Shopping 1

I went to buy small earphones. I wanted to use them right away. As soon as I got out of the store, I embarked in the process of opening the packing. Impossible! Where did the "easy opening" concept go? Those things are plastic fortresses. I tried to apply logic to the task, to no avail. I used my short nails, my teeth, with no success. You really need sharp knives, or strong scissors to open the darn box. And when you do, beware of the plastic edges of the recently cut parts. All that effort for an overpriced, made in china, almost disposable set of earphones....

At home 2

I hate it when I pick-up a marmalade jar by the cap, to find out (too late) that the cap hasn't been tighten all the way. The jar falls on the floor. Crashhhh! Now, clean it!

At home 1 (when you have company)

You get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Lights off, so that you don't wake up completely. When you seat in the toilet, you feel that you're going to fall! Damned! The toilet seat is up and you touch the cold toilet ream with your warm tush. Blood rushes to your head. Damned, again! Now try to fall asleep again

On the road 2

Every time I go to have my car washed (it doesn't happen too often), I look forward to getting in a spotless, clean smelling car. However, my seat has been moved back, it's lower, and the inclination of the back makes me feel like I'm laying on the floor; the A/C is set to COOLEST and even my radio blasts the loudest rap. Darn! Not again!

On the road 1

You're late, wanting to get somewhere on time. The person driving the car in front of you has one of the blinkers on indicating they want to turn. After half a mile you realize that they don't even know it's blinking. Hey! Are you stupid? Here's the finger! VZOOOOOM...

Please don't....

Yeah, right. I know. I'm a calm and patient guy.

But sometimes I can also be pissed. Work, rain, traffic, hunger, not wanting to go there, or to be there, and such, make me mad. And then, little things that normally wouldn't ruffle my feathers confabulate against me teaming up, ballooning into gigantic proportions blocking my view and my reasoning.

Not again!.., Why me?...Please don't, don't, don't!...

A thousand little annoying things of no importance can add up to make our life miserable.

Here are some that I find truly irritating. I invite you to add your own.
