What Trivial Matters Bother You?

You know, there are important things to get all worked up about, and then there are the unimportant things. Let’s roll around in the insignificant for a bit. In your life, what wholly inconsequential irritants nonetheless irritate?
Every now and then, I get really bothered by the fact that Grape Nuts cereal contains neither grapes nor nuts. Ooooooo!
So, what embarrassingly trivial matters bother you?

The Ron Paul campaign bothers me.
1)When the weather turns from the sound of lawnmowers on the weekend to the sound of scraping shovels on the weekend, and then suddenly you hear the sound of a small engine. Who can afford a snowblower in this neighborhood? It’s those neighbors across the street with the landscaping trailer on the back of the pickup. And judging by the sound of the language they are speaking on their cellphones, they aren’t part of the “press one for English” crowd. Hey! Who in this neighborhood can afford cellphones? Not the people who TEACH English, that’s for sure.
2)People who shovel just one little section of snow around their car and then put a chair in the street to save their place. I found one chair like that a few houses down and shoveled an area around it the size of a football field. Several more people with shovels started doing the same thing up and down the street, so now there is parking for everyone. I hope that chair freezes to the street.
