is this a serious question?
i find repetition annoying because it's inefficient (in conversation etc) and generally not creative/can be very boring, some repetition can be good however, like the drones in some indian classical music for instance.

I love it when it is used effectively in music. Otherwise I am indifferent.

I find it boring.

I only need repetition if I wasn't paying attention the first time, and I'm usually paying attention the first time.

It depends on why it's annoying. I sure don't like listening to the same things over and over I am not interested in. I am guilty of being repetitive myself and get that way when I am very very upset. It's hard to not talk about it.

I really hate it when people go on and on about things and you wish they'd stop going on and on about it because it really gets so annoying because it's so redundant and you really wish they would just stop but they don't stop and they just keep going on and on and there's no point to it and you just want to tell them to stop going on and on because it's so irritating how people just go on and on and on and on and on...

I LOVE repetition but I have bad OCD & I was also diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Personality as well
