There was a sister from another hall that I used to see at every single assembly. She acted as if she was slightly mentally challenged, and she latched onto me like I was her long lost best friend. The last straw was when I was pregnant with my third, and she followed me around all day telling everyone - including people from my own hall - that I was pregnant and that I already had 2 boys. She drove me absolutely nuts.
Did you have someone that annoys you at every meeting?

I used to. She is an elderette, who tried to start a "discussion"' in the KH to see if I had a problem with her. I said, with a smile, "How could I"? She was worried she had offended me in some way because I was cool with her. I informed her that I don't believe in being stumbled or offended - those are choices people make and I don't choose to live my life that way. She had been hounding me for months. Once I said what I had to say, she left me alone. Many sisters have issues with her. It's almost comical.

It's bad enough to sit through close to two hours of Meeting only to get stuck waiting for you husband to get a word in between:
Brother Foghorn and Brother Siren's competition of who can talk the longest without taking a breath use to drive me insane. Did they ever listen to anything each other said or were they each a sound board for each other? As I waited in the car, I dreaded it when my husband said "I have to have a word with Foghorn and Siren", "Honey, will you get a word in because they both are bubbling over now". I watch my husband wait for his chance to talk without success, Foghorn and Siren are turning blue as oxygen deprevation slows their conversation down but still their volume is loud. My husband hand's them each a paper and decide's it's best to call them each by phone because they will never shut their mouths to listen to anyone. These are the two brothers who wave their hands franticly while any little brother or sister is making a comment on the Watchtower. I hated the way their hands spun wildy around like a wind-mill during a hurricane.
Foghorn and Siren are pissed off at the Watchtower Conductor if he does not call them no less than five times. Try getting these two to speak less than thirty seconds, I think the Watchtower Society changed the format of the WT Study because these brothers could speak for five minutes on one breath. Yes, these brothers pissed me off every meeting because they would ask "How are you doing" and start to speak nonstop before I could say "I am fine, how are you?"

As an elder I had this sister who had mental problems. She loved to call me in the middle of the night and tell me how no one loved her in the hall and she was angry about it. It did not matter what you said her mind was made up it was everyone else problem and not hers. She did finally get the help she needed (extended visit at a metal ward). I sure lost alot of sleep over this. I do hope she got what she needed. Totally ADD

The smarmy elder who made sure to shake hands with every female at the meeting. If he couldn't grab someone before the meeting he'd play cat and mouse up and down the aisles until he cornered the resisters.

The older sister that thinks she should have been an opera singer. She stands in the next row back and sings really loud and holds the notes longer than everyone else.

there were plenty of irritating weirdos and downright ignornant types and they were annoying, but easily ignored. its been years now but i do remember the huggers with their "how ARE you" like you are dying of some grave disease when in fact you are perfectly fine. i hate fake hugs. especially if you don't know me from a hole in the ground.

The speakers who always say to keep your comments to 30 seconds or less. But that annoys so much because If I am going to comment, it is not going to be in under 30 seconds. So I just don't comment.
