Any other Aries folk get irritated when someone tries to tell you what to do?

I think I'll receive a resounding "YES"! However, I'm curious to what extent for each of you personally. Recently, I had a Scorpio friend who kept texting me when I didn't feel like responding. I wasn't feeling well; had a migraine. So I'm not going to look at a bright screen and read five texts sent within ten minutes of each other when I feel that way.
Anyway, that day I had a walk through for a new place I'm renting a room from, which I informed them of. Apparently my lack of response to their texts made them think I was going to miss that walk through. As if it were any of their business to that degree and to the point where they could say something about it. We're not close like that yet, and it really irked me. After four texts where they tried to get my attention, they said "Don't forget your walkthrough!!"
I know, it most likely wasn't that seriously intended. However, they've been all over me since we became friendly. And adding this just bothered me.
As an Aries woman, I've always been just fine with taking care of my own stuff in my own life, and although I'm open to suggestions, don't tell me not to forget things as if I'm incapable of handling my business. Especially if you don't even know me like that; when it comes to my life and livelihood, back off. I've been handling it since day one; I've never had a man, not even my dad (he was absent in my life a lot) attempt to direct me. And I'm not about to start!
Any of you ever get upset in a similar situation?

Yes.

I generally don't mind if it's needed in the situation or it's obvious they're just trying to help. But if we're talking state the obvious shit, they can go fuck themselves.

My Scorp friend was a total control freak. There were times he'd talk down to me and I about threw something at him because it was ridiculous. The last straw was when he was acting like I couldn't find my way to a venue because we weren't going together for once. He was trying to spell out directions, dictate what time I needed to leave, etc. I'm like wtf ever. I've been to this venue before, I don't need my hand held, fucking chill. What made it even worse is he lied about the arrival time to ensure I wouldn't be late and I ended up being there WAY TOO EARLY. I'm already one to be semi early as it is.

Needless to say, I've backed off a lot on that friendship. Ain't nobody got time for control freak shit like that.

Your situation sounds similar- Scorps are fucking sociopaths in the control freak department, I swear.

My Aries friend hates being told what to do but will remind me 5 times a day that were hsving dinner tonight.

I can't stand it.
However I am forgetful and will ask friends to remind me of something important, especially if I haven't seen them just before. One reminder, a day or 2 before is enough not 5 or 6 times that will piss me off.

I have a Scorpio friend who can be very full on at times too, but she understands that I need my space and respects that.

This Scorpio barely knew me and was a stage-five clinger; my livelihood is none of his business. He clearly just wanted to exert some control.
If anyone is incapable of discerning priorities when it's a necessity, it's a Libra sun. You sit there for hours on end, unable to grow a pair and make substantial moves; wishy-washy as FUCK -- one of the signs at the top of my list that I'd never waste a moment of my time trusting or listening to. Case in point, sweetie. Bye. Take your butthurt elsewhere. Blocked lol

It depends on what it is and how they ask me. If its reasonable, then why not?

There's circumstances that are certainly within reason, from people I respect and am close to. And then there's someone who doesn't know me from Adam, crossing boundaries before gaining an awareness of his audience. I would never tell someone to do anything if they were a new acquaintance, unless I was asked.

Yes.
(Leo 3rd decan..which is Leo-Aries o.O ) Meh..

I remember my current Aries best friend wouldn't reply to me even if I sent one text. I'd never double text because I hate double texters. it did hurt my feelings though. it was when we first reconnected since high school. we met at a party and totally reconnected and meshed really well, and I was excited she was in my life again. if I'd ask her or text her about something and she's ignore me it just felt like maybe she didn't want to be my friend (I'm sensitive to a fault sometimes). then she'd text me maybe a couple days later, not responding to my text, but expecting me to respond to her question or whatever it was she was saying/proposing. if I wouldn't respond, she'd be up in arms, angry, snapping on me.

now the cards are very turned. I'm the one who doesn't reply, mainly because I've been in a very rough patch of my life. a lot of my values were on the podium for questioning and I've had to make some very difficult and life-altering decisions. however she does not respect this and will pop off on me calling me a bitch if I don't respond, and she will become radical and say "if you don't want to be my friend anymore just tell me. go hang out with your new friends." she doesn't really take my POV into consideration.

my point is I guess it depends on the person. that Scorpio imo sounds very irritating, and I hate when people do that to me. he sounds very much like a stage five clinger. don't let people like that go on without confronting them. I've had to confront my Aries friend too, and we're back to normal now. for the most part. I'm still slightly offended but I love her to death.

As an Aries female, I have to say that I am irritated if anyone "tells" me what to do. Wise friends know they can "ask" or "suggest" and many tines I will agree with them and do what they want. I recently had a dance practice partner (who wanted to be more) try to tell me to be somewhere earlier than I said I could be there without any justification. I told him I would be there at the original time I had told him, then after meeting him and taking the class, I told him how offended I was that he would tell me what to do and that if he ever did it again I would just not show up. He called me two days later to say he was getting back together with his ex-girlfriend. PPffft! Fine with me.

Wow, this is why Libra and Aries clash! All of that over a few innocent texts! Wow!

Wow! I am an independent recruiter who places RN's in health care agencies, I will look out for these Aries women who can't take orders or follow directions! I have zero tolerance for back talk, attitude, anger outbursts, or any other childish response to authority. Wow thanks for the warning!
