Step Back

Sometimes the most irritating things are the small details. The person next to you making an annoying noise or the look someone shot when they turned around. I'm sure most people don't mean to try to push a button, but sometimes it comes off like that. The answer is not to go kick a wall in frustration or lose it on everybody, though I think I've done both. Step Back. It's fine.

When I was little my parents would start counting when incidents started to push them over the edge. After awhile I concluded the longer they had to count, the faster they counted, or the higher they started, the angrier they were. Going from 1-5 at a casual speed was no big deal, but if they were start up at 5 and continue quickly, I would be braced for the explosion or gone by 13. Maybe I should start this system. Counting out loud sounds a lot more appealing than cracking. Screw Emotions!
