For some reason it really annoys me when people remind me that I've got to be ready for somewhere/something. For example, if I'm in bed or just watching TV and someone comes in and says: "Don't you need to hurry up? Your bus is coming in 15 minutes." I know they're just trying to be helpful but it really digs at me that they presume I've completely forgotten something I do every day or was told about the day before. I'm not an idiot; if I said I'll be there at the time I will be but not on your schedule. I know how long it takes me to do things.

As I said, I just remember they're trying to help and usually just respond with a simple 'Yes, I know.' But if it's morning then sometimes I'll get cranky and then feel bad about it.
