Okay, I’m just going to put this out there, i went to an AA meeting yesterday because i felt I really needed to be there. At least 6 people showed up late, they slowly gangster strolled in with their cocky attitudes, their pants lowered past their buttcheeks, and pulled out their chairs making this horrible screeching noise comparable to scratching a blackboard in my opinion. I really want to be there, I showed up early because I want to hear everything, I want to connect with the speaker story and not have some guys a** cheeks in my face as he is walking past me seated. I don’t have a little white paper that needs to be signed, I’m there because I’m taking my sobriety seriously. Honestly, am I making a little thing a big thing, I really want to hear your opinions and what else do you guys find annoying? I’m now looking for a meeting that has carpeted floors and rollers on the chairs, that would fix half the problem, anyway. I’m asking for a friend 
It used to irritate me when people walked late also, same thing. But I learned to ignore other’s behavior in meetings and focus on me and the message. Sitting near the front may help.
I found everything annoying in early sobriety 
try to remain focused on yourself and why you’re there - also pay attention to those positive people who are lit up with sobriety and excited about the future - hang out with them - avoid the negative Nellie’s who blame everything and everyone else and take no accountability
Rafa... I hear you 
%. I've around for the past 35 years that 
still bothers me. I usually share about it in an open meeting. Choose your words carefully, I call it verbal jujitsu, when sharing about it. You have a legitimate concern it's called meeting etiquette.
Last it happened I shared about it I called the dude out on it by saying he has a stain visible.
Why should an AA meeting be any different than a play, concert, pictures with Santa, a dinner??? People arrive late and disturb others all the time for all events. I like the suggestion to sit toward the front or wherever latecomers disturb others the least.
Hilarious
I don’t think so. But it was definitely a funny thing. 
Find annoying? Good question. I annoy myself sometimes. 
Eh, it comes with the territory. I learned along the way that most people I'm annoyed at never think one second about me. So why waste my time being annoyed at petty stuff. But absolutely! Sometimes, it's easier said than done, lol. I think we all have been annoyed at some point. Sounds like you are committed to being present and that's a great thing.
Thank all you who have responded, I feel better that I vented about it, I think that’s all I really needed to do. I figure it best to vent to you guys and gals, then to blow up at a meeting because it happened one too many times. I truly am glad everyone who shows up at a meeting is there trying to get help, I guess some are at different levels of help than others, as long as at the end of the day we all are sober.
