What makes you mad?

[Pax]

Bigots

Uninformed, ignorant people who loudly parrot others ideologies

Groups that refuse to acknowledge their privilege, and further, believe there is no discrimination because THEY haven't experienced it

[ny biker]

Too much to mention and thinking about it will just make me mad.

[OakLeaf]

People who profit from others' suffering. And all of the above, though any more a lot of what used to make me mad, just makes me very, very sad. I was young and idealistic and angry once ... now all the hate just wears me out.

[VeganBikeChick]

People who feel superior to others. Those that won't let you merge into traffic. Those who mistreat elderly/special needs/less fortunate people. People who are habitually late.

[Pax]

Those people that sit behind me in movie theaters. They make me mad. Every. Single. Time.

I'm cursed.

We've been to a movie theater exactly twice in the last decade (Serenity and The Avengers), first time it was packed to the gills with loud sweaty people, second time there were plenty of open seats and some latecomer sat right next to us and texted the entire time. Movie theaters suck.

[malkin]

Stupid politics make me so mad that I pretty much avoid all of it.

People who are mean to kids make me mad and I will take them on, head on, every time.

I only focus on being mad/angry long enough to see how I can move on in a personal positive way. My parents thought it important to help me develop emotional intelligence skills starting from an early age. I now look at difficult experiences as teachers that can help me sort through an angry feeling in a rational way and help me learn and apply positive strategies to resolve it. It’s now easier for me to do that than just let anger control my reaction.........i've learned that mindfulness and forgiveness can be worthwhile practices.


a perfect day for a ride to the farmers markets for some of next weeks food

lol - we only go to the movies on a weeknight for the last show because other people in movie theaters usually drive me bananas - they talk, munch with much crunching and lip smacking on overly noisy foods (why the frick is *popcorn* a movie food anyway - I hate, hate, hate to have to listen to people crunching on it - even polite people can't really eat it quietly and mouth open chewers.. don't get me started), kick the back of your seat etc. etc… if you go on a Tuesday night for the last show often you have the theater to yourself -aaaaaah bliss.

Monday night. You'll have the place to yourself.

I cannot stand when companies push out software updates that completely change the user interface and "fix" problems that didn't exist, ending up making the software harder to use than it was before. Perfect example: the google navigation app on my phone. Went from most brilliant app ever to totally useless of piece crap that drove me to buy a new Garmin Nuvi. Latest example: Amazon Kindle. Made the keyboard even worse than it was before, made email harder to use, basically turned it into a waste of $400 because now I'm back to using my phone and laptop instead of the kindle.

Also, people who drive below the speed limit in the left lane.

Inconsiderate people on the bus. I have a long (30 minute) bus ride with biking on each end. Because someone rushed to put her bike on ahead of me, the front seats (where I don't get bus sick) were each occupied by 1 person (~6 seats). With 1 exception, each person sat on the aisle and barricaded the free seat. The other person spread her stuff out all over the seat. I had to stand for the ride.
