What agitates you?

Post Reply New Topic

When people fall for an individual's BS repeatedly. Along the lines of, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

Example:

"Julie is borrowing that book."
"But Julie ruined the last book she borrowed."
"Yes, but this time she said, '[many reasons why she wouldn't ruin the book]'

I guess it's that I've learned to expect from people exactly what they've done in the past, and have learned to completely ignore their own expectations of themselves. When someone else ignores someone's past actions, I believe they're asking for whatever they get.

Many things, I'm sure I will leave out a good deal of it.

- Being late from my workplace because of the fault of transportation companies (city rails and trams, state railways).
- City bus, tram, suburban train leaves the stop in front of me.
- Ignorant car drivers honking their horn at me while I'm cycling. It's less stressing when I'm behind the wheel too.
- I'm frown upon things others seemingly allowed to do.
- People with whom I've arranged a future event say they won't go because of some rather stupid reason.
- Sensory issues: Too loud speech, loud exhausting systems, noisy water tubes and taps after 10 o'clock in the evening, car-door banging, clock ticking, coughing in the adjacent apartment at night, some tags in the shirts (not all), any type of low-frequency noise, smell of garlic, cigarette, etc.

I'm sure there's more...

Someone assuming his/her memory is correct
Someone assuming he/she sensed (saw, heard) something accurately
Someone assuming that they're making a decision because of the logical reasons they think they're making it
As in, "I'm going to do this crack because I need to get rid of the last of it," when it's actually addiction making the decision.
Someone exaggerating events knowingly, and not treating that as dishonesty
Someone showing you/others something on Youtube (or similar) and then using that as a gateway to show more things for an hour

Mine is mostly sensory:

Noise: Harley motorcycles, booming bass coming from automobiles, loud barking dogs (size doesn't matter it's more the pitch), screaming children, jack hammers, sirens, any sharp unexpected sound, shrieking technology protection alarms, bagpipes in close proximity, fighter jets flying over head, horns honking, lots of people talking loudly all at the same time, & people shouting into their cell phones out in public

Touch: scratchy clothing labels, clothing seams that rub against my skin, people touching me when I am not prepared

Smell: exhaust fumes from cars-doesn't matter if it's a diesel or gas engine, smoking, some perfumes, scents from detergents or cleansers, microwaved fish is really bad, lighter fluid for BBQs (a neighbor close by tends to over use it & it permeates the whole neighborhood

Other: solicitors who won't take no for an answer, being around too many people at once (I find it mostly overwhelming)

Tomboy

Children screaming/crying/throwing a tantrum
Family and friends coming over unannounced (sometimes I get agitated even if it was announced)
People watching what I'm doing when I'm on the computer
Being kicked off the computer when I'm right in the middle of something
People who don't need to lose weight eating my diet food
Making unplanned stops when running errands
Being told "get ready to go" and then not actually leaving for another 30 minutes/hour

People who enter a highway ramp from the far lane

People who drive 40 mph on a freeway

People who can't merge

People who wait at a 4-way stop until I come to a complete stop, rock back, tap my fingers on the wheel and glare at them

...and that was just in one short trip this morning!

Slurping and sucking the dreggs of an ice filled drink container, or the scrabbling around the bottom of an empty popcorn carton in the cinema, it drives me nuts. Every once of will power is used restraining myself from reaching over grabbing the offending article and saying its "F***ing empty", then of course there is the issue of talking in the cinema Needless to say I do not go to the movies very often

Unexpected loud and/or high pitched noise.

And also some people's ignorance.

Stupid people.
Immature people.
Stupid and immature people.

Being interrupted from a task or having to connect into the social world when I'm alone.

I have a few friends who text me all the time...one recent one I gained does it several times every day until he gets an answer from me. It is so annoying! He is an aspie too, so it looks like I will have to be blunt with him.

Snoring
