    I get angry when I notice a certain form of ignorance mainly in the public, when some people in actually crowded places seem to think they're alone in the world.

    Example: you're on an escalator full of people. Now there are some of them which arrive at the end, stop and start looking around what oh-so-great-things are where they just arrived. Behind them there's chaos and turmoil because of the escalator moving on, but those standing and watching are completely unable just to move two steps further to clear the situation. In such situations I wished I had explosives strapped on my body

      I guess my common thread into what makes me angry is the act of stupidity, something even I've been guilty of. Though I generally get angrier when it is me being stupid, I still angry when others are stupid.

      I hate it when I ask a question and people seem to want to clarify my question for no apparent reason. Like yesterday I asked wifey where the brackets for the shelves I was installing were. She responds, "which bracket?" She knew I was talking about the shelf brackets because we were both standing in front of the gaping whole where the shelves had fallen out. I said, "the ones I am installing." She said, "the new ones or the ones that were there before?" I said, "whichever ones you want me to install." She says, "the new ones are in the laundry room." I said, "and where are the old one?" She says, "in the laundry room."

      !!!

      She's not the only one who does this.

      I also hate seeing stupidity in the form of denial. Like, I can't have lunch with my friend who complains that their company won't pay for lap band surgery as they scarf down half the menu at McDonalds. Or how they order a diet coke... Yeah, you know what?! I'm fat but I don't beitch about it!

      I also hate stupidity in the form of inefficiency. You know, dipsh, you stopped at the stop sign so you can go. There is no reason to watch me stop before you can go!

      Those 3 are probably the big ones. Stupidity in the form of ignorance makes me laugh. Though I do get mad when I see people correct ignorance in Asheresque fashion.

      Anyway, what makes you angry and how do you coupe.

      Oh, and so you know, angry people make me angry... (<- I just said that to preempt BeBro or some other jokester who will most likely spam my thread with things I hate.)

        I only get angry at myself. I'm a perfectionist. . It's a terrible affliction (although it wouldn't be so bad if I was perfect )

        Actually I do get angry at other things. Crimes. But certain crimes make me angrier than others. crimes against me make me angry. And crimes against women and children.

          That's an excellent example. Another one is when people get onto a train, and then stop moving once they're just inside the doors.

          Look lively, sh!tforbrains! There are people other than you who also want to get on the train, and you're in their way.

            I hate that so much!

              Definitely the "I'm the only person in the world" situations. When I take my 3 year old to the store I am very cautious of those around me and make sure she is not in the way. It's amazing how many people think their kids are so cute that they think it's okay for them to run around like they own the damn place. Additionally, why do people stop in the middle of an isle? Or leave their cart as a roadblock? Seriously people.

                And inevitably, those are the same people who shouldered their way to the front when the train pulled up, so they could be the first ones to board.

                  I actually tip my cart over, to prevent anyone from passing me. Screw everyone else.

                        People who use the word "ask" as a noun. Such as "That's a big ask."

                        Unforgiveable.

                          I never saw that one before and while I never thought much of Oprah before this I think even less of her now. It certainly doesn't look good though I'd have to hear more about the context to see if it was tongue in cheek or not. Just seeing that clip I'd say it wasn't though I could see it being some sort of response to McCain's "The One" ads; an attempt to flip McCain's attack ads against him or something.

                              Not to mention people that pile up trying to getting on the train and can't understand why those trying to get off it don't move
                              With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
