My frustrations in life

One thing that really frustrates me is the driving habits of other people. I hate it when I am driving and someone pulls out in front of me.
And then they pull out in front of you and pretty much stop in front of you.

I also hate these four way stops because no one knows the rule. People try to be courteous but there is always that one person who thinks it’s their turn to go and you and everyone else knows it’s not. My blood just boils and I have to talk myself down. If I was a violent person, I think road rage would be my downfall.

Another thing that frustrates me is when I go to a restaurant and you expect great service. Well, it takes forever for you to get your food and even longer to get a refill on your drink. But at the very end of your meal, the person waiting on you are so attentive. You know they are doing it only to get a good tip. Now I’m more frustrated because I really don’t want to leave a tip but I feel guilty if I don’t. So I’m frustrating myself even more.

The other thing that bothers me is standing in long lines especially at a well known department store. Why do you have15-20 cash registers and only have 2-4 of them open during peak hours. That bothers me. I think a marketing person would know what hours are your peak hours and then have more cash registers opens. Then of course I get in a line and the person ahead of me has items without tags on them. They then have to page someone from the floor and no one comes or calls them.
