Getting irritated about little stuff

[Dzone]

Its not worth how it makes you feel in the long and short run. But I am as guilty of it as anyone. I caught myself tonight going nuclear over a messed up chicken order at a restaurant drive thru tonight. It took me 30 minutes to turn around and drive back over there. I didnt yell, I didnt cuss, but I demanded to talk to a manager and I was fuming. "This was such a sloppy order. Someone here is not doing their job! GJust give me my money back!" I mean to tell you, I could feel my insides just boiling. LOL Now that Im home, I am relaxed and thinking how pointless it was to let something so totally trivial get my goat and send the aging hormones into overdrive. All that cortisol eating away at muscle, not to mention killing brain cells and whatever else. Hopefully I will remember this next time I feel my blood starting to boil.

except you could have saved some muscle from the cortisol and some brain cells if you did not wait 30 mins.

haha I figured I lost a good 60 minutes of happiness from the boil up all the way to the cool back down to my awesome state again... The next time this happens, then I will give the food away and drive home eating an old mushy apple

Lmao !!!! That shit happens to me too bro !!!
Little things get me so fuckin mad that I have to sit back and just breath !!! How long does Tren stay in the system lol !!!
But when I think about those times and how stupid it is , I just laugh man !!!
We , u like others , have a hormonal overload which gives us the right to act this way !!!

I understand that I catch myself doing same thing when.het mad and waste a entire day mad. Now I try and catch myself and take a 5-10 min cool down break so I don't waste a minute or any of my day angry

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

it is so hard to let a small fit of incompetence go. as long as it does not directly effect me I try to drop it and not think about it. it is the right thing to do IMP but SO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

The shitty thing, is that we ended Friday on a fantastic note at work. I left work feeling on top of the world, I was so excited to start a fantastic weekend on such a high note. Then I let this incident derail me and it really took me a while to get my mood up again after I let myself go down that emotional rathole...The older I get the more I realize the importance of EMOTIONAL CONTROL

Sounds right to me. I feel when we react like this, it is something going on in "us" ,not who or what we are reacting to.

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

idk dude. seems like your putting too much thought into it. if it aint right go fix it if its bothering you. By responding to this thread i was jinxed. Last night I was on a "on the couch netflix" date with a girl ive been seeing and we ordered take out. I ordered wings and a chicken sandwich. picked it up brought it home, it was a wrap instead of a sandwich and they got all ingredients wrong and forgot my dipping sauce. I called told them whats up and that i was on my way back. Manager replaced my entire order and more wings, kept my original order so even more food, got extra dipping sauce and the manager me $10 gift certificate. I made a choice that this was not okay and did what i needed to do to make it okay. When I got the correct order and discovered the chicken in the sandwich was freezer burned then overcooked i made decision fuck it. not worth it to go back a second time and that was okay with me. For me face-to-face, eye-to-eye, in real life is where i get satisfactory interactions. its when people are hidden behind technology is when my blood boils. I guess I am learning something new, social technology emotional control.

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

I catch myself doing the same thing sometimes. I'll be having a great day, then someone does something stupid, or messes something up and then I'm pissed. I think what irritates me so much at the small things is that it's something that should be so simple... I ordered my sandwich with no lettuce, they repeat at the window "no lettuce", leave the lettuce off.... Very simple, very easy, just don' t put lettuce on it. Then, I get it and there's lettuce. Infuriates me.

At the small things, I usually just try to take a deep breath, calm down and let it go. Hard to do sometimes, but I try lol.

i have trouble not getting pissed at things like this. these people are being paid a wage, to do a job. if you're going to do such a shitty job that i lose my shit over it, your boss needs to know it is affecting their bottom line. i've gone back in the restaurant after getting order in drive through, unwrapping the sandwich and saying does this look a plain hamburger to you? it's got mustard, ketchup, onions and fucking cheese on it!! My 7 year old son is going to see this and not eat. Then slammed the milkshake on the counter and tore the top off and said that look like chocolate to you Einstein??? when does a chocolate shake look white?
on a side note i also get really crotchety when the $15/hr pimple faced deli kid can't tell what a third of a pound is.

Re: Getting irritated about little stuff

guys come on..noone is perfect. Certainly not worth raising your blood pressure over. this is the problem with this world today, imo, everyone in a God damn hurry and thinking they are infallible. I think we can all say we get irritated at sometime or another but Dzone, the fact that you recognize that is it really wort it? that, to me, is some good wareness

I deal with the same issue. I blow up over stupid crap. My wife got to a point ready to leave me over it. So I have been working over the past few years to keep it under check and try and shift my mind to something else. But I feel ya man. Crazy thing is we end up just doing harm to our bodies as you said, crank up that cortisol.
