When someone saya, "May I ask you a question?"

Evidently you can because you just did!

Similarly, I get annoyed by people who insist on talking about their medical issues in detail. Like I really want to hear about the details of every symptom you've experienced, every doctor you've seen, what the tests were like, etc, etc.

I kind of think your medical issues should be on the same list as your politics and your religious beliefs; you shouldn't discuss them unless it's with someone you're very close to. I've found the people who compulsively disclose their own medical issues to be much more common than people who probe for details of someone else's medical conditions.

When people say, "I don't mean to be rude but..." and then say something rude. Or if they begin with, "It's none of my business but..." and then poke their noses in your business.

- Loud people (this covers everything from speaking, chewing, crunching, crinkling chip bags, situating things, etc.) Particularly at work, but also at home when I'm trying to sleep.

- In meetings when people don't let others finish their sentences. Everyone where I work does it, so meetings are basically a stitched-together cacophony of barely intelligible half-formed verbalized thought processes.

- People that interrupt, but when they have the attention, they pause when they can't think of what to say, as though their primary goal was to be heard and they didn't give any time to what they were actually going to say.

- People that do not realize that a world of other individuals exist around them. These are usually the people likely to be physically in your way, for no good reason, or the people you will be slamming on the breaks for when they pull out into your lane (while completely ignoring the free one) going a quarter of your speed.

- People that don't at least clean their homes for listing pictures. Additionally, people that somehow think paint jobs like fire-engine red walls and black ceilings look fabulous.

- Pant saggers. I'm never going to understand this one, nor the people that do it. I'm 99 percent sure it's not a belt availability issue, although if I found out it was, I would happily acknowledge my ignorance in the matter.

- I can go on with more all day... That's probably in this list as an annoyance about myself. I sometimes wish I was all of the above, so I would be impervious to the effects.

I hate it when ppl smack their lips while they're eating. One of my old college classmates did it all the time. Just chowing down and smacking away. I stopped eating near him. I would even move if I saw him coming- because I gave him the benefit of the doubt once, thinking he wouldn't be smacking his lips, but he sure did.

People who want their hair to swing back and forth while they walk, so they end up walking all ugly.

driving too slow, to be honest. I try not to let much else bother me.. that's not to say I'm always successful, but in order to be annoyed by something you first, have to see it, which means constantly worrying about what other people are doing, and second, react to what you see. Since I strive to take conscious control of my unconscious programming I try to observe my behaviors when I find myself irritated.. ask myself why it irritates me, and see if it's worth it to get irritated by such and such.. a slow process of undoing.
