Tell me about the things that infuriate you but there is no reason for them to do so.

Mine is someone 'helping ' me to reverse my car using various hand features and noises, when ive not asked them to It drives me INSANE and yet they are only trying to help.

Well meaning people helping me when I am not struggling with something, and then having to start again because they have inadvertently messed it all up. I know the had the best intentions... so I have to smile and keep calm and not scream at them

Being tapped to get my attention, I can't stand it. I'm a tactile person and don't shy away from contact with others, but this just instantly makes me irritable

That's the only way anyone can attract my attention, unless they wave their hands in front of my face, as I shut off the auditory channel when I'm engrossed in what I doing. Tapping me shocks the kinaesthetic channel into emerging from my 'trance like' state.

I learned to shut it off so I could concentrate in otherwise distracting environments. Anyone who tries to get my attention by calling me, unless they start bawling at me, is likely to need to be very patient.

Those 'resealable' packets of food (pasta, raisins etc) which you can never open anyway without ripping the whole bag open and the sticker that's supposed to seal it is never sticky. Makes me completely disproportionately furious and I want to hurl the thing at the head of the Tesco customer services person and demand my money back

I'd forgotten about that one. I used to work with a woman who used to sniff every 20 or so seconds whether she had a cold or not. It really irritated me, I had to move offices to get away from her, only to end up next to a guy with bo who slurped his coffee

Going to the supermarket to find the wines and beers are at the furthest end. You search the shelves for half and hour after your hike for a bottle of plonk that you have no idea if it'll taste good or not and end up giving up, getting pizza and crisps instead.

Ethnic cleansing etc is pure evil but maybe there should be some type of cleansing of those who're causing such irrational distress?

My pain isn't fully irrational but relates to those who wander around, seemingly oblivious to your presence - shoving past, bumping into you, getting too close and possibly smelling unfresh.
