    My son refuses to put tea bags straight into the food bin on the side of the kitchen counter. He insists it's ok to put them in the little pot that holds the teaspoon used for making tea. They are literally inches apart from each other!!!

    Lots of standard things annoy like rudeness or aggression or hypocrisy but something I think maybe more unique to me:

    When someone is in a bad mood for whatever reason, it could well be a justified reason, but they then take that frustration out on innocent people by being miserable or grumpy towards them as well

    I am aware that most people can't really help it and don't do it out of malice so maybe it's an irrational thing to be annoyed about, but it bothers me and I try hard not to do it, maybe I do also do it without realising though

    People vaping inside. Vaping is an individual choice which I respect. But not inside public buildings.

    Also, dog owners taking their (not assistance) dogs into public places they don't need to be. I am pathologically afraid of dogs so this has made my life much more complicated. Adding to that, people who let their dogs off lead and run up to strangers and then laugh and say they're friendly. Well, fine. So am I, mostly. I bet they wouldn't be happy if I ran up to them and jumped up at their legs...

    People playing music or videos out loud on buses and trains. Or eating right next to me. Or sitting next to me on the bus when most of the other seats are empty.

    Hurting plants and killing bugs.

    What gets me down is the fact verbally loud people have to come and sit right next to me. On Saturday I went into a very large and empty bar. I was playing on my tablet (earphones on so not annoying anyone). A group of people came in and sat right next to me. Their mouths were very loud. Then another group came in and sat directly behind me with their loud mouths. It is either Energy Vampirism or Safety in Numbers. Why do people have to come and sit right by you and shout?

    People who overstay their welcome, such as the Tory government persisting in retaining control despite all statistical indications to the contrary.

    People in public places playing loud games/music on their phone. 

    Street Salesmen/Charity Vendors that pester you when just trying to get past to the shops and won't take no for an answer. 

    Religious people shoving their beliefs and religion down other peoples throats who don't want to hear it. 

    People sitting next to you on the bus/school kids shouting and screaming on the bus or playing loud music.

    Shops that don't have a self checkout and the cashier rushing you to pay when your trying to bag items. I feel so flustered as I'm trying to pack as quick as possible.

    Shopping at christmas, hate christmas music in shops, dislike brass bands as too noisy blasting their music and hate the crowds of people shopping who seem stressed and rude.

    Too crowded areas or shopping centres (I avoid like the plague) as too busy and noisy and are a sensory overload.
    I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

    Oh, I forgot the charity vendors.

    I had abuse yelled at me recently by one of them because I avoided their intrusive clipboard waving and  walked on by. 

    They are manifestly not autism friendly.

    When someone nags me to do something, then doesn't notice it's been done

    Eg.  Loose skirting board, my wife kept on for days for me to paint it and fit it ...  2 weeks later hasn't noticed it's been done  ;)

    We have a sign on our door that says no salesmen, junk mail or cold callers, but some people ignore the sign and knock anyway. And we still get junk mail posted through. Grrrr.

    Put a notice on your door saying that you charge £5 per minute to listen to sales patter and this must be paid in advance.
