What is most infuriating thing people do to get attention?

1. My best friend in college was a great dude to hang out with, but he always had to be the center of attention and the subject of compliments - he'd try to edge himself into every conversation whether it was relevant or not. When he ran out of stuff to say, he'd just start singing (he had a decent voice), and people would compliment him on his voice, which would make him happy. Then he'd run out of things to sing and just start making random noises.

2. On facebook... Person 1: <random passive aggressive comment> Person 2: Everything ok? What's wrong? Person 1: Nothing *or* I don't want to talk about it *or* Message me Edit: Well this proved to be quite a popular annoyance. Glad I'm not alone in thinking people who do this should be fucking lynched.

3. People who exaggerate or make up injuries, illnesses, disorders, etc. They fundamentally undermine people who actually have serious issues and if we take it a step further, they're also the main contributors to antibiotic resistance and overmedication. They're also really fucking annoying and I don't understand how anyone could be a person like this.

4. Asking half a question thus leaving you no choice but to ask for further clarification. My manager is the shining example of this. Manager: *without looking up from her laptop* notsoneutral, could you hand me those? Me: ...Those? Manager: *looks up angrily* The scissors!! Me: Of course, of course the scissors, what else could you have meant?!

5. Grief whore. Something bad happens to someone else, so *they* get extravagantly upset to bring the attention back to themselves.

6. This guy I work with. Literally everything about him is annoying and I can't. Just this very moment as I was reading this thread, he walked in the door and was hobbling and kept loudly huffing and gruffing in a pained sort of way. I refuse to acknowledge people like that, so he kept walking. He walked around the office multiple times for no reason, making painful faces and way overprojecting his moans and groans. Finally, someone said, "What's wrong?" And he was like, "Threw out a rib." Then went on a conversation about how it hurts so bad, his chiropractor is closed (go to a f'ing Dr for that?) As soon as he got to tell someone, the moaning and huffing stopped. Then, someone he hadn't had the chance to tell asked him a question from down the hall and instead of answering them from his desk, he started getting up (pretended to struggle) and did the most God awful grunting and acted like he could hardly speak. Meanwhile is talking fine now.

7. Post super-dramatic social media updates that don't go into detail. "I'm so upset and betrayed ... can't believe things ended up like this! Feels like my world is ending." And when someone says, "What happened?" they go, "Message me." WHY.

8. Do an audible sigh or huff in the hopes that someone asks them what's wrong.
