Assumptions, presumptions, prejudice, and overall ignorance. People who practice these things should be locked in their single-wides and given only basic cable.

Pushy, rude people at the store... blocking the whole aisle visiting with others, or slowly inspecting everything before putting it in their cart... cutting in front of me, cutting me off... nearly smashing into me or my cart before realizing I am even there. Being bullied, judged, criticized, slandered or insulted. Being wrongly accused (of or for something I didn't do). Being interrupted. People talking through music, movies or TV shows I'm trying to watch / listen to, or when I'm trying to read something. Someone being angry / upset with me, but won't tell me why.

crowded buses... thats why i walk or take my little motorbike everywhere... i can deal with trains at a push if i can find a seat by myself. am same when i go to the gym, in changing area I like room to get ready, hate it when its crowded... i wait until its cleared out a little.. i get so damn angry when I'm crowded to the point i wanna lash out. it kinda scares me though because I'm a big muscular guy (think the new thor movie dude.. yes long hair and beard an all)

People mispronouncing words, my mother does it all the time, she is getting better though. but my stepfather used to do it regularly... he was a true idiot. binoculars to him were pinoculars. and he did it with other words all the time while thinking he was appearing clever and worldly... i just wanted to slap him hard!

stupid people... god there is no excuse for being a moron. especially ignorant ones... people like you got on the jerry springer, or jeremy kyle show (I'm in uk. and fellow uk residents will know who he is) the whole white trash, or chav type. i just want to exterminate them, its like de-evolution not evolution... survival of the fittest... well if thats the case and way world is going... we are doomed, all doomed! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH just sterilise and shoot them now! theres a world out there, don't they want to learn.... damn I'm sooo angry even thinking about them. i need a t-shirt made with "i see stupid people" on it.

People spitting in the street, its gross, its completely repugnant, feel like making them go lick up there own mess if it would make me retch! also pavement pizza's (puke) theres no need! just vile... I'm gagging at the thought.

Statements such as this. It would be helpful if instead of the person whining that another person is whining they would show said person how to make their lives better, teach them what way they're supposed to go and why. Telling a person life is unfair is vague and ambigious because the word fair has different meanings with different contexts.

People who laugh at disabled children. There was one video on youtube where a little girl with a very painful-looking neck deformity was singing and dancing into her camera, just trying to be cheerful in what is probably a life of torture, and there were so many people making fun of her in the comments that she or her family took the video down. Then other people re-uploaded it, to continue laughing at her. Literally thousands of people found her misfortune absolutely hilarious.

The particular kind of anger and hate that this kind of thing invokes is so intense that it actually feels pretty creepy.


Noise is also a big deal, of course, but that's usually a given, with autism.

People chewing.

Especially my mom. She doesn't care that I can't stand it either.

The trains here have quiet carriages. I hate it when people talk loudly in it or bring babies/toddlers into them (I have nothing against small children apart from their loudness, but I go into the quiet carriage because getting a migraine from sensory overload whenever I go out gets old fast). I don't see it as irrational to be angry at people who are causing me pain in a place that's meant to be quiet, though.

Statements such as this. I have seen others make a similar statement. The very nature of this statement has assumptions, presumptions, predjudice, and overall ignorance as well towards those who have assumptions, presumptions, predjudice, and overall ignorance. There have been those who have made statements such as this

I have seen others make this similar statement as well. Those who hold both of these beliefs at the same time at true are definitely not predjudiced towards inconsistency. Those who make this statement are prejudiced against whiners and complainers. If they whine and complain against whiners why would it not be unsound to assume that they are prejudiced themselves? Why can't it be sound that those who make these statements have assumptions and make presumptions themselves? How do people who make such statements truly know that people who whine are capable of making their lives better without help whatsoever? Why can't we finally conclude that since that people who make inconsistencies such as these may have some ignorance themselves?

Right Wing Talk radio, particularly when they start talking about "freedom." Of course, they only mean "economic freedom" ie the freedom for businesses to pollute and avoid worker saftey laws, to not pay for Social Security and Medicare, even when a lot of them are receiving benefits etc.
I'm also half Japanese, but can pass as Latina, and people are always asking me "have you been in theis country long?"-I've been here since I was a zygote!

haha. If the person walking in front of me is keeping a pace slower than my own, I immediately develop an intense desire to push them or knock them down. In order to not do this, I typically bounce up and down on my heel as I walk to calm my anxiety.


Oh, yes, I recognize that.

One thing that really irks me is whistling. For some reason, people like to whistle a few notes over, and over, and over again, off key, and at too high a pitch.

Another thing that really bothers me is someone saying that I'm wrong, when I'm not.

I've realised that I get irrationally angry about stuff like this too. Like when people preach about tolerance, while simultaneously being intolerant of the views of the people they are preaching to.

Tolerance of certain things is good to encourage, and it's very pedantic to get annoyed by this subtle hypocrisy, but still, it makes me rage.

It's closely tied to another anger of mine, at people presenting their subjective bias as objective fact, and claiming that its neutrality makes it more valid than the bias of others, when in reality there is no such neutrality, and these champions of objectivity are in fact simply too ignorant to perceive the total subjectivity of their own beliefs.

I do try to be as objective as I can but I have biases and predjudices myself. All I truly know is that I know nothing at all. This is why I have more questions than answers. I think of trying to seek objective truth as a dynamic and integrating process. I see truth as static and subjective. I see the process of seeking the answer itself as the answer. I see the process and the actual answer as one. I hope you understand what I am saying.

There are lots of little things that annoy me and just as many that make me anxious but the one thing that instantly makes me furiously angry is getting (physically) hurt - banging my head for example or falling over.

I'm normally polite and mild-mannered to a fault but if I've been hurt (or I've hurt myself) I will let fly (verbally) at anyone nearby.

I think it's because the instinctive reaction of my parents/family was to laugh when I got hurt when I was growing up. For some reason me hitting my head was especially funny.

I guess I'm trying to stamp the laughter out by becoming shouty.
