#2 When there are no cars coming the other way at a stop light.

I have a feeling that stop lights are going to be a major theme here, because when you get right down to it, stop lights are easily in the top ten of all-time irritating objects.

And probably the most irritating thing about these colossally irritating devices is when you have to sit at them for no reason at all.

There you are, obeying the law.  Idling your car, wasting gas.  The light is red.  You can’t go.  But there is no one coming in either direction! No one!  There’s not even anyone in sight to the left or the right.  You could easily drive through the light — or worse, make a left turn — but noooooo!  You have to sit there.  Chillin’ like a villian.  Burning gas and burning precious minutes of your life.  Waiting.  Waaaaaiting.  Until finally some bureaucrat who set the lousy timing on the light finally deigns to let you drive through a completely empty intersection.

Man, that bugs me.

#1: When people have genius ideas before me

Then you google it and see that someone already did it.

Isn’t that the way it always works?  There simply isn’t any way you can think of an idea that someone hasn’t already thought of.  Not possible.  No idea you could possibly have isn’t already done by someone.

But I am, as you can see, undeterred.

Man, that bugs me.
