Oh, well in that case you're just a cranky old woman. ;)

Oh yeah... I totally know where you are coming from. One of the few things that can set off my temper is when some inanimate object is fighting to be uncooperative with me.

I swear that they do it on purpose.

Funny this should come up now, just after I mini-raged against my closet door coming off the tracks last night. And then there was the self-rage when I couldn’t find the card to the exercise facility. And the missing/misplaced bus pass.

More thoughts to come, I’m sure…

every little setback is a reminder of my limitations and puts me on full anger mode in an instant.

There is only one perfect person with a perfect life, perfect children, and perfect closets in this world and that is moi.

Let that dream die, CP. The position is filled.

You're not alone - We and many others suffer from this too - it's called "Resistentialism"

Yes! Exactly!

Quote:

The concept also appears in the Discworld novels of English author Terry Pratchett... one practical example the author gives is the tendency of garden hoses, no matter how carefully one coils and stores them, to unloop themselves overnight and tie the bicycle to the lawnmower.

I <heart> Terry Pratchett!

I don't get angry at things for resisting me, but for their ability to turn invisible when I'm looking for them exactly where they are.

"Where's the TV remote"
"It's on the coffee table."
"No its not. I'm staring at the coffee table right now and I've torn the living room apart looking for it."
"It's on the coffee table."
"No it's not, why have you hidden the remote you whore of satan?!"
<stomp><stomp><stomp>"Here it is asshole. Right on the coffee table under the blinking neon sign that says 'Hi, I'm the TV remote, please use me.'"
"Oh. You know I was kidding about that whore of satan thing, right?"

HA!

That happened to me just last night.

I got a bit snippier than I needed to be.

The whole calling my husband Whore of Satan was a bit much, I suppose. But I'm relieved I wasn't the only one.

Must stop this.
