People who say what and then responds to me anyway. If you heard me, why did you say what? This is a processing issue very common with people on the autism spectrum. It's like we hear speech, but don't register the content of the words until we engage back verbally. I do this always, as does my daughter. |

Waiting at a drive-through ATM and the person in front of me takes 10 minutes. What are they doing?!?

Whenever someone asks me a question when I’m about to drink water or something similar.

My office has about 40 people in it. This is almost a birthday a week.
If you only knew how much of my time I spend hiding the fact that I am signing a birthday card.

I'm not on the spectrum at all, I just know a lot of people who speak low and/or fast, and it's like it buys me a second to process. I also repeat things back to let the person know I heard them, for example: Person: We're meeting around 6:30-7 o'clock. Me: 6:30-7. Person: Yep. |

I also repeat things back to let the person know I heard them, for example: Person: We're meeting around 6:30-7 o'clock. Me: 6:30-7. Person: Yep. I'm not autistic, but I have an auditory processing disorder severe enough it was originally mistaken for a hearing problem, as in, I had surgery on my ears that didn't fix a thing. It gets frustrating, asking people to repeat themselves only to suddenly process what they said. People might figure well, if you know you're just going to get it in a moment, why not just wait a beat instead of asking them to repeat what they said, but the problem then is a) I don't want to completely miss anything they say after while I'm still processing the first part and b) it's not always a guarantee I'll "get it", and sometimes really do require the replay. Funny side note, this also makes it near impossible for me to hear song lyrics when sung. For example, I didn't realize that the original "Prince Ali" had a running narrative going with the sight gags until the Will Smith version of the song came out and people were comparing the two versions. And to bring this back around to the thread topic, I hate when people get huffy about repeating themselves  Sorry dude, I fail to process everyone's speech equally, you're not getting special treatment! [ETA: I was aiming that last bit at an ex of mine I should have known better than to date] |

Not on the spectrum, just deal with people who say incomprehensible things more often than not. Less, "What? I didn't understand;" more, "What the hell are you talking about???" |

Shoe laces that come undone even though you know you tied them correctly and snug yet you walk a block and they just come loose. But then you come home and when you try to untie them they knot up and the struggle begins
When I ask for a coke at a bar and the waitress serves it to me in a glass mug with a straw like I am some sort of kid. But if I order a beer they give me the same mug without a straw. Why would you think I would drink a coke any differently?
When people put a straw in their pop can and don't use the hole on the top of the tab to hold it in place. And it just leans there all lackadaysical

People pay for a bottle of water, then only drink half of it and toss it in the regular trash instead of recycling.

I can hear my wife's teeth CLANK when she eats jello or pudding.
"Do you really have a chew like a damn horse to get that pudding down?" I said once. Like an idiot. 20 years ago. Still get reminded at least on a weekly basis about it.
She still does it. She chews freakin' pudding. The American kind not the British Kind. The kind you can basically drink. Chews it. LIKE CLANK CLANK CLANK MY TEETH ARE HAMMERING LIKE PISTONS IN AN ENGINE.

Most sports interviews before/during/after a game. It's forever the same dumb questions and the same boilerplate answers (play physical, put pucks on net, etc.).

People who say what and then responds to me anyway. If you heard me, why did you say what? Yes! Growing up my siblings and I weren’t allowed to say what to our parents or grandparents. I didn’t get it at the time but now it annoys me to get what’ as a response when I say something. People who go ahhh after drinking something. My roommate does this. I give him the death stare every time. Smokers who do their gimmick my entryways. I don’t want to smell that foul stench as I enter or exit a building. Those kiosk people at the mall. Not all of them just the lotion and shoe cleaner people. I get it you probably work off commission but I already said no thanks once. |

I put in for three days of PTO over the next month. Made plans to do stuff with the family on all three days. Excited.
Today at work they announced three activities. A free breakfast for all employees the day before Thanksgiving. A Toys For Tots fundraiser where they will be collecting toys, selling fresh baked pies, and letting us play with puppies from the dog kennel across the street. And finally, our company Holiday Party which will be held at Dave and Buster’s this year.
Guess who’s got two thumbs and is going to miss all three events because he already has those days off. This guy.

Cigarette smoke can make me physically sick, so I told the guy, that I don't smoke. It makes me sick. He asked me if I would be willing to start, to fill his quota. |
