Day 2: Things that irritate you

Myself, first of all. I'm a weak person with a bad procrastination habit and a cowardly, awkward nature. I would absolutely kick my own ass.

At this moment I don't have much control over my life. Autonomy and personal space are both important concepts for me.

Arrogance, especially combined with ignorance. People who don't know their shit but refuse to acknowledge that they don't know their shit, or who hold forth like an expert, are so fucking tedious. The worst is when they refuse to admit that they're bullshitting and half-assing.

Similarly, people who refuse to acknowledge or apologize for being condescending to others. If you're incorrect, accept it; if you talk shit about someone's statement, and it turns out they're right and you're wrong, you're a total ass if you brush it off.

I enjoy consuming media "as intended" and thoroughly taking my time in enjoying it. Often, as in the case of watching movies or going to a museum, this activity is communal. When the other people involved talk over the experience, or push me to go faster for their convenience, or who skip over parts in a way that affect my experience, they prove themselves to be boors not worth having experiences with.

I once knew someone who hated cats so much they actively wished death on them, although that's less irritation and more "what the fuck is wrong with you". Anyway, I'm pretty tired of the cat person vs. dog person dichotomy.

I can get irritated at minor inconveniences very easily in general. It's a bad habit I'm trying to curb. Don't be like me, kids.

(I ripped a lot of this off of a previous tumblr shitpost and elaborated on it.)
