I mean with people that I know in real life, like when they won't talk to me, tell me something nice but then act super-cold and avoid me, and like what happened recently when I tried to get people together and no one wanted to, which caused me a LOT of hurt and embarrassment and shame. Or if I send someone a very short message (like a question), and the question is simple but I need it answered, and the person cannot take like two seconds and give me the information that I need, even several days or weeks later and then I end up never getting it--that drives me nuts. Or when people will go and ignore me, but post stuff on FB when they've clearly seen that I messaged them something and ignore me deliberately. That just gets on my last nerve.

Both of you guys are awesome and I've never been annoyed with either of you, so no worries

I understand. I just know that this is one of my worse habits (and sometimes I've thought that I responded to something as well).

So, what are your pet peeves, and how do you deal with them?

Me, mine is when people cannot be bothered to respond to messages, and especially if (a) I have not posted or sent anything offensive and (b) if they do respond to other people or post other things. It's just so incredibly rude and makes me so p.o.'d. I hate it!

I deal with it by trying to distract myself; if I don't, I just get really frustrated.

Oh, you would HATE me. I seldom respond to messages unless someone asks me a question... be it text or phone. Sometimes it'll be years before I get back a hold of a person and respond like they just said something yesterday.

It's not that I mean to do that, you see, it's just... I'm so freaking flighty sometimes that I don't realize time is passing. Or it's, I just don't know if it's appropriate to respond, so I don't say anything out of nervousness of continuing a conversation.

My biggest pet peeve is when someone tells me I'm wrong about something, and doesn't explain it. Or when I find flaws in their explanation they accuse me of arguing with them. Grrr... "I WASN'T arguing with you, but now I will!" Oh, that irks me, even just thinking about situations like that. I don't mind being wrong about things, I just prefer to know AND understand why.

Talking on the phone 3 times louder than you would if the person were standing in front of you.

ALWAYS trying to convince people that you're right because you're not even sure.

People who talk on the phone, check their appearance in the mirror, or do their make up while driving, especially on the interstate!

Calling me 4-5 times a day with nothing to talk about and so I have to listen to you breathe. I didn't have anything to talk about, which is why I didn't call you so why are you bothering me?

People who don't wash their hands before walking out of a restroom.

Explaining the same thing over and over when everyone understood the first time.

People who don't pick up their dog poop! Some days I'm not above running to get my shovel, pick it up, and throw it at the ******* .

I'm a little anti-social. Lol. Can't wait to buy a house and small farm way out in the country.
