__**THE SCIENCE OF WHAT BUGS US**__ __**WIKISPACES BY: ALEX RASEKHI**__

This book is an informal book on what makes us tick. All the little things that gets on our nerves. But it also explains why things such as someone talking on the phone when you are trying to have a conversation with someone else can annoy you. It explains that the things that we cant stop annoy us. The things that are out of our control are irritating.

This book taught me a lot about psychology and more than just what annoys us. It also goes into different theories about different things such as color. For instance, How do you know my red and your red? this is a difficult concept to explain however I found a video.

Ever get annoyed when your internet is slow? Or when your computer freezes up? that is because you really cannot do much about it. There is no "boost" for it, its as simple as waiting. As humans we are a controlling race and spoiled at that. We are used to getting what we want when we want it. But as soon as something doesn't meet the standard we have set, you lose all patience and become irritated with it all.
