Is it normal that these four things annoy me so much?
When somebody says "He/she is black" and someone else goes "That's racist". It's an observation, not racism.
When you're instant messaging (or texting) with someone and you say something like "okay" or "alright" and they reply "ya". Then they get upset if you don't reply. What the hell am I supposed to say back to "ya"?
When you mishear what somebody said and you tell them "Oh, at first I thought you said..." and then they say "nope, I said...". Obviously if I'm saying I thought you said something at first, I realize what you actually said.

Is it normal that these are the four things that bug me in life?
