Swingers Forum - What irritates you...about yourself.

It's not uncommon for people to vent about the car that cuts in front of them, or the cell phone in the movie theater, but what do you do that really just makes you angry.

So first, here's my apology, I'm the guy that cuts you off. Not every time, but there are days when I feel like Dale Earhart's ghost is sitting on my shoulder saying, "The speed limit's 65, they won't pull you over unless you're doing at least 7 miles over the limit, and this heap can go 90 if you're feeling dangerous." That and a burning desire to not be late to work(if it's in the morning) or to get home to Bunnee, (if it's evening) and I'll take that sweet spot right in front of you.

Then I type too much. If you ever meet me, treasure every word I speak, you might not hear another all night. I clam up like a nun's butt in a strip club. But put me in front of a keyboard, or give me a pencil and a notebook, and I can give you the looong end of the English language.

Anyway, happy swinging.
I hate talking on the phone so I don't answer it. I wish I could get over it but that doesn't seem like it is going to happen. I will get on the computer and answer every single email from my friends & family but I just HATE to talk on the phone.
what really gets my goat is ignorance and appathy. But then I don't know what I'm talking about and I don't care.
LOL
however my main pet peeve is lack of Christianty in this world. By this I mean when was the last time you saw someone having car problems and pooled over to help, or at least called someone to help them. Instead most people will pull up behind them and lean on their horn, as if by magic that is going to make the problem disappear. Now I don't mean ladies should help because well you never know what may be out there but you could pull over and see if they need a hand, to make a call. No people will pull behind and act if the driver of the car that is having problems did it at that time just to be a pain in the ass to them.
I'm a cusser...have a horrible sailors mouth that sometimes overshadows the fact..that I on some occassions can be fairly intelligent. Plus it just seems wrong coming out of something that highly resembles a Japanese amimae girl - The Mrs.
SUGARBRITCHES: I have the same problem. I don't necesarily mind talking on the phone if I know who it is and they called me, but I hate having to call people. And I won't answer the phone unless I know who it is. If it's an unknown number I won't answer.
HELLO_KITTY-I'm so glad to hear someone else struggles with this too. The worse thing that I dread is "WHO is this?" when someone answers after I've called. I've been known to just panic and hang up. I do better with business calls since there is no expectation to know or remember each other. I hate this about myself but I just don't seem to be able to get past it. It sucks in this lifestyle where couples often ask to speak with both halves of the couple. I try to get by with talking while hubby is on speaker phone so they know that a female DOES exist.
I also have a major problem talking on the phone. I don't even have a cell phone. I don't mind answering phones, but my problem is having to call people. I never know how people are going to react, or quite what to say. Whenever possible I always meet in person to explain something. I don't have any problem when it is face to face. I also don't have any problem chatting, it is just some reason I hate phones. I guess it is the fact that I can't see the persons face, so I don't know how well I am explaining myself, or how they are reacting. Strange phobias I guess.. Would that be called telephonobia
I am an extreme perfectionist to the point it drives me nuts. While everyone else is satisfied with the job I have done, I see obvious flaws and want to correct them before I can walk away.

Although I have been told by many that I am a very patient man, I feel like I could always use a little more.
Insecurity- always taking rejection personally.
