Sleep is part of those annoying things. But the most annoying for me is people's incessant talks.

When you are reading and people ask what you are reading when they can see the cover and the back. Then they ask for every little detail of the book. It's fine if they are genuinely interested in the book, but when it is just small talk it gets annoying.

While reading, people disturb me by having a conversation. It's better for them to wait and let me finish my line or paragraph.

That would be the noses and the late hour. Sometimes it is hard to keep my eyes open, but I want to read more and more.

When people keep interrupting me. If there's a book in my hand, just don't speak with me, I might bite

I can't stand when there is some random background noise. For instance an alarm going off. :!:

If we could add drowsiness to this list, then that's it. I don't like sleeping, especially when I am in the middle of a beautiful book.

The most annoying disrupting thing when I am reading is when someone is talking to me or asking me to do something. I definitely hate it.

When I am in the middle of relaxing and reading, then remember all the chores and other things that have to be done.

When someone (my Mom) tries to send me on an errand because "you aren't doing anything".

Mom, I'm doing the most important thing in the world - reading!

Not that I hate to go on errands. But, the fact that she counts reading as a lazy hobby is what irks me.

Being tired. I literally find myself going over the same line 6 times before I start to admit defeat.
