I try not to sweat the small stuff and let things get to me too much....

There is so much more going on in my life than taking time to complain about every little thing...:(

My son will complain about one thing or another, and then gets annoyed at me when I tell him that things could be so much worse...he has a roof over his head, and food on the table, and a job, and a car, and his health.....and on and on....

I try to practice 'gratitude'...being thankful for what I have, good or bad, and knowing that things could always be much worse...

BUT, if I had to choose something......

I would say that people talking VERY LOUDLY on their cell phones, practically right in my ear, bothers me a bit...

Thanks for listening to my little 'lecture', and have a nice day!!!...

WTF are you trying to say???

So it irritates you that people participate more than others?

Psh...........

DUDE........... Same thing happens to me..........

I can't STAND that. We are an 'S' Corp., and we pay ourselves a taxable payroll salary no matter what. It's a moderate salary too. I'm shocked at the number of people who think that if you own a successfull business that you are rich. Like you get to keep all the money. lol

I make sacrifices to have my car and play with it. More so than some others would be willing to. But that's my choice. My kids are taken care of, my savings is in place, and I spend much of my disposable income on my car.

Most of those people who say that could afford a car like mine too. But they spend their money elsewhere. Which is fine, but I make about an average middle income salary.

My biggest pet peeve is when someone who comes off as an expert chimes in with a comment that 20 seconds with Google will prove wrong. I will only comment on something if I KNOW I'm right. It doesn't bother me that they're wrong, so much that someone who doesn't know any better will think they're right, and the bad information could end up causing harm somehow.

Judging by my significantly larger post count, I am a much more important camaro god than you. I disapprove of your disapproval. Please remove it immediately.

I used a Google search to determine that post-count = godliness therefore I retract my prior disapproval. I also agree that PQ is irritating because he participates more, but he is more camaro-godly. Spring, TX is the home of Satan, seriously- google it.
