I noticed that I don't like to be contradicted.
There are some things which you encounter and realize straightaway that you don't like. And there are other things which you go through hundreds of times before realizing that you really don't like them. It took me a long time to notice what exactly was annoying me in certain conversations, and it was that everything I said was being contradicted immediately.
Now, with some people if you say something, then they will find something in it that they can agree with, and they'll respond positively. But some people would see that as a dead-end, so instead they look for something they disagree with and will express their different opinion on that point. Sometimes this becomes a habit and every sentence starts with "No". This can be quite amusing when they go on to state exactly the opinion you have just put forward. Mind you, if you point that out to them, they are apt to say "No it wasn't."
