Two things that bother me about mormon culture:

(Now this is Mormon culture, not the doctrines of the church people.)

Now I'm sure there are more than two things. We all have annoying habits, but these are two I was reminded of today.

1. Every speaker in Sacrament Meeting feels they need to share some funny story about how they have been trying to avoid the bishopric for the past three years and they finally got caught. Or how they looked at the caller ID and they saw the Bishop's last name and they had an internal battle about whether or not they should answer it. Or even a story about how they said something blasphemous in their last talk and they thought the word had gotten around and they would be set for life, but apparently Bishop didn't get the message so they have to speak again. It's annoying. So you hate speaking, but you do it anyway because you're a good member. Great. Now get on with your talk.

2. In lessons or talks it's important to stay within your assigned time limit. I agree with that. What annoys me is when the speaker or teacher says things like: "I only have five minutes and there is so much to cover and I want to cover it all, but I have to cut things out." or "Oh we're almost out of time. I have like five quotes I want to get to, but I think I'll have to cut some of them. They were so good too." These are conversations to have in your head with yourself, and you cut the lesson/talk down as you speak. Saying these things eats up even more time. Instead of saying that and cutting three quotes, why not get on with the lesson and only cut two. Just saying.
