50 Of The Things That Irritate Me

I got this Idea from Frustrated Writer at http://meanderingmusingsmustermadness.blogspot.com/ .

His list was great reading! Like me he is evidently a laid back kind of person, but also, on occasion, PO'd about something in his life. People sometimes ask me if I ever get angry. Yes! Absolutely! So here is a list of some of the things that irritate, aggravate, frustrate, and anger me.
