What are small things that make you boil deep down inside.

[mkhl]

I hate when a person complains about everything and never does anything about it. I don't understand why they feel obliged to complain about everything specially with matters that do not affect them at all. I also can't stand it when a person can not decide on anything, even as trivial as where to eat.

These are things I try VERY hard to not let affect my day for long periods of time, but little things like not being thanked when I hold a door open for someone get me. So does not giving a little "thank you" wave when I let another car into the lane in front of me, or stop my car to let a pedestrian walk across the street. I assume it has to do with my ego and the assumption that the other person in play thinks they are better than I am. I try to remind myself that I have no idea who they are or what they are thinking, and sometimes that helps.

It really bugs me to no end when people constantly want to talk over the same topic again and again and again, especially when you have already exhausted every possible way to have the discussion. I try my best to not let it get to me too much, but sometimes i find myself acting short with the people, even if they're my closest friends, because there's only so many ways i can deal with hearing the same things every single day

It bugs me when people will continue to talk about their problems, their thoughts, and all of things they're interested in but never ask or let you talk. I hate having to try to force my way into a conversation just to be heard. But what is really infuriating is when you start a conversation and then the other person starts talking over you and hijacks the conversation. Then some time later 'realizes it' and half-heartedly apologizes for changing the subject while you were talking. Then tells you to continue. When I refuse to continue since it will end up being more the same. They get mad saying that they apologized and that how I'm acting now is the problem. Then they try to make you guilty for not completing the conversation. It gets me boiling because getting mad at them never helps.

Well the more I age the more it tends to be the little things, but I am pretty sure that this is case with most people. Things like wasting food and wasting water will always drive me crazy, and I did just comment on a post about loud people, and that is up there. I think that being lied to has to be my number one. When I know someone is lying, and the know I know, and they still lie, that can really take me close to the edge. The good news is, though, I am pretty good at being able to calm myself down and approach with reason. Thanks for sharing.

I hate it when I'm walking down a sidewalk or in a store and the person in front of me is moving really really slow and I can't get around them. It's even worse when it's a group of people and they're all spread out and talking so loudly that they don't even notice you. If that person has impaired mobility it's one thing, but the people looking at their phones and weaving so that you can't walk around them is a whole other thing. On the note about phones, let's add to that people who have casual conversations in bathrooms on their phone. That's just awkward and gross. I haven't yelled at or called out anyone on this yet, but sometimes I am so tempted to.

I remember being in a group on Facebook. This is a group for English teachers. Every so often, someone will start griping about the salary being offered and the work burden. This kind of thing tends to annoy me. For starters, it's a free world. Nobody has forced anyone to take up teaching English as a second language in a foreign country. It's something which is made as a free choice. There's nothing forced about it. Everybody gets into the game with their eyes open. Yet, when they are in, they start complaining. Too often, we have to tell them to go home if they didn't like it.

I get annoyed by small things easily and I have learned to look away, but sometimes my blood still boils. I get irritated when I have a long queue and people don't have their money ready to pay as if it's a surprise they have to pay in a shop, people who repeat themselves, people who whine annoy me, and also when people let their children run riot and be rude. You can't say too much in these situations but quietly fume or I look away so I don't have to see it.

 

[Apathetic]

It bothers me when people believe they're "right" about trivial aspects that other people do differently. I've heard heated arguments about how relationships should be, how many times a day a person must eat, how to study, how a person must live etc. Some people just don't understand that other people can believe something else, have different habits, different needs etc and try to impose their way on others, getting angry/irritated in the process (especially when the other person believes they're "right" too).

 

[djordjem87]

In some kind of confide sense it is usually when a person is cheeky with no particular reason or maybe just rude and with evil plans to hurt your feelings. When I see those under belt hits I get very angry because I just hate those people who like to provoke and use your pain to gain something. In broader sense, when I look the big picture, everything I just said is just plain stupidity and just bad attitude towards life. All these things are just a reflection of negativity that I really try to avoid and I stress, NOT HATE but avoid. I do get angry but I also do feel above hate and although I feel that emotion sometimes I fight it consciously.

I get so irritated with people who post their entire life story on social media, like every 3 minutes they post status of what is going on with them at this very second. Other things like when someone cuts me off in traffic, when someone is texting a driving and almost crashes into me, when people have their tiny toddlers in no car seat, when young teens think they are grown... Some days, it even makes me boil when a corner of my mattress is not covered by the sheet. Just depends I suppose.

I don't mind when my friends on Facebook posts very often about their lives. Of course, I haven't seen anyone posting every 3 minutes, except the time when my daughter-in-law went to hospital to deliver her second child. My son kept on updating on his Facebook wall. I really appreciated that. I couldn't be there in person but his frequent posts kept me in the loop, so to speak. Now, with Facebook Live, things happening to my friends in Facebook takes on an even more sense of immediacy.

Oh, there are just so many small things that really make my blood boil so I won't enumerate them anymore. There are times that I easily get annoyed over simple things but there are also times when my patience is long, that I don't get too affected by annoying circumstances. Right now, I am trying hard to manage my easily triggered temper as much as I can because I know that I'm not the only one who gets affected by it.

 

[Casm1ra]

One small thing that make me boil deep down inside is when other people refuse to hold themselves accountable and take responsibility for their part of a situation. I'm not perfect, I make plenty of mistakes due to having a lot of pride and being stubborn, but I always reflect and apologise when I have done something wrong, especially if it's hurtful to another person. My integrity won't allow me to be any other way. However, I get extremely annoyed when another person refuses to take any responsibility, refusing to believe that they could do anything wrong. Every interaction takes at least two people... though we are responsible for our emotions, they are triggered and a decent person would acknowledge them.

One thing that really gets to me is when someone thinks that they know better how to do your job than you do. I have a relative who is bad about this. He tries to take over everything I am doing, and acts like I am not capable of doing anything. He has even tried to take tools out of my hand while I was working on something, because he believes he knows better how to do it. He has been keeping his distance lately because I blew up on him about it, but I know he will be back at it before too much longer.

People who don't have their cash or card ready in the front of the queue piss me off as well. It's like they didn't know they were going for their purchage. Those people had time to get their wallet out while waiting in the queue.


Also people who pay for their 4€ purchage with 50€ (or even bigger) bank note piss me off as well. Mostly old people do this in order to get smaller banknotes. Why couldn't they just take those small banknotes straight out of the ATM? There is an option for that? If every single person does this, how will the cashier give you or the person right behind you the change?


Self-servise check-out has saved some nerves, but those machines sometimes frustrate me too.

Little racist comments. Especially from people who really should know better. I'm not talking about obvious hate speech but little things like calling Brazil nuts nigger toes. And I hear things like this from people who are definitely not racist but they just don't think! Makes me so mad.

 

[Zeesi]

One of my pet peeves is when a person is on an ego-trip. Ugh. They think they are the prettiest (they're not), or the smartest (definitely not), or the best thing in the world since sliced bread. I especially don't like when you befriend a person who is down, dust them off, help them out and when they get on their feet they act like they are doing you a favor by even speaking to you.


An old episode of "The Brady Bunch" comes to mind when I think of this behavior. "Marsha" helped some painfully shy, wallflower type-of-girl to transform her outer image, and then win class president, I think it was class president. At any rate, after the fact, the girl got all high and mighty and on an ego-trip about herself. She told Marsha that it didn't matter how she had got "here" but that she had arrived. I've known so may people like this, it isn't even funny. Irks me to the fullest.

I feel your pain. I have this trouble all the time especially with my family. We have a family full of big personalities and it feels like my thoughts and feelings are usually pushed aside, made fun of, or not even heard. It gets really frustrating most times we are discussing something that is important to me and I can't get my point across. It sometimes makes me feel like the outsider even though I know they love me and truly don't mean to make me feel this way. I should probably tell them but I am so use to it now that it feels that maybe its too late to bother.

I have been training myself not to get so mad at little things, like little old ladies who take forever in front of me. I have books so that I can wait in line for a length of time without getting too bothered. However, I find that certain things just set me off. A couple weeks ago I saw a couple of Lyndon Larouche people passing out flyers. One of their signs said that Putin was our friend. Since I have been following the situation in Syria since Arab Spring, I know that Putin is a mass murderer and an ally to mass murderers.


I shouldn't have been bothered by them because they were nuts and conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theories bother me because they represent a great deal of brain power being put to the use of proving bad beliefs. Yet, I couldn't bear it. That day I started yelling at them and one of them even said that Putin is only killing ISIS members (that's not true - the bombing is happening in Aleppo). I was yelling like an idiot and insulting them. I sounded like the crazy one.


It was a bad moment.
