I think that “botheration” is a word that Chuck Berry invented for his song Too Much Monkey Business. He also created “motorvating” for Maybelline.

Should I be bothered that I'm usually amused that the thought may once have bothered me? :)

Totally understanding, totally bothering. Partially understanding, patially bothering. Not understanding, not bothering.

I’m assuming this post was provoked by a particular situation in which you had a thought that you believed should have bothered you, but it didn’t … and therefore it bothered you.

Perhaps you have had a recent adjustment in certain personal values which meant that traditionally you would have been bothered by a certain thought, but now no longer – and perhaps this change in values or temporary environmental shift influencing values has come about without your conscience knowledge.

For example you may have previously suffered from OCD, and now due to certain situations you no longer care about anything and are bothered when the impulse to do everything twice is no longer present.

Perhaps it stems from sensory overload – you used to get fired up everytime you saw a Fortune 500 non-compliant site, but now you’ve seen so many it no longer bothers you … and it bothers you it no longer bothers you.

Something like that? :-)
