things that bug us

what things bug you? [at least enough to write about on these pages]
with me, it is things big and little, the big ones overwhelm but the little things niggle-

*nasty insects buzzing around my head inside my place
*loud irritating noises
*pain
*aging
*the taste/texture of olives and raw tomatoes
*bitter things
*rap music
*mean people
many more.

I don't like being misinterpreted.

mee too. and I am bugged when I find that I have misunderstood somebody as well, such a waste of time.

* When people talk/cough/sneeze loudly
* Incessant, constant noise (like machinery running)
* Dry hands + textured surfaces
* When people suddenly poke/playfully hit me or pretend like they're going to (I don't care so much if I know it's about to happen)
* When people think their perfume serving size = 1 bottle.

TL;DR - I'm no fun.

Tons of things bug me:

- People making negative judgments of others without evidence.
- Music/book/movie/whatever snobs.
- People who complain about others' spelling and grammar.
- People who judge others' quirks.
- People saying that "it doesn't feel like (whatever season)".
- People using the word "nobody" too loosely.
- People assuming that young people know nothing about older technology.
- People walking toward me.
- People walking in front of me.
- People walking behind me.
- Seeing people's underwear or belly buttons.
- Commercials or talking on the radio.
- People being too close to me, sometimes even in the same room as me.
- Talking on the phone.
- Listening to others talk on the phone.
- When people ask other people to repeat what they say, especially if they say, "What?"
- Repetition in general.
- My mom singing snippets of songs from my brother's DVDs.
- My parents not comforting my brother when he's upset.
- My brother randomly yelling.
- My parents not talking enthusiastically enough to my brother.

That was a long list, but I'm sure there's more...

sciatica.
"the $#!+ that won't quit."

People who troll or say nasty and hurtful things to you, and when you tell them they say "it's only a joke" and accuse you of being oversensitive.

People who keep dangerous, vicious dogs as pets, don't keep them properly tied or fenced in, and when they brutally attack an innocent person, it's all that person's fault and the owner says "My sweet wittle baby would never hurt anyone".

Diet/health food Nazis who act as if ordering a cheeseburger is the equivalent of murdering baby bunny rabbits for a living.

brassholes in general [unless they belong to me]

Almost nothing in my case.

Almost nothing except chronic sinusitis.


Autism can be worked around. Sensory issues can be figured. Anxiety and depression can be conquered. Annoying people can be blacklisted or ignored. Social and emotional needs aren't a biological necessity. Injuries can heal. Handicaps can be worked around. Isolation can be appreciated. Burnouts, unhappiness, and exhaustion can pass. Pain can be ignored and pass. Money and items are replaceable. People just come and go. Achievements are not everything, and success is relative. Death is expected and evitable.

But sinusitis? I can't ignore it. I can't work around it. I can't hide it. I can't 'skip' it. It doesn't have a cure, and meds I could only afford can only cover up the allergic parts but not the idiopathic parts. It ruined my perception of sleep and almost cannot sleep and wake well. It disrupts my focus on daily basis. It caused me the majority of my meltdowns. It also caused me amounts of bullying. It'll probably disqualified me to many things. Other people won't ignore it or even tolerate it. On top of that, people can accuse you of being unsanitary, rude, or contagious no matter how you represent yourself. Last but not the least, no one will ever take it seriously -- because it's just sneezing.


So yes. I place that one insignificant issue over everything else.
