Trigger
Which behavioural habits in others do you have the least patience for? This is a tricky question actually, because most things that annoy us do so because they mirror something in ourselves that we are not happy with subconsciously, or they set off triggers for issues stuffed down, laying dormant and unhealed.

Tired
I woke up tired this morning, I showed up to the word with a heaviness I can't explain. I'm short tempered, many things irritated me today. It's tiresome.
