Noise. I prefer to sit in quiet when I’m on the computer and playing a
game or surfing tumblr or what not. I’ll watch TV sometimes, but then it’s
usually 95% tv and I can’t really do anything else. I don’t even generally
listen to music except in the car. Then I sing along, badly. When I’m on
the phone with a customer I hate when they have loud noise on in the
background that makes it hard to hear or understand them.
When I’m doing homework or trying to drown out hubby watching TV I’ll put
on headphones and listen to ambient sometimes or something without words.
I also have a problem with being told what to do, but that’s more of a
tone of voice issue. Maybe that’s why I like communicating via computer.
Also, at work, especially, people who don’t listen and treat me like I’m
stupid. Or this conversation: “I can’t login” “Have you tried the default?” “No, I know my password.” “Is it working?” “No.” “Okay then, can you please try the default?” You wouldn’t argue with your doctor, can you please not argue with your tech support?
