Microaggression

This sounded like a wonderful idea to me, since I am very familiar with the idea of microaggression, if not this terminology.
However, I read the first 20 or so posts on this blog, and found them all awful examples that can only alienate people by making them think that the posters and similar people are all just whingers. I do not think that others' feelings are automatically my fault. If, to take one post as an example, I mention that I had expected someone from a very different cultural background to have a different selection of music, I'm not being racist, but culturally aware. The inverse is people who are shocked to discover that others might like different music. If this person from a different background is annoyed that I had expectations that culture affects musical knowledge, then it's entirely that person's fault.

Microaggression is an important concept in other areas, however. When describing tension in relationships, or mental illness, people often fail to understand the sufferer because each individual instance of a problem seems normal. The overall problem is that there are far too many of these, and a blog that catalogues a lot of individual such moments would certainly help people understand what it is to be a beaten housewife, or live with a person who is ill.

I know very well a number of people in such situations, and have experienced them myself, and describing that sort of life to people is impossible without mentioning this, because they dismiss events that are normal for sufferers because these events are rare but known for them.

Similarly, a blog of microaggressions about all sorts of thoughtlessness and stupidity has been something I've thought of for a while, but obviously not about me being a minority. Instead I had thought of listing all those little moments in which yet another idiot steps into the street in front of me without looking, or when people walking side-by-side don't make way for me going in the other direction until I've stopped and they're about to walk into me and so on.

All those moments when someone jumps a queue because their lives are more important than mine, step in front of me because a little thought is worth more than the time and effort I've lost from braking or stopping running and so on... they add up to a lot of lost time and effort for me, but complaining about one instance does seem trivial.
On the other hand, when on a run I've stopped and started ten times because of thoughtless walkers and been behind smokers twice, choking on their fumes, and it happens at that sort of frequency on every run, then suggesting that they think (about moving earlier, without actually spending any more time on it,) seems like an easy solution to a real problem.
