What do you find annoying/disconcerting in other people?

Post Reply New Topic

Cruelty in all forms creeps me out. Seeing people drunk can be frightening even if they're friendly drunks. Loud music, especially electric guitars, stunts my ability to function. I also don't like selfish or shallow people.

I'm very cuddly, though. If it were up to me, I'd pile up with friends everywhere I went. I don't know how typical that is.

People are too afraid to be themselves, these days. They have to be exactly like their same sex, same age peers. I mean, if you let a particular group/perfomer, and or time, let the world know. Dare to be different...be yourself.

This one is quite similar to PunkyKat's, but for me it's when people that send birthday cards with dressed up chimps in doing dumb things, or something similar. My dad sent my mum one like that for her birthday the other week, it has a picture of a chimp smiling (I say "smiling" it was false and he looked more nervous than anything because he had his teeth showing, happy chimps have open mouths!) and on the inside of the card he's standing in a birthday parcel. I'm like what is this??? I'd much rather see a card with a photograph where they're using tools or socialising or something, not dressed up and grinning!

I find people annoying when they are really depressing and tell me alllllll their problems and basically bringing the mood right down in every conversation, I somehow seem to attract these depressing f***s in droves.

I hate that they just don't get it.

Pfff, where to start? People generally annoy me quite a lot and I dislike so many things people do, such as...

- I hate when people are mean/cruel to other people, especially when the other person hasn't done anything to do them or can't defend themselves well.
- I hate when people are cruel to animals or enjoy hunting them or want to ban/eliminate them. I dislike people who hate animals.
- I dislike when people are judgemental, narrow-minded and prejudiced.
- I dislike when people are dishonest and lie or manipulate, especially when it causes hurt feelings or problems for someone else.
- I dislike when people are being really loud in public and hanging out together in loud groups.
- I dislike drunk people. Their behavior is usually annoying and silly and sometimes dangerous.
- I find attention-whores annoying.

Blowhards. People who say ignorant judgemental things and act like they know everything without having a single rational argument to back themselves up. I just hate people who are both stupid and conceited in general. I get so emotionally frazzled trying to talk to such people that I have to get away before I have a complete meltdown and start choking the living crap out of them.

I also get annoyed by loud overly happy people. The women who squawk and squeal and laugh like hyenas at the bar. The noise literally makes my brain hurt. Loud obnoxious people really piss me off. It's like they don't even acknowledge my existence or notice the fact that they are literally torturing me.

Whenever I want to be left alone and people try to interact with me, but when I'm in the mood for social interaction, no one tries to interact with me.

i'll despise people who lack conscientiousness. i spend a fair amount of time thinking about how my actions affect others and maybe that's because i often find myself negatively affected by others or simply because i've spent years paying close attention to the way i behave.

part and parcel with an overall failure to be conscientious are people who don't recognize physical boundaries just because it makes them feel good. you know, those people who decide to touch you five seconds after they meet you because that's how they establish relationships. as far as cultures go, americans are pretty touchy feely but i think most people would draw the line at being hugged or kissed by someone they've literally just met.

i'm also adding cruelty to my list. it always shocks me that casual cruelty seems to have become a way of life for so many people. respecting others seems to be a dying concept and yes, all too often i meet people who think that animals are just like toys and that hurting them doesn't really matter.

People who spit in public.
People who play their music loudly on public transport.
Antisocial personality disorder and all it entails.
People on cocaine.

I have more of a problem with groups than with individuals.

People who eat and/or breathe noisily near me (this is more my problem than theirs as they probably can't help it - the breathing at any rate); who sit directly behind me or next to me when there are plenty of other seats available; people who use swearing as a form of punctuation; who watch reality tv shows and assume I watch them too and am interested in hearing them talk about them; who lie, including exaggerating for effect to the degree that they have distorted the events they are relating; who lack personal integrity; ...

I find the bull-headed nature of people both autistic and NT to be annoying especially when you are speaking your opinion on something. I have found a lot of people to assume there scientific theories to be next to godliness---like they are superior. That is annoying. I can't stand people talking down to others.

Lets see... this will be a long list, shown in no particular order below. I agree with almost all of the above and am especially annoyed by the following:

1) Dishonesty of any kind, lies, hypocrisy, unloyalty as well as the notion that it is acceptable and even desirable, promise breakers... "break the deal and face the wheel".

2) Ignorance. I am well known for having a very low tolerance for ignorance. And by ignorance I do not mean lack of knowledge or awareness along with an effort to learn the truth (I am always a close friend to those people), but rather lack of knowledge or awareness along with no effort or desire to learn the truth.

3) Corporate crookery of all kinds and the executives that promote it, and it seems to be universal these days. BP is only one example.

4) Jocks, loud people, overly opinionated people, cynical people and pompous high brows.

5) Politicians, Republicans, Pitbull Palin, bigots, religious fanatics and other similar brain-dead idiots.

6) Judgmental cynics who seek to impose their views and wishes upon others.

7) People who act like they are better than others (and I have censored my own colorful description here) or who act like they are God's gift to the world.

The above item also includes all TV commercials (and all advertising as a whole). I have a standard practice that if they advertise it, then I refuse to buy it if at all avoidable. This also includes TV newscasters who waste everybody's time while endlessly talking about how much they respect people's time and are helping everybody with "news you can use". In the process the hypocrites have just wasted another 5 to 10 minutes of my time with their empty boasting. I got so disgusted with commercials and such nonsense that I quit watching all broadcast TV 3 years (no cable or satellite either) except for the national news... and that is seldom good news these days.

8) People who behave as if the whole world agrees with their narrow opinion in order to enhance their own weak self image.

9) People who talk and talk endlessly just to make noise without ever saying anything. My work site once had a highly appropriate sign on the wall that read, "Ensure that brain is in gear before engaging mouth".

10) People who block the way while shoving an ear dildo (cellphone) into the side of their head... whether in a store, in traffic or wherever. One day I was at the bank when some woman was yapping away in line so I just walked right around her with no hesitation and took my place in line ahead of her. After all, she was there to talk and not to do her banking. She said nothing to me but asked the clown on the other end of the line about it, saying, "what's going on here... I don't understand this... the line is moving around me". That's what happens when you believe that the world revolves around incessant talk.

11) Noise of many kinds that you cannot avoid. Leaf blowers (doesn't anybody use rakes and brooms anymore). Boombox noise and especially highly dynamic, highly penetrating boomy sounds. Whoompa boxes in cars at the stoplight or in the apartment driveway at 3 AM. Background noise, sound effects and music in movies and TV shows that is louder than the dialog (even in the ultra-conservative BBC's documentaries). In the 1931 horror classic "Dracula", Bela Lugosi could not understand a single word of English at the time and yet you can clearly understand every last word that he says (he learned English later). This is no longer true at all with many of today's media productions.

And there are bound to be a few more too.
