... or respond with excessive emotion?
For me, it's losing something.
I can handle most of what people would categorize as crises, but if I can't find my phone/keys--- I become irrationally irate.

Getting lost sends me into an absolute panic.

Other people who are freaked out over something. It doesn't even have to be my crisis! I would make a horrible horrible first responder!

Seeing people hurt/neglect animals.
Seeing people make fun/be horrid to the elderly.
Bullies.
Watching parents neglect their children.
Others wasting my time.

When businesses are late without any explanation and/or apology. I'm not unreasonable; things can happen. But, for example, when I was waiting on an appliance delivery and it arrived at 8 PM, when the delivery window was until 5 PM, and there was NO communication about running late and no apology... I about lost my shit. I was at home anyway, and if they'd told me they were late - no big deal. But the lack of communication made me irate.

Driving someplace for the first time. Yes I have an iPhone. Yes I have GPS. But not knowing *exactly* where the building is, the best route and how much time it will take to get there - ugh. Major stress time.

Driving someplace stressful (usually in San Francisco) with one way streets, bus lanes, and endless pedistrians and bicyclists and no place to pull over.

Do you have the Tile? I got mine for Christmas last year and love it. Lose my keys? My phone can find them. Lose my phone? My keys set my phone ringing so I can find them. Life changer for someone who hates to be late but waits until the last minute to leave. If I misplace something, I will search for it for hours.

When I travel, I find waiting for an Uber to be stressful (even though only one driver has ever cancelled my trip). Then I worry about traffic and finding the right place I am supposed to be observing. I also hate waiting to deplane when the hatch has clearly been opened for 15 minutes and no one is actually moving. I know that from my plane to my house is a 15 minute trip if I can just get off of the dang plane.

Digging around in my purse looking for something I can't immediately find. I swear it makes me feel claustrophobic, which makes no sense. Now one would think this would mean I would keep a very clean, organized purse and employ all sorts of ways to reduce this freakout. One would be wrong. Sometimes I surprise myself with how little sense I make

Getting lost...I have a horrid sense of direction. I seem to manage fine in my car with GPS. But, walking even with GPS I still manage to go the wrong way.

lol, my BF walking right passed where he should hang his coat, only to hang it on a chair. Seriously, you walked by it, and now it takes more effort to put it by the door. 🤦🏻♀️

Dirty clothes being put in the washer and not the dirty clothes hamper in the bedroom. I don't care that the washer is by the back door when you come in. And it never fails, it's always right after I've just done a load and it's in the dryer - so I won't be doing another load for a few days.

Highway driving in my area.
The road is absolutely torn up.
It's 4-6 lanes each direction, with exits on both left and right sides.
And people are blowing past me doing ninety while I'm the slow poke at 75 mph.
And due to indefinite construction, there is no shoulder to pull off onto in case of car trouble.

When my husband sits down while I am cleaning around him. This sets me off to no end. If he isn't going to help or in another room I don't care, but don't be sitting your ass down in front of me while I am cleaning. Oh I go full on psycho. (This is a childhood thing from my dad who was the king of doing this to us). You would think DH would learn. Two weekends ago I had my moment.

The other day I was first in line at a red light waiting for it to change. Just as it turned to green an ambulance came through the intersection with lights and sirens on, so I waited for the ambulance to pass before going through, even though the light was green. Someone laid on their horn behind me and I full on lost it. Don’t honk at me when I am respecting the rules of the road, I’m not about to cut off an ambulance just because the light is green.

It doesn't have to be keys or a phone for me to be irrationally upset. It can be nail clippers, or a special spatula, or a dog bowl.

Digging around in my purse looking for something I can't immediately find. I swear it makes me feel claustrophobic, which makes no sense. The 'digging through my purse" process sometimes makes me feel sensory overload. I forget what I'm looking for, and can't refocus. It's like mini executive functioning failure.

Anything/anyone touching my belly button - or even coming close. Dh knows better but thinks it’s hysterically funny to try and get Dgs to come over when i’m sitting down and try to wiggle his finger in there. Even talking about belly buttons makes my stomach scrunch up 🤢

Taxes- I have an unrealistic reaction to doing taxes. It stresses me out. It’s not the paying of the money that stresses me, if they sent me a bill, I’d pay it without the stress. The action of doing taxes stresses me out I’m terrufied if being wrong. Even when I use a professional I still get this anxiety reaction that’s out of proportion.
I get super upset when I loose or break something my kids made me.
Dogs, I get weirdly happy about dogs. I’ll be on vacation in a foreign country and I’ll see a cute dog, it makes me smile. If they come near me I always talk to them.
Maybe my accountant should have a litter of puppies there for people like me.

Mine is people who take forever to go when the light is green. I'm certainly NOT referring to your situation padresfan619- I'm just talking about a regular day. We have so many traffic lights with green turn arrows that only stay green a few seconds and then you have to sit through another round of lights. I was ill today because of a driver. I absolutely have no patience when it comes to driving- terrible road rage. No, I'm not going to shoot anyone but you better believe I going to lay on my horn. And slow people stay out of the left lane!

My cat being outside. He is allowed out for an hour or so once or twice a day. Usually I'm out with him doing yard work or something. Sometimes the dog "supervises" when I'm inside. The cat spends his time sprawled out on the patio or creeping through the planters and almost always comes running when I call. But sometimes he is just an a$$ and will not come. And if I can't find him I lose my mind. It's ridiculous on several levels and I should just keep him in, but he loooooves it outside. I'm rolling my eyes at myself.

When my husband walks out of the kitchen to throw trash in the little bathroom trashcan rather than putting it in the trashcan that is in the kitchen. He has even thrown an empty milk jug in the little bathroom trashcan because the kitchen can was full and he didn't feel like emptying it. I have threatened to remove the trashcan from the bathroom because he does crap like that all the time. And if he doesn't feel like emptying the kitchen can at that moment, he can take it out to the big trashcan in the garage, that is closer to the kitchen than the little powder room down the hall. LOL

Driving after dark. This is a new occurrence in my "old" age (50+). I was never a nervous night driver until a couple years ago. I'm anxious and honestly probably not a great driver at night because I'm so on edge.
