INSECTS DRIVE ME CRAZY. Barking dogs drive me crazy. Bigots drive me crazy. The smell of cigarette smoke drives me crazy. Politicians drive me crazy. “Some people,” said Charles Bukowski, “never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.” We all have our pet peeves, those things that we are compelled to encounter in life that cause our mental equilibrium to boil over. We have to deal with these inconveniences with as little disruption as possible. But everyone has their own trigger pressure setting. If a driver pulls out in front of me without simultaneously speeding up, I may honk my horn at him. Whenever I honk my horn, however, that seems to irritate my wife. My stupid driver trigger pressure setting is lower than hers, I suppose. Some things in life just can’t be avoided forever. It’s not just death and taxes, you see. Worrying about those things can drive you crazy, of course, and perhaps focusing just on those two bugaboos will keep your poor mind off all the other irritants. Hypocrisy drives me crazy. All those candy bars displayed at the checkout counter drive me crazy. People who talk too much drive me crazy. Religious zealots drive me crazy. Inflation drives me crazy. One of these days, I guess, I’ll arrive at my destination and then I actually will be crazy.
