Silly pet hate

Post Reply New Topic

My pet hate are my neighbors that live in the apartment ubove my head, their walking sound like stomping & I can hear banging too.

I really hated that too when I lived in my old apartment. They would also get drunk, blast loud music late at night, and it would sound like they were pile-driving each other into the floor above me!

But now that I live upstairs I worry sometimes that people below can hear me doing stuff. But I haven't gotten any complaints.

I live in a townhouse apartment & have neighbors on both sides. The ones on one side sometimes yell cuz the guy is hard of hearing & they bang things sometimes. The neighbors on the other side have a daughter & she sometimes bangs things playing & she sometimes crys a lot & the guy yells stuff at her like "Shut up you f#cking little b!tch" which just makes her cry even more.

People saying "sshh" to me. I don't know why, I just find it patronizing. After I am ssshh'd, I have a nauseous sensation in my throat for about 10 minutes, and then I analyze in my head what I should have done or said to avoid being sssh'd.

I hate it when people assume all herbivores are gentle and peaceful while all carnivores are vicious and cruel. Hello, sweet friendly dogs and soft adorable cats are meat eaters! Bulls are plant eaters. Rhinos are plant eaters. Hippos are also plant eaters and they kill more people in Africa than any meat eating animal ever does.

Ugh. I hate the feel of wood on my teeth! I can't stand popsicle sticks. Just thinking about it makes my mouth cringe.

What burns me up is these people at my college who sit in this area with benches and tables and constantly smoke even though it's a no smoking area. I tell them something about it, and then they give me this attitude like I gave them the finger or something. I'm just trying to enjoy my lunch without having to breathe tobacco fumes from people who shouldn't be smoking anyway.

I also hate it when people assume that just because an animal is cute that it most must also be harmless. I even once read about a student at a zoo in Asia (I don't know how old he was, I'm guessing he was a teenager), who tried to hug a panda bear because it looked so sweet and cuddly. The panda was frightened and attacked him, and he got hurt. He said afterwards that he learned his lesson not to go around squeezing unfamiliar animals just because they look cute.

Heck, even little bunny rabbits aren't as docile and innocent as they appear.

Upstairs noise is my #1 that I really hate, I'm VERY SENSITIVE to noise, it hurt my ears soooo much if it toooo loud, I can't help yelling shut up, but there is good news, there is less noise now, I hear noises in my living room, my bedroom & sometimes in my bathroom, I hear the toilet & the shower, the water pressure is not too good for the shower, I have a water heater, I don't like it, it get toooo cold for me even when it's in the 80s. I don't hear noises in my living room anymore unless they are vacuuming, I hear the noise in my bedroom. My sister is #2.

In my first apartment building, I lived on the third floor, big mistake! I have psoriasis, I also can have a sensitive stomach, it got TOOOOOO HOT in the summer, I kept throwing up ALOT! My sunscreen became sunscreen soup. I REALLY HATE it, but I loved it too, it was my first apartment, I was soooo excited, it also motivated me to go out twice a day, my apartment wasn't bad all the time. It felt like living in a hotel, the apartment building had 32 apartments. My second apartment was the first floor, I wanted to move out of the building, but I didn't find an apartment in time. I heard noises upstairs too, a woman & her teenage son lived over my head, he made alot of noise, it sounded like he was wrestling, his friends came over alot.

For some reason I hate it when characters in books/TV lose their appetites at things. It just seems so cliche, and it often happens at the most small, insignificant events.

I also hate with a passion when speakers judge the whole audience for not responding to them. Or anything that treats a group of people as a monolith rather than as individuals.

And when people say that things like CDs or newspapers are old-fashioned or that "nobody" uses them anymore.

People who feel the need to correct you when you say that Frankenstein was the monster. We KNOW that Frankenstein was the scientist, okay? We've heard this a million times and we don't need to hear it again.

Also, people who say that the things in Alanis Morrisette's song aren't ironic.

I could go on...

Me too, one of the primary reasons I'm moving out. It's the blatant disregard that borders of sociopathy from my perspective - people have stereos or stupid video games on subwoofers blaring at midnight, or they're singing or screaming into the phone - how do they imagine no one hears this? That is isn't disturbing to others who want to sleep, or even just watch something of their own or read? Do they think people want to listen to their secondhand noise pollution? That they're enjoying it?
Grr.
More silly pet hates - people who hog the path and walk very slowly, three abreast, so no one else can get past, or the same people who get in a car and drive below the speed limit in the overtaking lane so as to hold up traffic for miles. I walk very quickly, and I habitually speed. Get the hell out of the way.

Clothing that is sold new, in shops, that is faded, creased, ripped, frayed, holed, and even fake-dirty.
A street scab like me is determined to avoid looking this way, when trendy types who can afford all the new clothes they like are actually trying to look homeless.

I can't stand it when people whistle. It doesn't matter if they do it well or not.

I was taught that chewing gum is an unrefined and unattractive habit, and that notion has stuck with me. I see people chewing gum and I think of cows or other ruminants.
Karma: My son, also on the spectrum, has gone through every chewing item ever put on the market, till finally his therapist just said to let him chew gum, because otherwise he will bite his nails (all 20 if them) till they bleed...

I don't like it when people use body language to tell me that I have broken a social rule. I'd prefer that they just straight up TELL ME that I broke the rule. It's kind of aspie-related, but this is an autism forum.

I hope they didn't kill the panda, people kill animals if they attacked them, but it not the animal fault, it's the people fault.

People still use CDs & read newspapers, I know people that still use VCRS, mostly DVR/VCR players. My grandmother use the internet, but she need help with the internet, she still have a basic cell phone. All people are not the same. People still use laptops, I still want a laptop.

Me too! I never met anyone who feels like this! Whenever I eat a popsicle, for the rest of the day and possibly even the next day, I get these sudden shivers where I think of the feel of the wood against my teeth. Weird! I don't have a lot of problems with touch, but popsicle sticks get to me for some reason.
