I understand that you may have buttons to push in the very first one may likely be for here or to go. But you should be more than capable of remembering three key items Number 2, large, to go and then entering them no matter the order.

And if you are a complete imbecile incapable of even the smallest memory task, and it is imperative that you hit for here or to go first. Then include that as part of your initial greeting. Instead of saying I can take your order and then waiting until I begin placing said order to interrupt me, make it one complete statement "I can take your order for here or to go."

Nothing pisses me off more when I try to get that statement out of my mouth and get interrupted two or three times

I can take your order.
Yes. I would like a number
For here or to go.
To go
A number two l
What size
Large
What to drink.

Takes all I have not to go off and say "if you would shut the fuck up for a minute I would tell you"
