Some people are more easily annoyed than others. They may be far quicker to lose their cool than they would like to be. On the other hand, those who are more patient live life as though they can endure any level of inconvenience without having it impact their mood. For the ones who are quick to anger, the inconsiderate actions of people around them are usually the root cause of their annoyance although others might see things differently. Perhaps, those who are easily bothered by little things lack the ability to just let things slide.
Many times in life, we just have to let things go and decide not to think about them after they're done, even if we feel what happened was super unfair.
