The headliner in my car is falling and it is pissing me the fack off. The worst part is that I know this is a stupid reason (the car is relatively old) to be angry, but that only makes it worse....

What trivial things make you all wonder if you might actually have anger management issues?

Like when people don't use turn signals and then get pissed at you for not acknowledging that they want to turn.

I don't mind text messaging. At times, it can be very convenient, and be a quick way to finalize plans. I get extremely angry however, when a friend wants to maintain a text message conversation when a simple 1 minute call would work better. I will call them and the phone will ring through to voicemail. F'n lame, but it gets even worse when I receive a text message not a few seconds later. Wtf?

The guy across the street has a white van that is parked on the other side of the street. I think he uses it as a tool shed because I've seen him get shat out of it, but have seen it move less than 10 times in two years. So when we look out our front window, we see our yard and his ugly a$$ van.

I'm in the process of working w/ the city to have no parking signs put on that side of the street. My argument is that the street is too narrow to support parking on both sides of the street and still allow emergency vehicles through. Then bye, bye van.

when people feel the need to slow down to 6m.p.h. when they drive past a carcrash where there are already police there and the ambulence has left and the cars are out of the way on the highway. so youve sat in traffic for an hour and a half just to randomly speed up past an abandoned fenderbender.

Call the cops. In most cities, if they don't move it in 72 hours, the tickets start piling up.

I really enjoy it when people call me at work and ask me stupid questions all day long...

People... if you buy a home, please figure out the difference between a condo, P.U.D. and a single family unit home. And if you pay $650,000 for a home, please take the time to read 60 pages of governing documents.

Oh, I forgot another one. When making a right turn in my vehicle, I make it a point to slow down in the shoulder before the turn. Hence, the broken white line. This way, I do not slow down to 15 (or whatever) miles per hour IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE!

Try people who shout at us bikers for no reason when they pass, or honk right behind you. Practically pee my pants, crash, and die everytime it happens. (haven't had any of them happen yet luckily). I did cleat one of the cars though. Sweet sweet revenge via a shoe...

When I have been recognized for my writing ability my entire life, and my boss (relatively new...) doesn't ask me to write.
But then again, it gives me time to goof off on RM. :rofl:

Smokers throwing butts out the window.

People cell shouting on public transportation.

Mindless/needless lane changes. Today a lady is driving in the left lane switches to the right lane to sit at a stop light then after the stop light switches back to the left lane. WTF?

The guy across the street from me breaking the street light.

Yesterday, I got a $75 Federal parking ticket for "parking in and obstructing a traffic lane." I was parked on the side of the road out of the traffic lane, there was plenty of room to pass, and it isn't even marked as a no parking zone. Furthermore, I've been parking in the same place for 2 years now and have never had an incident. WTF.

That pisses me off to no end.
