One liberating thing about getting older is that the threat of a “life sentence“ has much less weight…..
I've heard that joke all my life,,,
And I always chuckled at the thought.

But in reality, it's not too far out of bounds,,,
At my age I could probably get away with whopping one of the goblins with a cane.

I would just need to let them physically assault me first,,,
And in my physical state that could be a bad thing.

Oh well,,,
Life will continue until the end.

How shall I say this?? Use my grown-up voice. And life has taught me to use my bartender vernacular.
When dealing with people near or at my own age,,,
I have a "fierce face" and will use an intimidating vocabulary.

That works way more often than not.

But with young punks the only thing that works is physical force,,,
The more I talk the more fuel it gives them,,,
Again, it's the no consequence thing.

About a year ago two young punks were harassing an elderly lady at Walmart,,,
She wasn't moving down the aisle fast enough for them.

A friend and I were moving towards them to intercept any behavior,,,
But her (I assume) her husband, who had to be in his late 70's,,,
Came around the corner and busted one right in the chops.

It was a good solid shot right on the tip of it's pointy little nose,,,
Blood flew and the look of incredibility on it's face was absolutely perfect.

Walmart security was right there and my friend and I had already called the cops,,,
We told them that the goblin had assaulted (pushed) the old lady,,,
We lied through our teeth about that with no qualms.

He did bump her cart with his,,,
We took that as an assault,,,
We just embellished a bit.

The one kid got taken away, under arrest in handcuffs,,,
The other kid got taken away as well,,,
But wasn't under arrest.

We both gave our info and stated we would be willing to make a formal statement and testify,,,
But we never heard from anyone about it so I assume charges weren't filed.

My point is that the goblin got what he deserved,,,
A busted nose and a bloody face.

That's the only thing that will deter their kind,,,
Not harsh language.

I guess that's the (probably the one and only) benefit to being a woman who was raised to be a son. I haven't met a group of kids yet who knew what to do with me. I may get my ass kicked one of these days but if I do I'll have enough DNA under my fingernails to breed clones if I so want. There will be a few chucks of flesh lying around on the ground also. People do tend to move on to other ... Ahem ... "Activities" when you bite them hard enough to take a chunk outta them. 🤷 I mean if things go so far south that somebody is (or is threatening to) laying hands on me I'm no tough guy but I won't go to the ground without at least trying to take one or two with me.

You stay safe.

Wife has been trying gluten free for a couple years… I decided gluten is a French word for flavor.. flavor free sucks.
I don’t want for good food. But a lot of the store bought stuff is laughably bad. I miss the convenience of being able to eat anything- but most of my irritation springs from crap like tracking down ingredients on prescription drugs (manufacturers are not required to disclose all the ingredients, and often use wheat as binder/filler) or lip balm or playdough etc. If it’s goes in my or my daughters mouth, I have to know what’s in it.
I was just reading back through this thread. We really have easy lives if these are the things that are the "Most Irritating Things" we can think of. I've got a pretty great life.
I agree. Im grateful and fortunate to have the life I have. But the thread was about irritation. If the OP made a thread about the hardest/darkest/painiest thing in your life- I suspect responses would get grim.
