Tiny Moments of Stupidity and Woe

Quote:

What kind of tiny, insignificant setbacks irritate you most? How commonly do some of these things pop up in your life?

- Getting a wrong order. I don't eat out much and I especially avoid fast food places. The quality of food at most fast food joints sucks, but the startling rate at which they get my order wrong is another reason I avoid fast food. When I say no bacon/sausage/ham, it's for a reason (I don't eat pork). I usually check before I drive off, but sometimes it slips my mind and then I get the pleasant surprise of finding out way down the road that my Egg and Cheese Biscuit has sausage on it and that I don't get to eat breakfast. This happens a lot.

- On that same note, menus at restaurants that do not tell you everything that is in the dish annoy me. When I order green beans as a side order, I don't expect there to be bacon all over them. This doesn't happen too much anymore because I know now to ask what is in everything.

- Nothing will put me on the verge of an apoplectic fit like trying to find a spot in a parking lot and getting stuck behind those people who insist on walking in the middle of the road. You would think this would most often be old people, completely oblivious to the world around them as they push themselves along on their walkers, but no, plenty of younger people do this too in my experience. This happens every time I go to a store that isn't the grocery.

- Getting behind someone who has to go 10 mph under the speed limit. Usually this is an older individual who, when turning a corner, also takes the curb. This happens probably once a week.

- People who tailgate me irritate me. I usually do five over the speed limit when the speed limit is under 50. I'm young and my insurance is high enough. I don't need speeding tickets to make it any higher. Riding my ass will not make me go any faster, either. In fact, getting on my bumper will just turn our trip down the small road we're likely on into a giant setback for the both of us because I'm going to slow down to the speed limit just because they tried to intimidate me. Them waving their hands and cussing at me will just make me feel like I've accomplished something for the day. If people are in such a hurry they should pass me. This happens a lot because people are always in a hurry.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
