Any and all archetypes that are loud, bossy, or nosy.

I hate excessive noise. Always have. When my kid sister was maybe two years old she spent about eighteen months crying every moment of every day. She would only eat cheese at the time, which blocked up her intestines, gave her constant pain, and made crapping an hours-long ordeal of tears and screaming. Short version, I nearly killed her. I seriously thought about it. I wish I was kidding. I really do imagine killing people who won't stop cutting into my every thought with their incessant noise. Sometimes the fantasies get really elaborate. I'm told this can be a sign of mental instability or psychosis. This hasn't gone away as I've gotten older: Later I had similar thoughts about the young couple living below me. They were less a couple and more a pair of permanently angry nineteen-year old alcoholic fuckwits who, in addition to causing myriad other problems, scheduled shouting matches from 2am to 4am daily, and I do mean daily. Sleep, what's that? Anyway, loud = no.

I respond to bossiness/bullying by digging in my heels. It's a kind of perverse insistence that this asshole cannot be allowed to have what he wants, simply because he is being an asshole about it. It could be the easiest thing in the world to accommodate him and it won't happen. It could even be the voice of reason. Some loudmouth ex-Marine-turned-gym-teacher type barks at me to lose weight? I know I need to, but I'm going to eat a huge bowl of ice cream that night, in front of him if possible, the only reason being fuck that guy.

And nosy? Don't even get me started. I am a solitary, introverted, private person, and I like it that way. I have a simple, cordial dislike for most of the things others like. Pro sports, pop culture, parroting whatever our favorite political pundit said yesterday, I find most of that to be tedious and insipid. Interacting with others is a chore for an introvert, not because 'people suck' (though some of y'all definitely do), but because introverts don't gain energy from socializing, like extroverts do. Introverts expend energy to socialize. Talking and hanging out is what gets most people through the day. For me, it's like doing the dishes: a mildly unpleasant obligation I can meet but, all things considered, would rather I didn't have. Besides, I'm simply not that interesting. Anyone nosing in on me clearly has less of a life than I do.

Tsundere. If someone secretly likes me but acts like a total asshole to cover it, then that person is, in fact, an asshole.

Having finished watching True Detective the other day, I can't imagine living with someone like Cohle would be pleasant. But goddamn is he cool.

That is a sign of an intense appreciation of personal peace. I too imagine setting fire to my neighbours house or fucking with the nice lovely car they get for free cos the quiet 2 year old has Downes Syndrome, while the normal 6 year old is a screeching brat like every other shitface who comes out that stupid bitchs vagina. I'm serious, 5 kids outta there and they all act like goddamn brats, even the eldest one....who thinks its okay to bring her CONSTANTLY....BARKING....PAIN IN MY GORGEOUS ASS DOG who pisses off OTHER dogs to the degree I saw one go out of its way to go over and piss on the cage it was in......I hate loud people, I enjoy silence, I try to be sociable, I always use headphones..... why isn't a rule that if you wanna live in society, you can't be unreasonably unsociable? You have such shit taste in music and you play it so loud you shout to each other OVER the music....why is it illegal to have you killed, it'd be such a sweet release for so many of the people around you.

I'd hate living with tragic jerk characters- what TV Tropes calls the 'Jerkass Woobie'. I've encountered a couple of them in real life and they drive me up the wall. Dickheads that are rude, petulant, dismissive or insulting, but you can't call them out on it because their mother died in an explosion at the orphanage factory and their dad beats them and spends all the family support money on booze while he and his sister with no legs work double shifts at the sulphur mines to pay the rent.

Exaggerated obviously, but put simply, I wouldn't want to live with a jerk who constantly had the moral high ground, and doubtless he wouldn't like to live with me either. I don't care that your life is a tragedy, my life is a tragedy just putting up with your attitude, mate.

Well, the yandere. I'm going to go out on a limb here
I feel the need to axe you: did you do that on purpose? If not, I'll cut you some slack.

...That was a joke...I think. I'll...show myself out.

OT: Well, I'd hate to live with a Misanthrope Supreme or any evil archetype. The misanthrope would just piss me off, and he/she wouldn't like me anyway because I'm human. And the evil archetypes probably explain themselves. Ah, and the yandere, also for obvious reasons.

And I can totally see why someone wouldn't want to live with a Ms. Fanservice. What a pain it'd be to have such a distracting housemate.
That, and having a roommate who insists on wearing a bikini as casual wear makes social interactions awkward.If you don't get it, just consider where the conversation inevitably shifts to. Yes, I know I'm living with a well endowed woman who covers up about as well as superheroines nowadays. No, we haven't done anything. PLEASE STOP BRINGING IT UP!

One of my favorite comics applies here! (Poémon can be an archetype, right? Sure)

That bubbly-always-happy-and-smiling kind of person, sometimes borderline oblivious. They're just irritating as fuck.

As a glasses-wearer I have to say, I need to do that pretty damn often. Of course, I don't do it in the most dramatic way possible.

I would not want to live with a yandere... especially if they had some type of crush on me...

Extremes of most personalities tend to be a pain and a lot of character archetypes are extreme about something.

I don't know quite what it's called but the hyperactive, bubbly, stupidly nice, girly girl with the high pitched pitch voice. Tends to bounce up and down and clap her hands when excited.

If someone's a brooding jerk I can ignore them or tell them to fuck themselves but if they hyperactive and loud not so much. Especially if they are a genuinely nice person just irritating because then I'll be constantly feeling like a jerk. I try not to be a buzz kill when people are cheering and overly enthusiastic for something but it really irritates me.

A Christlike archetype. Definitely a cool person and all but dieing just makes such a mess of the room. Then they come back but it's already been a few days so I had already cleaned up the mess and just ugh.

Captcha is trying to get me to smoke vapour. I say no!
