What drives us crazy? Why? Under what circumstances?
HOW ABOUT the old lady at the supermarket checkout, or worse...the BAGGER...who LICKS their finger as they grab me a bag for my groceries!?! Or licks finger to sort out money for change they are about to hand me?!? Or ANYONE who licks their thumb to turn pages?!?
HOW ABOUT the potential employer that promises to call you back and not play phone tag with you...and never conacts you...only to leave you to find out that they "simply got too busy?!"
HOW ABOUT trying to read while other people are in the room, talking, and you find yourself re-reading the last 2-3 sentences because you didn't get what you read, hearing the talkers?!?
HOW ABOUT seeing a very attractive woman in line in front of you, at least, attractive from behind...until, out of curiosity you work your way up to see her face...only to find yourself thinking --"hello Mr. Ed?!?"
HOW ABOUT the person in the bathroom who comes out of the stall and does not wash his hands...and you can only pray its not an employee?!?

It drives me mad when people infer I've intended them a foul by my actions, or otherwise when they overlay 'some' "thing' has happened, when in fact, it has not.

People with bad perceptions, I suppose.

I don't fit the Aspie stereotype of being a "computer nerd," and thus I get frustrated when I follow all of the directions on the computer and it won't allow me to do what I want to do on there (this happened yesterday with my printing software). Mostly it's my computer not obeying my commands after I followed the directions. Arrogant people is another one. Also, even though I live in a predominantly "liberal" town, I've nevertheless met some people who wanted to "cure" me. One final thing that gets to me is when those same people try to tell me if I believe in Chrsit I'll be fine. I am a semi-practicing Theravada Buddhist and it frustrates me when I hear that if I dedicate my life to God or Chrsit then he'll help my AS problem. At least that what one person has said.

Finding out how ignorant I am the older I become, and yet how many more questions I have....

intolerance

negative, misinformed judgements of people

paranoia

being told that I 'think too much'
