Me: Anger

I feel I have an issue with anger. In group therapy we had to "identify" our emotions and differentiate between them all such as the difference between anger and disgust. I had a love/hate relationship with group (DBT). Individual proved far more successful, though expensive.

Things that anger me:
• Austin Community College presents ads that display, "i am acc."
They are an educational facility, this should not be an issue.
• People that tell all their sexual exploits for attention
• Laziness
• The "victimized"
• Ignorant people
• Deceitful charmers
• The term "African American." You can have ancestry that is dark-skinned without having African ancestry. Rihanna is "black" and her heritage is not from Africa, I believe it's Barbados. While they may have originated in Africa, I would then say that we are all African-something. I self-identify as "white" and while I'm not literally white, black people are not literally black. They are colloquial terms and though I despise many colloquial terms (ain't, y'all, fixin', etc.), I feel these terms are perfectly appropriate.
• People who say "Eat a cheeseburger." Mind your own damn business, some people's bodies don't process food exactly the same way or process it the same way.
• On that note, the opposite is the same: obesity. Overweight people annoy-anger me. I once served a couple who ordered a Coke instead of tipping me while she obviously had Diabetes as she rolled in with her wheelchair and barely fit in it. Don't eat out if you can't afford to tip at least 15% of what you are getting or even let them know that if they don't ring up the sodas (which are hard to account for), then the server might receive that money for a tip. General rule: 15% for eh service, 20% for good, 25% for great and anything above that for amazing service. Tip on tips: if you are hitting on your server, be sure to tip $5 minimum and 50%-100% to impress her. Really, guys? Tipping $2 and being 30 years older? Come on, now...
• Those who skirt responsibility and avoid communication
• Passing the buck
• Excuses
• When a patron doesn't say thank you or tip at least 15%
• Religious ignorance
• Sports fanatics
• Those who don't clap for everyone at karaoke
• People who are overly confident or not confident at all
• Attention whores
• Sexually inappropriate guys...and girls
• Obvious manipulation
