Telling me to calm down, I've actually fought over it.
This. Actually, to be more precise telling me to calm down when I'm clearly fucking calm.

Related to this: when I'm in a bad mood, I tend to close up, I become silent. And when people adress me, I am curt, although I do my best not to be blunt or rude, just curt (I am using the right words, right? English isn't my first language).

And then the harrassing starts: what's up? something wrong? was it something I said? you want to talk about it? was it this? was it that?

I still, curtly but politely, try to steer them off my back but some people only get encouraged by that.

And all this anger starts building up and I'm mentally assembling my words and positioning them for attack, and then they inevitably push me too far (because after a certain point, there's no hope they'll finally back off) and then a snide remark flies out, or worse, I flip the fuck out.

The snide remark is often reserved for people who are highly annoying with this, but don't yet know how much I hate that shit.
But the flipping out is for those who've known me for years and years and years and still haven't gotten into their skull that when I'm silent and brooding like that, you leave me the fuck alone.

Yep, right words! Good job ^^

There are a bunch of things that really get to me. I dunno, maybe I have anger issues or something (probably):

Being interrupted, especially if they do it jokingly. You think you're being funny? Well I think you deserve a punch in the fucking nose! How's that for funny?

Abusive human relationships. I mean, you hear so many cases of a wife being beaten cause she "loves" her husband and has nowhere to go and it just gets to me. You always have something you can do! Call the cops, go to a family member's house, hell, go to a homeless shelter if it gets you away from that asshat.

Bad drivers. Here in Vancouver, they are everywhere. And it terrifies me. Summer of 2011 my boyfriend and I got hit in our almost brand new car while turning left at an intersection cause some douchebag decided that the yellow light means speed the fuck up and try to get through the intersection before it turned red. Our entire back end on my side was crumpled, all of the airbags deployed, I blacked out and don't know how we got into the lane we were in when I came to, and our car was totaled. All cause some jerk didn't know how to use the brakes. It's been a year and a half and I still have anxiety issues cause of this stupid excuse for a human being. So now, when I see people doing stupid shit like that, I almost want to pull them out of their car and curb-stomp their ass.
