Does anyone hate people getting annoyed by other people?

[sullyS25]

Yes it is hypocritical.

But it's also a bit self-critical, and a recording of a feeling I experience. With this thread I hoped to gain some understanding of the phenomenon of annoyance. I try my best not to let myself be bothered by pet peeves, but then I notice most other people don't try at all, and instead just let their negative feelings surface in dirty looks etc. That in turn annoys me.

So yeah, annoyance is probably something occuring in every human, no matter how much we condition ourselves to be tolerant of other people.

I am the same way. My immediate reaction is to judge people, situations or places. I get bothered by the smallest things when I am not intently focused on accepting things the way they are and living in the moment. Then I get self-critical for judging things and it's a huge cycle that doesn't stop until i make the decision to accept everything the way it is.

While I do agree with your point, I reckon superficiality was just as bad back then but social networking and the media wasn't around to broadcast it as widespread.

I expect you're right, my parents say the same thing, but I think they had a lot less exposure to it than we do today. I think that's the bit that appeals to me.

Well I think that if it's something that can't be helped like coughing then people should keep those looks to themselves becuase they woman probably feels really bad enough without them making it worse but if someone like tlaking really loud while they can talk quiter and still be heard the yeah I will be annoyed becuase thats something they can change

I work in a small office. When one person gets sick, everyone gets sick. And when one person starts chronically coughing without a care in the world, then I can end up getting sick and have a number of times.

You can cover your mouth with a handkerchief, a tshirt or a towel at least. But some people don't. And some people don't take care of themselves to get better. Getting infected by someone and getting sick for a few days can be very frustrating. It happening more than once by the same person even more.

So it is a totally justifiable reason to get annoyed when someone is coughing because that someone is doing something wrong if s/he is not covering his mouth and can harm people around him/her.

There are reasons that people get annoyed. It's even more justifiable than getting annoyed at the person getting annoyed at the cougher because the 2nd person doesn't do anything directly wrong to the 3rd person.

That seems like a silly situation because all those girls had to do was move if they were so annoyed.

Do some of us anxious people live in fear of what we did that was annoying? I review my day wondering what I did. I get annoyed by people finding anything quiet me might do annoying including the sheer act of being quiet. Is it just as wrong to have anything to say to somebody else? Probably. I don't know anymore!

Coughing in a library.. No.. What is annoying is the rare time you go to the movies and people are talking during the movie, (I try to always sit in a desolate area, even if the seat is in a crappy location, but sometimes you still have people near you) when the idiot in front of you is shining their bright phone in your eyes while texting during a movie, when people hear some song they like and clap their hands and snap their fingers (Off beat I might add) and sing along.. I never go out in public very often and this is usually the exception and it really annoys the far out of me. I have had people spill food and drink on my back at the movies as well and they never apologize, they pretend not notice and get a small laugh out of it..

I sometimes carry around a small bottle of hand sanitizer and know to sneeze and cough into your arm, never on my hands.. Despite my precautions, others seem to be just so contagious those preventive measures do not always work.

Exactly, that´s what I wanted to point out too. I think if people must cough, they should know that it is potentionally iritating to others even if they can´t help it. If it was me, I would let it apparent that it bothers me to be such a nuisance and cover my mouth or distance myself for a while if I can, or appologize. Maybe it would´t be of much help, but the important thing is to show people that you are being polite about it. But there are people who are not ashamed about any of their potentional crap and think they have the right for it to be automatically accepted by others, and who doesn´t is being impolite. I think it´s always the person who disturbs the environment in some way that should be polite first. Like if someone has a TV on loud and you want them to turn it down a bit, they refuse and say you are being disrespectful. No, it´s the other way round because the responsibility is always on the person who makes the disturbance.
