Manic Monday

What, more than anything, makes you angry?

Lots and lots of things. I tend to get, uhm, passionate about several things every week. Probably the one that sets me off fastest with the biggest growth potential (all the way to "seeing red") is being ignored/patronized/condescended to/disrespected.

I understand why it sets me off: as the youngest of 5 kids, I'm used to getting treated like an infant. Being female tends to bring out the condescension from some men. Having a kid the age of mine also means he can be extraordinarily rude and pissy which sets me off.

Then again, I know I have a predisposition toward anger. Early teaching, family background, etc.
