Throughout the course of a typical day, there is guaranteed to be at least one thing that occurs that will totally tick you off. Lord knows it happens to me at least once a day. Don’t you just hate that?

I hate when some totally stupid situation or event occurs that just gets me ticked off to no end. Considering the fact that I am a pressed for time, anal-retentive Type A personality by nature – I have no time to get ticked off by insignificant stupidity – so when these little annoyances do occur, I am already at my wits end from just trying to exist – so these little insignificances become the quintessential straw that breaks the camel’s back.

When these annoyances do occur, I try to not get ticked off – but that is impossible. It’s impossible not to get ticked off because when you are doing a grillion things at once – who has time to put up with these little annoyances? Not me. So when I encounter one of these displays of pure annoyancy – I can’t help but take a moment, since my struggle to get through the day has already been disrupted – and just vent about how teed off I am at life’s little annoyances.

So what are these insignificant things that so easily tick me off? Here is a list of just a few of them. I bet a few of these tick you off too:

• Getting to the bus stop and seeing your bus pull away.

• Ordering food and not getting what you ordered.

• Someone driving in front of you going two miles an hour.

• Cold coffee.

• Warm soda.

• Freezer burn – what is that anyway?

• Trying to do business with someone who doesn’t speak English.

• Someone who stops and stands still directly in the path you have to walk.

• Having a copy machine jam in the middle of a big job.

• Watching helplessly as your computer crashes.

• Trying to sleep on the train as someone speaks at a volume bullhorns can’t reach.

• Making a list of annoyances and not being able to remember anymore.

So what are we supposed to do when life throws us one of these insignificant annoyances? Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do. All we can do is get ticked off, move on – and wait for the next one.
