Subject: She dropped it so she should pick it up
Preheader: [New course on pettiness]

"ARGHHHH!!! Why can't she just put that in the trash??" The voice inside me snapped as I stepped over a piece of paper on the garage floor for the sixth time (yes, I was counting). 

The voice continued, "she dropped it, she should pick it up." 

To me, this piece of paper on the floor was as annoying as a gnat buzzing around my face.  

However, I expect my wife was not bothered by the paper being there — it did not interfere with us accessing the gardening tools (or anything, for that matter). 

Sometimes, what annoys me, does not annoy my wife. 

I picked up the offending piece of paper and dropped it into the trash can.

Thus tending to my need for order. 

And calm, since I was no longer feeling irritated by it. 

Most of us can be petty from time to time. 

I do not feel ashamed about my pettiness — I have learned that what really matters is how I respond to it.
