Discussion What is Something That Really Annoys You But Doesn’t Bother Most People?

[LONE WOLF.]

Yes, he's got the face of a staffie and the ears of a doberman... it was the ears that made me think he isn't full staffie. But whatever he is, he's your best friend and isn't a best friend all we need!

I've got two best friends, Archie is 13, and Reggie who's 12, both Patterdale terriers.

Max sends a friendly Woof to Archie and another to Reggie and a special Woof to You and l'm sending a hug:)

I have misophonia, specifically around noises people make (chewing, mouth breathing, throat clearing, coughing, etc.) Most of the noises that normal people wouldn't even notice are unbearably annoying to me. Things like scraping paper/cardboard are horrible too.

Music. Not all the time but in enough situations that it seems a little odd. I just can't with noise in the environment. Might be an ASD thing, who knows.

Wow, really? That's so interesting, music is the one things that calms me right down. I definitely agree with you on environmental noises, I find them distracting.

Oh noo! I'm sorry to hear that. That's sounds awful. I don't quite know how that affects you, but I can kind of understand the irritation surrounding it- I have tinnitus.

People talking loudly, screaming or shrieking. Incessantly barking dogs (I love dogs just not incessant barking)

When I used to drive people going way under speed limit got me upset especially if you couldn't pass. I didn't tail them because I know some people do it on purpose if you do that.

And please don't hate me for this one but the word y'all....I think it's more of an American word though?

People on the motorway that hog the middle lane when the road is empty.

I can definitely agree, loud talkers are irritating- we don't need to know what you're talking about. Ha!

I see your slow drivers, and raise you, slow drivers in the fast lane. Ugh. They HAVE to be doing that on purpose.

North American, yes.

 

[NotAnObjectOfKnowlej]

Ignorance!
I'm not a genius but I just dislike people who never wonder about the mysteries of life and the universe! I mean, just existing is nearly impossible! We beat millions of other spermatozoids in order to be born! WTF! And people are just like... "Okay. I exist. Gotta find a husband/wife, have children, work a lot, and die."

*pukes after typing*

This is so relatable. Although, the annoyance sometimes transforms into an intense spiral of feeling inferior because these ignorant, worldly dudes seem to be absolutely living the happy life. Ignorance is mostly bliss, I guess.

A sad & unfortunate truth.

Exactly! It's as if "being a basic and kinda fool person" is the path to happiness or maybe, they think they're happy and such a thing doesn't exist?

I wonder if we're superior or inferior in comparison to "them"

The ability to live blissfully unaware... Oh, some days I wish to be back in the Matrix.

Regime.

(If it gets to you, too, I don't have to explain.)

Do you practice Buddhism? It has always interested me.

The new electronic doors on trains, they don't have openable windows and it makes me feel claustrophobic.

Aww, that's an unfortunate change. Sorry to hear you feel claustrophobic, must make travelling feel like a chore.

It annoys me when someone rings at my door. I never answer :P

 

[Donk]

well done steak. what a waste of a juicy piece of meat. might as well chew on rubber.

 

[NumbItAll]

Not sure whether this is bothersome to most people, but autoplay videos. I do NOT want some annoying fucking piece of shit video playing any time I click on an article or something. It is the most invasive and obnoxious thing imaginable. Therefore, I've been running with an HTML5 autoplay blocker extension for years. I WILL DECIDE WHAT VIDEOS TO WATCH AND WHEN!!!

Another one is candles, incense, cologne, perfume, and other such smells. Sure it can smell nice, but it's often way too strong and lasts way too long and gets annoying really quick. Also why the fuck do people douse themselves in perfume/cologne to the point that I need a respirator mask just to pass by them?!?!

Can't stand children. They're dumb and annoying and always in the way. Then they grow up to be asshole adults and create more annoying people. Fuck off!!!

You would have hated me then. I only recently got to medium & some days medium well is all I can muster.

I'm really picky with foods & textures.

Ugh! I second that, especially when they take up half the screen or make you watch ads before they let you pause it. Smart thinking on the blocker.

Yup, Second that! People who douse themselves in cologne or strong sents, just make me think of middle school boys. Just shower.

Omg, you really don't like kids.

Wallpaper with patterns. Used to give me nightmares.

What? Whoa...I'm sorry that you had to go through that. That must have made things difficult for you, especially with its (wallpaper) prevalence in earlier years.

Very difficult considering I grew up in the 70s and 80s.

The incessant beeping of a smoke alarm in need of new batteries.

Yes! This!

Also, I'm digging your name, I just started Ozark the other day.

I can't stand false hope or encouraging platitudes, even if someone had good intentions behind it. I guess for most people it's like a nicety and they love (and want) to hear it. However, for me, it's just a nuisance and does me no good.

Thank you! I agree. Like, I get sometimes people don't know what to say, but I'll take the silence. Sometimes nothing needs to be said.

 

[badgame]

I think the biggest one for me is bodily fluids/bodily functions. But to say that I'm 'annoyed' by them is a MASSIVE understatement

Its one of those things stemming from trauma that make me dread being alive bc theres no way I can opt out of needing to go to the bathroom

Also seeing 'inspirational' posts like you're not gonna magically pull me out of depression and make my ideations go away so stop churning out those trite 'aesthetic' graphics then patting youself on the back thinking youre a mental health ally
