Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

[QueenofQueens]

I just needed to carve a little confessional booth...dig a little hole in the ground behind the house...have some little niche where I can put these things. I thought it might benefit others who, like me, live a life rife with tiny torments.


Here's one:

I hate it when the ends of my sleeves get wet when I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt. IT FUCKING DRIVES ME NUTS.
When this horrible thing happens, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and change my shirt. Elsewise, I might spin aimlessly in a circle clawing at the offensively moistened cuffs, as if I'd been doused with flames.

Thanks for letting me share.

:baby:

[Gemme]

I agree. Moistened sleeves irritate me endlessly too.

However, today it was the teeny bits of lint and dust on my dark green work shirt and black pants that got my :goat: and nearly made me fall down as I twisted and turned with my hand held lint roller.

I was not amused.

[Selenay]

I am less obsessively concerned about wet sleeves as I am about wet pant legs.

I have been known to wear bermudas in November rain so I will not have to face them.

[NJFemmie]

Wet sleeves/pant legs definitely drive me crazy.

I have a compulsion to make shiny things shiny. It drives me nuts when they're not... for example - faucets. (But it's not limited to faucets). If it was meant to shine, it NEEDS to shine.

I don't know what I was thinking when we got the LG Shine cellphones.

[NJFemmie]

Speaking of wet pant cuffs - the rain here has reached biblical proportions - so guess who took off her shoes and has her feeties by the space heater at work???

I think I need to invest in a pair of those fisherman boots.

I feel like one of these ----> :duck:

[christie]

My food touching on a plate... drives me nuts. Call us the House of Many Tiny Bowls... so much for Chef Jess' lovely creations... "composed" if you would... nope... not happenin... not on my plate.

[NJFemmie]

My food touching on a plate... drives me nuts. Call us the House of Many Tiny Bowls... so much for Chef Jess' lovely creations... "composed" if you would... nope... not happenin... not on my plate.

I may have an extremely "mild" case of this ... I particularly don't like sauces or gravies touching my other food unless I put it there or mix it myself.

I do have a meat on the bone disorder (with the exception of spare ribs). I cannot eat meat off of a bone (I have to yank, cut or tear it off). Mare is a bone eater, so it works out well in our house. :) For some reason, I can eat the meat off of a spare rib. Go figure.

[TeaPartyTart]

Waiting or making people wait.

For instance, if I'm going through a toll booth, I have my money ready (exact change) so when it's my turn, it's a smooth transaction.

I HATE it when people pull up, dig in their purse or wallet or fish around for money. They know the toll is approaching yet they stop and make the entire line of people wait. The irriation octive increases when it's the "Exact change" lane and there are no attendants.

The same thing when we order delivery food. I get the total and have the money ready by the door when the buzzer rings.

Is it sad that I can feel irritated just typing this? Arghhh

OMG! I hate that too. I suffer MCS (moist cuff syndrome) and it usually strikes when I am in the kitchen or brushing my teeth. Don't even get me started on my ill fitting pants! When it rains and I have MCS and MSS (moist sock syndrome) I may or may not blow dry my arms and legs.

I also get very stressed after meals (usually the ones that include greens of some sort) because in my mind this might be happening. http://picnicb.ciao.com/uk/67028721.jpg

and I run my tongue across my teeth until it is bleeding if there is no mirror around. If I am with someone who revels in my freakishness I may ask...do I have something in my teeth?

Phew! I feel better already.

[Apocalipstic]

I hate moist sock syndrome to the point that unless snow is deep enough to cover my shoes, I will not wear socks.

The sleeve thing has forced me to own lots of 3/4 lenth sleeves.

I can't STAND 3/4 length sleeves. lol ... I'd rather roll up my sleeves and take a chance than wear clothing that looks like it shrunk only in the arms.

[Lynn]

Pantyhose or tights with a sagging crotch are unacceptable. I can't wear them, no matter what.

Wearing wool is very difficult--it itches, feels weird, and just skeeves me out. I might wear cashmere (were I to have any cashmere...), but only with something underneath to buffer me from the itchiness which, apparently, only I experience. I absolutely cannot wear any kind of wool if it gets wet. I have a wool dress coat that I wear with the sleeves rolled up so I can't feel the wool on my wrists. I have to wear gloves, too, so I can't feel the wool on my hands when I touch the coat. I'm getting chills just thinking about it.

I am allergic to wool, makes winter difficult.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I have ocd very badly. I no longer can wear long sleeved shirts because of it. When I was wearing l/s, if I got anything on the cuffs, I would have to roll them up. And if they got wet, it freaked me out. I would change shirts. I could change shirts 2-3 times a day.

If I get anything on my sportshirt or even my undershirt, off it goes. Laundry is done every single day in my house. That is just how bad my ocd is. :woodchop:


Other things I do...

*I count

*I check and recheck doors, stove & oven, coffee maker, car door locks, car windows

*Saying someone's name in a certain order and 3x's...everything is done in 3's

*I very rarely wear socks. Socks are just one more thing to bother me.

[Apocalipstic]

OK back to socks.

Where do they come from...the little mounds of them everywhere? Behind the couch, under the bed, in the bathroom corner, in a cabinet????????????? How do they get there?

Where do they go? I have long suspected a link between missing socks and the Bermuda Triangle, Jimmy Hoffa and the Polar Ice Cap. I wonder if when the ice cap melts, a huge sea of lost socks will emerge.

*hrummph*

I think there is a Sock Monster (much in the same manner of the Tooth Fairy) that lives in my dryer. It gobbles up my socks but doesn't find matching pairs tasty.

I also have three mini sock monsters with a total of twelve legs. They like to grab and run to the backyard, kennel or under the couch with the prize.

I often think that MIA socks are reincarnated in plastic clothes hangers. Seems like the more missing socks, the more hangers we have...

Kinda like "Everytime you hear bells ring, an angel gets its wings"... :dance1:

[Isadora]

Drives me nuts: alot there is NO such word. A lot. A lot. A lot. Now write it five million times on the chalkboard.

Sock: non-consensual foot bondage...hate them. I wear them only when I deem it necessary. "You are cold, put on some damn socks." NO! Drives people crazy, a lot.

I have long suspected mini sock monsters, however I have never actually seen them with a sock. Maybe while I am sleeping?

[Diva]

I, too, have a Sock Monster.

:dog:

Her name is Lucy. I have seen her climb into a sock~wearing visitor's suitcase and run off with one of their socks in seconds. She has it down to a science!

She has a basket of socks, and occasionally, she will bring me one to play tug-of-war with and such fond memories are evoked......"Oh Boo! It's your Unkie Dylan's sock when he came to paint the girl room 2 years ago!"

It's a fun game.

Wait.
What was the subject of this thread again? :writer:

[Apocalipstic]

Blobs of toothpaste in the sink.

Grosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sss

Hair in the drain. Yes I know its mine, but it does not matter.

*shudder*

In a restaurant, finding a hair on my plate.

In a restaurant, take a bite of food, and there's a hair in that bite.

I can't stand toothpaste in the sink. Whether it's mine or not - it's GOT TO GO.

Sock subject - I can't stand to wear socks that are SUPPOSED to fit my shoe size. Guess what? They don't. I end up buying little girl socks for that snug fit. I cannot stand having my foot swim in my socks. It annoys me the beejeezus out of me.

[MsDemeanor]

Wearing wool is very difficult--it itches, feels weird, and just skeeves me out.
Wool is evil.

I'm not terribly fussy, but when I am fussy it's over the top. My biggest fussy is people in my space. Not just the stand to close to me thing, either. I don't want to fucking hear you. I don't want to hear your music, your phone conversation, you're mindless blathering from the next table. Keep you shit quiet and keep your conversations to yourself.

Mister is fussy about clean. I'm a bit of a slob, so my very existence makes him crazy some days.

[NJFemmie]

I itch like mad with wool. Looking at it makes me itch.

[Apocalipstic]

I know this is ultra weird....

But teeth.

Teeth are grossssssssssss

They are everywhere. Pictures of them. In fact, this morning when I went to Farmtown? Huge pictures of rotted teeth at the bottom of the page. Weatherbug? teeth. Gagggggggg.

In school, people would plop their retainers on their lunch trays and I would gag. My sadistic sister found out and would place her retainer on the snooze button of my alarm clock and even called my college roommates to do do it.

I chose my dentist office based on no pictures of teeth.

Gross gross grosssssss.

[NJFemmie]

When I was younger, I used to have problems with long sleeved shirts. I would always roll them up. Now, I can't stand having my sleeves rolled up unless I am washing dishes or something of the like. If I see Mare's shirt sleeve above Her wrist, I'll go so far as to pull it down, lol. (Thankfully, She doesn't mind).

LOL ... I had an ex who felt that way about tongues. If you stuck your tongue out at her, she'd have a bitch fit. I always thought that was such a sucky burden to carry around being a lesbian and all..... *shrug*

[TeaPartyTart]

Ok folks. I was holding back but it's time for me to unleash the what I believe is the nastiest of all things that makes me super insane.

I call it "Piggies in the Window".

It's when you see a car driving by and someone has their nasty ass feet propped up on the dashboard, or actually touching the windshield. I am completely repulsed. Extra gross out points for folks who choose to perch their hoof on rolled down window. Makes me want to drive by and lob it off.

Speaking of feet...

While I love nice feet, gross feet make me go crazy. I can't help but look at everyone's feet in any kind of sandal. I judge-yes JUDGE the alignment of the toes, health of the nail, condition of the nail, etc. I hate chipped polish, cracked heels and dirty feet, in general.

I feel so much better now.

*sigh*

[Novelafemme]

Where to begin :D

Hangers MUST face the same way. If they don't - the world will explode.

After you are done washing ____ in the sink...take a paper towel or a washcloth and wipe out the sink. Water spots make me sad.

If your shoes or pants make a swishy or squeaky sound....you must change them post haste. My ears will explode.

There are more but I shall spare you all :D

[Novelafemme]

Oh, and I have issues with acne, too.

If I see a pimple...I cannot take my eyes off of it. It begins with a glance and then the heat of its stare begins to burn a hole in my brain and I simply must look. If you are someone I know and am close with you, you may find yourself on your back - me straddling your torso and your face in my grip. I apologize in advance.

I remember once (this is super gross so you may or may not choose to turn away NOW) I was shopping at Home Depot and the check out boy had a terrible case of teenager acne. I was enthralled. I couldn't pry my eyes away from this boy's face. My girls were standing there like "uh, mom...the guy needs you to pay...there's a line forming....mom....MOM!!"

I keep waiting for Jess, aka Mr. Fussy Britches, to arrive in this thread to tell you all how Hy has banned me from laundry (apparently I don't fold correctly) and how Hy banned me from gardening/yard work (that one was calculated on my part... poor lil rosemary bush and her homemade Mommy haircut :buzz cut: )

... other things that drive me nutso....

Tucking the flat sheet under the mattress at the foot of the bed. My poor lil feets scream, "RED!!! HARD LIMIT!!!" :redcard:


The "paper trails" my mother in law leaves around the house. Wherever she opens the mail is where she leaves all or part of it. Its something akin to Hansel and Gretel and breadcrumbs...

[Plato]

Not only should hangers be facing the same way, they must NOT be empty.
"Hanger Infractions" have their own place on a lower rack in my closet.
Clothes should also be separated by category, shirts, pants, coats, etc
Then there are sub-categories, collar, no collar, long-short sleeves
Then by colors ..
Sounds very logical to me :huhlaugh:

Ah, I see I have tapped into a rich vein of comradery. I feel strangely comforted. Bless your hearts.

SuperFemme, the running your tongue over your teeth after eating thing? I share your affliction, and let me tell you there are times when it takes every ounce of strength I possess not to bolt out of the restaurant/diner/movie theater/house and to the nearest rest room or other privately ensconced mirror, in order to conduct a thorough dental exam.
Remember, "mental" rhymes with "dental".

[ShyViolet]

The dish sponge. I haaaaate it when the dish sponge is left in the sink. Drives me nuts. Also, the blanket on my bed MUST be positioned the correct way (the tag needs to be at the bottom right corner of the bed) or I cannot sleep.

I hate moist sock syndrome to the point that unless snow is deep enough to cover my shoes, I will not wear socks.

The sleeve thing has forced me to own lots of 3/4 lenth sleeves.

On the other foot, I cannot be without socks.

I have short arms, so the most comfortable (regardless of dry/wet condition) is 3/4 sleeves.

I am allergic to wool, makes winter difficult.

My honey is too, so I either put three pairs of regular socks on or put the wool socks on and a pair over them for him.


I think there is a Sock Monster (much in the same manner of the Tooth Fairy) that lives in my dryer. It gobbles up my socks but doesn't find matching pairs tasty.

I also have three mini sock monsters with a total of twelve legs. They like to grab and run to the backyard, kennel or under the couch with the prize.

We have a mini monster with 4 legs and a big mouth and she not-so-vaguely resembles Molly, our half Lab/Dobie.

On a side :sock: note, and to post in here for Molly, while she does covet socks she HATES feet.....except mine. She likes my feet but never steals my socks. Interesting...

Drives me nuts: alot there is NO such word. A lot. A lot. A lot. Now write it five million times on the chalkboard.

I have always had acne. Subversive little dots, so hopefully, I won't have to worry about you sacking me and attacking my face.

Should that happen, I might have to go ninja on you. :ninja:

I HATE people touching my face and hair. HATE. IT.

Tucking the flat sheet under the mattress at the foot of the bed. My poor lil feets scream, "RED!!! HARD LIMIT!!!" :redcard:


I'll take your tucked sheets. My feet are always cold (poor circulation) so I need the tucked sheets to preserve what little warmth I have.

[SassyLeo]

I absolutely cannot stand it when the sheet rises up from the end of the bed. I will get up in the middle of the night and fix it if this happens.

[violaine]

kitchen sinks with too much of a slope bug me. i think the sound of stainless steel measuring cups or utensils, et c. falling into the center of the stainless steel sink, having a collision as fast as they are placed there is unnerving. :seeingstars:

[Jess]

Hair in the bathroom sink.... Ruffles my lil grey head.... Nuff said.. :twitch:

[Mindy]

Sharp knives in the kitchen sink. Did someone purposely place it there so I could cut my finger off? Come on, it's not hard to place them behind the faucet until dishes are done. The knives here are very SHARP and I don't want to put my fingers in with something that can cut a can in half and still cut my tomatoes paper thin.

People who come into my personal space uninvited. I don't want you there, please leave.

People who wanna get all touchy feel-y on me. Don't put your hands on me unless you have my permission. A hug of greeting when we haven't seen each other in awhile is acceptable.

People who tell their life story to the cashier. Hello? I'm behind you and I'd really like to check out. No one wants to hear it or really cares about it... move on, talk to your friends. If you don't have any... find some in the aisles or something but DON'T hold up the check out line. I'm here because I'm ready to LEAVE not to stand there and listen to you blather about your life. Can you see the cashier's glazed eyes? She's only being polite because she's not allowed to tell you shut up and leave!

[Gemme]

Okay, this gets me :dozey:.

When someone comes into a thread, especially the gamey type threads, and just posts without looking at the rules or anything. I want to play bad teacher and pull out the ruler when that happens.

[QueenofQueens]

I have no tolerance for the cold AT ALL.
Hence, if the temperature falls below say, 60 degrees Fahrenheit, (yes, I'm a lightweight) I have to immediately put a scarf around my neck and wear it AT ALL TIMES. I'm wearing one now as I type this.
I call it my Mackenzie Phillips look. Moreover, I am completely convinced that if I simply wear my scarf AT ALL TIMES I am completely impervious to germs.
Furthermore, if for some untoward reason, my scarf is left behind and the weather is nipply, :anothersnowman: I will stop what I'm doing and go back to wherever it is, no matter WHERE it is and retrieve it.

Scarf:
Fetish object. Talisman. Shield from all evil.

[Jett]

I just needed to carve a little confessional booth...dig a little hole in the ground behind the house...have some little niche where I can put these things. I thought it might benefit others who, like me, live a life rife with tiny torments.


Here's one:

I hate it when the ends of my sleeves get wet when I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt. IT FUCKING DRIVES ME NUTS.
When this horrible thing happens, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and change my shirt. Elsewise, I might spin aimlessly in a circle clawing at the offensively moistened cuffs, as if I'd been doused with flames.

Don't walk up to me and try to have a conversation with me while I am already in the middle of a conversation with a book.

If you approach me while I am reading, or listening to music, or otherwise engrossed in something and I am clearly not receptive (ie: i put the headphones back in my ears after I greet you) I do not want to talk.

If it's not an emergency, it can wait

And your lack of planning is not my emergency.

I have a spin-off to report. I work in tattoo shops where generally speaking, a cacophony of conflicting noises seems to elicit extreme pleasure from most of the failed rock stars that make their living this way. Save the one typing this.
If I hear the sound effects from Grand Theft Auto layered over a death metal band, layered over a moronic discussion about graffiti, sneakers or famous tattoo artists, it is enough to trigger homicidal psychosis. I'm not kidding, the defense department probably utilizes a similar soundscape to create remorseless killing machines. If not, they're remiss.

*sigh*

I'll see your "piggies in the window" and raise you a "yoga toe"*.
Example: I simply cannot exercise in a room after someone has rested their "yoga toe" on every available surface while stretching their ass directly toward my face, no matter where I'm positioned or what direction I'm facing. I feel like I am being oppressed by their healthy lifestyle hegemony. Plus, it makes everything seem like it looks like it must smell.


*yes, I am talking about an actual toe, not anything related to a camel.

[TeaPartyTart]

I think this thread is more therapy for me.

This morning I went out to clean off my car because we live in Chicago and it's -21 windchill and well, it has to be done if you are driving anywhere. I'm very particular about snow and ice removal and feel I need to get all of the snow and ice not only off all the windows, but make sure all of the snow is removed from the car, as well.

What ticks me off is seeing drivers who take less than a 1/2 assed approach at clearing off their car. The ones with the 4x4in space on the driver's side window who feel that will suffice as they navigate the potholed filled city streets. Never mind them still trying to manage their cell phone, coffee and kids in the backseat.

Follow that up with a good 6 inches of stacked snow on their car that will blow into my windshield and I'm ready to call 911 because I'm about to report an assault because I want to beat the shit out of them.

OK- back to work for me.

DON'T mess with my filing system. Okay, so to you, it looks like piles of paper strewn randomly around the floor, but to me, it makes perfect sense and represents order, control, and other things necessary to stop me from losing my mind.

And DON'T, whatever you do, touch my lists, especially my lists of where my lists are. The fact that half the time I can't read my own writing is irrelevant. I wrote the lists, I want the lists, and even if I can't read the lists, you are not, not, NOT, to touch them.

People who are late. Drives me crazy. I have been known to leave without people who don't respect my time, of course unless they call me and say, "I am stuck in the MacArthur Maze." I am almost always on time if not 15 minutes early.

I once charged my Dr. $45.00/hr for 3 hours after I waited for him to get off the golf course (I overheard the nurse talking to him). Let's just say I never waited again and he didn't pay it.

People who honk their car horn a lot for no reason other than they are frustrated. Totally annoying.

People who crack their knuckles. *shiver* Just ew.

"Two seconds"

Two seconds is not a realistic deadline to complete a task. When I ask you how long it will take you to complete something, arrive to a destination, etc., I'm looking for a time that is feasibly accurate. I'm not asking for a coutdown clock but there is a big difference between 2 seconds and 20 minutes.

Living in an apartment has its upside, but doing laundry is clearly not part of that. My fussy ire is provoked beyond control at the sight of someone else's stained underwear et al left far beyond the finishing time -- its crustiness proof of a neglectful slob -- even though the machines' timers clearly indicate when one should return.

I'm not folding your damned laundry, nor do I even remotely wish to touch it to move it out of the way.

Oh, and buy some goddamned new skivvies (or learn to use toilet paper), will you?

Im having a junky day at work.

Mainly because this insane woman keeps calling me complaining about how the person who works the morning half of my job ISNT HERE.

Conversation:

Her: "I want to talk to X about the job cancel"

Me: "X leaves every day at 1pm and I've already handled the cancellation"

Her: "Well, X needs to send out a memo about their work hours"

Me: "I'll let them know. Was there anything else?"

Her: "Because I have been emailing X for 2 hours and he isnt responding."

Me: "Right. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "So you've handled the job? I guess that X will also be leaving at 1pm tomorrow?"

Me: "Yes, it is handled and YES, X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Nobody has ever told me that. Someone needs to communicate with us about the schedules."

Me: "Right. I can send out an email if you like."

Her: "It isnt going to work with him leaving work early every day. He needs to stay longer."

Me: "We can talk about it in our staff meeting if you like, but this is a job share, X works the morning shift, I work the afternoon shift."

Her: "Well, he needs to answer his email"

Me: "He wasnt here to answer them. He left at 1pm. Your email came in at 1:14pm"

Her: "You mean he doesnt stay a few minutes extra in case someone might need to contact him?"

Me: "No. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Well nobody every told me...."

Ok, I went to get my med. at a pharmacy we all know and love. With my ocd, I have a ritual with washing my hands. My hands are raw from constant re-washing them, and then putting on lotion. Well, today I got something on my hands at the pharmacy. I was about to go :bomb::overreaction::overreaction: and that is mildly putting it. So, I go to the bathroom to wash my hands. And some moron comes up to wash his hands behind me like I am going to stop my ritual for him. Oh no. Let's not even go there, buddy. :seesaw:

I don't know if they've changed the rules since I was in school, but both pronounciations are correct.

I just prefer the one without the 't' also.

OMG

There is a woman in my dept who is sweeter than pie, but she drives everyone NUTS!

She ALWAYS forgets to turn down the ringer on her cell phone and so a few times a week, her phone RINGS for like 1-2 minutes straight the most annoying ringtone ever. It is one of the standard Blackberry tones.

And the worst part is that her office is a ways down the hall, which means the ringer is LOUD enough for me to hear like 20 yards away!!!

I'm a planner and I *know* it's just not possible to get everyone to plan ahead. However, I'd like to think that if a retreat is being scheduled for a group of 16 people, more than 12-14 days notice would be nice. Especially when said retreat is being planned during the work week.

C'mon, folks. Not everyone in the group is out of work or able to take vacation between Christmas and New Years!

I mean seriously?

Yes, it's something that must be done to get that delicious food down. However, it's not necessary (ever) to smack ones lips after said bite, or do so with ones mouth open OR for that matter do it so that I have to hear it.

I like quiet.

Eat a chip? Suck on it a little first to squelch the crunch.

Yes, I know that the piece of pie was tasty, but you ate it, enjoyed it and you DON'T have to smack your lips afterwards in appreciation.

I mean what the hell?

My last company was an open concept/loft space with hard wood floors. The place already sounded like a racquet ball court. It didn't help the VP of Sales thoroughly enjoyed his Ohio State Fight Song ring tone. We would yell at him, "Hey Matt, turn off your f*cking phone already" and other niceties.

He thrived on the yelling so finally one day we all decided we would contribute to the ringing. Anytime his phone would ring we would all stop what we were doing stand up and rush to his desk and clap our hands enthusiastically and in rhythm to his ring tone. Go Buckeyes!

He changed his ring to vibrate.

My work here is done.

Carry on.

Where do they come from...the little mounds of them everywhere? Behind the couch, under the bed, in the bathroom corner, in a cabinet????????????? How do they get there?

Where do they go? I have long suspected a link between missing socks and the Bermuda Triangle, Jimmy Hoffa and the Polar Ice Cap. I wonder if when the ice cap melts, a huge sea of lost socks will emerge.

wash dishes in 2 small square tubs in the sink only about 1 or2 inches of HOT water only in each. one for wash one for rinse. Turn on hot water only catch the cold water coming out in a milk jug until it turns hot. Water plants with water in jug.

Don't mess with my hat. It is on my head it is in my space leave it alone, it's mine. It's always there, like a finger or an ear. Leave it on my head.

My glasses. They were made for me and sized to fit me. Please do not pick them up and put them on your BIG HEAD. You'll have them stretched out and then they will be sliding off my face until I can get them adjusted. Ya can't see out of them and you can't tell by putting them on how blind I am, so leave them where you find, please.

Also don't clean them for me, you'll scratch them and I loathe scratches on my glasses.

Blade,

I so get your thread. :goodpost: I wear baseball hats, and if I could only earn a quarter for everytime someone who takes it off my head, or moves it, or does something to it, I find so irratating and rude.

Just because it's Big... has lotsa stalls, and underpaid cleaners.. doesn't mean u can waltz in them, and act like u were raised by a pack of fuckin Baboons, leaving piss on the seat, tampons in plain view, and a rather graphic....and astonishing poop the size of a chrome dildo that leaves me wondering{after gagging} "did their asshole bleed???"...
Half the toilets flush easily, efficiently....
I'm sure your mother taught u how to clean up after using the Can....
Same for mens room...fuck...it's almost like they had a brainfart, and figured the bathroom deserves a new Scent [ and in some cases, i kid u not...disgusting deco]...

I dont have the luxury of holding till I get home....
Thankfully the vast majority of places I been to, I have the option of at least ....cleaning a little the spot i might use before "hovering"......

I get teased about this and friends have waited til I have gone to the restroom and `fingerprinted` my glass all over to drive me crazy so I started to carry a glass from home with me so I could tip my drink into!!! God I sound weird now dont I ??!!!!!!!!!!!

Slamming gets me mad too! How bout when they get the seatbelt caught in the door so it wont shut but they carry on slamming anyway?????!!!!! And you have to walk around the car, whilst listening to the slamming, to calmy say `you got the belt caught in it` ??? Whats that all about??

~~~petal~~~

Someone slamming my car doors gets me going. Things like messing up the window on its tracks (electric or not), or breaking all of the mechanism inside a car door happens that way and a whole lotta rattles get started with this. Not to mention the sound of the slamming! The doors close just fine with a regular swing!

I have to agree with Daywalker about litter, too. Makes me totally crazy. I live near a middle school as well as a community center and there is always litter around.... everywhere but in the can!

Snow is in the forecast. Anywhere from 6 inches to 18 inches. The plastic chairs are out. Ice Melt is ready to be cut open. And the grocery stores...to be avoided today at all costs. The parkinglots are just full, and people act like they have no common sense.:bananasplit:

[Greyson]

People deciding to have a conversation with others while standing in front or in a doorway. People standing at the top or bottom of the escalator in conversation.

I just want to say HELLOOOOOOOOOO. Can you perhaps notice there is an entire world trying to navigate around you?

[Apocalipstic]

Newscasters who do not know basic 3rd grade geography.

When someone thinks 30 minutes is 30% of an hour.

[Venus007]

When men insist on leaving their hats on inside
People who spit in public places, ugh
Loud people, unnecessary shrieking, shouting or banging
People who are rude to service workers

[Martina]

Loud people, unnecessary shrieking, shouting or banging


That IS fussy. *tsking* ;)

[Venus007]

When people say they are doing "good" instead of "well"
(I know soooo petty)

[*Anya*]

People talking in the movies throughout the entire thing-loudly like they are sitting on their own couch;

Crying babies in the movies ( yes I had two, no I did not bring them with me-if I couldn't afford a sitter, I did not go);

Seeing 5-6 year olds in an R-rated movie with their parent ignoring them, where every other word is fuck or there is fucking (I cringe 1,000 deaths)

No, I do not go to movie theaters anymore, those things make me too crazy and last but not least:

Having to stand in a queue anywhere that someone is on their cell phone, loudly talking about all manner of personal things.

[Leigh]

I don't think anyone would wanna get Me started on this, I'd rant and rave for awhile so I'll just read everyone else's response!!!!

[Jess]

When people leave nastiness all over somewhere my hands have to touch...
stove knobs, fridge handles, sink fixtures, etc. squicks me out to no end.

[Martina]

When people say they are doing "good" instead of "well"
(I know soooo petty)

i say this ALL the time. Makes me one of the people. *mutters about snobs*

[Soft*Silver]

sitting at a red light and feeling my car vibrate because someone two cars up has decided I need to hear AND feel their choice of music. What? I dont count in shared space? Are you THAT egocentric to think I enjoy your music? I hang my head out the door and sing with you, but I make up my own words...hope YOU dont mind....

when people pick me up to go somewhere and their car is a litter bag. Seriously dont ask me to sit on a seat that has french fries and face powder all over it. Nor do my feet want to slide amongst your pop cans and Burger King bags...

parents who are oblivious to what their kids are doing. Dont let your kids strip all the leaves off of a branch of tree because you are on the cell phone making your next hook up. Dont let the five year old scratch his ass while he is in line at the Grand Buffet. HEY! Your kid is crying, will you please at least look at him and see how you could comfort him because you are making me really uncomfortable...

lipstick on teeth

bitches who roll their eyes when they think you arent looking

well, any passive aggressive behaviors pretty much declare war with me...

[Rockinonahigh]

Rude kids and out of controle kids that the parrent(useing that word losely) pay no attention to in the store or resturant and definatly at the doctors office,please keep you noisey,snotty,dirty kids away from me...I dont want theire mess on me.

[deb_U_taunt]

Sitting at a stop light and the smoker next to me has their hand out the window to keep the smoke out of their car. Now, I am subjected to their bad habit.

People who text, talk and drive. I get so tired of getting cut off by people who are too busy on their cell to pay attention to where they are going. Please, stop risking lives other than your own.

Too much perfume or cologne......95 friggin degrees at the baseball game last weekend, and we get into an elevator thats overly crowded and I'm smashed behind three woman and two of the three bathed in the perfume......I had to hold my breath......:seeingstars:pity the poor people stuck near them when the sun started to bake them and the per FUMES began emmitting. I would of had to leave the ball park if they sat near me. Instant migraine.
