Things That Make You Irrationally Angry

That food has calories. Although, I think this may be rational anger.0

Like, when like people, like
can't, like finish a, like sentence,
without, like,
putting the word like in, like,
every other word.
ohh, it's like, so like frustrating
I think my generation started that back in the early 80s and it drove me crazy. Same thing with "all.". She was all like XXXX, and he was all like XXXX. Valley girl speak. Ugh.
Babies. Which is probably horrible and unfair, but they drive me crazy. Every time (every .35 seconds or less, to be exact) one of them opens their mouth to scream or wail i want to choke slam them, but then im like "oh wait its just a baby it doesnt know any better." So then i just want to jump into the ocean and hang out a while till they grow up, but by them there will be tons more babies...ugh.
This...save for the slamming and choking of the babies

Agreed..can't stand the sound of balloons0 -
Oh how about:
I always try and park mi car very far away from others. But on occasion, there will be a fellow that will leave all other spaces empty between us, then park right next to my car (well, I get paranoid and get into OPSEC mode, but come off it lad/lass! Can you not park elsewhere?)!0 -
driving in traffic and someone throws there hands up in the air. I instantly gesture to them they're #10

People who always try to one up you. I lost 2 pounds. Oh well I lost 5 pounds. I have a headache. Oh, I have migraine.2

"Stupidity"1

I think I like you!Great posts lol. I guess I could be culpable to some of the posts. I have some, but my major one (pardon the very long post):
Dog Owners
a. Dog walks
i. If a dog is walking ahead of you and not alongside or behind you, you are not walking the dog! And those flex-leashes, and those that go around the dog’s trunk, rather than the neck - ugh!
ii. Walking the dog while texting/using phone. The walk (and mastering it) is the most important and powerful thing in a dog’s life. One should walk the dog with the dog's benefit in mind
b. Talking to a dog in a “baby/cooing” voice
c. When people meet a dog and think it okay to pet the dog right away (while using the “baby” voice) – this is not how dogs meet in the wild (pack world). They smell each other and etc. Why not be patient? How about not look, touch, or "talk" to the dog until he/she has smelled you/he or she initiates the meeting? It takes quite a bit of patience, but it works. And you will once in a while hear a complaint that, “I just bent down to say hello to the dog, and suddenly he/she bit me,” oh?...but did you see/understand the dog’s body language before you did that, or did you just see the end result?
d. Double standards – when someone declares how their dog is their baby, yet do not restrain the dog, say, while driving (would you let your own child ride unrestricted in the vehicle?), or jumping on strangers on the way or visitors at home, letting a dog (especially small breeds - one may think it cute that a Chihuahua barks at anyone wanting to socialize with his/her owner while the dog is seated on the owner's lap) get away with murder
e. Blaming dogs (including not understanding powerful breeds – which lead to most being destroyed or being returned to shelters – though that there are red zone cases that are beyond salvage) for their behaviour
i. The dog does not understand you shouting at it...he/she feels does not feel sorry and he/she is not depressed about this and that…dogs pick up on energy. If you are a nervous person for example, the dog will not trust you. The dog may find a need to step in and “protect” its pack as its leader, hence why the dog would go after other dogs while on a walk, for example. Change you and the dog will change.
ii. At the dog park, you see a fight, then go on to blame dog B, yet it is your dog that entered the park with his tail held really high, did you notice that the whites of his eyes were more prominent? Did you see how your dog approached dog B (head-on as opposed from the side; was the head held high or low)? How was your frame of mind right before you left for the park, or before disembarking from the car? Did you see that when you approached that dog in a high-pitched, excited mind that the dog started jumping all over you? That may not be because he likes you…..
f. Using human psychology rather than dog/animal psychology on dogs
i. Can you tell an aggressive dog from a nervous, excited, timid, or an obsessive one? Does your dog trust you? Are you a pack leader (not by hurting, but by being calm and assertive)
ii. Do you know (why) most (with the exception of a few) dogs in the rural areas/”free range” have less “psychological” problems, less medication etc?
iii. Do you understand the different barks/growls?
iv. “I will not neuter/spay my dog because I will change his personality/he or she will be so depressed”…uhm…what? Lol
v. Do you fulfill the dog’s needs and desires (as an animal) first before yours (e.g., religiously walking, general wellness, food, shelter, giving the dog something to do etc) – dressing up a dog may be something you like, but that is not fulfilling the dog’s needs
vi. Do you follow through with your commands in a calm way? Do you have set boundaries and limitations for your dog? Sometimes you find powerful people (in powerful positions) where they assert authority at work every day, but often ran down by their dogs at home lol
vii. Have you watched your dog in a pack or in the pack? You may learn a lot about your dog from the other dogs (sans humans). They are the best teachers
viii. Do you know why your dog barks all day or wees while you are away at work? Do you take him on a rigorous walk beforehand? Do you prep him to leave or do you coo, “I am going to work now…be a good boy now…you will be ok…it is ok…?”
g. Not picking after one’s dog
h. Thank you for saving lives of shelter dogs when you adopt one, but please choose the right dog for you. Just putting your fingers through the cage so he can smell, or thinking a dog is cute does not do.
How is the dog’s energy/personality matched to yours or your household’s? How do you meet the dog for the first time at the shelter? How do you introduce the dog to your home the first time? Do you know how to lay the foundation down for a well-balanced dog? How do you socialize your dog with others?

I am not a morning person. I don't want to talk to anyone until I've had my coffee but there's this particular someone who gets surprised every morning by this fact even though they know how I am they still give me crap and that pisses me off.1
-
People who walk really slowly in shopping centres (malls?) and other busy public places, and even more so if they suddenly stop for no obvious reason. I go from neutral to irrationally angry in seconds.1
-
People who bring their kids(the hyperactive and loud ones) to places they shouldn't. For instance, a nice restaurant or church. It's even worse when they don't even bother to try and keep them calm. Permission to discipline?2

People driving in the left hand lane and you see me climbing up your bumper when there is no one in the right lane. Slower traffic keep right!
And me editing this twice because my coffee hasn't kicked in.0 -

This…especially on my street and therefore leaving nowhere for the people who live here to park since we park on the street.0 -

One-uppers are the worst. I know several people like that. Life is not a competition.

I got angry last night because I had almost 700 calories worth of food and it didn't even make me full. But then, I can have 200 or less, and I'm stuffed?! What the heck is up with that?!2
