I’m sure there is something, but at my age, I can’t remember what it is.
Therein within that statement is a definite irritant, and I'm not talking about age.

Right on! For me, if it were not for the pressure, I’d forget that I got up to pee!I’m sure there is something, but at my age, I can’t remember what it is.
I've heard that joke all my life,,,One liberating thing about getting older is that the threat of a “life sentence“ has much less weight…..
When dealing with people near or at my own age,,,How shall I say this?? Use my grown-up voice. And life has taught me to use my bartender vernacular.
Wife has been trying gluten free for a couple years… I decided gluten is a French word for flavor.. flavor free sucks.celiac disease. 100% gluten free is 100% inconvenient.
When dealing with people near or at my own age,,,
I have a "fierce face" and will use an intimidating vocabulary.
That works way more often than not.
But with young punks the only thing that works is physical force,,,
The more I talk the more fuel it gives them,,,
Again, it's the no consequence thing.
About a year ago two young punks were harassing an elderly lady at Walmart,,,
She wasn't moving down the aisle fast enough for them.
A friend and I were moving towards them to intercept any behavior,,,
But her (I assume) her husband, who had to be in his late 70's,,,
Came around the corner and busted one right in the chops.
It was a good solid shot right on the tip of it's pointy little nose,,,
Blood flew and the look of incredibility on it's face was absolutely perfect.
Walmart security was right there and my friend and I had already called the cops,,,
We told them that the goblin had assaulted (pushed) the old lady,,,
We lied through our teeth about that with no qualms.
He did bump her cart with his,,,
We took that as an assault,,,
We just embellished a bit.
The one kid got taken away, under arrest in handcuffs,,,
The other kid got taken away as well,,,
But wasn't under arrest.
We both gave our info and stated we would be willing to make a formal statement and testify,,,
But we never heard from anyone about it so I assume charges weren't filed.
My point is that the goblin got what he deserved,,,
A busted nose and a bloody face.
That's the only thing that will deter their kind,,,
Not harsh language.

I don’t want for good food. But a lot of the store bought stuff is laughably bad. I miss the convenience of being able to eat anything- but most of my irritation springs from crap like tracking down ingredients on prescription drugs (manufacturers are not required to disclose all the ingredients, and often use wheat as binder/filler) or lip balm or playdough etc. If it’s goes in my or my daughters mouth, I have to know what’s in it.Wife has been trying gluten free for a couple years… I decided gluten is a French word for flavor.. flavor free sucks.
I agree. Im grateful and fortunate to have the life I have. But the thread was about irritation. If the OP made a thread about the hardest/darkest/painiest thing in your life- I suspect responses would get grim.I was just reading back through this thread. We really have easy lives if these are the things that are the "Most Irritating Things" we can think of. I've got a pretty great life.
