I have heard it said that when something is bothers you about another, it is time to look inwards, because almost always it points to a personal quality you judge yourself for, either because you don't like it in yourself, or because you don't give yourself the freedom to have it.
No, they have a point. It makes for a more difficult overall reading experience. Just because you put up with it doesn't mean everyone else has something wrong with them.
On the other hand, sometimes it really is the other person making things unnecessarily difficult for their own convenience/status/bloody mindedness/ignorance/lack of consideration. Empathy goes both ways.
