Putting on clothes when my skin is still wet, staying out past 9pm, people who say ‘oh we MUST do lunch’, but don’t really mean it, cats, and cat hair, waterloo station and drunk people 🙂
-Clothing that isn't soft or that's made out of synthetic fibers (like polyester).
-Noise that is loud (including drunk people: they always seem to need to speak even louder than they usually would) or that is repetitive (like a clock).
-Socks.
-Waiting in line whether it be in person, on the phone or in a car in traffic.
How fun this is, dear Michelle, to be able to express my dislikes!!! Mind you, I'll have to make an effort to limit myself to 3 to 5 things! I'll proceed with a list like you.
1 a) Bad phone etiquette i.e. people who speak to me using their speakerphone, whether it is a business call or a personal one. (I'm speaking into a landline phone.) It is very frustrating when it is a personal call and the person calling is very well aware that I have processing issues. It's downright rude!
1 b) Bad listening skills: people texting or looking at their cell phone while we are engaged in a conversation--or are we?! Actually, people who do not make eye contact.
1 c) People who cut you off during a conversation while you are making efforts to be concise. They don't even apologise while doing so! I hate the phrase "I'll cut you off right there."!
1 d) Hating myself for not being able to respond quickly or to have a comeback while being cut off during a conversation.
2. Being called BRIDGET or BRIDGETTE instead of Brigitte (soft "g" without the "d" sound attached to the soft g and second French "i" sound after the g-- not "è" like Suzette, Colette, Georgette!).
3. Mornings.
4. Bad drivers.
5. Not being able to express my dislikes by people who claim to be positive. We're not in La La Land here!

Merci Michelle ! This was liberating!

I don't like Paella after all! Lol!
Traffic, ambiguity, summer camp registration and drunk people!
