Things that no longer aggravate me:

• Lousy weather
• The Cubs’ losing ways
• Heavy traffic
• People who think they’re the coolest, man
• Travel delays

Things that still aggravate me:

• Politics and politicians
• People who just know how others should live
• Technology mishaps
• People who do not pick up after their dogs
• Alarm clocks
• Deadlines

And, of course, there are plenty of things that I find disturbing, deeply saddening or incomprehensible — murder-suicide, child abuse, racism, homophobia, etc. — but that don’t aggravate me, per se, in the sense that I don’t get worked up about them.
