Annoyances

Oct 20, 2008 19:29


I have compiled a list of things that bother me about people... Mostly for my own puropses:
to a) check back on and make sure I'm making an effort to "get over" this kind of stuff (in regards to people i talk to; I don't want it to get to me quite as much as it does now)
and b) to make sure I am not guilty of these offenses either. (they say that the things that bother you about other people are the things that bother you about yourself. i am not convinced, but i will try to self-analyze).

1) People who obsess over weight/singleness/bad grades/whatever and do NOTHING to work on their problem.
2) People who can ONLY talk about themselves (is this evidence that you only think about yourself too?)
3) People who can only talk about one topic, for that matter, regardless of what it is. Diversify, people! 
4) People who complain (too much) when they are penalized for not following the rules
5) People who don't know when to apologize: they don't apologize when they should, or they apologize too much (for things they didn't do) OR BOTH...

Now, I feel like I should have some disclaimers here... as far as #2 goes, I do try to be interested in whatever someone is telling me, but if I try to start a conversation about something else and somehow here we are talking about YOU its kind of annoying :-/ ...And for #4, yeah, it sucks, and I am willing to sympathize with you to an extent, but was it really that hard to park in the right space? (this one's mostly work-related). Also, this doesn't apply to ALL rules, don't get the wrong idea and think I'm a nazi or anything.
