What bothers you and why? – Not a positive question to start the day off with from the daily writing prompt.

On a good day, not much bothers me. I hope to have a lot of good days in the future. Spending time on things that bother me takes my focus away from things I love and cherish.

But off the top of my head, early this morning the following thoughts bother me.

  • Liars – It seems not to bother many, but it does me. Truth matters.
  • Stubbing my toe on a chair leg. Pain obviously.
  • People who lack compassion, respect, manners, empathy. If you need a why you may be one.
  • Cable companies – need I say more.
  • War – needless, senseless death.
  • That I haven’t always used time wisely. Time is finite.
  • Bird crap on the car I just washed. Like I said I just washed it.
  • People who look down on others. Most of them don’t realize they are too small to do that.
  • Getting more forget full. I forgot why.
  • Bad drivers – because they kill, injure and maim people needlessly.
  • Not having enough wall space for the photos, I take. I guess I make too many prints.
  • Selfishness and greed – because it’s ugly and causes suffering.

I could have gone on about the dictator and his clown show but that is another post for another day.

What bothers you and why? – Here I am trying to start the week out on a positive note and this Daily writing prompt question is leading me the other way.

Holy crap, asking this on a Monday morning? My replies are sometimes too long-winded and I could go on about this one but I’m trying to take a better direction and not live in the world of bother, but fun.

So here are the Top 10 serious ones with short justifications.

  1. Dangerous drivers – They are arrogant and don’t respect human life.
  2. Selfishness and greed – It causes lots of pain.
  3. Predidjous – We are all human beings and all flawed in some ways but all deserve to be treated with respect.
  4. Senseless violence – Need I say more?
  5. Arrogance – It’s just so unbecoming of people.
  6. Dishonesty – Lose trust, lose respect.
  7. Lack of respect for your environment – I guess this could fall under the category of selfishness but it’s another level.
  8. Winter – I don’t like being cold.
  9. Making mistakes – I just don’t like screwing up at anything.
  10. When I don’t finish what I started. – Because when I finish, I feel much better.
