People coughing, sneezing or yawning really loudly! I know it's something in the most part people can control, but it irks me sooo much!

That moment when you settle into your best reading spot with a warm blanket and the perfect amount of light. You curl up and take a sip of Sleepytime tea and sigh with happiness. You look over to your side table to dive into the words of one of your favourite authors and then you realize..... You left your book in the kitchen when you were making your tea. :doh:

I feel annoyed when the door bell rings while I am engrossed in a book. It also happens when it's getting late and I need to rest but don't wish to leave the book.

This is why I like reading at home. I don't have to worry about someone bothering me when I'm reading at home. When I'm at home, all I have to deal with is my hubby and the dog. They usually don't bother me when I'm trying to read.

Any kind of noise disturbs me while I'm reading, even music. I prefer to read in a absolutely quiet place, like a library.

A long phone call that won't end can be so distracting and frustrating

I tend to get really annoyed when someone calls me just as I get to the good part of whatever I'm reading. I don't like to stop in the middle of a chapter or a sentence, so it grinds my gears whenever that happens. It feels like waking up in the middle of a good dream and I don't really like it.

I'm 16 years old and yes! I do have siblings.
Unfortunately, they both are 6 years old. That makes is hard for me to concentrate while I'm reading at home. I, unlike many others, have to share my room with them all the time. They don't care about me trying to have good time reading! The only thing they care about is watching TV and getting me upset it seems.
So my problematic siblings would be that thing that annoys me the most.

I hate when people go out of their way just to interrupt me because they find it funny- this has been happening A LOT lately.

Ah jeez where to start with this one.

If I had to pick one it would have to be noise, noise of a vast and wide variety.
