Anger Management (or My Personal Dislike of People)

It's true. I have anger issues. Most people that know me would say that I'm laid back and easy going but the truth of the matter is...I'm a time bomb ticking away.

"Irritated with what?" you might ask. The fact of the matter is, I'm irritated with people in general. It's difficult to narrow the reasons down so here's a general list:

The way you drive or do any of the following while driving:

• talk on your mobile phone,
• put on make-up,
• read a newspaper,
• read a book,
• look at a map,
  
• drive too slow
• Especially in the fast lane!!
  
• There is a posted speed limit. If you don't add 5 to 10 MPH to that then, for the love of God, at least drive the posted speed and stay the hell out of the friggin fast lane!!
• don't pass the other pathetic bastards that are holding you, me and the other road rage victimizers up in senseless traffic
  

The disdain with which you treat others

• Especially when you sport a religious symbol or bumper sticker on your vehicle or around your neck...

The complete lack of respect or concern for others around you

• Once again, especially when sporting a religious symbol

Questions

• I don't mean questions from individuals or children that shouldn't know the answer. I mean questions from you supposedly educated and knowledgeable that, for some reason, are unable to remember how to research your own answers. Hello Google!!
  

Lines

• I spent almost six years in the Marine Corps standing in lines for anything from getting food from the mess hall to needing to squat over a rank smelling hole in the ground. I despise the fact that I will have to stand in lines the rest of my life but especially when I'm behind you while:
• You are in the 12 Items or Less line with 30 friggin items
• You are in the Cash Only line with your credit or debit card in hand
• You are in the Self Service line without a friggin clue as to how to use anything vaguely electronic, let alone computerized
• This one gets me every time...You stand in line with your friends and chat it up without paying the least bit of attention to the progress of the line or the other poor schmucks in the line behind you
  

Noise

• Has anyone ever heard of stepping out to take a call?
• How about controlling the volume of your voice when you are in a public area?
• My personal favorite: Are you people incapable of CHEWING WITH YOUR BLOODY MOUTHS CLOSED!

I'll add more when I have a few moments more. Until then try to remember this: If any of the above lists of items apply to you in any way, shape or malformed sentence then you are number one with me:
