Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

At the moment - my landlord! An owner inspection is only supposed to happen once a year but this one wants to come to all of them! She also said that we wouldn't have to vacate at the end of our lease but we are due out Easter Saturday! Well, once good thing about it, by vacating, we won't have to put up with her anymore. On a downside, we don't have the money to move.

Another thing that gets me is people driving significantly below the speed limit - doing 30 in a 60 or 70 zone.

Yep, you can out crude dress in there too. A young lady is so much more attractive to the right sort of people if she dresses with some modesty. Also, wearing offensive language on clothes is so unnecessary.

Trail bike riders that are driving illegally when we are trying to sleep.

Garbage trucks coming before 7 am.

The price of fuel

Media that recycle to death old topics without much, if anything new to say or not covering them in more depth. Most of the time, the story tells you next to nothing. Good journalism seems rare these days.

People who park in disabled spots who don't have a permit and people who think you don't have a disability unless you are in a wheelchair.

The unhealthy way food is made when there are good alternatives available.

The expense of gluten free foods which is unnecessarily inflated.

Drivers that cut you off and pedestrians that just step out in front of you.

Things not being made to last.
