Extroverts at their Most Annoying

I found this last year and have just recently rediscovered it. I find it to be quite humourous because it is often so completely accurate! This is from the book "Introvert Power". Some of them are so true, it's really funny.

The Introvert Power "Extroverts at their Most Annoying" Top 10 List:

10. When everything has to be a PARTY!!
9. When E will not accept that you really want to LEAVE the party.
8. When E talks too much, and says too little.
7. When "E The Intruder" enters your space, uninvited, and handles your stuff.
6. When you go out together and E talks to the stranger sitting beside you.
5. When an E you don't know asks, "Are you okay?" just because you're quiet.
4. When E calls to respond to the e-mail you sent because you didn't want to talk.
3. When E brings someone along to your "one on one" -- as a surprise.
2. When E takes cell phone calls during your time alone.
1. When E assumes every silence is an invitation to TALK.
1. When E talks at length without a single pause.
1. When the above behavior requires you to interrupt in order to speak.
1. When you finally get to speak, and your words remind E of something else to share.
1. When E is oblivious to all attempts to end the conversation, including "goodbye" and walking away.
1. When E pressures you to be enthusiastic like them.

I know people who do some of these things! Of course there is no Introvert list, because introverts are perfect.

Now I have to go and be by myself. All of this social interaction has been quite exhausting.
