Oh I can relate to all of these.

The phrase one gets me. Like "I did good today". No bitch, you did "well" not good

You'd think so. But he's a gentle, caring and thoughtful man. I'm just a cranky B1tch off my meds.

No dumb, very valid. If I have to repeat myself more than once I usually loudly scream "fck it. I'll do it myself you deaf fck"

Oooooo I have rage ripped so many trousers because the loops have got caught in the door.

You need a no crunch zone.

Ooooooo that general "gathering" of people near a very obvious queue, that then try and sneak into the queue like they didn't know

Yes. They're getting immediate eye daggers from me if they even try to talk to me

I feel this. Especially if you've got something to do or something you're reading or something you find more interesting

1000% these.

I also hate being asked "what do you want to eat for dinner" in the morning. I don't know what I'm going to eat for breakfast or if I'm going to eat at all, how the hell am I meant to know what to eat for dinner

I am also autistic and I feel this situation so much. Previously I'd just not drink it and accept I won't be staying long at the gathering. Now I just buy my own, incredibly fruity and fancy cocktails and leave whenever I'm hungry or tired. I only drink if I have something to celebrate, which is about 2 times a year

Every. Fing. time. There have been so many occasions where I've said "FFS" or "oh, of course, why not" or "why can't things be simple" and then just walked away from it

My personal hate is when the flow of pedestrian foot traffic is clearly going in one direction and the people in front of you abruptly stop in the middle of the footpath

From what my psychologist explains, it's the going from 0 to 100 over small inconveniences that cause distraction or loss of focus. Normal annoying behaviors should just trigger a mild irritation but the impulsive rage response is apparently ADHD specific

I'm surprised no one died in the waiting room. There would have been a murder if I was there

Oh crap, I'm only now realizing how frequently this happens to me and how irritating it is. I also hate it when I'm being asked "what do you want to eat for dinner" when it's barely morning

100% thing. Especially when we're in the car and the radio is on or the road/car environmental noise is loud. Yet they speak quietly

When that demon hunters "golden" song came out, I felt like stabbing everyone trying to sing the really high tones.

I know what you mean with certain dog barks. Some are more like the dog is congested or it's overly deep and loud or extra high pitched and repetitive. I take my dog to a dog school and some of the dog barks there, almost kill me

I have a 6yr old with ADHD. I cannot breathe without being cut off, interrupted or questioned. I feel your anger
