My anger on a recent trip derived from many irritating things that happened to me while visiting different countries:
  • I had an annoying limousine driver.
  • My omelet lacked scallions at breakfast.
  • A calico cat scratched me.
  • My favorite jeans were ripped.
  • The taxi’s antimacassars were horribly soiled and maddeningly smelly.
  • Magenta poodles were seemingly everywhere.
  • I stepped on wet varnish.
  • Also on rotten peaches.
  • My suede boots were completely ruined.
  • Hotel wanted documents on parchment­­—ridiculous!
  • I definitely packed racquets for badminton. The luggage inspectors must have stolen them!
  • Currant jam at tea was sour.
  • Starbucks had no mocha lattes.
  • Nobody should wear that denim ensemble.
  • I ordered sardines, not anchovies.
  • Bad mayonnaise from room service.
