Ack! You're right. Take it down a few decibels, Parsons!
Also, and admittedly this is a peculiar question given who we're talking about, but when did he become so blatantly dictatorial? Between the shouting and the kiboshing my hackles got a workout.
Again, it's the total lack of subtlety. I prefer it when Sheldon worms his way into a conversation with an off the wall aside, and the others have to start shifting gears to get into his headspace. Wow, that's really specific. But something like this...
Sheldon: You know, this situation with Koothrapali brings to mind a story from my childhood.
Howard: Oh goody, more tales from the panhandle.
Sheldon: That’s Northwest Texas, I’m from East Texas, the Gulf region, home to many Vietnamese shrimpers.
Leonard: Do the shrimpers feature in your story?
Sheldon: (pause) No.
OH PLEASE...
