When drivers don't use a blinker. And if the blinker is not working, don't use a hand signal.
UGH.

I apologize to my husband and explain to him why I reacted that way and make amends.He has done the same and has explained he was symptomatic and why.I don't say it's my PTSD all the time for every little thing,I only do when it really is.Neither does he.

That's way different than those that never make amends,never apologize,never explain and expect everyone to overlook everything they say and do.And if called out on their behavior they say something like "well you KNOW I have [insert illness here]" And they never work on changing their behavior,they never seek help,and they don't really care who they are upsetting or hurting by what they say or do.

Totally agree with you. I once knew someone in college who used her disability to get other people to do things for her. It drove me crazy. I always stood my geound. People who use their disability or illness as an excuse or to use others are the worst.

Okay, this one can also fall under "Why?" and "Rant"....

Why do people not recycle? Are they that lazy that they can't reach over one foot from the garbage bin to the the side-by-side recycling bin? Honestly, the two bins are practically one top of one another. Is it that hard to maintain two separate bags of refuse in the house? Honestly, this peeves me to no end.

Oh, and a note to the dumpster divers; for the love of Pete at least put back the items you dug through to get to the bottom. I hate having to chase down fly-away paper, boxes, and plastic each morning.
