Last weekend while I sat in Church, a little girl behind me spent her time slowly tearing the bulletin into tiny pieces. I am sure that her parents thought that this at least kept her quiet, but the sound of it over and over again made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up for most of the service. I wasn’t annoyed with her it is just that sound does something to me. Similarly, I was in a long meeting today and had brought my protein bar with me to make sure I could make it through the meeting. I was trying to open it very slowly as to not make a bunch of noises or be distracting when the guy sitting next to me whispers, “just open the thing”! Sorry, I thought I was being kind when what I was really doing was annoying everyone around me! We all have those blind spots, the things we do, not maliciously but because we don’t know they bug others. Some of them we do to our mates. Hopefully, your most annoying habits are ones that don’t annoy the ones closest to you! That way you can keep on doing them without much consequence, otherwise they are going to have to go!
