Respect of space and time.

I'm sure some will say this is petty but sometimes the little things are the things that make lasting impressions.

It's a little thing but it annoys the living bat-snot out of me.

Why is it that members of a household can be minding their own business all morning and afternoon. Reading a magazine, doing a crossword, a puzzle or some other such activity. They are there content and occupied. Then the moment you go into the kitchen to get something to eat they suddenly have to jump up and be involved in the kitchen at that very same time. They come in causing you to have to compete to finish what you are trying to do. Whether you are in the middle of making your meal or trying to eat it, they suddenly have to pick that very time to mill about, clean, do dishes, etc. They had all the time before but they have to pick the time you come out to do something for yourself.

It would be one thing if it was an occasional coincidence, but when it is every freaking time then they have to be doing it for no other reason than to grate at your nerves. I will never understand what possesses a person to take pleasure in intentionally and proactively attempting to create displeasure for another person. There is nothing tangible or of substance to be achieved from it. It can only accomplish satisfying someone's sick personal pleasure of annoying someone. There is something to be said for living in solitude and the peace that comes from such a life.

Grrrrr!
