- knocking on the door and entering before any forms of acknowledgement is given – what is the point of knocking then?
- interrupting an ongoing conversation with “what happen?” immediately upon arrival – what happen to the entire “listen before you speak” idea?
- shifting and centering all conversations to self or “I/me”, especially when counselling or consoling a person – how does that help? It does not lessen that person’s pain and now, two people are hurting over separate matters.
- volunteering to help a person, then proceed to ask a third party to do it – why volunteer your help if you can’t do it yourself?
- giving information openly on social media but gets annoyed when people ask you about that information in offline world – why put it online for everyone to know then?
Or maybe these are just some of my pet peeves…
From the Window Seat 
I would counter-say points 3 & 4. A counsellor might self-reveal if the reveal mirrors the person’s problem… done to engender trust, that this person understands the problem. And it’s okay to call on a third party to help, if that third party is better qualified. But on both these points, only then.

True to what you say. To me, usually it is the daily interaction when I encounter such flippancy and frivolity that annoys me though…

Ah, on a daily basis is a different matter.
