Working in the garage yesterday and moved my "tackle box" full of SORTED nuts and bolts from a shelf to the top of my garbage cart while I cleaned off a half a bag of potting soil that a friggin' mouse had chewed into over the winter. Got the shelf all cleaned up, but bumped the garbage cart and...you can guess what fell off and scattered all over the garage floor.:angryfir:

What little stuff pisses you off? (besides people who refuse to merge out of the construction lane until the bitter end and cause traffic to come to a total halt? Quad City Mopar fans, you know what I am talking about.)

Yeah, and these idiots are usually making a left hand turn with traffic coming so now they have you and everyone else they just passed stacked up behind them as they jam the lane just sitting there.
 
When, in the grocery store, I only have 3 items and i head for the "express" lane, and just as I get there some mathematically challenged a-hole beats me to the line, with a cart with 20 or 25 items, when the sign clearly states "12 items or less". I've already asked someone if math was a problem for them in school, only to have them look at me quizzically, and I state that they can't count to 12 properly. Nearly got into a fight or 2 cause of my mouth.

I've done that at Walmart. Have folks coming in the exit while I'm trying to leave and look at me like I'm in the way, I'll look up and say really loud: "EXIT! what's that mean?" Then usually say something along the lines of being illiterate. I've had a couple of folks try to call me out on it to try to save face. They usually walkaway looking even more like idiots when I stand there and define what "exit" means, how they obviously can't read or understand the definition and how inconsiderate they are.
 
How about when you are driving down a residential street when you are going to met another car coming from the opposite direction and they have a parked car on their side. They expect you to take it to the curb so they can get by.
Plus we are getting a lot of hispanic drivers (mostly female) that think they don't have to watch out and be courteous to other drivers because they own the whole road.

That reminds me of an old cartoon. Frank & Earnest I think. As they are behind said person they ask "are you an english major that can't count, or a math major that can't read"...

I generally don't let the actions of other people get to me, whether it be on the road or otherwise. People around here are assholes, and I'd be pretty upset if I didn't let those things roll off my back.

I can't think of any little things that piss me off at the moment. I know there are some, I guess I'm in a good mood today (just quit drinking coffee, and I feel awesome).
 
Oh, just thought of something: All I have to do is turn on the radio, and I'll get ticked pretty quickly. There is not much music that I can tollerate, let alone enjoy.
 
When the wife moves the bed room furniture and I wake up about 4am just to walk into a wall :banghead:eek:n my way to the bathroom :angry7: or even worse stubing a toe on the way there :-D

That would be REALLY embarrasing if you ran in to a wall and broke your nose. :toothy10:
 
I hate setting something down and not remembering where you set it. I will end up swearing up a storm and throwing crap everywhere till I find it.

back around Christmas I walked straight into a wall and backed up and stuck my hands out to figure out where I was and the closet door was open :angry7: My thumb stayed swollen for two days :angry7: I bet I put a small night light in when she moves the bed next time :-D

LOL... been there, done that too!
 
Yeah, I've done the "knock over can of bolts/nuts/washers/screws/nails" bit about a gazillion times myself. Probably do it again by the end of the day, knowing me. Also the "I just set that wrench down right here!" routine. I don't wear glasses, but I wear safety glasses, and I've lost them on top of my head more than once, too.

Another sure bet, if I'm working on a project where the bench and the worksite are seperated by any distance, is the "Take measurement. Carry tape to bench, measure & cut material. Absentmindedly leave tape on bench, walk back to worksite. I need the tape, where the hell is it? Oh yeah *slap forehead*" gag. Substitute pencil, saw, drill, hammer, socket wrench, or any other common tool you can think of. Maybe my dad was right- maybe I am a dumbass.

What I hate when going into a store that has a double doors, is when someone going in the opposite direction waits for you to either hold the door open for them as they push their way by or walk after you get in. What the he!! is wrong with pushing open the other door. Are they that lazy they can't open the other door? That's what it's there for!!!
 
People who just let their kids scream and cry in public. Take that noisy little S**T box out to your car until it shuts up because there are other people out there that don't want to hear your kid crying clear across the store/restaurant.

They should pass a law that lets you leave your kid alone in the car if you have the E brake on, windows cracked, doors locked and if you are in the store for under an hour. If the little S**T is strapped into its seat then it can't do anything to hurt it self and if it is screaming it's head off no one will want to steal it.
 
When the mailman leaves my gate open. It's rude and shows disrespect. I always wondered which one did it until today, I finally caught her. I know who she is now....

It may sound stupid but I swear it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
 
People that drive 40 ta 50 miles an hour on a 30 mph zone around peoples homes
I am fast at the draw and call the parents and tell them I WILL call it in...... they have no respect for there own neighbors or there car..... Yep anyone @#$%!!!
