Hehehe - well, Atlanta is apparently the number one 'most irritated' city in the US!

"Atlanta is the crankiest city in the nation.

That’s according to a new poll conducted by Sperling’s BestPlaces and was based on a measurement of 11 irritation factors, including pest control, traffic congestion, and heat index, among others.

(We just walked across the street for lunch and can attest that the heat index is indeed pretty irritating today.)

The survey was commissioned by Edge Shave Zone, ..."

Houston is number two and Washington DC, number 3. The other 47 of the top 50 can be found through the above link

We had an old fogey who shot some kids on his lawn a few years back. He got in a lot of trouble.

There was another 93-year-old woman who was tired of kids playing football on her yard so she walked out, stole their ball, and locked it up in her house. The police hauled her off to jail and she did a jail term because she refused to return the ball.

I always tell folks you may think old people are easy to pick on... but you'll find out the hard way, they really don't care anymore. There's a reason a man says, "I'm 90 yeas old.. what the hell are they gonnna do to me?"

Part of the problem is the volume of traffic combined with the NASCAR mentality that makes every driver think he or she can tailgate and swerve in and out of traffic. Since race cars don't use turn signals, they don't use them either.

Houston is number two

Likely because of all the turtles in the left lane (a large number of them immigrants, by my observation), and bored constables who do NOT understand that the concept is to get where one needs to go, without the irritating interference of artificially low speed limits, si man.

I for sure thought it would be NYC, but I guess the overabundance of AWESOME pizza makes everyone just a lil bit happier

NYC has a Pizza Hut on every corner?

Huh.. I could think of other cities in Massachusetts that are more irritated than Boston.

Boston's not irritated??

Everyone's happily jaywalking, and coming in and out of dunkin donuts, and staying in shape running around the esplanade..

John you are super silly.

NYC has italian guys on every corner, duh My friend Mario makes the best pizza in my neighborhood. I used to work at there as a kid taking orders and ringing people up.

I bet most of that is traffic around the perimeter and right through the city. Many people in the metro area have long commutes and well, you know for yourself that there's accidents that back it up forever pretty much every day.
