    Everybody has something that sets them off. We know what triggers Dems politically (see below), but in the bigger world, day-to-day life, what is your personal trigger? What bothers you so much that you can never let it stand without responding/acting? I'll tell you mine, I have 2, later in the thread.

    People texting while driving or while you're talking to them.
    People who think being loud is a badge of power and babble without end just to hear their own voice.
    People who ask a question just so they can argue with the answer.
    Drunk drivers
    Being charged to use a machine so I can spend money at your store
    although these things frustrate me....I don't think triggered is how I'd describe my reaction to these things...I saw a schoolbus driver on a cellphone with a bus full of kids driving down the road and when I got home...called the school and let them know. They fired the guy.

    You simply can't use that word. Trigga is acceptable by some, but not people who look like you.

    In all seriousness, I have too many to mention

    Nothing triggers me. I'm a very stable genius.

    Triggers:

    People who use the word "literally" figuratively.

    Drivers who enter and get stuck in intersections because traffic ahead is backed up and they don't care.

    People who text while having a real life, in-person conversations.
