You could look at why it barks and solve that problem.It’s bored. Maybe if I sing and dance for it?
I think if you trained the dig with positive reinforcement then I could stop barking.

“I notice myself getting a bit more more grumpy as life goes on.“I see it as there’s only so much s**t anyone can take in their lives (the amount varies by the person) and when we have used up our quota of being overly polite we then start reacting as we should have in the first place to the rude gits out there.
Life is too short – the closer we get to the end, the less s**t we should have to endure.
Speaking of which…

The yapping dog I have mentioned previously – it is seriously driving me batty and there is pretty much nothing I can do about it. Started at 2am this morning.I have spoken politely to the owners and dropped delicate reminders in their mailbox. They have ignored me. The local council requires me to keep a diary of the annoyance for two months, and after that time they will “investigate” and if I am lucky warn the owners who will ignore them and then it all starts again.
I’d be knocking on their door until they open it and then politely tell them I will stop knocking when the dog stops barking. Make them call the cops on you – bet it won’t take two months for them to get there. It’s not the dog’s fault.

Another ASJ Language Class grievance:
Right-e-o, remember the girl who never phoned me to tell me she wasn’t coming to the French class, a week or two back. Well I met her on Tuesday and she said she’d messaged me on Facebook but I amn’t friends with her on it so of course it went to my spam box, so I’d never see it. Anyways she told me that she would come Saturday evening, time to be decided but that she’d call/text me before Saturday. Anyhoo today came and I had no phone call or text, now I have my own life- my friends were going to meet up tonight and I said I couldn’t go because I have classes the majority of the day. She was meant to be the last one at 5pm-6pm.
So 1pm came and I still hadn’t got any message of recognition that she was/wasn’t coming. I messaged her on FB (I finally added her) and asked her was she coming or not and this is her reply:
“Hey ASJ…We are going away this evening.. Will next Tuesday suit at 4?”- no it won’t bloody suit, I have French classes in Galway on Tuesdays, the only fecking day I can’t give lessons is Tuesday and I’ve told her that- plus I am away for the next two weeks (from Mon-Fri) in Galway. Why didn’t you f**king text me that you were going away? Free up my evening for Christ’s sake if you aren’t going to show up. If I hadn’t messaged her she would have never told me and I would have been waiting around my house with the work THAT TAKES ME AT LEAST AN HOUR TO DO for her and she’d never show up.
Damn people, I told her I only have Saturday evenings free for now because I am not going giving up my Sunday morning which is the only morning that I don’t have something on.
And if she doesn’t show up next time, I’m dropping her- I amn’t that hung up for money.

I’ve probably shared this before, maybe even multiple times, but what bugs me is when people don’t call me my preferred name. As some of you may remember, a few months back, people were being extremely rude and I had no clue what to do and it just felt awful in general. I told guidance about it, it stopped for the most part. Even when I tell everyone when they call me by that nickname to call me by my real name, some just refuse to do what I politely ask them to do. It real makes me want to punch a wall and scream into a pillow.
Also along with names, when people call you rude nicknames in gym class. This never happened to me, but someone I know tries hard to win in gym class, and the boys call her rude nicknames. Thank god that another girl in that class (one of my friends) is trying to stop it and she let me help her out.

Offline Maybe your friend should just stop trying so hard? I used to tell those kids that we were in gym class and not the olympics. Winning really isn’t a big deal, and the kids who think it is get made fun of. That’s life. 
I hate when I make a really cool nickname for somebody but they don’t like it. Like my one friend’s name is Marissa but I call her sasa. She would always complain about it at first but now she’s used to it and doesn’t say anything.
Another pet peeve of mine is when people take the elevator to go to the second or third floor. Like really? Are you that lazy you all have to squeeze into the elevator because you can’t take the stairs? I especially don’t understand when they take the elevator down floors (I am more understanding when they’re going up levels but still not accepting). There is no physical difficulty in walking down the stairs, so why take the elevator?

That is annoying, unless they have limited mobility or something. Then it’s understandable.

It’s true that there are certain contexts and situations that certain jokes wouldn’t be polite in, and I’m not denying that. There are also certain jokes and joke subject matter that I personally don’t find funny, but I don’t make it my mission to announce it to everybody because – wait for it – nobody cares about my worthless opinion and I don’t set out to censor anybody.

Wholeheartedly agree.
Whats even worse is folk who actively watch or get involved in something they know will offend them and then complain that they are offended.

Thank you! I have friends that all really just say “That’s not funny!” when someone else tells a joke. I’ve seen this both on and offline, and it irks me so much. One time, someone was mourning over someone’s death (I forget who) then someone tried to make a joke, and they don’t even understand it’s a bloody joke! And then, they’re all like “Please don’t joke about that, this is a serious matter!” and I was so upset about that.

Offline Yes, you have the freedom to make jokes about whatever you want, but if somebody finds them to be bad taste they’re allowed to voice that. And really, @natureaker ? You were “ready to punch someone” for politely asking another person not to joke about something they thought was a serious matter? In through the nose and out through the mouth, man, calm down. It’s okay. You’re okay. They’re okay. They can say that. You need to chill.

I know, I probably should’ve re-worded that. I should have probably said something like “I was really mad or upset” or something. Might as well fix that when I can
