i'd like it if it were the paramour and the *poing* geeking out about some esoteric bit of code
Well, yeah, cases like that are special. I am quite familiar with the warm-fuzzies of successful bonding between people who are special to me.
What I find drives me up the wall is people talking about their own plans with each other, or about other people I don't know, or otherwise some manner of discussion that I couldn't participate in or have thoughts about. Effectively, it feels like them not caring that I am there, not including me in the conversation, and causing me to feel like an impersonal shuttle service rather than someone in the car with people who theoretically want to be there with me.
Given that I dislike driving as a process, that feels extra icksome. If I was in the car by myself, I'd talk to someone on the phone, or I'd holler songs with the CD player. When I have company, I'm not going to do either of these things, so if my passengers are excluding me from conversation, there is quite literally nothing for me to occupy my non-driving circuits with, leading to a certain degree of crankiness on my part. Not to mention, it does not do miracles to my insecurities and buttons collection, which can trigger easily at being ignored and excluded.
