What is one inconsequential thing that irks you, almost to the point of madness, that shouldn't?

This is a real question, but also a game, in that I challenge you to pick just one thing. For me, especially yesterday, I noticed a whole laundry list of minor, but annoying things, but there was this one thing that happened yesterday, that was simply the straw that almost broke this came’ls back.

I was in the grocery store and there was a man in front of me with a cart. He had already unloaded his cart and was standing in front of the cart, rather than in back of it where he should have been so that he could push it through the line.

His cart was between me and the conveyor belt. I had a large, heavy, basket full of items. This dude made no attempt to push his cart in front of him, where it needed to go to get it through the line. Instead, he just left this 5 feet of space in between him and me, so that I could not put my items on the conveyor belt.

There was plenty of room on the conveyor belt for me to put all of my items, as his items had mostly already been checked through, but I couldn’t reach it, because his cart was blocking me. When all of his items were checked through and being bagged up, he moved forward to pay and left the empty cart behind him. I had to put my basket on the ground and move his cart out of the aisle so that I could put my items on the belt and move through the line.

I was fuming, but said nothing. I was afraid that what I might say would have been profanity laced, so I just kept quiet.

A couple of questions, who the h*ll does sh*t like that? What would you have done if this dude was ahead of you in line? And lastly, why did this minor offense make me so boiling mad?

OK, now it’s your turn. Try to pick just one thing, I know it will be hard : )
