Your sitting on the bus and there's a woman sitting in front of you with her head to you and she's twirling and twisting a thin strand of hair over and over and over again for 3/4 of an hour without let up - slowly.

All you can see is the back of her head, her hand and the strand of hair slowly twirling.

Would this bother you?

I think it's sometimes an autistic thing, hair twirling. I don't do it, so I'm only going on hearsay.

Nah it probably wouldn't bother me. Girls sometimes twirl their hair when they are flirting or attracted to a guy.

It wouldn't bother me at all. This reminds me of the girl I grew up with's mom. She used to overreact to anyone smacking their gum. To me, it wasn't a big deal but she wanted to smack anyone who smacked their gum.

nah I wouldn't care, I would be paying more attention to hearing what I do if I brought my mp3 player or just simply read a book.

On the bus i tend to lose myself in my own little musical world. My cellphone would probably be another distracton.

If on the other hand i had no mp3 player or cell phone, or any other distraction, then yeah, it Might bother me.

Nope. I'm usually too "in my own head" to be that concerned about what someone else is doing. As long as they are doing it silently, that is.

No. Sometimes we think that people as so concerned with some tiny flaw when in reality their truely focussing on their life and they crap they are dealing with.
