does anybody get particurlarly more angry, when :

-people attempt to start and carry on a conversation with you, 2 inches from your face.
seriously, that just bugs the hell out of me. makes my self conciousness surface, and at such close range, extended amounts of eye contact are inevitable.
i have 2 or 3 friends, who do this very often. it really annoys me, but i dont think there's much i can do about it without offending them.

-when people not following written or 'unwritten' rules, causing you to trip up your routine.
i know normal people are not as fond of sticking to a routine as i am, but when people just do whatever the hell they feel like and it screws me up, i get agitated beyond all reason.

-when people stare at you.
i dont mean, like, when you think someone might be looking at you.
i mean, when you know for a FACT this one person is staring at you. watching you.
every time you turn your head and look at him/her, this one same person is just staring at you. for no real reason.
that pisses me off immensely. thoughts like "wtf is the matter with you, wtf are you lookin at, dont you have anything better to do" start entering my mind and i just want to verbally tear the person a new a**hole.

i dont know why.
i have peculiar pet peeves, just wondering if anyone else out there can relate. lol.

a friend once combined these two and kept staring at me and talking to me really close up on a train. so i turned away from him and he actually got really offended and it turned into a big argument type thing:/. and i also hate it when people stare generally. makes me feel like a weirdo
dunno about verbally tearing them a new a**hole though lol

People getting into my personal space are easy to deal with. The "scary starers" still annoy me, though, because I have to understand the reason. Did I do something? Is there toothpaste on my forehead? What?

Usually I stare somewhere close to them, but not directly at them. This eliminates confrontational reaction, but they still know that I see their every move.

ahah

lol!

my anger at the person is just my inner frustration, wanting to vent.

None of these issues bother me at all, but I have many other things that wind me up in a similar way.

Generally yes, but it depends on the person and the context.



Because you mention a routine that gets messed up, I'm not sure we are thinking about the same type of rules.



How do you know they aren't looking at you because they think you are good looking? Or maybe they can't see very well and are trying to determine if they know you or maybe they aren't even looking at you.

A while back I was out and about and there was this guy who I had happened to be behind crossing the street. We went to different shops and when I came out, had crossed back over and was standing on the corner.

I was going to cross back over but I noticed there was construction in the lot next to the corner and down the ways on the sidewalk there was a sign and some type of obstruction. This was about 80 feet away from me and I didn't have my glasses so I was squinting across the street trying to see down the sidewalk and read the sign to determine if the sidewalk was closed.

The guy apparently thought I was looking at him and started to yell in a very hostile way "YOU GOT SOMETHIN TO SAY THEN SAY IT!"

This was a big 6'4 guy. I'm average as far as women go and he was acting like he wanted to fight me!

I was quite annoyed.

And he wasn't bad looking (though not my type) so I have to wonder how many women he's pushed away with his insecurity.


Don't always assume people are staring at you, or that they are staring at you for a bad reason.

Women have to put up with men staring at them all the time.

I get pissed off at bitter people. So I try and avoid them and unfortunately I have a friend who is bitter. I thought she was over that stuff because she hadn't made posts about being bitter so I thought she had changed but wrong. Last time she IM me, it started out with something like "I hate the world" and I just clicked out of the window and logged off because I didn't want to hear it. She has the inferior complex too and she says things like "It's not fair" and wishes bad things on people who are better than her or have things she doesn't have. Bitter people just make me uncomfortable and I feel disturbed by them by the things they say.

I find myself annoyed with my friends when they get confused by my typos when it's obvious what a word was meant to say. Just use their common sense and they would know what I was trying to say. If I said "I know ob that" it's obvious the word was meant to be"of" because of the sentence. It makes more sense is why and to ask me "what's ob," bah it pisses me off. Don't they have their common sense? I might start asking them "What do you think?" and "What makes more sense?"

I don't care if someone "stares" at me,
sometimes I can have fun with it.

If I am in a bad mood I will pick a big boogar/bogey/crusty dragon
as they are watching and wipe it on a wall or
someplace, or I will hock a loogy very loud and
spit it where they can see it, or burp loudly or
fart if I have to fart, or if I'm eating something
like animal crackers I will go 'BLAAAAA' showing
my yucky chewed crackers on my tongue to disgust them
so they quit looking, but for the most part,
I don't care so I don't pay attention to them.

All three irk me.

I hate it when people stare. It is so rude. If I know someone is staring at me I will sneer and then look at them. A silent way of saying: "I know you have been staring at me and I don't like it."

And I also hate it when I can overhear people making small talk. I cringe inside and want to get away from them.

When people get too close to me, i just back away. Usually if you back away, they'll keep back. They probably realize that i don't like being that close. What's really annoying to me, though, are the people who follow you when you back away, like they just NEED to be right next to you when they're talking to you.. I don't mind so much if someone gets too close once, because i understand that people can misjudge my personal space, it's when they persist with it that it's really annoying. I have to answer customer's questions a lot at work, and i've come across a few of these people. They'll get too close, then i'll step back, then they'll step toward me again, then i'll step back again, then they'll step toward me again, sometimes until i'm pretty much backed up against something. Sometimes i just have to turn completely away and fiddle with whatever item they're asking about while we talk.. or even walk over to the register and stand behind it while we talk, because people generally won't come behind the register if they don't work there. They might think it's rude that i try to get away from them, but i think it's rude that they insist on getting into my space, so i don't really care if they think that.

I also don't like the people who insist that you look at them. If they're standing close, i don't usually like looking at their face.. So if i'm looking to the side, i've come across some people who will wave their hand in the direction you are looking, even if you're responding to them just fine without looking at them. Some particularly annoying people will actually move themselves into whichever direction you are looking. Then you'll look in a different direction, and they'll move into your line of vision again. You'd think they'd get the idea that i don't want to look at them. This is when it's nice to have something else to look at. Whenever i can look at whatever item i'm answering questions about, that usually prevents this.

I get most angry when people don't respect the fact that I like to keep things a certain way. Like, for example, moving things around in the house or dirtying the sink or sitting on my bed and wrinkling the covers really badly.

I tend to back up (often im backing up subconsciously) if im finding someone too close.

I dont often have issues with people staring much but a few weeks ago I was at an appointment and my boyfriend came with me. While the other was talking to me, my boyfriend was staring at me (I guess to gauge my reactions)... I ended up having to put my hand up between him and my face as i couldnt handle it anymore. (He almost got hit in the face).

When I bring my bearded dragon with me which is like all the time unless it is super cold out people are like "Is that real?" No, she's just a manifestation from your mind. I really think what they mean is, "Is that alive?", No, I just like to carry dead lizards around with me.
