The Little Things
"Not a single day passed without my painfully experiencing some Turk violating the "natural and logical way" of doing things. At first, it was staring, then it was abrupt "no" answers and arrogance from petty officialdom. Later it was blaring horns, and still later, continual interruptions while talking. Each little violation brought irritation, sometimes anger. Rapidly, these irritations built up into an explosiveness that was too easily provoked. This latent tension marred my stay in Turkey."

How can you keep these little things from building up as she describes?
