End of June Question #4

I've really loved seeing all your answers to my nosy questions. Next up is mind-probing question #4.


What can cause you to feel almost instantaneously angry?  [I'm in trouble if you say, "People asking me dumb questions!"]

Septembermom says: Hearing about a case of child abuse on the news.

Adam says: I don't like it when they'll say something on the news, say a robbery or some crime, basically proving it with video, eyewitness reports, etc. then CLOSE it out by saying "...allegedly". Like what was the whole point of that report if you aren't going to vouch for it?

Auntie M says: Ah, it seems today there are so many things, many of them petty.
I'll nod to Septembermom, child abuse.

Jill says: when people underestimate or dismiss my kids.
  
Winston Smith says: Politicians!  Duh!

Anonymous says: .... m i l ..... :) enough said

My answer: I'll agree with a lot of the others--anything that involves abuse or injustice toward children.  

I also have a couple of petty things that make me angry.

1. When I feel like things in my surroundings are becoming disorganized or cluttered I can only put up with it for so long, then I snap. Anger seems to come out of nowhere.

2. When I stay up until 2:30 A.M. to finish a romance novel in which the author has taken us on an eleven year journey with the characters, culminating in their first kiss in the last few pages, only to have them both decide they didn't feel anything with that kiss and that they should remain "just friends."
