When people assume that just because a wild animal is cute it must also be harmless. I even once read about a student who tried to hug a panda at a zoo in Beijing. The panda became frightened and attacked him. He learned the hard way not to do such a stupid thing ever again!

It's sad how a lot of people who say they love animals really don't know jack squat about them. You have to understand and respect them, too.

Those uneducated native English speakers that cannot spell well, ask me how to spell a word and then double-check online the spelling I tell them. It's insulting. They don't realize that many foreigners can spell better than they can. They think foreigners are as bad as they are.

People who are not understanding about meltdowns.

Being rushed.

When there's no music on the radio, just talking.

When people makes others feel guilty by complaining about how bad they have it.

When someone says they did something UNconsciously----as opposed to SUBconsciously----drives me NUTS!! No one can do anything UNconsciously.

The other one is when people say they could care, less----as opposed to "could NOT care less". I used to, when people would say: "I could care less", I would say: "Go 'head!"----they never got it!! LOL

I don't know, I've met some people that were truly stupid, stupid to the extent that I'm pretty sure they had some kind of computer chip that regulated breathing for them-- I think those people do everything unconsciously.

Unconscious used as a noun means "the part of the mind that is inaccessible to the conscious mind but that affects behavior and emotions." In Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges and memories outside of our conscious awareness.

I also had difficulty with hearing "could care less." I used to give it a lot of thought, thinking I was missing something.

Long lines in stores

Traffic jams

Ads before YouTube videos (I know you can skip most of them, but still...)

Judgmental/rude people

Being rushed

Being asked "What's wrong?" when there is nothing wrong with me

Being kept awake at night by the frogs croaking outside (I wear earplugs, luckily)

People who compare me to people that I don't find attractive, physically.

People who do that right in front of me.

People who run their mouth about people in front of other people. Whispers do not make you any less of a gossip

A bit like when some people say "I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't pay us a visit tomorrow", when they mean "I wouldn't be surprised if he pays us a visit tomorrow".

Yeah, I often wonder if people think this of me too. It's something that's on my mind quite often.


Other things that get to me:

Obnoxiously loud vehicles and motorcycles, and the people that feel they have to romp on them constantly, especially in the early morning or late night

People who clip their nails at work (I however, can't seem to stop biting my nails, and while I try to do it quietly, I know better)


Lots of things actually, too many to list :P

When somebody laughs and they get told "its not that funny"

Are we not allowed to have different senses of humor?

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago, not Jamaica. So when people hear me talk they start saying, "Yeah, mon!" I'm not Jamaican, dammit!
