..I think the 'annoying' thing would maybe be just because of his understanding and hearing issues...no matter how nice the person, that would annoy you when you had to constantly repeat yourself and when he asks for someone to do that, he does have a tendency to lean closer, so invading someone's personal space which never feels comfortable..?...

Some good points there Ammi, I hadn't really considered the having to repeat themselves constantly thing annoying the housemates but I can see how it it could be, even if it is nobody's fault really.

I saw a thread somewhere here about Leslie snapping at people keeping him awake but didn't finish reading it. You are probably right that he must have been tetchy and cranky from the lack of sleep anyways.
