Little things, big stress

What is one small thing that *always* gets you stressed out - even though you know it's not something important?

  1. Running late gets me super stressed out. So much so it will even bring on a migraine. I've gotten better about it but I get really worked up if I'm on my way to a doctor's appt and traffic makes me late. So now I'll just call the doctor's office and tell them to see if they still want me to come or if I need to reschedule. That usually really lowers my stress, but for some reason I have to remind myself that calling them to let them know is an option I have lol

    1. Getting upset when telemarketers call me all the day after day. I hate looking at my phone; I know the call is not for me. My blood pressure just shoots up and I want to scream into the phone.

      This is not that important. Just don't answer the phone.

      Thank you,

      Diane

      1. Sign up your phone number at donotcall.gov, hope this helps.

    2. ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh! Mine would have to be running late and getting hot. Yes, believe it or not getting hot stresses me out. - Clair.

      1. An untidy house totally stresses me out! And, totally silly, but the finales of reality shows stress me out. I always have to watch them the next day so I can look up who won first (otherwise I'm a mess the entire time).
