There are a few things that really get my goat. First and foremost I really detest repeating myself. Nothing is worse than having to say the same thing over and over again until people finally catch what it is that you are trying to convey. The irritation on this is so strong that I will actually just walk away from what I was trying to express because the initial investment in trying to communicate just can't hold up to the irritable cost of having to say it over and over again.
Another thing that gets me is listening to people eat. The wet sloppy sounds of mastication and the gasping gurgling of swallowing make me sick and angry. Usually the only way I can avoid this irritation is if I'm eating as well, then it doesn't bother me anymore.
Finally, but not least is the anger and irritation when people are willfully stupid or obnoxiously incurious. If you don't want to learn something new then perhaps you'd prefer to just commit suicide. If you don't care to know and aren't interested in anything new, then what exactly are you doing with your life? Just enduring some mechanical endurance trial? You aren't impressing anyone. Find something you know nothing about and learn more about it. Each and every day. Or admit that you are a banal unimaginative machine and just kick off already.
