Things that annoy you

In the interweb world, those that make controversial posts, then edit or delete them when taken to task.

EGADS!
That is annoying!

What's even more annoying is getting ganged up on by naysayers who want to rub your opinion in the mud.

I get mildly annoyed when my aunt calls me right at the beginning of an X-Files episode, which happened about an hour ago.
Since her husband just died, I didn't think it would be wise to just let the phone ring, but in retrospect I should have, and just called her back in the morning.
She's got all day to call me, but waits until prime time.
I assume she has some sort of calling program that makes it cheaper after 20:00.

So self centred...How dare she!....
 
Hate hate hate human trafficking
‘Human trafficking impacts the lives of more than 1.2 million people around the world each year, and 80 per cent of those affected are from South-East Asia – this is our neighbourhood.

‘Hagar is doing an amazing job restoring the lives of women and children suffering from severe physical and mental trauma after experiencing unimaginable human rights abuses. Hagar gives these people hope and a new life, and isn’t afraid to tackle the hardest cases. Hagar will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore a broken life. It’s an easy decision to support Hagar.’

The idiot in front of me who is texting and won't get on with things when the #$@% traffic signal changes. Then that moron finally goes when the light turns yellow, causing everyone behind him to wait another cycle. The horn on my motorcycle doesn't work, which makes my wife happy, but makes me annoyed.

Texters in motion scare the living beeejeeebers out of me. There was a woman coming the other way in a ginormous SVU who was looking at her lap. I was debating whether to drop the bike and jump over the car next to me, try to rocket through the intersection and take my chances, or what. She missed somehow, so I just got a fresh set of diapers. #$#%@ people on the roads.

Big part of the reason I sold my Ducati and gave up riding. BTW get that horn fixed for that is one of the many things that can save you.
I dunno. I drove a cab in New York back when. A horn is an offensive weapon in the wrong hands. Plus, the little Suzuki sounds like some kind of tank or something when I blip the throttle. That's usually good enough.

What would really be useful is a disintegrator ray. Somebody is on the phone and not paying attention? ZAAAP! Gone! Somebody weaving around and being erratic while texting? ZAAAP! Gone! Problems solved! Plus, that's a few less dumpty people in their dumpty pods clogging up the highways and byways of this fine country.
