Damn you.....

Have you ever been irked just by someones presence? The mere sight or sound of them makes you feel ill or highly irritated to the point of....well you catch my drift.

These are some things that get on my nerves: 1) Asking a question you seem to want an answer to and when suggestions are provided, you keep it moving like you heard nothing. OK, so you asked for my opinion because...?, 2) When someone talks to you even though they see that you're on the phone. So, I suppose what you have to say is more important than my conversation? Hell no, it isn't! Whatever you're saying right now is not going to register anyway, so just wait your damn turn, and 3) Back handed compliments. Example, "Hey, you look tired today"....um, do you mean I look like shit? Because we all have our bad days and you just caught me in one? I suppose you're completely blindsided about the fact that upon a greeting, the common & courteous way to do so is to ask someone how they are doing....

I'm sure you all can name some and I can go on all day too. But I just wanted to point out the fact that, given we are all different in our own ways, one should do a common sense check regularly. That way, even if you make an obtuse remark, you can reason it later.....
