I compiled a list of things that tick me off in most cases. Some may be silly, some serious:
1. People telling me or starting out a political discussion with "I'm Republican/Democrat..." To me that just translates to "I'm an ignorant douchebag."
2. People who can't ever stop to listen, and particularly when listening is vital. Or just being quiet. I think after being in choirs for 5 years, I've developed the same sense of anal sensitivity to when a cellphone goes off in a concert, or someone's whispering disrupts a pianissimo. Its a nearly unforgivable moment, and I have no pity for the offender, even if first time offense. Not only are you destroying a moment that took hours of practice and hard work, you've destroyed an atmosphere and work of art that is hard to restore, and often times will not ever quite sound the same.
3. Poetry with swearing in it. It doesn't make sense and pisses me off. Its not poetry.
4. Movie reboots and sequels that are uncalled for. Pirates of the Caribbean did not need a sequel. A possible reboot of Batman is stupid. Profit ruins many a good thing.
5. Pictures with obvious flash. I love natural lighting. And those annoying flash photographs are a nightmare.
6. Opportunities that walk by without being grabbed either by myself or another person.
7. Internet trolls. Yes I can be one too...have been one at some time as well. And there is nothing quite like trolling a troll.
8. People who throw a huge gruff about something that does not matter. During our film class shoot, a older teacher kept walking by and glaring at us and throwing a big show of being annoyed in general with us. We had permission to be there, our instructor was there as well. There was no reason for it, and it only threw us on edge.
9. Disorganization. This is a new one for me. I generally operate in a disorganized way. However if it is important enough and if it is something I want to accomplish, I grow increasingly frustrated if it lacks organization.
10. Hot sticky days and cold freezing days. Give me somewhere in between.
