Things That Annoy You Every Day (Explained by Science)
Life is pretty much an easygoing, relaxed experience, interrupted by minor annoyances, that show up every 15 to 20 minutes or so.
Here are some scientific reasons why stupid, simple things annoy us so often (from Cracked.com):
Public Cell Phone Conversations -- Because the human brain likes things to be predictable, hearing half a conversation makes the human brain fritz out. It just can't ignore the person yapping on the phone because it can't figure out the full story.
Road Rage -- When driving a car, we humans consider our vehicles a part of our territorial space. So when someone cuts us off, we instinctively react as if someone had run into us on the street and then ignored us completely.
People Acting Like Jerks -- People actually act like jerks and ignore others because of "urban overload." We have to wade through thousands of potential social interactions every day. In order to deal with these, we have to be very selective about what we focus on. This leads us to unconsciously ignore others and live in our own little worlds
