Who have you p***ed off today?
Discussion
Who have you upset today when they were in the wrong and you were in the right?
Today, on my commute to work, I seemingly upset a woman coming towards me because I had the "cheek" to continue along my side of the road when she had decided to come onto my side of the road to go around a parked car. This prompted a great deal of headlight flashing and hand gestures from her, when she had to reverse to go back into the space behind said parked car.
I like it when people get upset over these kinds of things, it amuses me how self-obsessed they must be not to recognise their own wrongdoings.

Only my 4 year old.
I committed the heinous crime of putting one of his socks on inside out, resulting in absolute bedlam.
My sister-in-law has a book called "Why is my toddler crying?" which is full of such tales, someone gave it to her soon after the birth of my nephew. Rather entertaining to me (as a non-parent) but also SiL is glad she is not the only one putting up with such outburstsI committed the heinous crime of putting one of his socks on inside out, resulting in absolute bedlam.

I read the instructions on the screen (of a game) to my son, who clearly hadn't.
mine did this all the time, then kept asking me why certain things happened and others not. shall i read the info in the popups on the screen then?i obviously pissed off the 12 / 13 year old kid on a bike this morning who whilst riding towards me on the pavement on his way to school, decided that despite the fact i had moved to my right, closer to the wall on my right, he would try and go between me and the wall, i did it 30' feet from him, and left him 5' of pavement to my left, but no he ploughs into me anyway.
bloody hand is still hurting where it hit his handlebars.

Possibly the lady in the BMW 1 series, who drove for three miles along an NSL at between 35 and 38. I made the international sign of 'go faster' to which she took great offence.
That might have pissed her off I suppose. A good driver would have overtaken, or at back and waited. A recruitment cold caller, who when he asked me "how are you today" got the reply "st, my dog died this morning!"
In his defence he wasn't to know that he was the 3rd cold caller this morning to ask me the same inane question when I picked up my phone, but it doesn't excuse starting a call with a question that he has no fking interest in hearing the answer to.
Anyway, it interrupted his script a bit and he stammered a couple of times before saying "I'm really sorry to hear that". To which I abruptly answered "no you're not, why would you be, you don't know me, you don't know that I haven't even got a dog and I'm just being bloody awkward. Just introduce yourself and get to the bloody point in future."
At which point he put the phone down.
I may have got out of bed on the wrong side this morning.

I appear to have miraculously managed to ps off the wife without actually doing anything including interact with her or even spend more than ten mintues in her company ... although it's possible that merely continuing to breathe in and out would have been sufficient to achieve this Must check if it's the full moon already
