What are your biggest pet peeves?

[PaleoEuropean]

People who beat around the bush. Basically all this waffling by "John Adams" for instance:



Get to the point: "How much money do you seek ?" Also notice that the Dutch remark that he is "modest" - "bescheiden" is a compliment.

Not a big Adams fan myself.

I’m confrontational and I always speak what’s on my mind.
Also I have a good sense of when someone is making an indirect side comment, it irks me like no other.

I am pretty bad at detecting those, save for father who likes telling some BS about me or other people that I am somehow alive to. But I also speak my mind sometimes to the point of being tactless.

Conspiracy theorists. Especially those who advocate the dismantling of functioning institutions due to their irrational fears.

And the sheeple who are always looking to the state to solve their problems rather than creating their own solutions or opportunities.

People who don't shut up.

Haha, I don’t have a problem with others crying. I’m very nurturing.
But I can’t cry. I have only cried in front of like 3 people in my entire life.

Yea I don't have a problem with it fundamentally, something about it just agitates me, I can pull it together and be there for people though. Sincere crying is not as bad to me, but drama queen crying is just so annoying to me that I can barely take it in person . I can empathize though, just the physical sound of crying evokes my fight or flight mechanism I think. My wires are a little crossed in that regard.

Me neither, but that was a great mini-series.

Very well made, I have seen it a couple times.

People who chew with their mouth open.
