Ugh, I am behind in blogging - I'll do the Friday 5 today and then catch up on life tomorrow.

1. What’s something people do in public that really annoys you, even though it’s probably not a big deal?

Too many to name. I hate it when I park and someone parks right next to me while I am getting out of the car when there are millions of other parking places around me. I hate it when people cut in line. I just genuinely hate it when I see people being inconsiderate toward other people.

2. How readily do you ask strangers to stop their annoying behavior?

Never. I don't think I've really ever actually gone up to someone and asked them to stop doing something. I may give them a look but rarely ever confront them. The only thing I can think of is asking someone to quit kicking my chair in a theatre.

3. What’s something you do in public that probably annoys others?

I like to stand back in the line at the grocery store and wait for the person in front of me to be done before I start moving up in the check out line. I don't like to crowd them. I'm sure that annoys people behind me who want me to start unloading my cart and hurry up.

4. What’s your theory about why it’s so easy to get annoyed when one is behind the wheel of a vehicle?

I think it is easy to get annoyed if you are familiar with your surroundings and have a clear path to your destination.

5. What regular, minor annoyance have you learned to tolerate?

Negativity. I have worked with and actually been friends with enough people that have negative attitudes that I have developed a level of tolerance for it.

Thanks for playing, and may your weekend be completely annoyance-free!
