In a public place….like a doctor’s waiting room….and someone is playing a game on their phone with the sound turned on.

At a movie theater….and someone near me is texting on the phone and the “dings” from the response.

I guess it’s generally phone non-etiquette.

I appreciate this because it's an obvious red flag that let's me avoid those at all costs.

Dude are you being serious right now? That’s literally the only thing that doesn’t annoy me.

People who enter a thread that doesn’t pertain to them just to tell everyone that the topic doesn’t pertain to them.

When eating out, I always try and sit facing the entrance. No idea when or why it started but it irks me having my back turned like that.


Years ago I was told by a very wise, long term bar owner to, "Always sit facing the door. You never know what's gonna walk through there at any time"

30+ years later and I still follow that advice. And I've taught my kids the same.

Harley riders blasting AC/DC. They think they’re so cool. But, how many times can you listen to the same songs?

When my kids wait patiently at the park for a swing or something and the other parents are completely oblivious and on their phone.

People who hover, waiting to talk to me or the other person I’m conversing with. If it’s an “emergency”, then by all means interrupt; otherwise, frick off and find me later.

A common annoyance (because I want to vent about having to continually address it): I have an “open door policy until it’s not”. This means that when my office door is open, there’s no need to knock (or say “knock knock”- cringe). If my door is closed, DO NOT open it and stick your head in and ask, “got a minute? You busy?” Also, I can see you through the blinds, don’t hover outside my door.

restaurant seating corollary

I can’t stand sitting in a booth. Host always looks at me weird when I insist on a table. And at the table, if it’s 2 at a 4 top, and you aren’t my wife, you are sitting across from me, not at the side

Chewing, smacking , slurping, teeth flossing around me then spitting bits in floor, watching tik tok with volume up like everyone else enjoys the racket. I could probably go on.

I think this is called Misophonia. 21 and Me says I got the DNA for it.

People on speaker phone in public with the volume all the way up, people that leave shopping carts in the store parking lot and people that park in handicap spaces they are absolutely not handicapped. Before you say it….. I’m NOT racist.
