Aspies: What are your pet peeves?

Post Reply New Topic

people who post nothing but negative-themed topics.

chimchar, look at your titles. not one is positive. i get being depressed and angry, lord knows i'm going through some stuff myself. but you're working yourself up into a tizzy pretty consistently.

People sneezing more than twice.

I know they can't help it but it hurts my ears and makes me shudder inside.
I've never- as far as I can remember and thats a lot, sneezed more than twice in a row, it hurts my ears too much.

Pet Peeve: People bumping into me at the store.
Why: They're invading my personal space. I don't want strangers to get too close to me.

Pet Peeve: People trying to talk to me when I'm immersed in my own world.
Why: I just don't like interacting with others when I'm in my own world. Though to be fair, they can't read my mind so they don't know that they should leave me alone.

Pet Peeve: The computer not working/getting kicked off the computer.
Why: I love the Internet. Need I say more?

Pet Peeve: Niece or nephew crying/screaming/throwing a tantrum.
Why: Two words: Sensory overload.

People making noise. Particularly when I am at home and I can hear people in another apartment. It invades my privacy. Even worse when I am trying to sleep. (Luckily it is normally quiet here but at the moment there seems to be a party going on two doors down - why do people have to speak and laugh so loudly and expose everyone to their rubbish music?)

Uninvited guests. Unsolicited phone calls. Basically being bothered when I'm not looking for company.

People who speak "ebonics" or incorrect English. tYpiNg LiKe DiS, yO! And while we're on the subject, incorrectly spelling a word just to make it "cooler", and it not even being an abbreviation, i.e. "lyfe", "payn"

People gossiping disrespectively about others...

People trying to force their meaning of life down my throat...

Grammatical laziness
People standing/talking behind me
People who write in joined-up handwriting and don't close their letters properly. Seriously, if I see, for example, an improperly closed 'o', I have to correct it even if it's not my writing.
Music played at a volume where all I can hear/feel is the bass
Sudden/loud noises (more of a fear than a peeve)
Being touched in any manner by someone I do not know well
Having my belongings touched/moved by anyone

...and so on.

K. Here we go.

1) Compiling long lists.
2) This list.
3) Idiot drivers who think they're the only person on the road.
4) Self-righteous [censoreds] who correct your 'grammer' while completely ignoring what it is you actually said.
5) Being pessimistic about everything.
6) Being unfailingly, unnaturally optimistic about everything.
7) People who talk in huddled whispers in a public place.
People who suddenly stop walking when they're in front of you, who then glare as you walk by.
9) Hay fever.
10) When a number and a bracket turns into a smilie.

oddly enough, I don't think I have any pet peeves :D

When people pick on me for the sheer entertainment value. I'm apparently lots of fun to pick on, for people who are into that kind of thing.

When people helpfully reorganize my desk for me in my absence without asking, and then my productivity is shot to Hades because I can't find anything.

Getting lost.

Being completely misunderstood by somebody.

When I'm attempting to participate in a serious conversation and I pause to think about how to word an important and completely relevant idea, and then by the time I've got my idea ready to go, the other people have moved on to another topic.

Really horrible names.

my pet peeves are:
1.people wo invade my personal space(I stick to the 'give people 2 ft. of room' rule)
2.loud yelling
3.social events like pep rallies, or parties
4.like social fantom said, the phone ringing over and over.
5.when i'm not hungry, my family forcing me to eat.
6. I hate it when people gossip in front of me about others( if you don't like the person just tell him/her)
7.Bullies or jerks who's goal in life is to make everyone around them misreable.
