THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF:
-
People who drive thirty miles an hour in the fifty-five zone.
-
The fact that the line of traffic they're leading is so long, that it takes
up the whole passing zone, thus leaving me no opportunity to pass.
-
People who drive even slower when passing a farm or a dead skunk.
This is not a section of road I want to take my time getting out of.
-
People who stop at the red lights only to drift slowly into the middle
of the intersection, sometimes blocking traffic.
-
Then the light turns green and they don't move!
-
Computer viruses. I can't believe someone puts that much time and
effort into making time-consuming and expensive problems for a total stranger.
-
People who stand in the middle of a narrow hallway, look directly at you,
and still don't get out of the way. At least have the courtesy to
pretend you didn't see me!
-
Political correctness. Don't these people know they're only spreading
more hate?
-
Gramatical correctness. I know I split an infinitive! I know
I ended a sentence with a preposition! I've got better things to
closely pay attention to!
-
People who assume that I actually wanted to change my long-distance carrier,
but was waiting for them to make the first move and call me.
-
Vegitarians who eat meat, but call themselves vegitarians anyway so that
they can feel superior to me.
-
Health food. The rule of thumb is that anything that gives you the
runs must be good for you.
-
PeOpLe WhO tYpE lIkE tHiS fOr SoMe ReAsOn. PiCk A cAsE aLrEaDy!
-
People who slam on the brakes suddenly in front of me, then start making
a turn, then put their turn signal on.
-
People who do the opposite. They slow down to a crawl about a mile
before they reach the intersection.
-
People who swerve in front of my in the turning lane, usually doing a sort
of wobbling move to let me know they're going to turn. That's what
a turn signal is for!
-
Two-lane roads with slow-moving cars running side-by-side. Pass or
don't! Just get out of my way!
-
People who swerve partially into the passing lane, so I can't pass.
-
People who swerve partially off the road, so I think they're pulling over.
Then, as I come closer to pass, they pull back onto the road, so I have
to hit the brakes.
-
People who pass me (usually on the right) just as the lanes are merging.
Just where am I supposed to go?!
-
People who slam on the brakes for no apparent reason (usually during bad
weather).
-
Working weekends.
-
People who don't have the common courtesy to ask if I'm busy or if I've
got a minute. They just start talking and assume I'm interested in
what they're saying.
-
People who can't get their thoughts together before they talk to me.
"I have to tell you something... Oh, what was it again...?"
Walk away. Come back when you remember.
-
Oversleeping. (Hey, not everything that pisses me off is caused by
somebody else.)
-
Waiting in the drive-thru. Often, I'll see people park their cars,
walk inside the fast-food place, get their food, and leave while I'm still
waiting. I'm using the drive-thru because I want faster service!
-
The above being followed by a complete lack of preparedness. In other
words, "Can you pull into a parking space? We'll send someone out
with your food when it's ready." This is supposed to be fast
food!
-
Eventually receiving my food... just as my lunch break is over.
-
People who punch out of work, and then stand there staring at the time
clock, holding up the line. What are they waiting for it to do, a
dance?
-
Late payments. You can postpone paying me money owed to me and blame
it on a computer glitch. Can I do that with money I owe? I
don't think so.
-
Slow processing. Computers are the only thing in the world which
can stare at you for twenty minutes without responding and make you think
it's your fault.
-
Junk e-mail. I have to sit and wait to download a long message that
I have no intention of reading.
-
In general, people who have no respect for the value of my time.
The universe may have a lifespan of hundreds of billions of years, but
I only get to enjoy about eighty years of it -- a third of that time sleeping.
DON'T
WASTE WHAT LITTLE I GOT!!
-
The knowledge that as soon as I drop dead, these exact same people who
wasted my every waking moment will come to my funeral and assume that I
was the one who never realized the value of every moment. WOULD
I BE THIS PISSED OFF IF I HADN'T REALIZED THAT?!
