Neurotypical Annoyances

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, the title is pretty self-evident. Anything, that NTs do which drives the heck out of you. My is literally related to driving and movement in general.

1.) What's up with driving 15 mph in a 25 mph zone, or 35 in a 45?
2.) Why do you make a left turn(I live in America) when traffic is one second behind you?
3.) What's up with tailgating?
4.) Why do you bike on the road when a sidewalk is available?
5.) Why do you want on the road, and hinder traffic when you can walk in the parking lot and not slow traffic(which should already be slow and if you drive fast through a parking lot ).
6.) Don't look at wares in open air markets when you are DRIVING. Park and get out. You are supposed to be looking at the road
7.) ok, multiple lane switching on the freeway for no good reason should be a moving violation and on the freeway there should be a minimum speed limit, like oh, 50 miles per hour.
8.) As for the violations themselves. How come skirting the shoulder for 100 feet awards the same fine as illegally parking in a tow-away zone!! !! !).

Some places don't allow bikers to bike on the sidewalk, they are to do it in the street. So that's why they do it.
People who tailgate, I think they do it because they are impatient. I just pull over to let them pass when someone does it to me.

Here are mine:


What is it with treating victims like the bad guys and let bullies off?
What is it with making the bad guys the victim when they have a mental condition or something and making the victims the bad guys?
What is it with judging people by what they wear?
Why do some speed?
Why do some people have to smoke in front of me or around me?
Why do lot of people make a big deal out of sex and make it so big in their lives and make it a must have?
What is with hate being asked lot of questions?
Why do people expect others to read minds?
What is it with if you change your point of views or your opinions about something, some people assume you're lying?
What is it with parking in two parking spaces instead of one?

LOL true, that's why I said "people" and left out "NT." How do we know they are NT? They could have ADD or ADHD or schizophrenia or anxiety disorder or bipolar, etc.

So bad roadmanship is exclusively neurotypical?

Most of the behaviors that might grate on other peoples nerves aren't going to be defined by whether someone's NT, AS or anything else. Most potentially irritating traits and actions are universal, some might be more likely to come from one population or another - Some social behaviors exhibited by NTs that annoy ASD people might be one (and vice versa), but generally I don't think the majority of them can be shoved into boxes.

Why do some people think Benny & Joon was filmed inside The Milk Bottle building instead of in the diner next door to it. You can clearly see in one scene where Benny pulls in behind the diner that they are two separate buildings?

Why do some with disabilties accuse other people with disabilties faking it?
Why do people sue for their own stupidity?
Why do people sue for something that was their own fault?

Lot of driving annoyances here, my mother would have a lot to add to this thread! She is an excellent driver and it annoys the hell out of her when people do stupid things on the road. The top few things I've heard her complain about include:

- people who turn without indicating
- people who just cut out in front of you
- people in 4x4s who think that just cos they have a big car, they can do what they like
- people talking on phones while driving
- people J-walking at a snail's pace
- people who take up more than one parking space just cos they can't be arsed to park properly

Any of the above actions is likely to cause her utter the words "wassock", "pillock", or, if they did something particularly asinine, something much worse.

I will write a list of things that annoy me about NTs in general soon.

Oh yes slow walkers annoy me in general.

Just one: Making fun of disabilities, race, sexual orientation and rape.
I don't think anyone on the spectrum would, but I keep coming across NT's that think that is funny, especially the last one. You would have to be a sick bastard to find that funny.

People who are ignorant about fetishes and are prejudice about it
People who assume adult babies are pedophiles
Ignorance really really gets on my nerves and they don't listen when you correct them

Some of my pet annoyances about people in general (unless they have it branded on their foreheads, I really don't think there's any way to tell the NTs from the pack!) are:

1. People who take up the shopping aisle with their trolley, staring mindlessly at the products and totally oblivious to anyone else trying to manoeuver a trolley through the impossibly small aisles.
2. Designers of supermarket aisles, who insist on making them too small for two trolleys to comfortably pass through in the event of such a shopper as in 1. clogging the system.
3. People who walk higgledy-piggledy all over the sidewalk at a snail's pace without any intention of getting out of anyone's way (I walk really fast and I hate the lack of order and logic generally in pedestrians. I think there should be a rule: "Keep Left, Pass Right!" just like on the road and the opposite for those of you that drive on the wrong side of the road lol! I would like to get a t-shirt printed in large neon letters "KEEP LEFT" on the front and "...Or I'll f***ing make you!" on the back!! !! !)

Littering
Owners not picking up their dog s**t
Parents letting their kids run wild and be spoiled brats

When I was in high school, I had to hear kids complain about using the bathroom. Why didn't they go before? Just go before their next class starts so they wouldn't have to go during class time and then complain they have to go because we have a lock down in our school or the teacher doesn't let them leave for some reason

People taking humor seriously
"ret*d" becoming a bad word because they just had to let a**holes take over it. What's next? "Autistic" because some dumb asses use that as an insult too I've heard.
Crumbs on the counter top
bf not picking up after himself and doing things right
People leaving my questions unanswered
Not being given a direct answer
Saying AS isn't a form of autism.
People not being flexible while I am being flexible
Mother telling me how to live my life
Rule breakers
Bikers not moving over to the side of the road to let cars by
