Name something you do that unintentionally annoys people

Burping, farting, hiccuping, spitting, hocking up snot.

My principal thinks I speak too loudly and keeps on telling me to tone my voice down... turns out, i speak that way [and i have told her this plenty of times] because of the speech therapy i had to have late in life. upon getting a large needle biopsy on my thyroid way back around the turn of the century/millennium, the asshole missed and bounced the needle on a vocal cord thus killing it. for about 6 months i was essentially mute. so to combat this i was sent to a voice and speech therapist whose main goal was to teach me how to breathe when i speak. through the diaphragm and to 'get under' my words with my diaphragm.

and this, that i no longer have to do, i must admit, but do it because i am now trained to do it, pisses my principal off. ps there are other people at my school decibles louder than me and she loves their asses.

when i am not teaching i have a tendency to be overly concerned when i see a child or toddler not being attended to. or see a child behaving dangerously. i don't say anything because i have been there done that and it doesn't go over well but i do pay attention just in case i need to be a witness [yeah, i know, i take my job as a mandated reporter too seriously]. if only parents would give a shit and be a fucking parent i wouldn't have to care so much.

when i feel my safety in jeopardy i tend to 'overreact' or react in a way as though i feel it was personal. i know it wasn't personal but if i am going down a flight of stairs i now have to go down a little slower than usual due to myotonic dystrophy [which makes muscles and tendons tense up in sudden situations] and of someone pushes me i get so scared. before the myotonic dystrophy came to light i was not like this at all. in fact i demonstrated the rock wall climbing apparatus at my middle school to parents. i can't even dream of doing that now. the muscles in my legs no longer allow me to stretch them that far.

I talk too much and ask too many questions.

It's impossible to please everyone all of the time.

Please yourself as long as it harms no one else !

does his voice sound 'powerful'? if it does then he might be using his diaphragm.

i mentioned this before, i often am told i speak too loudly but i actually don't, i had to be basically trained how to speak again by a voice specialist and she taught me to use my diaphragm like a singer. you use less energy and put less strain on your vocal cords. once you are trained in this it is hard NOT TO USE IT.

here is a good example of how to tell what a person's normal speaking voice is supposed to sound like.

just watch any INDIANA JONES movie that has INDY teaching or sitting at a posh dinner table. that is his normal speaking voice, although it is interesting that he does not use his 'teacher voice' when teaching -- oh, that's right... he's a handsome dude whose female students are hanging on every word! anywhoo... when he is in INDY mode... notice how his voice changes... he sounds more gruff, more forceful. he is using his diaphragm.

His voice really isn't powerful,i think he just likes being loud or it could possibly be because he is going deaf and can't hear himself anymore.I definitely think it could be his hearing,he keeps his tv so loud that i can hear it at the other end of the house with doors closed.Either way he is a pain in the ass sometimes. 

Smack my food loudly when eating at home. I do housework, a little at a time, when I have company. My "eating out at nice restaurants" etiquette is not up to snuff.

Fuck 'em.
