Hey CIRCLES....another height challenged person here.....Oh it is so frustrating and why oh why are the most needed/used products always placed on the very top shelf-----ARRRGGHHH!!!!  I did encournter a very nice tall gentlemen that offered to assist, he said his wife married him for his tallness---LOL!!!  I thanked him whole heartedly for his assistance.......What I usually do is going to the Household/Cleaning aisle and grab a broom and knock things off along with the item I need and just leave the mess there along with the broom----I want to have business cards made up that  I could also leave that said, "short person's revenge, next time put it on a reachable shelf".....LOL!!!

One thing that really frustrates me is lack of consideration of others---people that cut in line, or if you have an appointment (doctor, hair stylist, dentist etc) and think they should be able to go ahead of you because they are a legend in their own mind.  OR people that block the aisle not because they are shopping and the aisle is crowded, nope....people that make the whole world STOP so they can talk or text on their phone!!!!  Move aside or go to an aisle where no one is to play on your phone---SHEESH!!! 

Same thing with escalators/elevators that someone mentioned....they stop at the bottom and don't move and create a pile up behind them because they have to chat on their phone.....and what are they saying....oh Im not doing anything just thought I'd check in....can you please get off the escalator/elevator and move off to the side so the rest of us can move on without being trampled....People just cant live life for a second without their phones, they've become adult pacificers!!!

I agree with this 100%. Things that used to do that I took for granted I either can't do any more or it's a lot harder to do them.

Another thing that frustrates me is when people don't listen to what I have to say. I' ll be asked something & have to repeat what I say multiple times because the person who asked me the question isn't paying attention to what I'm saying. If you don't want to listen to what I have to say, don't waste my time asking me anything.

My sister is like that with me and her friends she doesnt listen to what we are saying or just totally interrupts while someone is telling a story...(she has her mind on work or other things she has to do)......her friends are pretty good about putting her in her place---LOL!!!!

@Spurt: Oh, my! Don't even get me started-- weeding through all the muck sometimes feels like a full-time job!

What frustrates me most is selfishness, insensitivity, lack of empathy, people who take and don't give, lack of tact.  

What frustrates me most about myself right now is the fact that I don't have the energy and motivation that I used to have.

This reminds me of something that happened yesterday. I was in a high (foot) traffic tourist area and a young teen girl pushed me to get around me in a hurry, miscalculated slower, dense "traffic" in front of me, stumbled, and I stepped on her. She gave me this look of shock that I stepped on her (accidentally). I wanted to say, that's what can happen if you choose to just push/shove someone out of your way. You might want to think about that next time. If I had she would probably have flipped me off.

@QualityGa

Love your signature line: "Anything can be fixed with a dog's kiss." I told my DH the other day that maybe what I need is another dog to welcome me home from work to ease my stress and frustration. Our dog passed away in June, and we haven't adopted a new one yet.

At my grocery store, even taller people can't reach the back.  So I reach under the shelf, and finger shoot things forward to the front of the shelf so I can get it, or for my husband to get it.
