It seems everyone is always in the way.

The biggest issue I have is that I expect reciprocal behavior (knowing that it is not going to happen), e.g., if I hold the door open for someone and they don't acknowledge me, or if I stop to let someone pass in front of me in a parking lot and they don't even acknowledge it, etc. etc... It's obvious to me that MOST people are so self-involved that nobody else matters. It's not that "it's all about me", it's just that rudeness and being. a prick in unacceptable.

Truth!
 
As I get older I seem to get more impatient but getting better at letting things go and putting on a patient face. Everywhere I go it seems people get in my way. Mostly because there's just more people in my area. But it never fails. Traffic backed up. Red lights catching me. Getting pulled out in front of. Handicap driving under the speed limit. Waiting in long lines at stores. People taking up the aisles in conversation, buggy in the way, or walking slow. Being put on hold during phone call. Late or lost deliveries. Lotto scratchers at the gas stations. Last minute plan changing. New laws or "fees" that are inconveniencing. Decision making that is over complicated, no one knows how to keep things simple. Ads on every single thing, every other minute.

I don't hate people, I think people are fascinating. But dealing with them and their ways is taxing. They say life is hard, but people certainly make it harder than it needs to be.
People do make it harder than it should be. I've been saying for years, God didn't intend for life to be this hard.
But this is the deal. My Wife and I would've loved to move out away from population. But the plain fact was the good jobs and benefits were in the big city. So it's just a necessary evil
 
Need to simply change your mindset and focus more on things that you are grateful/thankful for and stay home during the snowstorm panic grocery run
That's it. My last job, I got up at 4 and at work by 6. Stayed usually till after 8 at night before driving home. These days I don't want to leave home till 10 and be home before 3
