Oh, yes, I definitely understand and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I'd be happy to. I usually try to check RPN regularly, but I'm awfully busy and Discord is generally more reliable.
I'm approaching five years on this site (can't believe the time has gone by so quickly) and I'm in the same exact boat. I've had two regular, wonderful RP partners, but finding anyone else is daunting. Trying to plot with someone and develop a character gives me a great deal of anxiety because...
Aw, that's rough!!
I was allergic to cats, dogs, and sunscreen growing up. I outgrew the allergies to dogs and sunscreen and forced an immunity to cats, so aside from maybe pollen, nothing really bothers me now.

To be the devil's advocate, the particle physicist vs. janitor example actually pretty closely resembles something that really happened except he was the host for the panel, not a janitor. If we're talking about men over-explaining things to women, there are some pretty funny examples, like this...
I have never been, but my little cousin's school called up her mother to complain that my cousin hadn't worn socks to school that day. Mind you, this isn't a Catholic or other type of private school, there are no uniforms. They just thought it was "inappropriate for the climate."

At school my room is right above a dining hall and I'm often woken at 7-8 AM by the garbage truck. And it's a parking lot too, so sometimes people's car alarms will go off... and off... and off. My windows are also really drafty and right next to my bed, so that's annoying.
