Annoyance

Time for me to complain about one of my pet peeves: Yelling.

It really bugs me. Particularly, it bugs me that it's the chosen form of communication for both my father and brother. Further, it bugs me that the rest of my family - all of them - believes that the best form of communication in the house is yelling. Now, I'm the kind of person who prefers some good old fashioned face-to-face communication (though eye contact still bugs me), so I find it rude when they yell at me from the bottom of the stairs. I find it incredibly rude when they get mad at me for not hearing them yell at from the bottom of the stairs because I've had to turn my music up way loud to keep from hearing them yell at each other when they're in the same room!

Maybe they are all deaf?

I'm pretty sure they can hear better than I can at the moment.

Yeah, my BF and I ... when we first started dating we promised eachother no yelling. We've both had enough of it in our lives.

It's not angry yelling, it's just irrational loudness.

Flat-out refusal to respond when I'm being called by my brothers from downstairs has broken them of it, more or less.

They now call my cellphone: thank god for family plans with free mobile to mobile?
