Lets see what everyone's pet peeves are who have BP Disorder.
My pet peeves are:
When I am manic and talking my head off to someone, and they don't answer or ignore me, it bugs the **** outta me.
I hate talking on the phone too. When it rings, I usually don't pick up unless it's from someone who I want to talk to.
My biggest pet peeve is the stigma that goes along with BP. I absolutely hate being talked down to because of it.
I have a funny little story. About a year and a half ago I was in the pharmacy and was waiting for my scripts to be ready. I sat on this bench with an old lady. She turned to me and told me and started saying that it was the girls' fault who have sex with boys and get pregnant. She was blaming the girls. She found no fault in the boys.
This pissed me off so I looked her in the eye and told her I had BP Disorder. She said, "Well, I hope you are on medication for it". I told her that at the moment I wasn't because I was waiting for them to be ready. She got this really scared look on her face, turned away and got up. She went into the line of people and just kept giving me this scared look on her face.
I, of course, was on meds. at the time, but because she was an old lady, I knew I would freak her out, and I did. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
What are some of your pet peeves?
