What gets your goat?

Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

People who assume (and won't be persuaded otherwise) that good health means being thin. I have been healthy, vitally fit and active all my life and yet judged by the fashion of the day and, more dangerously, by health professionals, to be obese and therefore unhealthy.
I have excellent BP, cholesterol, blood sugar levels and a sparkle that gets me going into my days with enthusiasm and contentment.
These people seem never to have heard of Health at Any Size, a world-wide movement which showed just how dangerous and unhealthy dieting is was and ever will be. They seemed determined to fly in the face of evidence to the contrary and declare me unhealthy!!
Fortunately I am strong minded enough to ignore their idiocy but how many people eating goof, fresh foods and getting exercise, still believe this ridiculous propaganda?
How many thin people assume they're healthy simply because they conform to the specious BMI (which Harvard scholars never devised or intended to apply to individuals - another idiocy we've adopted) even though they may have an unhealthy lifestyle?
Many fat people are extremely healthy and I am heartily SICK of the empty-headed fashionistas who say otherwise.
