    I used to get a thrill out of committing small social faux pas, I imagine they annoyed some people.

    My favourites were:

    (1) When someone asks you to guess how much something cost, make a guess which is either much larger or much smaller than the amount they're about to say, depending on the direction they intend (how cheap vs how expensive).

    (2) Hold doors open for people who are greater than approximately 3 meters away, often they will half run to the door then thank you out of politeness despite the mild inconvenience and stress you have caused them.

    (3) When someone is telling you a story you have heard many, many times before, interject at the punchline or critical moment by repeating it in the same tone of voice and delivery that they usually present it in.

    So I suppose 'me' would be a good answer for some of the people in my life.

    Used to...?

    Here are a few more:

    • Accepting gratitude or praise directed at someone else.
    • When someone you're with says "sorry" to someone, follow it up with "I'm not".
    • If someone stutters or gets their words muddled up, mimic them immediately.

    This reminds me of the time when I was a teenager and I waited at the side of the road for a car to stop to let me cross. Then, once a car had stopped, I stuck my middle finger up at the driver and walked away from the road without crossing.

    I haven't done it since then, but I still find that one funny. If I did it again, I wouldn't stick my middle finger up. I would just give them a taunting grin and slowly walk away.

    1. People not answering my questions.
    2. People assuming my questions to always be sarcastic and attacking me when I'm serious.
    3. People not considering other ideas.
    4. People stubbornly clinging to an empty argument when it doesn't make sense.
    5. People telling me my idea is wrong, but not explaining why it is wrong, and not offering a solution.
    6.People.

    1. Chewing gum in a professional setting. The hate I silently feel is all consuming.
    2. If I ask multiple questions in an email and get a response to only some.
    3. Someone having their secretary call me and then asking that I wait for them to go get them so they can talk to me.
    4. Someone attempting to impose their OCD rules on me.
    5. Not texting me when you're going to be late
    6. Thinking your drunken humor is funny.
    7. Complaining at a restaurant with an expectation you'll get something for free.
    8. Using profane language in a public place.
    9. Deciding what I'll eat or when I'll eat lunch for me.

    I'm sure there's more.

    Whistling, customers who think they're being witty by repeating the same idiotic clichés that I am forced to put up with at work (e.g. "Last of the big spenders", "I made that one this morning"), and anyone attempting to resist my imposition of OCD rules on them.

    It has gotten worse. My neighbour now has a newborn. Disgusting noisy little creature. Sometimes if I accidentally drop something at night, it startles it, and it begins to let out that horrible noise until it settles back down again.

    I usually say "Yes you are." and they look at me really weird. Most people don't know they other uses of sorry.

    When I was in college we used to play follow the leader. Sometimes there were 40 people. The first would stand at the side of the road and just and wait for a car to stop. When the car was getting ready to move the next one would step out. You can imagine how that went on. That used to get people pissed of.

    People who are like cats -- who are very picky about who they will talk to, socialize with, purr for, sit next to, have sex with, etc, and {i}especially when they condescend to grace one with their presence.[/i] Elitist snobs, in other words. I lift my leg on them.Bitter Crank

    Funny enough, I was going to write the complete opposite before I started reading... and the whole cat/dog dichotomy nails it much better than I could've.

    I can't stand the fact that some of my friends have so little judgement about who they talk to, socialize, have sex with, etc... That they refuse to judge and understand that they are, simply, better than those they decide to spend most of their lives with, and that it could, so to speak, lower the common denominator...
