What annoys you?--a place to put it and leave it

[Kit-Ginevra]

Sorry Madam, wrong sort of thruppenny bits....

And another thing that annoys me is when people deviate from the original topic of the thread onto their own pet fantasies...so we shall return you to your regularly scheduled programming

I hate it when someone is trying to talk to me while I'm taking a shower.

OK, I'm glad no one does that to me!

I'm naked, I'm soapy, and I can't understand what you're trying to tell me thanks to the running water.

Well then I'll open the window a bit further shall I?

If you're yawning, do not attempt to finish your sentence while doing so. It obliterates whatever you're trying to say, and you inevitably have to repeat yourself. Finish the yawn first, then start over.

When I was a teenager and first starting to learn guitar, I started writing a song that had lyrics that are something like this:

There's a naked man in the tree outside your window!
It sure looks like he's trying to get inside!

That's all I remember writing.

When someone tries to talk to me from another room (at home) or across the lobby (at work). Walk up to me before you start talking to me!

My husband has a talent for talking to me while walking away from me, if one of us is getting something out of a bathroom (the fan automatically comes on when the light does), if I'm running water in the kitchen sink, if my head's in the fridge or freezer so the appliance is muffling sound, if the microwave is running between us.....

[XCashier]

I hate when people walk away from me while they're talking to me! First of all, it's rude and demeaning, like I'm not good enough for a face-to-face talk. Second, you're facing away from me and getting further away, so I can't clearly hear you, as the sound waves are going away from me.

I also can't understand when someone's talking to me while we're in a crowded, noisy place. Hold that thought until we get someplace quieter so I can hear you!

[Kit-Ginevra]

.. if the microwave is running between us.....

then grab it before it can run any further!

Fixed That FY

My belongings aren't respected in this house, in general. Extends to packages. I ordered a replacement for a Christmas gift that didn't work. The recipient knew it was coming and probably assumed the package this morning was it. I get that, but it should've been addressed to me; I ordered it. I looked at the label and it doesn't look like there's a name for some reason, but still I should've been asked. I don't know which of them opened it, but if it's not addressed to you, leave it alone. I never open theirs. I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt; maybe they opened by mistake. I've opened mail by mistake. Still annoyed.

Edit: I asked and yes, Amazon didn't bother to put my name on it. I think they're trying too hard to be fast.

When I'm talking to someone on the phone, and someone in the room also tries to talk to me. I can't listen to more than one person at the same time!

[Food Lady]

Yup. Family have come in my room because the door was open and interrupted me while I was on the phone with a client.

Same thing here, but applying only to mail and packages. I live in a backyard apartment on family property, and there's only one mailbox for all of us. When I used to sub to a magazine, fewer than half of them ever got to me because bro/SIL would somehow inexplicably assume they were junk/catalogs and toss them without asking me...even after I asked them to just give me everything and not "filter" my mail (they had the best intentions, but I can do that myself). Every so often, they'll open a package I received; this is more understandable, as they have 3 kids, so they're receiving packages for someone in the house online literally every day. We have the same last name, so it's kinda an automatic brain bypass issue. I'm 95% sure this crap is why this year was the first time I actually received all of the XMAS cards y'all wonderful crazy people send me during our annual event.

My upstairs neighbor has an obnoxious alarm clock that sounds for an hour. My alarm is set for one and a half hours after his. I'm tempted to advise him to get a lamp alarm clock.
