What Drives You Up the Wall?

We all see certain character traits in others that turn us off. My pet peeve is bossiness. I just hate when people try to control their friends and family, sometimes to the nth degree. To me, if you ask "what should I do?" THAT is when you want advice. If you didn't ask "what should I do?" people shouldn't be telling you.
I'm just curious as to what personality traits drive my friends at myLot crazy. What is it that annoys you most?

People who blow their noses at the table when eating out.
We were out on a patio a few days ago, having a meal, and a few tables over a man blew his nose.
I shot him a look.
He just said really loud, I have allergies its not covid.
I wanted to shout back, it still is not polite to blow your nose where others are eating, use the washroom.
But I shut up.
And I know that he didn't wash his hands after that episode, but he could have if he were in the washroom.

Blech. I don't want to see that when I'm eating either.

Rude behavior always being late without a call, dragging feet instead of walking properly, just being generally inconsiderate.

@TheHorse My father was like my husband, always 5 minutes early, he waited outside "not to be rude", I am the same, my niece is a pain, a few times we did not wait for her, we started to dine without waiting, but she will never learn the lesson.

@CinnamonGrl I also don't like bossiness either. But I think my answer to this post would be I really do not like liars and people who are so judgemental. It really annoys me when people are so ignorant about others.

I think on different days I would have different answers to my own post.

@CinnamonGrl I know what you mean. Sometimes our thoughts can vary on how we feel or what we have been through during the day.

@CinnamonGrl Heh heh. Actually no. I was just thinking of a certain friend of mine. Ironically (or appropriately?), she's an accountant.

People who try to interfere all the time.
They like to tell you what to do but they would not like it very much if you were to do the same to them.

That is irritating. I haven't had to hear that sound for awhile, thank goodness!

@CinnamonGrl I haven't either since I retired. It could be bad at times when I was working. We were in cubicles and the girl on the other side of me would always chew gum and smack and blow bubbles that popped. I'm so glad I don't have to listen to that anymore.

I have a friend who plays about half a chord on guitar and gives me advice about how to improve my guitar playing. He also know everything about everything else. Which leads to me second pet peeve. People who do not listen, and interrupt you in mid-sentence. Sorry. I'd better stop. It's only 12:45 PM and I feel like a need a drink now.

Yes, that's another one! But not a character trait, lol

@CinnamonGrl Oh right, then I would have to say mean-spirited. Everyone has imperfections. Is it to cover those up that people disrespect others hurtfully?

Same here. It's okay to have a boss but if the person or boss tries to control people and the only option is 'to say yes'.
