Right. One of the most conflicting aspects of owning a friendly cat, is when it gets in your lap, snuggles, right when you need to do something. And all you can think is "FUCK". Screw Catholics and Jews, you upset a content cat in your lap, you have committed a crime against humanity, and they always give you that annoyed mother guilt trip when you disturb their content.

Some of mine are:
1. The (sometimes) caustic, eye watering aroma of food with a high amount of chili peppers, being cooked.
2. Two annoying cats, with way too many toes on their feet, generally being annoying.
3. Frequent, loud, late 20th century and contemporary avant-garde classical music, prog rock or intense jazz fusion, coming from the high end audios system in my sound room. If I ever want people to leave, I just start playing Gyorgy Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna", Alban Berg's "Violin concerto", Joan Tower's "Concerto for orchestra", or some other similarly "thorny" sounding classical piece. 
4. Having your unsupported assertions challenged.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Nothing... nothing...irritates me more than unannounced visitors. I think I have control issues, lol.
What to expect coming into this house?
1. Wine.
2. Cartoons. No matter what time of day or tonight. It’s always cartoons.
3. A candle burning some kind of bakery scent, because my husband loves the food ones.
4. Screaming, objects being thrown past your head, the same five nursery rhymes playing on an endless loop from fifteen individual toys.
5. Coffee brewing.
6. Lots and lots of wine.

Wait, so what you are telling me is you like wine? Not sure if you were making that clear in this post.

My post might have been a bit misleading. I do also like beer. 😉

Staying off my god damn lawn or the hose. Your choice.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

*shrug* I just find it incredibly rude. If someone wants to hang out with me, or go out and do something with me, that's totally fine. We can make plans. But, my alone time is precious to me, and I don't tolerate unplanned, unannounced incursions into it.
I agree. No one, or at least practically no one, still thinks it is okay to cold-call someone without texting first. This is so much worse than that.

If I had to dodge random projectiles and listen to screaming and the same five nursery rhymes all day, my wine consumption would be substantially more that it currently is.

I'd strongly consider renewing my old tequila habit.
