Step into the confessional . . . what do you do that annoys others? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I am temporarily boarding with a platonic friend right now, using his spare bedroom until I move to Charleston, Illinois in late July.

Anyway, my friend prefers washing all dishes by filling up the sink with soap and hot water. But whenever I have only very few dishes to wash, and they're not extremely dirty, I wash them under warm, running water. If I have more dishes to do, and they're greasy or something, then I wash them the way my friend prefers.

That annoys him for some reason, even though I get the dishes clean.

Hey, you know none of my friends or family has pointed this out, but sometimes I think I might talk loudly on the phone too.

i tend to do it at bad times, and my freidns are quick to point it out

we'll just be sitting in a cafeteria, and a girl will walk by, and i'll say "Ryan, is that that girl you f'ed last week?" a bit louder than i should have

that one actually turned into a running joke by my friend Deep (he's indian, that IS his name). He will walk up to a friend, point to a girl, and as loudly as possible, say "HERRRRRR JOE? THATS THE ONE?" or stuff like that.

funny kid, that jackass.

I am sorry, but the "fill the sink" ,ethod makes no sense to me? will not all the water be filled with scummy soap? It saves water, fine, but how effective is it?

Even when I have a huge amount of dishes to clean, I always do it under running water.

And GePap, if you want to ask my friend, I can give you his e-mail address.

And by the way -- you cannot step into the confessional and leave without confessing.

Washing an hygeine habits are incredibly personal things.

Personally I'm with your flat mate on this one. Soap will kill bugs, hot water just encourages the little devils.

As my my annoying habits - my posts on Poly often get up people's noses.

My long hair drives many up the wall.

My unreasonably reasonable attitude has driven many to aboslute fury.

And my habit of picking up recently dropped litter and handing it back to the guilty party often leads to violence. I'm trying to stop that one - but it's a case of cause and effect.

I whistle and sing a lot, to the annoyance of coworkers. I can usually find a song for almost anything anybody says.

I, too, tend to talk very loudly when drunk. This has led to a few bad moments, especially when guy-watching at a bar and my friends and I will make comments (complimentary or catty).

I am like a radar dish and can easily eavesdrop on other conversations.

For some odd reason, I seem to have a Ninja-like ability to move absolutely silent. This has enabled me to stand behind colleagues for some time without them noticing, and when I speak it scares the living crap out of them. I (usually) don't do it on purpose. My friend Julie is convinced that one day she'll find me scampering along the walls in a black outfit.

I'm horrible about e-mail correspondence, which irks my friends and family to no end.

Generally, I find it annoys others when I try to tell them about things that I couldn't possibly have personal knowledge of.

You know. Like what was on Northerner's minds in the mid-1800's.
That sort of thing.

I think that happens a lot with other people, too.
