I've heard that once you reach a certain age, more things annoy you.

we've got one around here that has a shaved head except for a sprig of hair that is growing up and out like a tiny fountain on top.

Stupidest thing i've seen yet.

First time he walked in got me an HR conversation. ( Once I stopped laughing of course )
I'm betting HR has you on speed dial...

Last time I was down on the Norfolk base, I followed a guy (?) in to the pass office that apparently worked in the building. He was flagrantly openly screamingly over-the-top gay, from his hairdo and makeup to his pretty painted toenails on sandaled feets. I was choking back the laughter and I think he(?) knew it. Should I feel bad?

No but you could have at least introduced yourself. I had no idea it was you. Sorry.

Took my son to the drive through at Wendys yesterday. Greeted at the speaker by an exuberant, overly cheerful voice, who heard number one single and nothing beyond that. The order came to $18.06. Wendys offers a military discount and I typically ask for it as I did yesterday.

Got to the window, cheerful, maybe 18 something year old cashier says $18.06. I showed her my id and she said oh right, military, and gets her manager, comes back and says you need to show your ID to my manager. No problem. Haul it out again. Manager looks, fiddles with the register, and cashier tells me $18.06. I said wait a minute, how come the price with the discount is the same price as it was without the discount. Really not sarcastically, I consciously check myself for that; I was just confused.

And she says, simmer down, simmer down.

So now I'm irritated as crap. I swear to God, you can say almost anything to me and I'll let it blow over mostly. But simmer down, calm down are trigger words to me. Especially if I'm not irritated. Yet.

She gives me the new price I pay. She gives me the food and says she hopes I find God.

At this point, I'm ready to tell her, she's about to find God herself and it won't be pleasant.

I swear I'm this close to yelling at kids on my lawn.

Well, for ME, I'm out of estrogen, out of patience for the foolishness, and out of f*cks to give for rood-ass people. 💯👍

Anymore, driving irritates me. I cuss and swear and call people names...I am so tired of people on cell phones, texting, tailgaters and rude drivers in general. I am a safe driver and had both a B and then A CDL for many years. I try to go with the flow of traffic. Had two tailgaters recently and I kept a couple car lengths away from the vehicle ahead of me. There was no place to go any faster than I was going and I refuse to ride someone's a$$ because of some impatient a$$hole behind me. I have grown to hate driving.

My other irritation is having a waitress refer to me and my girlfriend's as "you guys". Having grown up in New York state, everyone refers to you as "you guys" but I hate it nonetheless. Two lovely British ladies and I took a friend to lunch at Olive Garden for her Birthday on Tuesday and the waitress repeatedly referred to us as "you guys". You "ladies" would have been more appropriate and would have gotten her a better tip! My two English friends are in their 70's and were dressed nicely. My friend celebrated turning 67 and I am right behind her in the age department. "You guys" grrrr!

I assume, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but sexual preference and to an extent gender identity have nothing to do with hair, make-up, or mannerisms. If this guy was putting on a display it was because he wanted to provoke a reaction, so you're response is appropriate.

You should have referred to her with something else, just as annoying. Dude, dudette, baby-girl, etc...
