The thing that probably upsets me most is my own incompetence. Like most academics, I suffer from imposter syndrome; I feel like I'm not good enough, like I've gotten through life thus far through luck rather than any intrinsic capability.
Of things to be upset about, I think it's a fairly productive one. I'd rather get mad at myself for not being able to do something and then hound myself about it until I figure it out than get mad at myself for, say, not being pretty enough. I'm never really satisfied with anything I do, and I think that's probably led me to a lot of my successes.
Although, of course, most of those successes have come from luck.
