Qualifier: these are all sometimes situations – lest I sound like a nut.

That said, sometimes I want to shake my fist
—at my students,
—at the C train subway conductor who shuts the door of the C train just as I’m running across the platform from the A train,
—at the mail carrier who squashes too much mail in the box so I rip it getting it out
—at the bookstore manager who forgets to order my class’s textbooks,
—at my favorite Thai restaurant for being closed on Wednesdays…

I’ll probably add to this. A son-of-43 things list, I guess. It does feel good.
