*having to wade through menus on the phone to find the right person to assist you and when you finally do, you get cut off and have to go through the entire process once again
*drivers who stay in the passing lane driving slowly, and when there is an opportunity to pass them, they then speed up.
*
ignorance which masquerades as intelligence
*Folks who when asked, 'how are you', report a litany of ailments and diseases and medical anomalies in horrific detail until your eyes roll back in your head and you want to throw up.
*Meeting someone for the first time and they feel compelled to list in stunning detail, all of their many accomplishments, (which only serves to make me recognize a 'weenie' when I see one)
*standing in the express line at the market with my one item, while the person in front of me is buying for her neighborhood in 15 item incremental blocks amounting to an average of 80 items.
*getting to the end of mascara/lipstick/eye shadow, any makeup item which is in a stick or wand, and while it appears to be out, you know there is a lot more in the tube, but you cannot access it with the stick or wand.
*People who are sick and still go to work or school, infecting the rest of us.
*Anyone who needs to be a snob or act in any way which makes them appear and feel "better" then another, which immediately shows their immense inferiority and ignorance. (refer back to ignorance masquerading as intelligence)
*Big boastful egos which cannot help but stuff their big feet directly into their big mouths at the tiniest provocation.
*Sitting in a restaurant waiting for quite awhile while the waitstaff repeatedly walk by ignoring you. Having worked in restaurants in college, this is a big NO NO, a simple acknowledgement such as "someone will be right with you" works wonders.
*New monthly bank charges for "viewing your account on line---$3.00; receiving a paper statement---$1.50; having your balance go below $200----$1.50,.......seriously???? Watch my back as I take my money and go to the new Credit Union in town!
*Entitled teenagers, young adults and even some older folks. The world owes you nothing people, go find out how the real world works.
*Women (mostly) who have never had any children, expertly and arrogantly telling me how to raise my child, and judging me for doing it wrong.
*Catching a glimpse of myself in a store window or mirror unexpectedly and seeing a 62 year old instead of the 25 year old I think I am.
*Being old enough to receive a senior discount. UGH!
*Along those same lines, having my
MOTHER tell me,
"I can't believe how old you are!"
*My best friend, who
can't make a good choice with men, asking me what I think of this new guy and please tell her the truth........50 years later and I tell her this one is a jerk too and she still goes down the same road. Some things never change.
*Telling my mother the horrible recent events of my difficult child's drama and (remember my family is full of mental illness) my mother bypasses my story and tells me a long story about her late husbands big toe and how it got infected while he was in the army in WW2..............it's a wonder I am not in a mental institution myself.
*Eating practically nothing and gaining 5 pounds.
*People's inhumanity to others, lack of compassion, empathy and kindness. Except here on this board.
