Do you get irritated by little things?

Before my sister was very ill she says the smallest things used to get on her nerves. Now she says that since she has recovered she realises that they really weren't worth worrying about and she has learned to focus more on the good things in her life because our days on this earth are precious and none of us will be here forever.
I must admit I do stress about certain things that I know are unimportant, I think we all do at times but I am trying to be more like her and appreciate the finer things in life.
Do you find yourself getting irritated by little things that don't really matter?

Oh yes that would annoy me too. 
. I can't stand it when people don't say please or thank you too.

@sprite1950 This is also something that annoys me a lot. Also when people bump into you and do not say sorry.

Hi Snowdrop. Oh yes, I do, most especially when I am having my monthly visitors. I have zero tolerance for anything when things do not happen the way I want it to be.

Do you know 'those' visitors come to everyone (not gender specific) and anyone can react harsh on such occasions. Don't trust me? Read this, (no ref-link)

I get irritated by little things, but I don't let that interfere with my overall happiness. I have learned not to "sweat the small stuff," so I try to look at the big picture in situations and not get bogged down by the details. But we're all human, so there are going to be things that get under our skin from time to time.

I love that expression. We used to have a comedy TV programme over here called "Don't sweat the small stuff". It was hilarious, I guess if something major happens all the small things become unimportant.

Yeah I think I was more stressy when I was young. Age does seem to bring with it a certain serenity and the ability to ignore some of the unimportant irritants in life,

Oh yes. I get irritated at the littlest things. I know it's stupid but I just can't help myself sometimes. I have issues dealing with certain noises or just noise and I will get irritated rather quickly. Not sure why but it does seem to get worse as I get older.

Yes there are a few small things that really annoy me.I think it is normal for people to have that small thing that annoys them. I work for a call centre for a UK fashion retailer who sells online. I get really annoyed by the people I speak to who say they ordered something offline when they really mean online.

I agree saying that if you focus on small things you can never focus on big things and can never progress,we must add value to our life by doing really really great things,and it's simple if you focus on good things good will happen

I will admit a lot of little things frustrate me and I worry about stuff or get too stressed when I shouldn't.
But, one thing I will probably always find irritating is loud eaters. Just people chomping on their food and not eating with there mouths closed will never get rid of that annoying feeling.
