Re: Life's Irritations
For me the major irritation of my life, even now, is the fact that no matter what I do jobwise, I always, ALWAYS get stuck with people to work with or alongside who obviously do not like to working for a living!I ended up redoing most of what I ask them to do, despite careful, explicit instruction, yet it often seems that everyone else thinks that they are wonderful!
For example, you ask someone to do a job that you know without a shadow of a doubt should take them 2 hours to do it properly and, 15 mins later they come back and say "What's next?"

Re: Life's Irritations
Think I may have mentioned this before, but it does not hurt to say it again. On public transport buses, the first seat immediately to the right of the door is always dedicated as being for pensioners it has a large notice on the side of the bus stating this fact, usually something like 'this seat is reserved for pensioners/disabled'. So it really gets my goat when having stood for ten/fifteen minutes waiting for the bus, and having back/leg problems which make standing still for more than a minute or two quite painful, I flash my pass, turn to sit, and find the seat occupied by young (well younger than me lol)people. And they ignore you! Mutter away, glare at the sign, makes no odds, they continue to sit. And I know I could ask them politely to move, but it is way too embarrassing. I truly think that the drivers should be told by their employers that it is their job to ensure that those seats are not occupied by those who do not qualify. And before someone jumps down my throat and says that maybe the person has some 'invisible' disability, then if they have they would have a pass, and therefore the driver would let them be, but no pass and he should tell them to move. If this was a rule then we would know that the person occupying the seat had a disability pass.

Re: Life's Irritations
That's like seeing able-bodied folks with no permit displayed on their dashboard park in spots clearly marked as reserved for the handicapped. I walk with a cane and I've never bothered to get a permit as my doc suggests walking regularly for exercise anyway. I don't care if I park further from a store. I'd like to think someone more in need will take the spot.I did ask for a seat on the bus once because I was so fatigued and dizzy. Not only did the person I asked immediately stand up, but so did two others, all offering. That was kind.

Re: Life's Irritations
Once I gave in and started to use the cane for safety's sake I noticed people treated me with a bit more consideration. I was embarrassed at first because I don't like a fuss. Cashier at the coffee shop offered to carry my mug to a table for me, that sort of thing. I try to manage on my own but it does restore one's faith in human nature, doesn't it?
