This sounds just like me; I allow irritation and anger to overtake me and I'm often horrified later because I've been so grumpy and impatient with people I don't even know. I found a mantra for myself that works a little in those situations, "everyone is just trying to get through the day." How honest you are Wendy.

Therefore, you don't qualify. :) I think it only qualifies as pond scum if you don’t realize what you’ve done after it’s been pointed out to you. Therefore, you don’t qualify. :)

It gives me time to reflect on the reality we seldom have all of the information we need to understand the actions of others. But you know...you have to let go of this resistance to the "rules and hoops." Although all of that stuff can be really frustrating, you cannot let it define your day. Remember, it is only you that can let that stuff spoil your day and being angry about it seldom makes it any better. The deep breath thing works good for me.

I do crap like that all the time. I have a big huge foot hanging off my chin at any given moment. No need to kneel on grits for that one, embrace the pond scum within;) Oh, Wendy, how funny!
