People were designed poorly...

Human nature is truly stupid. It is human nature to become annoyed at, and be wound up by things as you go about your day. It is also human nature to want someone to back you up or share in your annoyance because we don’t like to feel alone in our endeavours. So this all makes sense so far, but why then is it also human nature to be less annoyed at things that other people are really wound up by. I have repeatedly found myself in situations where something is annoying me and I begin a rant that simply goes over the head of people I’m talking to, and yet I also find myself in the other position where I feel there is no point getting myself worked up about the same thing as somebody else, as one of us has to stay calm. The end result is one person is left moaning to themselves and feeling pretty hard done by that nobody is joining in and the other one just wants them to shut up so they can have a bit of peace. Life’s a sod really.
