The double standards of our "inner self"...
Ya know, I've noticed from posted topics on all kinds of forums, all over the internet, on all kinds of sites, that when it comes to what annoys us, or pisses us off, it's always easy to think of tons of things that "other people" do that we just hate.
But if the question is more like "What about us, pisses off other people"...we just don't seem to be able to find much there to post about. I've tried this topic before and it fell like a bag of wet taters.
Can you think of things about yourself, that your pretty certain must be a real annoyance to those around you?
Or have any explanation on why it is so hard to see in ourselves, what we see in others?

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
its hard because it takes personal quirks to be annoyed by something.... so essentially anything and everything about me will annoy Someone in the world i'd guess.
topping the list i suppose is my love to pester you right up to that line just before it pisses you off seriously... then tip toe accross it and slap your ass from the other side.

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
Oh gawd!! I know that quirk of yours well! It's your signature, your tag...and its adorable!
I know I annoy the crap outta people by not always accepting thier first reply (in the real world or cyber world) Because it's usually a "stock answer" an answer they have always given to the same question and rely on it to convey their opinion. I get annoying and pushy, always pushing for a little more...what I'm looking for is the Holy Grail "Wait...now that I think about it..." phrase and what follows it.
...And I talk too much...sometimes I want to be kind, or make a point with sublty and humor, and I just end up annoying people by talking too much! (like right now!!)

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
I have no issues that piss people off, PERIOD!!
Honestly.......I'd have to think about it awhile...
Oh yeh, maybe a few little things.
1) I've been known to lift a cheek and let one fly at the dinner table or at church!!! Some people might find that disgusting, I don't, I find it liberating!!
2) On more than one occasion, I have picked my nose in public! I can see where that might make some onlookers ill and grossed out. Well, too bad, I gotta be me!!!
3) Once in a great while, I have critiqued other people's lifestyle. That may make me seem too opinionated. Well,tough sh*t!!!
4) I wear nothing but RALPH LAUREN shirts. Hey, they reflect my taste and personality. I'd sooner have ROSIE O'DONNELL sit on my face than wear a WALMART purchased shirt. It's who I am. I'm sure the people who adorn themselves with clothing from the WALMART sale rack are nice people but p-l-e-a-s-e, how gauche......
---------------------------------------------------------
I could go on and on how shallow other people are but I'm way too busy dressing myself in my up-scale type clothing. This way, I can separate myself from the common man........

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
I'm annoying when I come off like
a smartypants Know-it-all...but hey, it's harder NOT to do than you might think...
I don't think I'm due any credit for knowing a dam thing really, everything I do know, since the day I was born, comes from me learning from everyone else that knows more about shit than I do...everything I know comes from someone else, everything I've yet to learn will come from someone else, a book, a conversation, a documentary or TV report, a website, a forum post.
...and I talk too much...

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
Well...good posting job, VB! I was begining to feel like being a flawed person was a rare thing!
I annoy people here by being a total bitch sometimes, I try to do things with humor AND frankness, but just end up coming off as a bitch..why do I even do it? Okay...ya'all think it's wise for the website owner to piss people off and be hated? Nope...let me do that for him! I wish I were better at it, and it is your feedback that does help me improve...if everyone here loved me...I'd go stagnant!
....and I talk too much...

Don't worry about being too annoying to me during sex. I'm sure I could stand it for the whole two minutes. I have will power......

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
Hmmmmmmm How I annoy people. That would take a book. lol But here are a few. I know I annoy my hubby because I like to be early leaving when we go places. To me being on time is being there 20 minutes early. Drives him crazy because I pace the floor while waiting for him to get out of the shower. I also annoy my hubby and youngest son when I ask them if they will empty the trash. They always say, "I'll do it after this show is over". Well, I don't have freaking time for the show to be over, so I always do it myself! Then I grump about having to do it. Another group of people that I know I annoy are the temps that I have to bring in on occasion for some of my jobs. When they whine at me because of a job I ask them to do, I always let them know that I don't ask them to do anything that I haven't done before and will continue to do whether they are there or not! lol Well, I know there are several others, but like I said that would take a book!

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
My husband has made me aware of a horrible rude habit I've been developing...and that is heaving a big sigh out loud...I sure don't mean it the way I'm sure others see it...it's just that with 9 "special needs" pets in the house, and a helpless-as-a-five-year-old husband...I'm just tired and overwhelmed allot of the time...gotta stop doing that though, it's gotta be so annoying to those around me!

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
I realize I talk about my flying aerial stunts a lot, which I'm sure irritates most people, but thats all I did for so long, thats about all I know. I've been known to be a smart ass at times. The fact that I'm hyper means my feet are always moving, which just drives my dad crazy

I whistle a lot, especially at work, except in the bathroom. All over the work place I whistle, on the elevator I whistle and some co-workers would shout "SHUT UP!" as I pass each floor. I don't think my whistling is bad,

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
Oh wow...I sure have worked with whistlers like you sitecingman!
Most of the time I find it cheerful, but there were moments when I wanted to just scream at 'em!
I can be annoying as a procrastinator,,,there are just some things I hate to do, they are not big things, sometimes just little but annoying things, like making certain phone calls, etc.....I hate being nagged, but sometimes I need to be nagged into doing these little things.

Re: The double standards of our "inner self"...
OK...you asked for it...you got it...I have MANY flaws with my inner self and people have commented numerous times about some of them so here goes:
At work I have a group of constituents that have to follow certain rules, if they don't I have the authority to take their ability to do business away. I make people mad on a daily basis because instead of sitting listening to them bitch and whine all friggin' day I direct them to what then need to do and say things like..."Well, let me tell you how you can take care of this..." I'm always extremely nice about it and it just pisses them off. I actually had an asshole write a letter to my boss telling them that I was "too nice" and I was condescending to them by being so kind.
I talk too much...
I've been told I'm too perky. A guy at work told me I could be a poster girl for Starbuck's...which I love but don't drink often because I wouldn't sleep.
I talk too much...(Chazzy, you aren't the only one!!!)
I love to shop way too much, I love shoes, I love clothes, I love purses...I love...OK, you get the picture.
I talk too much...
I am a consummate smart ass, there is always something that I comment on...
I talk too much...
I can shred a person into little bitty pieces verbally and they aren't certain until they walk away that I've just handed them a piece of their ass on a platter because I was so nice about it...
I talk too much...
I expect too much from people because I give so much of myself...I've been told this is a huge character flaw. I'm an all in kind of a girl, if I love, I love with all of my heart. If I want to do something I never do it halfway, it always has to be spectacular. My friends hate to do things at their house because they think they have to do it like me...I don't expect everyone to do things like I do, I just expect that from myself (my husband would probably not agree with that).
I talk too much (verbally and in writing)...
The list will go on as I think of more...
