Mild and Insignificant Annoyances

"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses."

Either way, you can.  Choose.  I am the embodiment of both pessimism and optimism in all their glory.  I praise the good Lord constantly for the blessings in my life.  I relish in the guiltless freedom to complain about meaningless annoyances throughout my day.  Let's review two of these from today.

Annoyance #1: People who follow lame rules only because they are rules.  Yes, I fault you for complying to some of society's simple rules (a few may be known as "laws" by some... details!).  An example of this is something I experience every day on my commute home.  Those annoying on-ramp stoplights should be turned off to save energy and money for the city.  Instead, it serves the purpose to make me wait in a line to wait in rush hour traffic.  I especially love the car who will wait patiently for the light to change all by themselves.  Dear Useless Light, I fart in your general direction as I drive through your redness.

Annoyance #2: People who forget to wear deodorant.  I may be more annoyed with my lack of courage to tell the daily offender about his distracting odor.  Seriously though, how do you not smell yourself Stinky Man?!  (http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2010/11/18/memo-to-all-employees/)

Embrace these little annoyances.  Allow yourself to get pissed off at pointless stupid things occassionally.  Perpetual optimism can get boring.
