It’s a sad fact of life that it doesn’t take a whole pile to put a dampener on an otherwise perfectly acceptable day. Perhaps we should really be rising above it all, but then again, perhaps other people shouldn’t be complete assholes. Since we’re already looked at 11 little wins that can make your day, we thought it was time to also take a look at those moments that can turn you wicked on Wednesday or frosty on Friday faster than you can say ‘Put the kettle on’…

______________________________

1) People who skip the queue. Glares of unfettered rage. Glares. 

2) People who start clapping when a plane lands… WERE WE NOT EXPECTING THAT?

3) People who try to get on a bus or into a lift without waiting for anyone to come out. This is going one way buddy, so get the hell out of my way.

 

4) People who stop suddenly on the path in front of you, no warning at all, causing you to slap your nose off the back of their head, or put on your walking brakes so suddenly that someone walks into the back of your head. No win.

5) Chuggers. Enough said. 

 

6) People who park in the disabled space or the mother and child space when they clearly shouldn’t be in either. There is a special place in hell for this lot. 

7) The person who offers you the trolley they’re returning for your euro, ‘saving’ you the hassle of getting one out of the trolley bay, without telling you it’s got a gammy wheel and the next thirty minutes of your life will be spent leaning to the left to correct it and avoiding collisions.

8) People who use a laser card to pay for something that costs €1.19, and take their sweet time while they’re at it. Lunch break is over before you’ve made it back from the shop.

9) People who play their tunes on loudspeaker on the bus. Oh, some tinny rip of a terrible Kanye track on a packed bus? Just what I needed after a long day, thought no one.

10) The person you wait to hold the door open for who then refuses to acknowledge your existence. Don’t let it hit you on the arse on the way out, will you? 

11) The co-worker who uses the last of the milk but puts the empty carton back in the fridge. Woe.
