Things that make you angry

people who park next to you when you park your new car at the back of the lot so idiots don’t bang your door. They usually are parked over the line too.

Yes!!

I parked way out yesterday at the grocery store, someone parks right next to me and close, I couldn't believe it.

I wanted to flat foot kick their driver side door, but there wasn't room in between my car and theirs. 😬

I was so ticked I almost took out my pocket knife and flatted their tire.

I borrowed my dad's car to take out for an afternoon joy ride awhile back. It's a Porsche Carrera 4S convertible. On the way home I remembered I needed to pick up some hardware to mount a picture in my daughters room. Stopped in Lowes and parked way out, literally not a single car within 20 spaces of me in any direction. I came out and there were trucks parked on either side of me pretty close. Now I could possibly understand if I double parked or did some other A-hole thing in the lot but I didn't. I stayed around for a few minutes to talk to them but then thought better of it as I was just a speed bump to the big truck on 37's.
 
The thing that makes me angry?

People that can't control and release their anger, lol

I deal with folks everyday. Some great, some not so great, some just dumb. But I just smile and work my way thru it. No matter how dumb or stupid I think they are.

Because somewhere, sometime, I am that person. I am 100% sure that I have been somewhere and just knew I was right, when in truth I was so far from right I should be shot! And I know who every was dealing with had to go home to the spouse or on the internet and vent.

So when I get mad, I go home and split some wood, shoot a few rounds, take a deep breath, pour a bourbon, and think "Some where, sometime, someone had to do the same thing because of me"

"Don't sweat the petty things, pet the sweaty things"

Not so much angry, but annoyed.

"Can I ask you a question?" Obviously you can, but because you just did. My usual response is to say of course, but you only get 1 per day and that was it.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure, everyone is entitled to ask me one question a day.

Thanks! What I want to know is...

I'm sorry, you've used up your daily allotment for the day. You can schedule an appointment for tomorrow, though.

Did you deliberately take up two or more parking spaces?

Because if you did, that was probably my car.

Because people who take up more than one parking space is another pet peeve of mine.

No, I'm not the double space guy.

I like parking away from everyone when I can.

The tourist season has come back with a vengence. All the usual road hijinks are getting amplified. I have so many to list just from today on the road....

I'll list them at some point... But for now. The "stay under 55" race is most annoying.
Your danged vehicle will go over 54mph!

You decide to pass another car that can't maintain a speed just like yourself? Good for you! Burn the soot out! Take her to 60 you rule breaker and blow their doors off so you can get out of the passing lane.

Don't play the "I can't break the law game like the moron you decide to pass". Neither of you will win in the mountains. Grow a pair and "break the law" for 5 seconds. You'll just be holding up 50 freaking vehicles for miles until you do.

Or make the decision your aren't a self absorbed moron and drop her down to 50 and stay behind that other person who wan't break the speed limit👍

Heh, no I haven't even gotten into the fun of the 2 lanes of my life. This particular usual annoyance was on 74 to Cherokee to eat lunch with my wife... 4 lane all the way🙃

Its funny. I haven't run by your rig since I realized who you were. Such is life😁.

But as a past specific example of how fun 107 can be. I have caught/been stuck behind a flippin, Corvette! A newer or new model, going UP the mountain in a 10yd concrete truck😳

I was in Cashiers Monday, Caney Fork and Robbinsville on Tues/Wed, Cherokee Thursday after the 470 breakdown and Bear Lake Friday. I do way more than my fair share on 107

Soooo...

What are you trying to say?
 
Aaaaaand in tonight's episode of "things my wife does that p*sses me off"...

We go out to Olive Garden with our son (22 years old) to eat.

Son is wearing his Dukes of Hazard ball cap.

Wife gets on him to take it off.

He's playing the trivia game and ignoring her.

Wife doesn't know when to quit, keeps escalating this into a confrontational event, and tries drawing me into this and I'm not about to. So she ends up working herself into a tizzy over this.

BACKGROUND:

First of all, I'm a hats-off-indoors kinda guy. But what's happening here is the result of her history of being overbearing, not knowing how to deal with the kids, making things into a confrontation, and then turning things into a "go fix your son/daughter" thing. With every bit of it in front of all the kids. She has never understood, and actively ignored, the parental concept of discussing parental things between parents and not in front of the kids and applies the same lack of understanding to (and active ignoring of) the concept of correcting poor behavior in appropriate settings. It MUST end up confrontational.

On this particular subject, we just had this EXACT discussion not long ago where she was p*ssed at me for not backing her up on the hat issue.

I told her our son isn't 10 years old any more, he's 22. And while wearing a hat indoors is not the polite behavior we would expect, or what we raised him to, he's an adult now and that's his business. The LAST thing she or I need to do is keep on his *ss for every little thing we may not like and treating him like a child about it.

Let. It. Go.

The fact that she still rags on him (and our other children) over every little thing like they're little kids all the time is EXACTLY why she gets the responses she does.

Let them adult. Keep your mouth shut over stupid things. Quit trying to control their lives.

And quit trying to drag me into these things in public like I'm going to automatically back you up over matters you and I need to talk about in private, and then working yourself into tears over it. That unnecessarily puts me between a rock and a hard place with all the family members I love.

When a person is trying to sell others on how great of a deal they are getting (hooking members up) blah blah blah...
and you Know you can get it for less elsewhere... Greasy Capitalism makes me Angry....
 
Any company that has a “club” to join and has stupid rules. This week’s example:

Moe’s
They have a policy where you can only use one reward at a time, which somewhat makes sense. But I have a free burrito in my account. They have Moe Mondays where the burritos & chips are a couple bucks off.

Was out driving around last Monday and thought a burrito would hit the spot, and remembered my freebie. In the app, you can choose from Burritos or from Moe Mondays (for the cheaper price). But even if you choose from the Burrito section, it gives the cheaper price at checkout.

And Moe Mondays are considered a “reward” in some way. So they wouldn’t let me order a free burrito when they were $5.99…but I could come back the next day and get one for free when they’re $7.99. 😡😡😡

Yuck.

If a business or service makes me jump through hoops to give them my money, I’m just not going to.

What did you end up getting to eat?
 
I realize a majority of us are joking and just looking for a laugh. I'm guilty of that.

There are so few things or people that get me angry enough to actually want to throw a fist in anger.

If my wife wasn't nursing a fractured jaw right now, she would vouch for that.

I get angry when my wife comes to a certain intersection in town and ALWAYS stops like it's a 4 way stop. But BUT it's not a 4 way stop and she doesn't have a stop sign.

My next thing would be when she has hollered because I point directions to her to go places when she is talking on the phone. Then when I stop she misses a turn and wants to yell again?!?!? Like WTH
