    No, this is not a South Park reference…

    As I sit here waiting for Microsoft Office to update, shuffling through Bumble, I got to thinking of all the things that annoy me. These days, that’s pretty much everything.

    for one, people who clearly have “a look.” Like why can’t people just put on clothes and go about their day? Why do you have to put on a costume? Why do you have to have everything black or dress like you’re a vampire? IM EVEN ANNOYED BY MY ANNOYANCE AT THESE THINGS!!

    Also, why can’t people use blinkers?

    why can’t the H‑E‑B personal shoppers park their carts somewhere where they’re not blocking every gd row?!

    why can’t my neighbor socialize his dogs so they don’t attack me through the fence everyday?

    I’d go on, but Office is updated so I guess I’ll work.

    *turns on Three Days Grace*

    I have thought about this also, they make shopping hard AF at times.

    Everday as I drive home and go to merge off the freeway and at the last second someone dives down and cuts in front of me making me slam on my brakes............like dude, wait in line like I have for the last mile

    People who make all these self-aggrandizing and virtue-signaling posts on social media (LinkedIn, Instagram) nonstop, especially in a professional context.

    This.

    May sound funny given my previous post of 'waiting', but there's a distinction. People who are in a hurry are generally terrible at time management and are always late. They're stressed, make mistakes and rush everything. Everyone has these people in their families and probably close relationships in their lives. It's frustrating.

    Goal-oriented people want to minimize or eliminate obstacles between themselves and their goals. The do, however, recognize things that can't be affected and if circumventing these obstacles takes more time than waiting, they wait because it's the most time-effective option. Here's an example. If my family and I are going to dinner, I am ready to go but I will do other things until they walk out the door. I know that it's a three-ring circus with my wife and kids getting ready (I'll help there where I can) but I don't stress it at all, because I can't really do anything about it.

    Items (think, say, a tub of hummus, a jug of wiper fluid) that are packaged with a plastic seal that does not have a pull-tab to open it cleanly and easily.

    If I'm holding a crying / screaming baby or toddler, and some woman* I don't know says "AWWWW, WHAT'S WRONG?!?!?!"

    I don't know why but I go from a 0 to a 10 in my anger.

    Shut the **** UP stupid stranger lady. The baby is upset because he's a ****ing baby and wants all the toys or candy or whatever. Also he can't talk so he just cries, because again - HE'S A ****ING BABY. And what do you even want me to do right now? You want me to stop and talk to you about this? Am I really supposed to answer this stupid ****ing question as he's screaming his ass off and squirming in my arms? Do you really think that's a good idea you ****ing idiot? Jesus. I hate that.

    *It's always a woman.
