I thought it was just one day but ever since I started working at the age of sixteen people piss me off so bad! I have a million complaints a day and its not because I think im better then them they just do and say such stupid things. GAH! Recently, whats the one or more things that someone did, stranger or friend, that just pissed you off? Or what do a lot of people do with out knowing that piss you off? Like bad habits? How angry do you get?

My advise to you is,"Get over it!" Anger is a debilitating emotion that will lead to heart attack, and or stroke. This is not a threat its a proven fact. Learn to see the Perfection in Everything. Notice how much better you feel when you are happy instead of Mad. I Never get Angry or Mad. I'm 74, still working every day, and haven't had a medical checkup for 35 years.

Just getting me started on this subject, I could write a bible. It seems that we are surrounded by selfish, self-centered, ill-mannered people that would just as soon knock you down as look at you.
I've been in customer service, retail and industrial, all my working life. My job was to make someone's day a little better, even if they had a complaint. That kind of service is non-existent any more.
In the sixties, it was a time of love and peace. Yes we had our hippies (a little weird) but the concept was based on kindness.
In the seventies, someone wrote a book about being your own best friend and most people mistook it for the right to be selfish.
Every decade since then has basically gotten worse. The mine, Me First Generation drives me nuts. We have become a nation of two year olds.
Now since 9-11, my community which was a blue-collar industrial city, is a wasteland for jobs. People are working two and three lower paying retail type jobs to keep from losing their homes. Every block has at least 2-3 homes for sale because they are losing them or they have to move to find work.
It's truly become an angry nation and believe me, you are not alone in your feelings. People take out their frustrations every day on each other and are rude and ugly to their fellow humans.
To answer your question, I start out my day smiling and by the time I drive across town and see people driving insanely, I'm already ticked-off for the day... then if I have to go to the store, it gets worse!

Hehe the angry baby looks cute. Well I would say you are not the only one. I had several similar experience. One of them was happened shortly after my graduation and had my first job in life. The woman in charge of my dept kept finding fault with me. I really got pissed off after I checked myself and found no problem. Colleagues told me afterwards that she was a little bit jealous coz the manager said once in a meeting that the freshers are intelligent and promising. I was only 21, sort of easy to get pissed off. Much easier to calm down myself now even unfair things happen to me. Maybe this is life :)
