Flamingduck posted the article first in the TRT, but I thought it deserved more attention.

Despite writing such a fine article, that guy is an ass. He didn't give his friend a chance to explain or even apologise for months, and just because he thought he was dissing his casserole or something.

Maybe, but I'd be pretty pissed at my friend if he used the same tone when I offered him something that took me a lot of time and work to make.
I love the article though. I've noticed quite a few people who really think that they can shut out everything that annoys them. And personally, I donn;t think I'm annoyed enough, because I can still get pretty angry at annoyances, which is something I'm trying to do less of.
Getting excessively angry over just a small thing isn't healthy, and it only hinders you and others around you.

I'm fairly sure that was a joke.
This site had a nice little thing on it, I'm not sure if it's still there...

Not bad, the one's about annoying stangers and texting are rather true.
I think they are spot on with the criticism bit, personally I hate being told what to do by other people, or that what I'm doing isn't good enough, or I'm not doing it the right way.

Yeah, but at least that will make sure you don't do it again. Getting criticized is horribly good for people. Too bad they don't think so.
