I'll tell you what I find highly annoying. Being stuck in a hotel room with co-workers who insist on talking to you constantly. Like right now. What do I say in a situation where I have nothing to say? I don't know but I wish this week would just pass ASAP.

Ignorant and arrogant people are most annoying. And the Narcissistic Personality, a very close second.

When I'm concentrating hard on what I'm saying and not making eye contact, people who lean over and try to put their face right into my line of view. Just making me acutely aware of the fact that I'm not looking at them while I'm talking. Always trips me up. Then I feel stupid. Then I look stupid. Then I can't remember what I was saying. And then I don't want to talk anymore. Conversation over. :(

Usually, I ignore annoying people and traits but are just some things I cannot tolerate:

-Ultra religious people. I am fine with people having faith. I am not fine with people having faith to the point they attack other forms of thinking, lifestyles, and even other religions.

-"Holier than thou" type of people who think that they can do no wrong.

-A trait that gets to me the most is when people say a bunch of complex words, sacrificing the quality of understanding, just to make themselves seem smarter.

-Ladies that ask you if they are skinny just so they can get a raise in self esteem and not because they are concerned with their health. A man who does it is just as annoying.

-People who think we are superior to animals and use it as an excuse to be cruel to them without reason. It reminds me of Nazis every time.

-Those who think the body is an indicator of worth (racism, sexism, patriotism).

-People who think that war is "being a man" or "it is manly". No, it is not. It is just another excuse to be cruel and shoot a gun without consequence or prosecution.
