Name your top three pet peeves.

Unless you are new here, you know I’m an introvert. That puts small talk at the top of the list. It’s usually meaningless and content free. It’s irritating to listen to. Talk to me about something deep that stirs my intelligence and/or emotions, or has great content, then I’ll want to engage.

Next, big crowds. I usually avoid it unless it’s impossible. Sometimes a small crowd is big if they are people I don’t want to be around (like family gatherings).

I look for the first excuse to not go, or leave early if I have to. If I’m stuck in an auditorium, I’m by the exit so I can leave.

Finally, internet arguments. You can be the top expert in a field, write a thoughtful piece that is fully documented with facts, and the first comment is: bullshit. You can say almost anything, and people will find a way to argue about it. See a few posts below on commenting.

    1. Interrupting. If I’ve actually decided for some reason to spend time talking to you, odds are I think it’s important. Interrupting says you know everything and don’t care. Fine. Stew in your ignorance.
    2. Blocking the walkway / road. Protesters, parades, I don’t care. Blocking people’s ability to get from point A to point B is a sign of self-centered narcissism.
    3. Forcing me to go somewhere, usually through emotional blackmail, that I really have no reason to go. You’re perfectly capable of going to the store without me. To me, it’s doubly painful. It’s being surrounded by people I don’t care about combined with watching my money being spent on things I don’t want.
