Life's to short to sweat the small stuff.

I TRY not to get worked up about much.  Again, life is too short to fill a moment up with negative energy/frustration.

People's horrible attitudes at work. I get that everyone is going through something and try to assume the best. 

But today, for example. Ran into three instances in the morning alone where the other person was just so crazy-awful-rude-cranky-pants to me and my co-workers. In front of others, on a conference call, in a group email. 

Maybe something is in the air today.

The other day on the same run I had two different cars filled with obese people fail to yield to me running--one was turning into a McDonalds, the other a Taco Bell.  Priceless.

Never get between one of these types and their next super-sized Big Mac meal.  That's just downright dangerous, and technically is your fault.

Especially when they're trying to run you over -- I indulge myself in about any stereotype I'd like at that point.  I figure when someone shows zero regard for your life, you can pretty much regard them however you'd like.

Emoticons are grammar?

http://www.villalazyheart.com/2012/10/15/how-emoticons-affect-your-childrens-grammar/  <-- pointing out that children's should be possessive, but since an apostrophe is a "special character" it may not be allowed in the syntax when creating weblinks/URLs.

I don't understand that nonsense you've written about "children's."

I am intolerant of those that feel it's horrible to text and drive yet find no problem with eating in the car, tending to their kids in the back seat and putting on make-up/reading.

I also hate those that flick cigarette butts out of windows. I have, thankfully, had the opportunity twice to throw said butts back in someone's car. The look and words that came out of their mouth were more than worth it. Especially as I said "You dropped this"

Bugs me when 2 people are walking on the sidewalk side by side and I'm coming the other way and they never move. My desire is to keep running holding my 'line'. But my conscience takes over and I end up on the street or in the grass.

Re the cigs--you are my HERO!  I have only had the ballz to pick up the butt and tuck it under the windshield wiper, but you are one brazen mofo, and I respect that. I would love some video--please consider GoProing your next cig adventure. 

I also really don't like the two-abreast-fail-to-drop-back pairs.  If I'm in a good mood, I can usually just roll with it, if not, I will often say something, especially if stepping off the sidewalk results in me going into mud, snow, etc.  Somtetimes I'll just stop a few feet in front, and draw the charge.  Bring it.

Furthermore, when two people meet in a hallway or sidewalk in this country, both parties need to move to their right.  Their RIGHT.  If you're in England or Australia, by all means move to the left.

-People who drive 5-10 MPH UNDER the speed limit...........makes me nuts
-Getting interrupted 50 times a day.  Seriously I get interrupted sometimes 5 times in 30 minutes.  I can hardly complete a task without someone asking me something stupid
-Drivers who don't respect crosswalks when I have a big WALK sign....SERIOUSLY?  I am a pedestrian in a crosswalk with a WALK sign I have the right of way.  even without the WALK sign I have the right of way
-People on bikes ( I am not calling them cyclists) Who don't wear helmets, wear black and ride in the dark with no reflectors or lights, who don't follow any rules of the road
-People who show up an hour late for their appt and expect me to bend over backwards for them
-People who think they know more about my profession than I do and come in with a laundry list of demands

the trick to being able to hold your line is to pretend you are not paying attention. seriously. they see you. if they know you see them, they won't move, but if you pretend to be day dreaming looking around, they move. apparently, they have a right to be in your space and are willing to fight you if you see them, but if you "don't" see them, then they are not willing to risk the impact.

I went into the pool area (as this was a pool swim) and got body marked. That's when it hit me that I was there to race - this was not a clinic.
