You do know that sometimes that's the proper thing to do, right?
Like when I'm trying to get my ear to drain through the auditory tube, but it won't, that snorting helps, right?
Snort away, Prince of Darkness. . . but if it is as noisy as I have described, do please excuse yourself from the company if possible. What youd describe does not make me ill, but the other does. I know people that consistently do this--every day of their lives.
I'm just giving you a hard time.
If I had a bagette, I'd have hit you with it already.
What about people who think they know what you are going to say and try to chime in and finish every sentence for you (or with you)? My neighbor does that and it is a bit annoying!

usually they are nice. he works like a dog and she is insane. he says she started out as a nice person. but over the years... and i believe she is quite deaf so she can't hear anything but screaming.
I hate it when people interrupt me, or when they keep talking OVER me. I also hate it when people say things they don't think I can hear. . . only I have EXCELLENT hearing. This mostly happens with my students at work.

I have to say, my girlfriend does that and it really annoys me. If someone is speaking to her and she has a thought, whether relevant or not, she'll just say it, even if the other person is still speaking. It's one of the few things that makes me want to punch her. I think it's the way she was raised, because her mum does it too.

I don't mind too much when people simply interrupt, and then realize they have and stop. I do the same thing on ocassion, and then I stop myself and apologize. It's more the people who do as you say, Cov.

peoples children running wild because they have "add." no they don't have a disease. they are little terrors and you are a piss poor parent. and you make it harder for any kid who actually has some sort of issue.
Agreed. Actual ADD/ADHD is genuinely hard to cope with, as I understand it. Having a short attention span and a lot of energy doesn't mean a child has ADD - it means it's a child.

Indeed. And just because a child has ADD doesn't give someone license to be a crappy parent. They still need to enforce rules.

Prosity is the tonality that can be imparted to what you are saying... so essentially, I hate it when people end everything like it's a question? Even when it's not? It's really annoying? Especially when done constantly?

Oh lordy. Last year I worked at the partners' retreat with these women from the marketing office? And the two of them would communicate like that? Where every sentence they said to each other? Ended with that tonal uplift? I thought I was going to have to kill them? You know?
