- Being interrupted mid-sentence. This especially bothers me when I'm speaking words of importance/value and I'm interrupted because of something much less important. A friend of mine does this on the regular and it makes me want to rip out my hair.
- Noisy eaters. I do not want to hear your food and mouth go smacksmacksmack as you eat.
- Low talkers. Completely understandable if we're in a situation where speaking at a low volume is necessary, i.e., in class, at the library, etc.
- Multiple people speaking at the same time. I get extremely anxious when this occurs and ultimately stop listening, while trying to distract myself from the talking by doing something else.
- People who read over my shoulder. It's not the fact that they're reading what I'm typing/writing/reading, it's the fact that they're hovering over me.
- On that note: people who walk too close for comfort.
- Social networking websites like MySpace and Facebook. I suppose I just outgrew them. I am a much bigger fan of face-to-face communication, thank you kindly.
- People who have this strange idea that their taste is superior to everyone else's and, thus, feel the need to bash the other person's interests simply because they are not similar to their own.
- A crowded kitchen, especially when I'm preparing/cooking food. I guess this goes back to my dislike of hovering. It doesn't help that my kitchen is small, either, so even just one other person in the room makes it feel crowded.
- When kids play on the bag carousel at my register, especially when the parents don't say anything to them. Either you tell your kids that Pathmark is not a playground or I don't bag your groceries. Choose wisely.
