Odd things that you make you feel irrationally angry?

I like Chris too, and I'm in awe of his vast knowledge in his field -- although I don't always agree with a couple of his theories.

Pet food commercials are the only ones that don't annoy me. I sang the "Meow, meow, meow, meow" jingle to my cats, too. I have seen some very nice pet food ads. My favorite was one for "Good Life" cat food. There was a beautiful Siamese cat in that ad who bore a striking resemblance to one of my feral cats, a beautiful Snowshoe Siamese.

That Meow song was really cute, yeah! A lot of the pet related ones are quite fun.

There was one US commercial that was unbelievably annoying during the 90s (I don't know if it's still running). It was a headache medication called "Head On."

The commercial had the narrator's voice repeating "Head On! Apply directly to the forehead! Head On! Apply directory to the forehead!" Over and over. AAAAGGH!

You can't measure anger

There is no inherent, objective correct amount of anger to any given situation

Having said that,

Anger when someone has the nerve to ask are you a boy or girl. Anger when someone touches me.

Anger when someone has a morally innocent lil attitude. But that is almost everyone almost all the time

Mispronounced or misspelled words, especially names-I hate it when people don't bother to ask how other people's names are pronounced. It annoys me because I have a long name that is frequently mispronounced. I am very sensitive about not doing that to anyone else.

I'm the same, IstominFan.

I have a name that is slightly uncommon but certainly not unheard of, yet people mispronounce it constantly, opting to call me a completely different name that sounds similar but is NOT my name! I currently have an acquaintance who has been chatting to me for years now a couple of times a week, and he still calls me this other name, and I still correct him. . .

I've had this all my life, even from teachers in school.

I've seen heated arguments online about people caring if their name is either spoken incorrectly or spelled incorrectly by others on a regular basis, with other people scorning them and saying it doesn't matter.

I happen to believe it does matter -- a person's name, and getting it right instead of not even caring if they do or not, is about basic, simple manners and respect.

If I'm sitting at a table and someone else bumps my feet, I'm instantly irrationally furious.

Yeah, it's kind of odd.

I've never liked the sound of running water indoors, such as someone pouring a drink or the washing machine. I'm fine hearing a stream outdoors and love other natural sounds like the sea and the rain... I don't like the noises plumbing sometimes makes when one turns a tap on, either.

I have heard that many people on the spectrum are terrified of flushing toilets, and I can see why. Some of them flush so loud they make you want to run out of the bathroom.

I was terrified of the toilet flushing when I was a child! I had to run as fast as I could out of the bathroom after flushing. I got over it at some point and it doesn't bother me at all now, but it was very frightening to me as a kid.

At this present?
Being reminded of several things I already DID knew I'm supposed to do. More so if it's something I don't like doing.
Especially when it comes to routine stuffs of hygiene, medicines, chores, bringing necessities like umbrellas, things I 'have' to like going to a shade because it's too hot or it rains, and very especially about bringing a hanky or a towel anywhere I go.

Personal talks about money and business. I don't like it.

Just people who ought they thought who I'm, what I feel, what I think, are looking for things that aren't there, and seriously dead wrong or unfunnily accusing.


And, maybe always will be -- Sneezing for more than 4-5 times in a row.

Something recent for me is that I have some people in my life who are practically complete strangers, but when they run into me they are giving me unsolicited advice about a new enterprise in my life. I now bitterly regret ever sharing news of this project with them.

I shared the news as strictly on the basis of "This is something new and exciting I'm doing lately and it's going well and I'm happy and excited, check it out if you like!"

That was the spirit in which I told these people about this thing I'm doing.

Now. . . .EVERY time they see me, they ask how it's going.

Okay, you might be thinking what's wrong with that? Just a polite question.

But one person makes it seem like if my answer does not contain news of actual progress, then I'm failing. Realistically there is NOT going to be a stunning amount of progress every few days, but this is the frequency with which this person asks, and I'm hating it.

The other person asks how it's going and even when I say, with happy smile and lots of enthusiasm that it's actually going great, this person starts handing out tips and advice as if it's all going in the toilet! Seriously, she stands there telling me what I need to do.

I never. Even. Asked.

I never even said anything like oooh it's not going well, complain complain worry worry.

Yet she hands out completely unasked for advice, even though this particular thing is the one area of my life that IS going just fine and I'm not seeking help.

It's getting on my LAAAAST NERRRRRRVE.

the sounds people make while eating

People "checking on me" and pretending that they're just being nice (being worried about me doesn't make us friends. My real friends don't go around checking on me like I'm a child.) Or when I'm trying to be friendly and someone responds sarcastically friendly like, "oh heyyy! GREAT to see you I'm having a crap day how are YOU!?". And popping clicking and tapping/snapping noises, especially made by people's mouths. Certain "baby voice" imitations, and when people say "it was just a joke." When they were obviously teasing me and they knew it would upset me but acting like it's my fault for reacting the way they KNEW I would.
