Things people do that bother me.

1.  When people yell across a house, campus, etc. at me to get my attention.  I don't care if you have to get pants on, or walk all the way across the campus.   If you want to talk to me, come downstairs/text me/anything but yell.  Yelling stresses me out, no matter the type.  So just don't.

2.  When people hit me in their excitement.  I don't care how hyper you are or how urgent it is that I must know this right just now.  Repeatedly hitting my on the arm/shoulder/leg while you're talking is really really REALLY annoying.  Don't.  Be as excited as you want.  Just don't hit me.

3.  When people purposefully take my chair/seat/spot/etc just to teach me to "get over it".  I don't go rearrange your sock drawer or break all your crayons and tell you to "get over it" or whatever your own personal weird habit is.  Don't break my brain by taking my seat.  I have to have structure and schedules to remain sane.

4.  On that same note...if you have an appointment with me/date/whatever, don't call me 5 minutes before and tell me you're going to be an hour late.  Chances are I have already made plans that take the whole day's time and when you change your plans, you've just ruined all of mine.  Schedules.  Let me keep them.  Also, how hard is it to be on time for something?  Yeeesh.

5.  When people tell me to "be somewhere or else" or "do this or else."  Threatening me or ordering me around?  Fastest way to get me to do the exact opposite of what it is you want me to do.

Things people do that make me happy.

1.  When someone unexpectedly drops by just to say hi and doesn't get mad when I say "five minutes, let me finish this heroic."

2.  Planning lunch dates with friends.

3.  When someone who's having a hard day, or their whole life is in shambles, yet they still manage to smile, find the positive, and be genuinely happy.

4.  When a small child is being obnoxious and instead of shouting or scolding, someone takes the time to sit down and play with the child.  All they wanted was some attention and they have just received positive attention in the form of love.

5.  When people do something for others "just because" instead of expecting payment or praise.
