The madder they get, the slower he moves.

Sounds like the men that get behind me at a stop light and get right up on my bumper like that ft of space is going to matter when the light turns green

I give them the heads up by adjusting my rear view mirror or I will edge up to the driver ahead of me, but, that will make them want to aggravate me all the more, by, moving up even closer to me.

If I drove a junker car what I'd do is after the light turns green I'd stay sit and let the guy hit my bumper in his hurry, then, I'd call 911 and the cops. LOL

I don't understand why an elderly woman is walking around with $500 bills.  I have to wonder if she is digging into a coin/dollar collection to buy food.  Wouldn't she have gotten more than $500 to sell it to another coin collector?

that seems childish and rude  to me. He is punishing all the people in line behind him. Who knows what the cashier is going through. Everyone has an off day once in awhile. 

Why escalate a situation by behaving in an antagonistic way?

I can't allow myself to live my life terminally upset. These tiny, little irritants have no power over me. When you obsess over them, you make them grow into major issues that rule your life.

Your making the comment that this thread is irritating to you by merely posting in it. Nobody has achieved a true Yoga state when they go out in public.

I don't like my things being rung up before the person ahead of me has taken all their bags off the conveyor and walked away.  

I have said as much to the checker when they do do it.
