I could write a book listing all the petty little things that get me irrationally annoyed. Loud eating, gum-chewing, idle foot-tapping, pen-clicking, excessive sniffing, popcorn in cinemas (full stop_ the list goes on.
I know that other people are annoyed by these things too, but not to the extent that I am. I often completely avoid certain situations/people (e.g. full or even potentially half-full cinemas, my otherwise lovely Asian housemate (louuuuuud eating) because of these things. I don’t just get annoyed at the action – I associate it with the person and begin hating the person with a passion. Not too good for my social life.
I need to change! Perhaps I should tackle the eating thing first – I’m sick of waiting for week 4-5 of a movie’s run to see it. And I want to relax enough to be able to share a meal with my Asian housemate!
