What is your most annoying habit?
Most annoying to other people, or individualistically annoying? Recently, I finished reading (Re)Born in the USA: An Englishman’s Love Letter to His Chosen Home (by Roger Bennett). I’d heard good things about the book—granted, mostly from people on Roger’s Men In Blazers podcast and TV show. I believe it was author John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) who said he was moved from laughter to tears within mere seconds while reading the introduction. He wasn’t the only one. And that’s a difficult task to pull off. After reading that intro, I was expecting a riveting experience through to the end. The last couple pages, in fact, were also good. But it was the fodder in the middle that ultimately left me disappointed. Here lies the personal habit that most annoys me. If I’m told a piece of media is spectacular, the bar is set so high in my mind that I inevitably feel underwhelmed at its conclusion. Set a low anchor by telling me it’s just so-so, and there’s a good chance I’ll love it. Being perpetually contrarian to expectations is a habit that not only annoys me, but others as well.
