Easy! My neighbor smoking cigars outside...2-3x each day, every day for about 2 hours at a time. I say this only b/c the smoke blows into my windows!!!! I hate the smell and don't like how it can cause cancer (esp. b/c my father died of lung cancer). I get to angry to go talk to him and DH is too shy.

I get angry when people don't think their actions consequences on others.. for example.. people who take up three seats on the train.. make a U-turn on a busy street.. won't move when you need to get by (even after yo have said excuse me 5X already.)

those are the ones really get under my skin. i usually make a comment or give them a physical gesture.. and after that, then they have that stupid, 'What?' look on their face.

Exactly! Well said. That's what I meant by 'people who take up too much space in the world.'

Another thing that drives me crazy is the Fox News Channel. I can't even watch a second of it. All of the pundit guys are so mean -- they're like a bunch of thugs. Sometimes DH puts it on for a joke...

Fox makes me gag.. they are so biased. There's a documentary abou tthem called, 'Outfoxed.' I can be a news junkie.. I find myself watching a lot of MSNBC.

My DH works for Fox News! That's ok --- I agree with you anyway.

Bus drivers who drive erratically while children are on board I called a school today because their van was in front of me, loaded with kids, and the driver kept cutting people off and swerving. The number for the school was on the van, so I called. I hope they get fired. But they won't, I know it.

It would have to be during rush hour and people hold the train doors open and let 20 people run in. That pisses me off so much!!!!!

Re: QOTD: If you had to name the 1 thing that repeatedly makes you angriest, what would it be?

people who assume i'm young simply because i look young, and then treat me as if they are better than me because of their age

when i go to look at cars with a male and the salesperson won't even look at me, even when i ask the questions

when parents clearly don't know how to raise their children, and there's nothing you can do about it becuase it's 'none of your business'

when people walk really slowly in a mall, with 5 people across and swerve so you're stuck behind them

when parents threaten to punish their kids and dont' follow through because it's a public place and it would be inconvenient

I can't choose just one!

SOOOO with you on that one!!

However my one thing would have to be:

My boss trying to tell me when & how to do my job when he does not have one INKLING as to HOW to DO MY JOB!!

OR

Long Island Traffic -- where do I begin? When there is traffic for no reason, the rubberneckers, people who block the right turn lane. ... When there is that ONE person going 20 mph in the left or middle lane making everyone ELSE NUTS! THOSE are the people that CAUSE accidents!!

Giant SUVs who pull up on your left when you are trying to make a right and BLOCK your entire view... then they have the audacity to INCH UP to get a BETTER VIEW?!?!

I waived a bus to pull over in front of my house this past May. He blew right through a stop sign. I called the school to report him too, but I doubt anything came of it.

Those people that hand out the papers & flyers that stand at the top of the escalators at Penn Station under the MSG Marquis. It seems there were finally told to keep the area right by the exit clear but now they block the paths between the planters.

(I am not referring to the NYPD, FDNY or teachers, just the people hawking AM New York, Metro and local store flyers).
