Things I'm also guilty of but are still annoying

I'm not innocent on all counts. I have a very low stupidity tolerance but I have a very high capacity for being stupid. So, just to prove I'm not completely ignorant of the things that I do that probably annoy the hell of other people I figured I'd write about a few of them.

I am a terrible tailgater. I get a little too impatient when i'm behind someone who wants to go slower than I want to go. I HATE when people do this to me. I sit there in my car and talk to the car that is up my bumper saying things like, "The closer you get the slower I go". So, I know it's annoying! And I apologize to those I've done this to. I'm working on breaking the habit.

I get snippy with people who don't deserve it. I know EVERYONE does this. There's not a person in the world who's never taken a bad day out on someone who had nothing to do with it. But, as someone who is constantly being the one who things are taken out on, I know how bad it is. It sucks to sit there and think, "okay? So what exactly did I do again?" But especially on early mornings, busy/ stressful days, or days when I haven't eaten I can get quite irritable and bite the head off of anyone who decides to speak to me.

And finally, I am sometimes a little too rude. Don't get me wrong, I am one of the most polite people you'd ever want to meet. Usually, I'm too nice for my own good. But, if I've dealt with too many rude people in a day, I tend to turn into one of them. For example, if I've spent a few hours at a concert getting pushed into complete strangers by people who weren't there early enough to get closer to the stage and then decide to push their way through the crowd, I will refuse to move out of their way until I hear and "Excuse me". And if my friend and I decide to move through the crowd, I will stop saying my own "excuse me"s. Why bother when no one else does? Same with the whole holding the door for people situation. If no one holds it for me all day long, I stop trying to hold it for other people. I know it's not the fault of the people I end up being rude to. It's just a little difficult to keep your manners about you sometimes,
