I'm a wonderful person with a big heart

[Nuzzolese]

When someone is coughing, having a coughing fit like they have something caught in their throat, my first reaction is annoyance. I want them to shut up already. I don't suddenly feel concern for them, or sympathy. I'm just annoyed at listening to the person cough. This is especially tedious when you were in the middle of a conversation and you have to just stand there as if the other person were taking a call. It's awkward.

Have you ever been talking to someone and they start crying and instead of feeling sad for them you start thinking about running out of the room as fast as possible, or maybe even jumping out the window? You think, "oh god, how long is this going to go on?" I would almost feel more at ease if the person started breast feeding a child than if they started crying. I was trying to think of the few things that would make me feel as uncomfortable, if no moreso. I think if they started throwing up or masturbating that might be worse.

I'm not worried about being a bad person, I'm only worried that people will be able to see that I'm a bad person. I'm more worried that I might have bad manners. I know I can't actually make myself care about people, I just have to train myself to act polite.

[Helvete]

You've never had a coughing fit?

[miss soul fire]

Thank God I'm not alone in this!! Hihihi! That happens to me all the time. I feel mean.:/

[Nuzzolese]

Of course I have had coughing fits. I've cried before, too, in public, even. I never said I was perfect. I tolerate much more from myself than from others.

[Nuzzolese]

Roby! Ha! You're never what I expect you to be!

I was hoping Bob would be able to sympathize as well.

I really like seeing couples fighting in public. I don't know why. Is it because I'm bitter and want everyone else to be miserable, too? Sure, why not, I'm not pretending to be above that. Although I don't think that's it. I just think it's funny because you KNOW that every couple has fights and a lot of couples try to pretend that they don't have fights. It's embarrassing to fight in public, maybe I laugh to ease the tension I feel when I see it.

I was at the mall once and a man pushing a stroller was shouting at his wife who was several paces in front of him and - luckily for me - had allowed enough room for me to happen between the two of them so I was right at ground zero when he laid the bomb on her of "I don't even know what you want! You act like a fucking 2-year old!"

Then this older lady in the store looked disapprovingly at him and said "I think you need to shut your mouth" to which he replied to this opinionated stranger "I think YOU need to shut your mouth!" That was the best trip to Sears, ever!

Hihihi! Yeah, I'm in the mean team too!:p

I love to see them fight too. Especially because it makes me feel like I'm very polite and above them, like I'm cool enough not to do that. But I don't want them to break up. I feel terrible when couples break up.:/

If somebody is complaining about something that I think is irrelavent or stupid then I usually get annoyed. Dumb drivers annoy me. I have a small road rage problem. BUT anybody who is in a bad situation I've always been the person/friend to help them out of it. I usually am nice and have sympathy.

Life is too short to be bitter and mean to people unless you're on the road. :cool:

[Myu-to]

Damn it!

When I started reading this thread, my throat became all itchy, and now I am coughing.

Thanks.

[Nuzzolese]

Road rage is the one area in life I think it's important to overcome some anger. You could kill people.

I'm not trying to BE mean to people. I just don't care if they're not happy?

I don't follow people or do anything crazy! I just yell at their stupidity.

Slow drivers annoy me every single day. I wish I had a horn that yelled "if have diarrhea, please, pull over!" That'd be awesome.

[Nuzzolese]

So many people fail to stop at stop signs and fail to use their turn signals and it really picks my scabs,

[Myu-to]

Annoying, yes it is. Does it make you a bad person, I don't think so. I have a bad habit of finishing people's thoughts or sentences in my head before they do, and I am usually right. So, I get highly annoyed when talking with people who repeat themselves a lot, and I appreciate people with random thoughts because they are interesting for me to talk to since I can't guess what they are going to say next.

[MC Moot]

The best/worst is the couple falling out or breaking up at a restaurant,pub or party...awkward and unavoidably watchable...weeks ago I was at a busy pub and this guy's stool got caught up in the legs of mine...instead of saying hey mate,let's untagle here,he jerked his stool out and almost put me on my ass...so,I let it slide mostly out of shock...but my mate at the table was like ""that's strike 2"...and I agreed...so then we started being dicks,especially when we caught on that he and his girl were doing the splitsville convo...we egged him on bad...but he axed for it...he really did...

That's one of the things that I loved about Houston. Everyone truly was nice and polite, until they started driving. The change was very dramatic, it was like 'Roid Road Rage.

It would have been 1001 if Moot wouldn't have saved my life.

Those are the worst, especially the ones who decide to break on the freeway consistantly. Drives me mad!!!

I can understand the annoyance though. I agree it doesn't make you a bad person. I can't lie though I have gotten really annoyed by people who cough during a movie. I am always thinking "when are you gonna stop, i can't freaking hear lol."

[MC Moot]

It wopuld have been 1001 if Moot wouldn't have saved my life.

No more marbles for you,young man!

[fonky pizza]

I haven't been driving since a long time and maybe that's a good thing! just kidding, I am a very good driver...I am a smoker too and I ask other smokers to smoke far from me cause it bothers me:D

[Bob]

I was hoping Bob would be able to sympathize as well.

oh i do. little noises aggravate me to no end. here is a non inclusive list of things people do in otherwise quiet rooms that make my life temporarily hell

coughing
throat clearing
sniffling
snorting
chortling
sunflower seed eating
sunflower petal eating
nut eating
eating nuts one by one, in a weird incomprehensible way where you bite the nut in half first and crunch each half a million times
gum chewing
gum swallowing
whispering
shouting
talking
boston accents
babies crying
babies coughing
babies laughing
babies whispering
babies with boston accents

and like i realize it's little stuff and i should just get over it, but i don't. there's a primal center in my reptile brain that just flares up in mind pain every time i hear something that annoys me, i don't know how to get over it. it's like telling someone to stop being bothered by being smacked in the face, it triggers some visceral function in my brain that says "this is a painful and bothersome experience", i really don't know how to cope with it

[TurdBerglar]

nothing really bothers me

well except when people try to force you to be friendly with them especially when females do it.

[Bob]

i like how you refer to women as "females"

it's very spockish

i wasn't talking about women. i was talking about snotty little bitches.

You are so Dexter Morgan, with your reptile brain.

Gum chewing loudly in public really is very rude. It's as bad as loud belching, yet most people don't seem to think there's anything wrong with it.

At some times, babies annoy me with their nonstop baby babble. I know they can't help it but I guess there are some places babies don't want to be so they get bored and they feel like talking. And I'm like "would you shut up, baby!?" But the baby has no idea what I'm saying and just spits all over me! Did I mention I'm usually babysitting them at these times?

[Nuzzolese]

There's this woman I work with and she loves to giggle and laugh and she's pretty much a ditz, she's a moron. She thinks way too many dumb things are really funny, like really really funny. She laughs for too, too long and tries to carry jokes on for much longer than they deserve. To be polite I will keep smiling but eventually my face will start to hurt and she's still standing there just laughing, looking at me, not even saying anything, just giggling. I want to say "okay that's enough, the jokes over now, you killed it" but that might seem "rude" or whatever. People are so pointless.

[Bob]

every morning i wake up thinking "i don't wanna go to work" but the more i think about it the more i realize that the thing i'm dreading most is this guy's coughing. it's all day, every day, since the day he started 6 months ago, it's the thing about my job that wears me down the most. the work is fine really, not too stressful for the most part. not exactly "fun" by any means but it's an office job, whatever, it's a fine life compared to most of the other options for where i could be in my life right now

but this guy's coughing, it breaks me down. but i'm afraid if i say something about it he'll be like "oh, um, i have cystic fibrosis, there's nothing i can do asshole" or something like that

maybe i'll just quit

i had a friend like this in high school. he used to run the inside jokes into the ground like it was out of style. me and this other friend started saying "turkey" and other poultry related things when he would do this. eventually he would join in but never realized that we were making fun of him the whole time.

[Myu-to]

Bob, a big part of your problem is that you waited so long to say anything. If you would have said something earlier, like "Are you okay? Do want a cough drop?" He could have told you what the problem was with it just being a casual type of thing. If it is a nervous tick, he's probably self-conscious about it, but if you're cool and friendly, than it can come off all right. I really don't see you coming off as an asshole.

Awesome.

We did something like this with a guy at work who was a know-it-all, but usually wrong. We had competitons to see who could get him to agree with, or say the most outlandish things.

Ha! That just made me think of better my friend is than I am. He is a former marine, talking hardcore training, and one day the know-it-all says that black and white people are not the same because black people have descended from monkeys. My friend's wife is black. I seriously rushed over to him because I thought he was going to rip the guys head off because he is glaring at the guy who notices nothing. Then he turns to me, closes his eyes for a moment, then smiles and says, "I won."

Yes D-Bo, yes, you did.

[Nuzzolese]

What a maroon. The theory is apes, not monkeys.
