I really want to make friends and to just get to know people more, and I think this is the perfect way to do that. Every day, I will ask a new question on this thread, you can feel free to answer or ignore them as you wish.
My first question of the day is:
What is something that wouldn't bother most people that causes you to feel angry?

Being talked to in the middle of me already doing something else.
If I look busy that means I am busy, either leave me alone or ask if I have time to give you my attention before you go off. If you just walk up to me and start talking there is a 100% chance I am not actually understanding anything I'm being told, I'm just hearing word salad in my brain because I'm still focused on what I was doing and trying to hear you gab at the same time.

I agree with this a lot, this also reminds me of something else that's irritating, when people ask you something/tell you something, and just assume you heard/understood them without even confirming it, and then they get mad at you for it, because if you're trying to tell someone something from the other side of a house where music, video games, etc are usually playing pretty loudly, then chances are, they probably won't hear you and if they can hear you, they probably won't be able to understand you. I have a pretty hard time understanding what someone is saying unless I can see them talking, my hearing isn't bad or anything, in fact, it's above average, but for some reason, I have a hard time making sense of someone's words if I can't see them talking.

In my case I just text him even if he is right next to me cause he is always glued to his phone so the chances of him reading my texts are higher than him listening to me. But I swear he like chooses when I have my music on on purpose to ask me the most important stuff, like yesterday I was listening to bass boosted versions of songs and he walks in without me even noticing to tell me we might be late on a bill this month but I didn't even notice him and then when I did I took my headphones off and he had the audacity to ask me if I heard him like?????????? NO?????? OF COURSE I DIDN'T?

Woww, I don't really know anything about your roommate so I can't say that this is the case for sure, but from things I have experienced, or people I know have experienced, it kind of sounds like he's looking for any reason to get angry, because some people just wanna rage at people for no reason, and they gotta cherry pick every excuse under the sun to make it seem like it's not their fault. I'm usually not this negative or complaining btw, but just talking about things that irritate me and stuff has opened a floodgate of irritation.

My two biggest ones are when people talk to me while I have both earbuds in, and when people (especially ones I've known for years) mispronounce/misspell my name and/or call me the wrong name.

smallflyThey really don't know. My nickname (which is what pretty much everyone uses) is commonly used for two names, and I've had conversations with people I've known for a long time who though my name was the other name it's used for. On top of that, both my nickname and real name have many common spellings and nobody gets it right on the first try, and I know people who have been misspelling my name for years no matter how many times I correct them.

I don't blame you for being mad since the ones who've known your name for years, yet can't be bothered to learn how to spell it properly.

The color red. Orange is fine though. Me being a Gryffindor (house colors are red and gold) does not help.

QOTD 2: Have you ever grown a plant? What kind of plant was it, and if you haven't grown any, which ones would you want to grow?My answer: I never really had much luck at growing a plant, but if I did grow some, I'd grown stuff like moss, lichen, mould, and mushrooms.

Yes! I'm awful at keeping veggies and succulents alive (rip my tomato, aloe Vera, and opalina), but I grow a lot of flowers. Chrysanthemums, marigolds, petunias, false Heather, African daisy, zinnias, etc.

I was able to keep some sort of flower alive for 2 years in the same teacup it came in with just water. Half the time, I totally forgot about it too. And yet it flowered all through both years, even in winter???
It finally died because ants got in my room and killed it. But it sure was a trooper.
-- Upon googling, it looks like it was a pink periwinkle. Apparently, it's hardy enough to keep flowering until it gets really cold and it's actually more of a problem if you water it too much. So apparently my absent-minded neglect was a good thing? xD

What do you think about different shades of red like pink or maroon? They are completely fine. But bright reds and pinks make me want to go berserk. I like dark reds and soft pinks though.

I have a green thumb. I've helped my mom grow loads of plants in the vegetable garden over the years No space for a garden now though, living in an apartment. I only have a modest herb planter on the patio: tri-color sage, sweet basil, English thyme, and mint. I got chive seeds from Aldi, but those never sprouted. In the past, we've grown various peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, bush beans, french green beans, cucumbers, pomegranates, loquats, and various herbs like oregano and lavender. My mom wants to do fruit trees and olives this fall in her garden.

I love plants, but I am horrid at keeping certain succulents alive. I've grown tomatoes, strawberries, cacti, several herbs (mint, thyme, & parsley), and some succulents. I really want to grow more succulents though considering one died not long ago. I had some in my cart at IKEA and then forgot them at the store 🙃 I definitely want to do flowers if I have the space at some point and more succulents. I have the space for the succulents.

I hope you feel better, smallfly. As for the question, I'd say history. I didn't think I hated it per say, but I thought it would be boring, but I actually enjoyed it a lot.
