Are you annoying?

I just read this article about annoying habits at work http://content.comcast.monster.com/...g-Habits-at-Work/home.aspx?WT.mc_n=comcast007 , . . thank goodness I don't do any of those things but it got me thinking what do I do that is annoying? I know when I get nervous when talking in a group I tend to talk over people. Also because I'm a type A personality I am extremely impatient and always have to have a plan or a course of action. Sometimes I make hastely decisions that ultimately end up making a situation worse because I'm always in a hurry to try to make things right. I'm sure my kids and husband would be able to tell you more but that is all I've got for now.
 
I have a loud laugh. Most of the time, I forget to tone it down, and I'm sure some people find it irritating. I try though!

My cousin and I have the same laugh, and we can always hear each other before we see each other. :D
 
Whew! Checked it out - none of them are me! Thank goodness! I can be annoying though. I know it, my husband knows it, and all my friends know it! When I get nervous, I just ramble, and sometimes I get so off subject, I completely don't make sense! I tend to complain a lot about other people at work, but I've been working on that one and I must say I have improved quite a bit! So, I would call that a recovering annoyance!

i say "i'm sorry" too much. my husband hates it. i hate that i am so apologetic all the time.

sorry for this post.. lol
 
I find myself so annoying!

I tend to be too negative - lots of complaints. I am really working on that one, because it's not good for me and nobody else needs to hear it.

When I'm with a group of people, and am nervous, I don't talk at all. When I'm alone with someone, and if they're not super chatty, I talk too much.

I say really stupid things because I want to be funny. But I'm just not that funny and I look like a jerk.

I can't tell a story and I have a bad memory. Both of those things are annoying alone, but when I'm trying to tell a (bad) story and I can't remember most of its details... well, be glad you don't have to have a conversation with me in person!

I know there's much more...

Well, I do fart a lot, but thankfully that's not on the list so I guess the answer is "no".

Whew, . .my husband does the same thing! I really hate it when he thinks it is so funny to trap me and the kids in a fart tent! We'll all be reading in our bed then he'll fart and lift the sheets over our heads. The kids think it's funny, . . .me not so much. :)

You are so funny, hopefully there's no one around... But seriously, there are two guys in my office that go stand by the water cooler and rip away, and I'm like 'yeah, that's annoying' but what do you say to it? Besides f*ing pigs under my breath (btw, there are others in the office :))
 
I don't think I'm annoying at work. Only outside the office.

Oh my goodness, Ellejay, what an adorable doggie! Is it a pup?

My husband calls that a Dutch Oven. :D

I think I probably am annoying. I'm very shy in person but try to get past it by launching myself at conversations. I usually end up talking too much or not making much sense. With my loved ones I can be impatient and crabby. DH gets annoyed by my habit of never completely closing a lid or cap. :)

LOL, I see myself the same way, maybe we're twins separated at birth?

I should have read further. maybe we're triplets separated at birth.

I can be a gas bag. I do try to hold them in when around other people but sometimes they just slip out when you don't expect them to. :(

Or sometimes you can go for a left-cheek-sneak and hope to God no one comes into your office.

Yes I am annoying

I interrupt. I used to talk on my phone in restaurants. I will drive the speed limit in the fast lane when passing a truck doing half the speed limit. Its just that I'm driving a full suv that is very old and can't go any faster without falling apart :p
 
wait there is more

I also say I"m sorry too much.
I'm too negative.
I used to say mean things in an attempt to be funny, it wasn't, and now I'm better about that.
Now, when I'm annoyed with someone's incompetence I say mean things but I think I need to shift that behavior.
 
I love this thread :)

I don't think I'm annoying in the office, except for the most part I go straight into my office and shut the door so I can get my work done, I think some people are annoyed by that -- I do socialize but not to the extent of the others in my office.

Outside of the office . . . .

I'm kind of gassy too.
I have a problem closing kitchen cabinets.
I leave the dishwasher door open and down for hours on end because "I just have one more thing to put in there" even though I'm still using it :rolleyes:
I apologize WAY to much.

I'm sure there is more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head
 
Tami! I'm glad I have a soulmate in that department :D. I think I would be less annoying if I weren't so self-conscious!

Oh, and don't even get me started on the gas problem! I think my social life has been permanently destroyed because of it!
