LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR DAY?

CloseI don't know why I am writing this topic because I'm in a pretty chipper mood this morning.
Anyway, what little things irk you guys when they occur? We're talking things that are enough to put a damper on your day, at least for a little while.
For me one thing that will ruin my mood is when I'm walking home from work and am crossing a crosswalk when I have the right away. Every now and then there will be some ass in a car who feels that their need to hurry to get home a whole minute earlier than usual somehow waives them of all right to be an alert and cautious driver who follows the rules of the road. All too often I may have halfway across the crosswalk when a car comes barreling down the street and flies past me honking their horn, missing me by perhaps a foot or two... but only because I'm smart enough to STOP when I know the car is coming. There are a few situations where, if I had headphones on or something, these idiots would have hit me. It makes me feel like dragging these people out of their cars and pointing up at the signal lights saying, "See that green little man that is lit up? And how everyone else in the adjacent lanes have stopped? That means it is MY turn to go, asshole." People who do this stick in my mind for the entire walk home and I'm sour about it when it occurs for a good 5-10 minutes afterwards.
Another thing is living only a few buildings down the street from a bar. I get up early every single morning, so you can only imagine how irate I probably get some nights when I'm trying to sleep and I hear drunks outside getting riled up over who knows what.
Dropping my coffee when I'm walking home or to work is always pretty awful too. It's basically $2 lost because I wasn't gripping the cup enough. I usually just sigh and walk away when this happens though, but it will grate on my nerves if I had a bad day.
How about you guys?

In here it's much, much worse. Even if there's a green light, the cars are IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK. -_-
Well, one thing that irritates me is that people who don't try when they're playing sports. I really don't mind schoolmates/strangers joining in, and I don't mind if they're not good at it; I can teach them. Problem is when I'm patient enough to do it, they don't run, stare at the incoming ball or they just avoid the ball like it's gonna kill them. Every goddamn time. I don't spike, and all of my serves are underhands. So it really ruins my mood if they act like that. :|

Car alarms.
People have conditioned themselves to ignore it as a false alarm. Stupid thing will go off for 15 minutes, and all anybody will think is "$#@$#ing neighbour's car! If you can't turn it off, rip it out!! #$@#$@ #$#@$!!!"
Of course, people still leave them enabled anyway, and they go off while they're shopping for that week's groceries.

The idiot at my work who thinks that every bug he encounters is my fault even when it's not even a bug in something that I worked on!
IDIOT: "This part doesn't work... Why? You should test your things better."
ME: "I didn't code that part."
IDIOT: "Yeah but when the user uses our software there shouldn't be any bugs. It's supposed to work."
ME: "I didn't make that part. It was someone else."
IDIOT: "No but it's supposed to work."
Thankfully, I handed in my resignation TODAY! YEEEAH!

I get really annoyed when people try to get on the subway as soon as it pulls into the station without letting everyone off first.
I also can't stand street kids asking me for money.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Waking up counts, right?
Fuck that noise. It is totally the worst thing.

When I am on my Dad's computer, and someone bursts out when I'm using one of my secret programs, and I think it's my parents, and it ends up being my older brother trying to show me a picture of his, or my Nana doing clothes. I get all scared and close out of the program, until I see it was a false alarm. And that's why I also hate games that you can't get out of without this really advanced procedure of using the CTRL+ALT+Delete keys THEN having to close out.
Annoying.

Imbecile classmates who question my life/ask if I have lost it yet/ask why don't I use fecesbook or twitter/act like dumbasses anyway.

Secret programs? :?| If you have to use the Task Manager to exit out of programs, could that reflect on your computer's speed?
@WhiteLion I get those occasionally. They suck miserably. I can barely talk or eat without it stinging. :( When I was younger, I used to get them a lot more frequently because of my toothpaste(?), which really doesn't make sense.
Fireworks. Only when I am trying to sleep, from late June to about the 10th of July EVERY year, there are plenty of fireworks keeping me up. Usually I go around and take a look, by like 12 most of the good one's stop, and all there is a lot of drunk people making the noisy one's go off.

I forgot People Who Interrupt. I'm easy to shout over because I've never been one to raise my voice. I run into a hell of a lot of irritation when trying to interact with one of those extreme extroverts who absolutely must hear the sound of their own voice 9 out of every 10 seconds.
Protip : Alt+F4 closes just about everything instantly.

I am also similar to Dyhalto in that aspect. Normally, I don't talk as much as other people, and if I do, I am about 1/4 times heard.

Secret programs? :?|
Yes, my parents don't know about me getting VX and 2K3 on my dad's PC, and they will never know if I want to stay on here. They told me no downloading, and they allowed me to get SMBX only. But I get bored after a while, and being a developer, to me it only makes sense to make other games then the same type game over and over. As long as my dad's computer doesn't get a virus(and it shouldn't because I got them from 2DRPG and here) or crashes, I should be fine.
Ugh.. i know EXACTLY what ruins my day. '-'
1. Other artists who are tablet/laptop hogs. 2. Finding army worms on the ground. And 3. having your childhood friend flirt w/ your best friend..
1 - This guy at my work drew 7 pictures on my laptop today... he srsly made it overheat and crash, and erased my brush presets! and when he asked if he could "try out" my tablet, he drew a sketch then actually started lining it little by little. i only got to use my tablet for 30 minutes out of 8 hours today... >__> this guy is rly a great artist with a tablet and his own laptop, so i was kinda thinking wtf... .-.
2 - i'm rly scared of army worms lol... if i see a big, hairy one, i practically have a heart-attack... ><
3 - i have an old friend and he's a nice, gullible, slow-to-get-jokes kinda guy. i found out he was awkwardly hitting on my best friend at a grocery store. :/

You're not afraid your father won't simply run across RPG Maker? I mean, I doubt you have a shortcut on the desktop, or anything equally obvious, but it seems to me that not being straightforward with what you've put on his computer could come back to haunt you later on.
That's just a feeling, though.

Unexpected bills. Especially in the last nine months saving up for my wife's maternity leave. I know it's a part of life and all, but we don't make a lot of money and any extra income we bring in comes from the freelance work I do on the side. The task of making sure we have enough money to live has been all mine and things like the cat having to go to the vet or needing to get my laptop repaired will just ruin my day. It just makes me think "there goes another month of work down the drain."
Other then that...reading the news can suck sometimes.

pyro: press alt+F4 to immediately close any program. USEFUL INFO
That said if you close a window just as your parents come in they are going to assume it was porn. So if it's something that's not as bad as porn, you should probably just leave it open and explain it.
