Annoying Habits

[JakeD]

What are some mannerisms/habits that you find annoying?

What are some of your own mannerisms/habits that others might find annoying?

For the first one, I can't stand it when people won't look me in the eyes when I talk to them. It makes me feel like they're untrustworthy or just overtly nervous. Incredibly nervous, high-strung people annoy me. People who smack, chew loudly, or talk when they eat. People with a lack of manners annoy me. Bad, inattentive drivers, people who use their cell phone constantly, People who talk too slow or emphasize words as if they were making a speech to kindergarteners...okay, a lot of stuff annoys me.

My own mannerisms? The way I talk, maybe. I tend to get excited and rant. My manners annoy some people: "Don't call me sir/ma'am/whatever". My general facial expression....people tend to think I'm pissed off/depressed/scary/unapproachable because I'm not some bubbly, smiley person.

I hate it when people interrupt me or someone else while talking. It's plain rude. Unless someone is dying, wait.

I smoke. That's an annoying habit. I have trouble maintaining eye contact, but that's from lack of confidence. (Do NOT go off on a rant about that, either!!!) I have a bad memory, so I tend to forget things easily. I know there's more, but I'm too tired to list them all right now.

What are some mannerisms/habits that you find annoying?
Lying. I hate dishonest and dishonarable actions. I also hate it when someone says he/she will do something and then he/she doesn't. GRAR!! I detest rudeness, but I hate evasiveness even more. Just fucking say it!! I hate stupidity and thoughtless comments, and I can't stand it when people jump to conclusions.


What are some of your own mannerisms/habits that others might find annoying?
I clear my throat a lot after I've eaten dairy products. I think I might have a slight allergy to them or something. It drives ME crazy, so I know it must drive others crazy.

I smoke, too. I'm not ashamed of it, but I'm sure it's annoying to others which is why, in general, I am a considerate smoker. If it bothers someone, I won't smoke around him/her.

I can get on a soapbox awfully quick and often give unsolicited advice - which is sometimes appreciated, often not, and can generally come across as arrogance or smugness. That ain't the case. :) If I ever offer advice, it's usually because I've been in a similar situation and want to HELP. Y'all keep that in mind! ;)

What Enty said! Also:

Things that annoy me- men who jungle the change in their pockets & ones that constantly adjust their balls/dick while they're talking to you. Makes me want to ask if they're checking to see if the little guy is still there. People who take a mouthfull of food, then proceed to talk (or chew with their mouths open) My mother does that & it drives me NUTS! People who don't FUCKING KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! People who are mean just because they think they can get away with it.

My habits: Cursing too much, talking too much (especially when I'm nervous) & farting too much while enjoying it- my son says that, anyway. I think I bother some people because I say exactly what I think & they aren't used to someone that won't play head games or allow them to play head games. Will I change any of them? Hell no! i actually LIKE me the way I am now. :cool:

[Bassmama]

Oh- forgot one of the things that annoy me- shaking someone's hand that keeps their hand limp & straight. What the fuck is that, anyway? Grip back, dammit!

/me nods at Bassmama

You hit two more I forgot about. I curse a LOT. I could make the sailors blush. :) I hate the limp handshake, too. I also despise when I give someone a hug and they don't HUG me. They just kinda do that pat thingie. I detest that!! GRAR.

[kittyroze]

Me? I'm perfect.

/me gets struck by lightening

Okay fine...I definitely have some annoying habits. I snore, loudly. I have a tendency to breathe through my mouth -- damn allergies -- which apparently can be annoying. I can be very needy when I'm depressed. When I get nervous, I act really really hyperactive -- loud, boisterous, and definitely weird.

As for habits I hate...

When people hock a loogie on the side walk. People who don't pick up after their dogs. When (usually guys I've dated) people are staring at the tv when you're talking to them about something important...and you finish with a question and they go - "I'm sorry, what?" When people don't flush the toilet.

Agreed on the limp handshake thing.

An annoying habit I've come across is people and their obsession for travelling with everything they take. Every time I work I come up with items which are sometimes 1/2 to 2/3rds my own body mas and it's tiring, especially when it's warm, when there's a time stress and when the items can't deal with their weight.

I speak to much about my work, but it's taken over my life, and will control for another month and a half, then I'll be speaking about the student life all the time.

[Bassmama]

Warza- whaddya mean? What do you do?

Hey, that's the purpose of this site- to talk about stuff! As long as you're honest, then talk away- you ain't bothering us!

And Kitty- I agree with what you said, too. As far as the sinus/ snoring problem, get a doctor to give you a scrip for Flonase or something along those lines. I have had sinus problems all my life- finally got Flonase & it works great! I also have asthma from allergies & use inhalers as I need them. Only needed to use the inhaler when I was around ciggy smoke- I almost ended up in the hospital while I was in North Carolina- if I didn't have my inhaler with me, I would have.

Just got back from dinner w/ my neighbor. We had just gotten in her Jeep & she told me to look at a man standing w/ 3 others & he was adjusting himself- we ended up making jokes & laughing so hard she almost couldn't drive.

[Bassmama]

Oh- and BTW- I'm loud, too.

what i find annoying: ppl who dont look me in the eye and look behind me or at my boobs, ppl who shake hands weakly, ppl who tell me not to chew with my mouth open when they have food in their mouths....heh...theres more but i cant think

what i do thats annoying: i chew with my mouth open when im at home....its not because im lazy its more that i have a smallish mouth and i take big bites and its hard to get air unless i open my mouth....

...also if i find out that something i do annoys someone (not obsessively but just slightly) ill do it more....

...that and the fact that if someone is annoying someone else i join in on the annoying so that i wont get annoyed as well....

and all agree with bassmama about the fact that ppl may not like the fact that i say things rather bluntly (esp when im hungry)

The way nobody just looks you in the eye, ticks me off.

I WILL ANNOY YOU:
I have no short term memory. None. Zip. Nada. I WILL FORGET YOUR NAME ALL THE TIME. Along with birthdays, when I was meant to meet you, the street you live on, what you look like, how many fingers I have etc. etc. etc.
I bite my finger nails. still.
I am hyper-emotional. not good when angry or depressed.
I am acidic at times, I can be hurtfully sarcastic.
I can be distant.
I have no short term memory.

I am as annoying as ALL get out.
