[Closed] Things that Annoy You

-Getting told by my parents not to get married
-Getting asked at every family gathering if I've found a boyfriend yet
-Guys who ask me out more because they want a girlfriend than because they actually like me (and they usually don't know me very well either)
-FB randomly changing my relationship status to "married"

Can't I just live and let life lead me where it wants?! :P

I thinking getting asked if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend at a family gathering happens to most. It is so annoying.

What annoys me is people asking me to do stuff that I don't believe needs doing and getting annoyed at me when I don't do it.

My family constantly complaining about stupid things, such as how the cheese is cut, who did this and who didn't.

My dad believing that there is only one way to d everything and that's his way. If It works another way I can't see why I can't do it that way.

I know, right, Dani? ;))

I'm sorry about those, wolf! And my condolences to you as well, ILF. (the cheese being sliced! I understand your frustration, but that gave me a chuckle. :P )

I read that news story, too, Purpleotter. It's so painful... why would someone do that to an innocent animal who can't speak for itself, let alone try fight? I'm glad the dog is alive; I'm praying that it makes a good recovery.

Unforunate norms of social gatherings when you arrive early and sit down, waiting for the event to begin:
If you pass the time while reading the interesting book you brought along, you're perceived to be snobby and uninterested in conversation.
If you sit around twiddling your thumbs and looking at the others who are waiting, too, no one talks. :P

Indeed everyone laughs when I tell them. I never cut cheese when dad is home, well I try not.

I know what you mean about the early thing. If I know no one I usually pull out my phone to not look awkward, If I know them I ty to be interested in the conversation.

This probably happens to people who type in different languages, like I type in both Russian and English and usually at the same time...I mean in one tab I'll be typing in Russian and in another one in English. And for me the most annoying thing in the world is when I forget to change the language and start typing with Russian letters where I'm supposed to type in English. I get sooooo annoyed...does that happen to anyone?

hahaha! I'm sorry, ILF!

Lol, yeah, I usually pull out my phone or read if it wouldn't look to awkward for me to read (such as, if I'm in an elevator or something). It's great when you know someone, but sometimes even when trying to engage in conversation, some people look at you like you're from another planet if you try talk or something... :P (or, worse, if it's quiet in the room, when you talk and suddenly break the silence, everyone jumps. :P

That sounds pretty frustrating, De_De. I never usually have the occasion to type in any of the languages I'm learning, but sometimes when I want the Gujarati word for something, the Swahili word or Spanish word for it will come to my mind.
Also, because Gujarati (like Russian) isn't in the Roman alphabet, when I write it, sometimes I'll accidentally write something in the Roman alphabet when I meant to write it in the Gujarati alphabet. :P It sometimes happens vice-verses, too.

When My friends and I go places we try to turn up together. What annoys me, also is going into a small shop and the shop assistant spends the whole time starring at you. If Feel so awkward.

People who, once I'm gone, couldn't care less where I am, but then when they bump into me say, "Oh, we miss you!" when I know there are /plenty/ of ways to contact me if they actually cared. And the best part is that they claim to be followers of Christ. 8-| Most of the only people who actually seem to care are my Narniaweb friends, one or two good friends I have in RL, and supposedly "worldly, non-Christian" friends.
And that leads to another annoyance! People who walk around calling themselves Christians and cause shame to the name of Christ. As a follower of Christ, I'd rather work with and be around non-saved people and show them the true love of Christ as I am called to, rather than be around wolves in sheep clothing who parade around doing things that are beyond the line of decency, call themselves Christians, and constantly attempt to manipulate you by misusing Scripture to justify their ugly behaviour.

Aslanisthebest;
I hear you. I have been there. For those who claim Christianity, and use our faith as nothing but a tool, well I know God speaks of such, even rebuked some while He walked among us.
But I caution you not to be harsh to those who do not make contact a lot. Especially if they are new in the faith. They need time to grow. As for those who are older, it's unfortunate, but many people have lost the skill of socializing. Our society, both Christian, and non, has lost this, even in our "communication age".

Annoying :P Well, when people monopolize a conversation so that other individuals can't join in. I mean, take it another place or something. As if monopolizing the conversation with their volume etc. is not enough, a topic that is unfamiliar to others can be even more annoying. I don't know whether it is out of ignorance or out of a sense of joy at having an "inside joke" ...

Every time I think of a quote or witty comment to put here, the quote is not so spectacular and the comment is not so witty.

Thank-you for your encouragement, Puddlglum! I thank you with heartfelt gratitude.
Indeed, the communication thing was not identically related to the first point. Those who I had in mind are not keeping from contact because of something faith-related, or so I suspect. But thanks for the reminder: I should leave it to the Lord. :)
