What are some things that frustrate you? Can you find any values that explain why they bug you so much?

 What are some things that frustrate you? Can you find any values that explain why they bug you so much?

SOME things that frustrate me? I could literally list ALL the things that frustrate me and still find more to add to that list. The length of that list sounds frustrating enough.

For the sake of the exercise, I'll share a couple of things that have frustrated me recently. 

Ya' know what I hate? I find it frustrating when people assert unnecessary, useless authoritative opinions from a distance. What I mean is, you ever have a boss who works remotely? You drive into work every day and there's a group of cars who speed past your spot so quickly, they could hit you and prevent you from safely backing out. You tell your boss about this issue. In your mind, the resolution is to add speed limit signs or speed humps...your boss who works from afar? Let's put a traffic light right behind your parking spot. YUP! Right in the middle of the parking lot, just for you. You say you think that's a terrible idea...your boss agrees. A week later, you go to pull into the parking lot and the line is wrapped around the corner, moving up periodically. You finally get to the blockage and low-and-behold...there's a new traffic light installed. Right before (and after, depending on the direction your flowing) to your spot. 

That's my example of an assertive, useless opinion. 

Another thing that frustrates me is listening. I hate to listen. I hate when I already know what you're going to say because you've told me this story a million times or because I was in the same conversation as the event you're talking about, or I was there watching the same bullshit meeting unfold... I don't want to re-hear it. I can't. As your story folds, unfolds, and then REfolds, I literally feel the agitation flowing smoothly from my feet up to my waist, through my bladder and upward towards my stomach, my chest, my throat. Now I feel it trickling down my arms into my fingertips and finally up to my mouth...by the time the frustration reaches my brain, I'm immediately triggered to cut you off. Not sure how, depends on the person and the vibe but for sure, I've got to. I've got to say something distracting or condescending to shut you up. I cannot re-listen to useless information that I am 98% sure is useless for me. 

I'm not going to pretend to be enlightened, I heard this already. 

I'm not going to laugh at this joke again, I've heard it already. 

I'm not going to actively listen to your family saga, I've heard it already. 

I know every cousin, aunt, coworker, sibling, and pet and what they'll say all because I've listened too much to your shit.

The next thing that frustrates me is when people agree to do something and then don't follow through. Oh, you wanna ruffle a bitch feathers? Promise me you'll do something. Commit to participating in something with me and then get there and whine about how much you'd rather not do it. Complain to me about how you'll never agree to do that particular thing again. Let me know how uncomfortable doing said task makes you feel. I will politely say "Well fuck you then. You shoulda just said no." and you can guarantee I will never ask you for anything ever again. When I say NEVER? the Gemini in me may be a mood swinger but I'm no mind-changer. I won't try to change your mind to like helping me nor will I change mine about inviting you to do shit else with me. Nope. Frustrated. Done with you, you dusty unreliable party pooping ass cry-baby turd.

As I vent, this feels great. Like I mentioned earlier, there are a plethora of things that frustrate me lmao 

I find value in explaining why these things bug me because it just confirms that I'm rightful in how I feel. I find that reading my thoughts and feelings solidifies the fact that I am not trippin and these are valid things that should frustrate anyone. Quite frankly, I don't understand how there are people out here in these streets doing these frustrating ass things to others. Especially to me.

One last thing, and I hope this breaks a habit for whoever this applies to.

If you see me on the phone, do not talk to me. Do not stand by and wait for me to get off the phone. Just come back another time, leave me a note, but do not interrupt or impose into my shit. It's rude and evasive. I'm not going to end my phone call for you, and I may even make it longer just because you're waiting for me. Fuck you, you are a rude, impatient, entitled, son of a non-office support associate. If you were a son of an office woman, she'd have definitely instilled some phone etiquette in dat ass. 

Ok, thanks. 

Bye :)
