What makes you want to scream ?

As you go about your daily lives, is there anything that makes you so frustrated that you want to scream ?

What makes me upset is people who don't even make an attempt to think or make the slightest attempt to plan ahead.

Example: Yesterday I was waiting for the city bus. There was a woman at the bus stop before me and when the bus arrived I, naturally, let her get on ahead of me. Well this "genius" stepped up to the coin meter and then, only then, did she suddenly realize that she had to pay. Duh. Well, she proceeded to rummage through her hand-bag. She rummaged and rummaged and rummaged. She pulled out a makeup case, a head-scarf, several hair brushes, an over-sized comb, a nylon bag containing God knows what, and still she looked. Meanwhile, I'm standing in the hot sun and everyone else on the bus was forced to delay their journey.

The only thing I did not see her pull out the that steamer trunk of a handbag was a spare tire.

Finally, the bus driver said, "Never mind paying. Just go sit down, PLEASE."
What in the world is wrong with some people ? :aargh:

What really gets to you ?
 

Whiners
People who ask for suggestions then think of reasons why your suggestions or advice won't work.
People who never accept blame/responsibility for anything.

I've learned to shut these people down or walk away from them.
 
Folks ahead of me in line wondering what to do next.

Women straightening the seam in their stocking and not allowing me to watch !
 

Like the woman on the bus, she and millions of her sisters pull the same B.S. at the checkout line. Rummaging through that monstrous handbag while people in-line behind them wait for her to decide what to do.

Exactly and living in the rural country, people seem to feel it’s ok to use our roads to dump their used mattresses, carpets etc.,

ok I guess I’ve moved on to whining now ... :lol:
 
So.... I have a "big handbag" came in handy for me today as I toted around my mothers water bottle. Bless her heart she gets a dry throat and can't talk sometimes.

HEY! I have a BIG handbag too. It IS great for stuffing just about EVERYTHING in it. :yes:

Oh your poor mom. I hope she feels better soon. :praying:
 
What makes me want to scream?....Hummm..ah. I need to think on that .....I want to scream just to let it go but nothing yet...I was taught to be quite.
 
People who stand and stare at the menus in fast food places...Umm,they've been around for like 100 years and they all sell some variation of the same crappy food.
 
People who are totally oblivious to what and who is around them. They block the aisles in stores and the lanes on the streets.
 
What makes you want to scream?

Negativity

Seeing the ‘bad’ in most everything
Watching someone ahead in line, struggling, then telling others how it messed with their day

Doesn’t really cause me to scream.
More like choke, s-l-o-w-l-y choke the individual


Just a few days ago, I was in the grocery checkout line.
This ancient, short, wrinkled little woman, just ahead of me, was fiddling with her debit card…then her rewards card, then her medications, and back to her debit card, needing help with the demands on the screen.

It took awhile

I thought, ‘oh gawd, here we go’, at first

Then settled in to some entertainment

She….was…..so……cute!
Never were her nerves rankled
The calmest, sweetest demeanor thru it all, and upon preparing to journey to the door, turned, thanked the cashier, waved….and she was gone…..eventually

I asked the cashier a bit about her
Turns out she’s 99 yrs old, quite well known, and very independent

Made my day
 
I look and watch those ahead of me and think....that's gonna be me one day. I give them Kudos for just gettin' in the car and doin' what they got to do. Nobody helpin' them out. How bout ' a little compassion for the feeble. (In a mood) I just think at my age what the heck do I have to do today that is so dang important that I can't wait a "few" extra minutes as they tend to their business.

Exactly. That’s how I feel also. That’s how I am going to be someday and I most certainly believe in karma.
We should be more patient with ALL of life. Every experience has lessons to be learned if we are open to them.
