Every once in a while I'll have a bit of trouble getting to sleep. Once I'm asleep, I'll dream that I'm still awake and trying to go to sleep. I dream that I'm so frustrated that I hit my pillow, which of course wakes me up for real. At that point I realize that I had been asleep and dreaming. Now I truly am frustrated and can't get back to sleep.

What is something in life that frustrates you?

No matter what the time of day, there is a certain crossing near my work that I always just miss the green man at. Every single day, 5 minutes early, late, on time, in the evening.....doesn't matter! I always just miss the crossing and have to stand for 2 minutes waiting for the next green man - which, because time is relative to the frame of reference, seems like 5 minutes because of the boredom and annoyance factor.

I admit, compared to starvation, disease and war, those folks have it easy.

I have this issue too and then when I want to or need to sleep, it's time to go to work. I sure am tired this morning. I always hated mornings since I couldn't get enough rest during the short nights.

My little frustrations mainly have to do with people at work having a lack of communication and totally saying the opposite of what something is supposed to be. And then people not listening and paying attention gets to me.

Every time I want a bit of a lie-in (which for me, is actually staying in bed til 9, considering I usually rise a 6), my upstairs neighbour just HAS TO make a noise. EVERY TIME. And it's not just your standard going-about-your-domestic-business noise either, but a sound that resembles a rough-hewn cannonball being rolled around on a hardwood floor. And occasionally lifted slightly and dropped. I've absolutely no idea what it is, but it usually starts up around 8 o'clock in the morning (sometimes earlier) and goes on for a varying amount of time. Worse still, it stops for a while and then starts up again, so just when you think it's finally over and you're almost back to sleep, off it goes. It's like the pain of waiting for the torturer.

It is seriously affecting my quality of life and I am genuinely considering going upstairs and cutting my neighbour's throat.

And a one-off frustration that I've experienced today - no, actually, not a frustration, but a rage-inducing ***** - was having the dentist's attractive assistant spill some vinyl compound on my expensive new sweater that had just been sent to me from the UK as a Christmas present and that I was wearing for the first time ever today and was desperately and gratefully received as most welcome alternative to having to purchase Korean clothes, which are, in the final and most charitable analysis, awful beyond compare, to the point where they actually denigrate the achievements of humanity in the early 21st Century. I know it was an accident but of all the ***** things to happen... GRRR.

Tsk. Korea would have been the last place I would have expected one of Santa's shanks.

...my landlord hammering or drilling stuff every morning at 7 am, or any other time I need a nap. His workload is somehow directly connected to my sleep cycle.
He does it off and on all day every day as he is constructing a new study room for his kid upstairs. If he just hired some professionals it would be done in 2 days. Instead, he subjects the whole apartment complex to his constant tinkering. Sad thing is he is working on the other side of the building, and it still sounds like it's right on the other side of my wall.
