What one thing disrupting your reading annoys you the most?

Oh, and my cat deciding she wants to be a bookmark is VERY distracting!

I have the same issue with my cats...they want me to pet them non-stop but I just want to read!!

I have to read without my glasses, and usually read while my husband is watching some crappy man show that I absolutely do not care about. I hate (hate, hate, hate) it when he gets all excited and wants me to look at the TV because to do that I have to put my book down, put on my glasses (hope I don't touch the lens), and look at the thing I did not care enough about to see the first time - then I have to take them back off (again, hope I don't touch the lens) pick my book back up and find my place again. It drives me crazy, but I go along with it cause I love him and I am a saint!

When I realize that I forgot to turn the coffee pot on. After all, a book IS so much better with a cup of coffee.

Either when the telephone rings or the dog needs outside. He always manages to bark at me at the best part of the book.

Pretty much anything! Though luckily the only thing that disturbs me is people talking. I'll just ignore my phone and I think I've gotten so used to dogs barking it doesn't fully disrupt me.

And people actually but their hands over your book when you're reading?! That would drive me crazy! I can't blame you for hating that!

I can deal with people and cell phones and other loud noises, but sometimes when I'm really tired, the words stop making sense and I have to go back a couple of pages and reread everything again. It drives me crazy but I just can't put a book down easily.

When I am reading and someone comes into the room and just starts talking. I would prefer that they take into account that they can see I am reading and ask if they can have a moments. May just be me but I think that is respectful.

mostly not having enough time to read. if i could spend all night reading and then go to work i'd be a happy girl but unfortunately i do need to sleep. i do read during my lunch hours and before i go to sleep and anytime that i can get some quiet at home.

Mainly not a lot disrupts me but one thing that does is when I'm reading and someone clearly sees me reading and they havto talk to me about something irrelevant or they ask me if I'm reading. Most of the time I lisen to music when I reading so I can zone in and relax and they decide to yank my ear buds out.
