I hate it when someone calls you certain names,

I had a job coach once go up to me and say, "How are you doing little miss priss?"

I hate it when people keep complaining about their weight when they're literally stick thin in front of me.

"I know, right?" Why do you need verification that you know? (This might not be on topic, but that phrase annoys me.)
"You're too quiet/serious/shy/uptight."
"Just change your mood...it's not that hard." Um, yes it is. I don't enjoy being in bad moods. If I could get out of them, I would. I promise.
"You don't have Asperger's...you're just shy." Oh, really? Thank you, Mr. Psychologist...that takes a load off my mind.

When someone is talking about something or complaining aobut something & i offer an idea, suggestion, theory & the person tells me something like "you think you know everything" or they get sarcastic with me & say "Ok genius" or or ask me where is my college degree ect

My red-hot button is when someone tries to make me believe that X is the moral thing for me to do when actually it's what suits THEIR interests. If you ever see someone do this to me, brace yourself because my reaction is memorable. I don't raise my voice, but what I answer them, they'll never forget in a lifetime.

Eg:

"Be quiet and show respect, this is a theater/plane/opera house/conference!" (when I'm assertively telling someone sitting in my hugely-expensive seat to get up and go to his very cheap seat area. They try to silence me, because it's easier than backing me up against the thief so he'll leave my seat. And yes, I've had this done to me even by the usher and the air-hostess).

"You need to X" (no, YOU need me to X)

To be honest I'd turn round and say.
"Why the f**k do you care considering you've never bothered trying to know me before passing judgment?"
... Only that would be my response now when I should have used it going through my teens.

I love it when people in the street tell me: "You shouldn't feed stray cats!" (although all the cats are neutered, so they don't reproduce). I answer them: "You're right, stray cats and YOU should be left to starve in the streets."

Once I was feeding a group of 15 strays, this bully-apprentice passes by with his wife and baby in stroller.

"Take all those cats home IMMEDIATELY!" he yells at me.
"Hey cats, great news, we're all going home! HIS!" (and I point at him)
"I said take all that worthless s**t off MY neighborhood streets NOW!"
"The only worthless s**t of the neighborhood is in that stroller you're pushing".

I'm too autistic to understand why he can call MY babies s**t and I can't call HIS baby s**t, so I assume the reason is that humans are worthy of respect just for being humans, and animals are worthy of disrespect just for being non-human. Or maybe he was just pretending to be concerned with morality and he was secretly only caring about his own interests. I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Hartz, he made to come up to me and beat me up but I started screaming desperate sobs of "HELP! HELP!" while laughing at him in his face, so he had to run away with stroller and wife in tow, because neighbors were hearing, not seeing in the dark. He never disturbed me again. He ran so fast I never had the time to give his wife my condolences for the tiny weewee she has to make do with. Oh well, next time...

One more while feeding the strays:

"Next time you try to stop my dog from attacking the strays, you're history".
"Says who?"
"I'll teach you a lesson: a man is ALWAYS stronger than a woman, so there's nothing you can do against me. I can do with you as I please".
"Actually, I may have overestimated my own strength; you may be right. Care if we try?" I stand up from the park bench, go to the middle of the road and start screaming "HELP! HELP! RAPE! TAKE YOUR ARMS OFF ME! STOP! STOP! DON'T! DON'T TOUCH ME!" to which he flees in horror, me running after him and laughing and saying "Tell me again if the man or the woman is the stronger?" His dog never attacked the cats again.

Don't ever mess with the weak and the suffering, because I become a lioness protecting her cubs.

"If you're so smart, talented, and pretty, why aren't you married?" It makes it sound like my value rests upon whether I'm married or not, or that my talent isn't legitimate until a man recognizes it...

also pet names. Don't call me sweetie-pie, especially if you don't know me.

''Aren't you old enough to do that on your own?''
Yes, we're all old enough to do these things but that still doesn't mean we can't have company to do these things with!

''You're a tall person''
I'm only 5 foot 5! Quit making me feel like a giraffe and save that comment for someone who really IS tall!

''Why do you watch cartoons at your age?''
Some people like cartoons.

''You will look funny if you have your umbrella up if it's only spitting with rain''
I'm sure people have got more things to think about than whether a stupid girl has got her umbrella up on a drizzly day or not!

In fact, the words ''look'' and ''funny'' put together just wind me up. Whatever you wear, there will always be SOMEBODY who doesn't like it.

"what's stopping you from becoming rich like me?"
"why can't you just jerk yourself up by your bootstraps and get rich?"
"why can't you just play along?"
"anybody can succeed if they just put their minds to it."

and various other blather along those lines.
