about anger

People who know me [especially Joel] often accuse me of being too forgiving, too tolerant, with a disconcerting lack of anger and irritability. Therefore, I am going to make a list [albeit an incomplete list] of things that royally piss me off, just for the record:

-Carelessness
-Apathy
-Ridicule
-Littering (that should go under 'Apathy')(and probably under 'Self-Importance' too)
-Self-Importance = this includes:
-people who interrupt others in conversation
-people who drive dangerously. Especially those assholes who come up behind you and flash their high beams to tell you to speed the hell up and let them through. Especially when you're already going the speed limit and there's plenty of room for them to go around you in another lane.
-drunken college students who have loud parties and keep the whole neighborhood awake all night.
-people who allow themselves to be rude to strangers just because they don't ever have to see them again.
-people who are dismissive and/or curt towards waiters/waitresses or other customer service reps.
-people who act without first thinking how their actions will affect others
-drunk college students
-people who do any kind of in-person business transaction while simultaneously having a personal conversation on a cell phone.
-did I mention: drunk college students
-loud campers
-Americans who act like 'Americans' while they're abroad
-a friend who puts you on hold for more than one minute to answer the other line...
-...in fact, anyone whose actions consistently indicate that their time is more important than yours.
