Like...merging into traffic, you're cruising along fine now, so you reach for you coffee or soda pop and then realize the last time you saw it was when you placed it on the roof of your car while you loaded up something(s).
I once tried this as a joke... On an old pick-up, I glued a cup with a cover to the roof just above the door jam. In driving to school, I counted thrity people waving to me, trying to get my attention. I just smiled and waved back...   
That's just too good.  LMAO

I can top that!... Capsules that come in the blister packs. The purpose of a capsule is make it easier to swallow, but how is that going to happen when it comes out of the packaging all dented and banged up from trying to squeeze them through the tin foil and cardboard holder?...

Re: Small annoyances
What about waking up in the middle of the night and the toilet paper roll is empty? Okay, you are out of it, searching for another roll, bumping into the sink, tripping over the rug, feeling your way around the bathroom, cause you can't take the light in your eyes if it is turned on, omg!! Then you finally find a roll, then the problem is trying to replace the empty roll with the new one, oh hell, I just leave it on the sink til morning when I am fully awake, as my fingers just don't want to function in the middle of the night with a roll oftoilet paper.

How about when you politely blink your lights at them to ask them to move and they flip you off? Or when you realize that theres just enough room in the right lane to pass them and then they speed up and box you in? Yep, Im guilty of road rage!
Or better yet, when they drive with their blinker on. You can't tell whether or not they are actually going to get over or forget it's still blinking. So you decide to pass them on that side and they finally move into that lane slowing you down again...

Re: Small annoyances
Noticed it more with buffet type restaurants, if you go there to eat, and have no coats or anything to make it pretty darn obvious you're there and not done eating yet (just because a 4-year-old had to go to the bathroom and wanted someone with when its just the two of you) and when you get back, they cleared off your whole table.
Couldn't they see 2 glasses full of pop, the plate was still pretty full. What more do they need?

Here's a good example regarding to one of my other posts something about what you learned from your parents and I had said, "being a man (yes, in my case.. woman) of your words". After i posted it, I thought, well I know I'm not very thorough on that as much as I'd like in all cases, but with what pleasantnight just posted, that's what I was implying my response from the other post to mean in which I didn't at all clarify.
Basically, if I know I can't be there or am running late, whatever the reason for an appointment or being there for my friends, or meeting them somewhere, like I told them, I will let them know if something's come up.

Re: Small annoyances
These ain't small annoyances... They piss me off, big time!!
I was at the auto park yesterday and had to wait almost 30 minutes for a stupid train droppin' off some cars! I swear, next time I'm pilin' up some dirt like they did on Mythbusters and pullin' a Bo and Luke Duke on their ass!!
Left from there and had to go to Cedar fucking HILL to get crickets at Petco and had a brand spankin' new Jaguar pull out in front of me! Almost rammed him in the ass. I swerved around him, bitchin' and givin' him the finger!
On my way to pick up the kiddos, a woman tried to pull away in front of me at a 4 way stop, which I was at first!!! She didn't get ahead of me but I saw her mouth moving... had to roll down my window and ask her what the hell her problem was. Her mouth quit movin'.....
Was on my way home and some impatient asshole was ridin' my ass as I was steadily moving around a rig in the left lane. I guess 70mph wasn't fast enough for the son of a bitch! I rolled down my window when I got into the right lane.... The fucker flipped me off.... I flipped him off right back with my hand out the window, yelling, "**** you, fat ass!!"
He got stopped by a red light in town....
I keep tellin' my family that I want to carry a gun... they say no 'cause I'd kill somebody. Well hell, that's my point! DUH! Seriously, though. I told 'em I'd shoot out their tires first... then, if they had a problem with that, I'd shoot 'em!
I'm just waitin' for some poor sap to call me on this road rage crap... I feel like beatin' someone to a bloody pulp right about now
I know, this isn't like me.... just had a bad day yesterday and had to let it out!!!!!
