Little Things You Hate

Waiting DAYS longer than that estimated "Delivers in X days on April X" for something you ordered.

Did someone forget to carry the 1 when calculating? Or are you guys just

1. "Baseless accusations in ultimately futile internet arguments"

2. "Cool story, bro." sort of annoys me. Feels like if I'm ever discussing something on the internet, people will just hand-wave any of my points through the use that phrase, along with "tl;dr."

3. That moment when you're on 4chan or some other imageboard and you realize that your debate opponent is just saying "nope" whenever you supply a valid point, yet you can't stop responding.

I could probably just combine those 3 into "debating with rabble," but I digress.

When I can't find my fork, whatever the reason. Because I am ridiculously picky about fork size and shape, I only have one fork that I will use. When said fork somehow disappears (or, god forbid, someone actually takes it or misplaces it), I raaaaaaaaaaaaage.

Also, when my people take, move or use my stuff without permission in general. I'm not a very possessive person, but I'm very much used to my order of things/routines and get really pissed (or more like... confused/upset) when something is not where I'm used to it being, or is not in the condition I'm used to it being. Example: my bathroom scale, which I totally don't mind people borrowing, being left wet and set to pounds rather than kilograms = raaaaaaaaaaaaage. I'd share absolutely anything with people, even my fork, as long as they actually ask or leave it where and as it was when they found it. Otherwise, not cool at all.

Also, I guess more generally, I really dislike when I'm in a particular groove and people try to get me out of it for whatever reason. It's very easy to break my groove, especially when it comes to work or to creative pursuits, and as much as I love having people around, it tends to upset me if people actively do stuff that breaks me out of that groove. All the worse since I have trouble wilfully ignoring people and will respond even if it breaks my groove. Example: people trying to have conversations with me when I'm reading. I end up both forgetting everything I read, having a really awkward conversation, and not wanting to either read or attempt conversations for the rest of the day.

I HATE it when people do this to me too. God damnit, I don't want to listen to you talk! Shut up and let me read my book!

EVERY DAY in the break room:

Coworker: What are you reading?
Me: Star Wars
Coworker: Oh, cool, which one?
Me: *specific book name*
Coworker: Oh, is that the one with *random character* ?
Me: No.
Coworker: Have you seen the movies?
Me: Yes.
Coworker: bla bla bla prequels bla bla
Me: *nod*
Coworker: Do you ever read anything else?
Me: Yes.
Coworker: I only ever see you reading Star Wars books, you must like them a lot!
Me: Yes.

and so on.

Do you like star wars?

Reminds me of that time I was watching Five Star Stories on my PSP. Some old guy kept asking me what it was about and why the main character looked like a girl.

When I was in high school I had a habit of staying up late on weekends and during breaks, until 2-4 am or so. One summer our house was broken into while I was up late and the house was pitch black. Don't want to go into details, but I make a habit of knowing where anything I can use as a weapon is now. I don't own a gun, but there are heavy solid objects, and a couple sharp ones.

Yeah, I'm getting to that point now. Actually, our backdoor is now impossible to open. There was no lock on it at all, and so we just basically bolted it shut after this incident. I guess we're screwed if there's a fire, but hey, at least the windows at the back of the house are easy to kick out.

Getting sick when you have so much things to do.
