As said above, their incredible tolerance for noise and lights. They can make themselves deaf and blind and they want more !
Their tolerance to small talk and intolerance to logical reasoning. They can talk about the most boring things and listen to that patiently, and you get accused of being like a robot when you go straight to the point with facts.
Their vague sentences and questions. like "How was... ?" What are you asking me ? Can you be more specific please ? Much more specific. That sounds so simple to you, that's impossible to answer. Unless if you don't mind me being off-topic. I can't read your mind, sorry.
People who play being your "friend" and who say horrible things about you behind your back. No better way to destroy trust and create more and more misanthropes.
Sugarcoating. "No, you're not like that, but..." Come on, be honest, I won't bite.
Being emotional slobs.
I'm not talking about feeling emotions, or even being overcome with emotions during important moments. I mean being overcome with emotion on a regular basis to the point where it dramatically impacts their ability to make sound decisions, and then moping about it in a way that brings everyone else down.

They can be hard to talk to if they're family because of the two or more different wavelengths that are involved. Since nobody gets what the other party is trying to get through, nothing is ever accomplished and than connections between family members seem to disappear.

The Family Enigma
Telling me things like "later" or "soon" instead of giving me a more specific time.
The constant, constant lying.
Choosing fashion over function, and said fashion looks like something out of the zoo.
NT women having to spend their lives looking 18 and being at least 20 lbs underweight.
Thinking that any affection you show towards animals makes you a "furry" who wants a bestial relationship.
Showing any positive feelings for someone the same sex as you makes you gay/lesbian.
Showing any public affection for your parents and vice versa is incest.
Being friends in a non-sexual way with someone the opposite sex as you is not possible unless you're gay or ugly.
Women who don't wear dresses or makeup are ugly and masculine.
If your interests are "odd" they should be discouraged instead of nurtured.
If you're an adult who collects toys, you must be a pedophile.
If you're an adult who plays family-friendly E-rated games like animal Crossing, you must be a pedophile.
If you're female you should not be interested in video games, even E-rated ones aimed at both genders like Animal crossing.
If you're a guy who likes video games it should only be gory, Mature-rated "hardcore" games.
You're a complete failure as a human being if you're not employed or married.
If you like to spend time alone, you're a freak or a serial killer.
I think Aspies do just as many drugs, maybe more even.

Darn, I flunked.
How they say autistic people are rude and blunt, yet it's mostly NTs being rude. When they ask me why I don't talk that much, why I do this, why I do that, why I dress the way I do, etc.
To me, they are the ones with no sense of personal boundaries. Also how they insist when you say no. No, I said I don't want to go out and no, I don't need to justify it. I'd never ask people intimate questions and I'd never insist when they say no.

In fact, I would say something about each of your so called "thoughts", but I'm too tired and I have bigger battles to fight - like going to work.

I understand this to a point, but for me emails and voice-mails aren't very "personal" to me. That's why I have always tried to get my Aspie friends to do more than email and maybe more than texting - hasn't happened yet.

That's not me. But I don't like the complete opposite - afraid to show any emotion.

Agree, except not all NTs say things behind your back, this is a trait anyone can have or not have.
Anyway, the vagueness....I hate it. I like asking them to be more specific and I tend to go off-topic a lot when they ask about personal and vague things.
I hate how they always want to do small talk. I can do that but in a very awkward way. I also find it pointless most of the time. I guess I have limited skills in this, but don't use it much cause I find it pointless. And when it's strangers doing it, it just confuses me. Like why are you even talking to me?
And yeah, the sounds....so loud! And lights? Too bright, and they turn the light on even when it's not necessary. And everytime a friend gives me an earplug to listen to music with them, the sound is so loud it literally hurts my ears and I have to ask them to lower the volume or have to keep the earplug distant. And it's just one, I can't imagine how loud it is with two! How can they even tolerate it???

The way so many [perhaps the vast majority of NTs) appear not to like to think about anything or any topic in any depth, often just taking on in a superficial way conventional ideas at face value, no capacity nor desire to question them nor to perform any kind of inner contemplation or inquiry.
Is it their choice or is it some kind of neurotypical deficit that is hardwired into most of them?
In second place for me would be their almost formulaic insincerities in social chit chat, and the apparently wide division between what many of them say and what they seem to be thinking. I dislike that lack of authenticity in anyone of any neurology at any time, though NTs are the specialists in it. Maybe it's a "developmental disorder" that the DSM hasn't got around to including yet, because they are so distracted by the notion that autism is a developmental disorder (which it isn't, the difference is an innate one).
I am often amazed when I overhear NT conversations and they talk about some rather small point for what seems to me an interminable amount of tme. They exchanged the salient point in the first minute of the conversation but just keep rehashing the same nugget of information. I don't understand how to have a conversation like that. It bores me terribly.
Wearing clothing that is uncomfortable.
Saying unkind things behind people's backs and then acting like you love them to their face.
When "Getting Along" means assimilation instead of harmony.
And not able to see differences when the majority is 'doing' it, whether they like it or not, with or without enough knowledge, it made it looked like "Getting Along" as mandatory than a choice.
Or a progress by faking and coping only to comment behind backs, as majority does it... It's a funny open secret.
And not "Getting Along" gets punished.
I'm close to find out how making NTs sync.
I prefer harmony between differences.
