  • The loud rumbling of vehicles (typically trucks and larger), the loud booming of a car blasting their music, and power tools like hacks-all, band saws, table saws…

    I get irrationally frightened, like I can only shrink down and cover until it’s over.

    But for irrationally irritated? Other’s sadness and frustration. I dont know what’s wrong, and I cant fix it. Cat screaming uncontrollably, people “in a mood”, crying children that won’t stop.

    I then get frustrated. “Why won’t you eat?” “MEOW!!!”



  • I just wish I would stop thinking of ways I could hurt myself. It really sucks.

    I just look at something, and I immediately think kf thr worst case scenario…

    I’d hide behind cars as I walked down a sidewalk so that the other cars couldn’t hurt me.

    Holding a tool would instantly make one of the worst ways to get hurt by it flash into my head. (Hack saw for trimming dead tree branches == instant gouging of hand)

    And being unable to save people or animals i care about.

    I’m a huge scaredy cat, apparently… always knowing what will go wrong with something before it happens.
















  • Usually only happened when a French person copied and pasted their text directly from a Word document… dang weird spaces and accented characters… drove my boss mad when I told him it was because it French, and not a glitch.

    Still had to work around it… text counters in textboxes had to account for accented characters, which took two bytes instead of one.

    “I only have 2000 letters!” … 2000 including 200 accent characters made it 2200 characters, not 2000.
