Am I alone in being irritated by having someone read something to me?
I’m not sure what it is exactly but I think a lot of it is out-loud reading is just so much slower than my own reading-to-myself speed. The feeling is similar to, but not exactly the same as, when watching a not-computer-literate person using a computer or watching other people play a video game.

You’re not alone. I know people who’ve tried this technique, and preferred to read things by themselves instead.
For those who don’t mind, and want to have a social reading habit, this can be a potentially useful format.
