Those are the big ones.
Damn, you must be my sister in another life. Basically, those things stated above are the same things that can get me going from 0 to bitch in record time. However, I'm learning to not let those things get to me, as much, anymore. I used to rage against it all, but now, I just have a few moments, and then let it go. Especially the one about people wanting help but don't bother taking advice...that shit I just shrug off. I now make the offer for the help, and if they drag their feet about it, I say, "oh well". And life moves on. I can no longer stress out about others and what they are going to do...I have to think of me and trying to live as close to a stressfree life as possible (basically because of my failing health).

However...that doesn't mean that things don't push my buttons. Heh!
