I get irrationally angry when I get hit with minor consequences for my screw-ups. For example, I'm three minutes late to move my car and I get a ticket. I know other people get annoyed in these circumstances but I take it to a whole other level. I feel like the law wastes no time punishing my every tiny infraction while other people seem to have free rein to treat me however they want, penalty-free. I know the meter people are not police officers and I understand police officers are not omniscient and cannot see through closed doors, but I wonder where the law enforcement is when someone's getting hurt....handing out minor violation tickets?

I just feel like I don't get a free pass...if I screw up I face the natural consequences of my actions. I can't help but feel it's not the same for other people. The stories in this forum are proof that one CAN assault, batter, and rape other people, get away with it, and enjoy their life. But g-d forbid I exceed the damn meter!

I know it's all in my head. We all get hit with parking tickets...a lot of the time it's a matter of luck. But I take all the times I do get screwed and extrapolate that to some cosmic view in which everyone else gets a free pass and I get screwed.

I'd like to add than I'm not an angry person and I don't have anger management problems. I'm just wondering if anyone else has the experience of feeling triggered by these seemingly irrelevant slights?

I like your last paragraph, immensely!!! Being one to write out my own vents.

I wouldn't say my misfortune runs with the meter maids, albeit one Saturday parking, when I thought it was only Monday-Friday, when unfamiliar with where I was. I get irrationally angry when... I was right there, but such was the universe, that day. Some days, it does feel like some are getting an easier journey in this life.

Consider your post well heard, even if I cannot think of a specific, non child related, example,

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
