Self-Absorbed Girls While Reading

I'm currently reading Jane Austen's Emma and I am wondering:

Has anybody else read this book and continually had this one thought in mind? The thought being: "Damn girl, just shut your mouth for one friggin' minute, would you? And while you're at it... Get. Over. Yourself."

It's the third Austen book I have read so far, the other ones being 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice', but never have I found one of the main characters as nerve-racking as Emma. Jeez.

(It's still a very good book, by the way.)
