12. when people demand that they receive a level of service beyond what others are receiving
13. the news
14. when people think that me not being religious means I'm a bad person
15. when people don't know or just don't follow the rules of right of way at a four-way stop, or block intersections, or don't stop to let people out of parking spaces and into traffic
16. people who don't pull over for emergency vehicles
17. when I can't remember what date the milk expires, and the tag is gone
18. doing dishes and putting away laundry
19. when I'm busy enjoying and appreciating something and someone reminds me that it will end-- like summer, for example
20. people who act like they knew someone who's passed away better than they really did
21. being underestimated
22. the fact that my computer can't multitask
23. when teenage girls wear tiny shorts/skirts and t-shirts, and nothing else, outside in ten degree weather
24. the way most commercials for medicines don't even say what the medicine is for... I guess I have to ask my doctor if it's right for me, cause I have NO IDEA what it does
25. "The Secret"
