Eric Rittmeyer is a former U.S. Marine and an expert in the fields of mental toughness and emotional intelligence (EQ). He is also the author of the book

“These are things we all find to be EXTREMELY annoying, but what about the more ‘subtle’ things YOU may be doing that could be equally as annoying to others?” Eric said. “Even the most polite people in the world have bad habits. You may be annoying other people without even knowing it!!”

3. Don’t leave people “unopened”
4. Stop being late
5. Stop begging for attention
