People trying to make small talk. I prefer in depth conversations on topics that I find interesting and know a lot about.

Not much.I feel strongly that people who are bored have yet to discover how to mentally stimulate themselves.I can sit in a car with no phone ( ) and wait and just watch people and not be bored.I loathe when people complain about being bored in classrooms/university;obviously you aren't making much use of your brain.

Holidays. Loved them as a kid, but at this point in my life I find them cliche. They just seem to be another day to me and just an excuse to spend money.

TV and movies: I haven't seen a movie in 2 years and haven't watched TV in 6. The stories seem so predictable and the characters do the stupidest things, nothing like how I'd react.

Ball sports: I was terrible at them, PE class was usually and exercise in humiliation and degradation. When people ask if I've seen the latest major competition I tell them "somebody won that sport last year, why are they playing it again?"

Church: You dress in uncomfortable cloths and sit on uncomfortable chairs in an uncomfortably stuffy building, going through pointless rituals and listening to ridiculous sermons. They taught me that I must not ask logical or reasonable questions if they were difficult and to always be ashamed of myself (all men are sinners and pride comes before a downfall) and they also had a list of thought crimes.

Parties: They're full of attractive women I will never meet and conversations I will never be a part of. I spend my time feeling anxious, trying not to do anything stupid, trying not to drink too much because I'm nervous and waiting until I've been there long enough to leave.

Family gatherings: Having to be on my best behavior, totally suppress my natural self and having to be in full manual control of myself, all day long to avoid screwing up. I haven't seen any of my relatives in nearly a decade.

Stop and go traffic: I'd rather go twice as far out of my way if I can drive at a normal speed than sit in traffic. Actually, any kind of line boors me to tears, I hate them. I schedule as much of my life as possible to avoid lines and crowds.
