But what is "winter"? How does something "feel like winter"? Isn't winter just a time of year? There goes my literal mind again. :D

I understand that I'm not knowledgeable about certain technologies. I just don't like when people say that all younger people don't know about CDs or something. Or when people imply that no one uses them anymore.

In most areas above the Tropic of Cancer below the Tropic of Capricorn, there is a discernible difference between "winter" and "summer" weather, at least.

In the Tropics, of course, "winter weather" is almost always rare or nonexistent.

In common parlance, "winter weather" means cold, snow, ice, temperatures below about plus 5 Celsius, especially when it's windy. It is affects a person's state of mind because the sun rises late, and sets early, yielding less daylight during the astronomical "winter months." (that would be December to March in the Northern Hemisphere; June to September in the Southern Hemisphere).

Of course, "winter weather" could occur outside of astronomical "winter."

Infants screeching, the whiny high-pitched voices of small children in general.

People talking about autism as if it's a disease, that is ruins lives, and that it must be cured no matter what the cost.

Using autism as an insult.

Quack doctor "cures" for autism and real diseases in general.

Auti$im $peaks.

The monthly curse.

People who act like women should all be like the Stepford Wives and are frightened by any female who is even somewhat independent or successful.

People with no skill or talent making millions of dollars for doing next to nothing.

Motorcycles or cars racing down the road at high speeds past my apartment late at night. It's especially bad when I'm drifting off to sleep and the noise nearly gives me a heart attack. Maybe it *will* give a heart attack and kill me one day. Wearing noise-canceling headphones or earplugs all night is uncomfortable and painful. :(

People believing you're only smart if you're good at math and logic. If you're good at reading and writing, or even art but are bad at math they think you're stupid.

Other women who act like not being married or having children makes you a complete and total failure.

Cell phones.

People texting when driving or even crossing the street. They're actually putting signs now that have silhouettes of pedestrians texting. And I worry sometimes that just listening to music might distract me.

Being next in line at the store and it takes forever because the cashier starts chatting it up with whoever is in front of me.

Long, stupid commercials.

Indeed. To be honest, I'm not sure why this annoys me so much. Maybe it has to do with the illogicality - I tend to get annoyed by faulty logic. But though "we haven't had a winter this year" is quite illogical (there's a winter every year!), "it doesn't feel like winter" is less so. Maybe it's just that I started out being annoyed by the former, but it broadened so that any similar comment annoyed me. That's happened to me with other things before.

In movies when people are driving and having a conversation with a passenger, they keep looking at the passenger the whole time instead of watching the road. They would crash.

Texting. It is just unbelievably frustrating.

Shoes that squeak, people who don't pick their feet up while they're wearing shoes that squeak. Makes me want to scream.

People who interrupt me while I'm clearly involved with something, and then start talking to me. Like while I'm reading or playing my guitar or working on something. Generally, I don't want to talk. If I'm in the middle of something, I definitely don't want to talk.
Although I guess the last one isn't so odd.

When people put their windscreen wipers on and they are too fast, I like cars to struggle a little bit like I do when water gets in my eyes, I can't blink too fast or I think I'm taking pictures through someone else's eyes.

I get so annoyed when I see advertisements for pay-day & car title loans. They charge in excess of 180+% interest. I think it is wrong on so many levels when people take advantage of someone who needs money immediately. I don't see how these people can look in the mirror at themselves.

- people coming unnecessarily close to me when there is the option of maintaining personal space. This includes people taking a walking route from one place to another past me which brings them too close when another route would not have, or people in supermarkets who lean across me to get at items, instead of moving away & getting something else until I was finished in the space (usually a matter of seconds) before moving in
- coincidences that always seem to end up with people/cars going by right when I'm doing things I'd rather not be watched doing (struggling with heavy things or grocery bags, for example) when two minutes before or after would have meant no one watching

Pet food commercials are the only ones that don't annoy me. I sang the "Meow, meow, meow, meow" jingle to my cats, too. I have seen some very nice pet food ads. My favorite was one for "Good Life" cat food. There was a beautiful Siamese cat in that ad who bore a striking resemblance to one of my feral cats, a beautiful Snowshoe Siamese.



Pet food commercials *used* to not annoy me, until they started to blatantly give out the message that if you don't feed your pet their product, you're a terrible owner and your pet is going to die prematurely. In fact commercials in North America ether do nothing but insult you or try to send you on a guilt trip for buying a rival product, which in the US they now come right out and say the actual name of it.

-People telling me to stop moaning when I'm just expressing my feelings in a matter-of-fact way

-People who assume Aspies feel no empathy

-People who say ADHD doesn't exist

-People saying "grow up", as it feels like a personal attack to me

I get very upset when I know a trip to a mall is upcoming. It brings back bad memories.

People who chew gum with their mouth open, lip smacking and any audible chewing noises

Waiting in a line someone will stand too close. I move away slightly and they AGAIN take a step closer.

I order one medium fry at the drive through or one coffee and they ask “is that everything?” Yes it is everything

Headlights in my rearview mirror, bright sunlight and bright lights in general really.
