Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

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.

Might I add that if the bed is not made (and made properly) I will not get in it. Even if I am totally ready to hit the hay...if the bed is un-made I will make it and then get in.

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

For some reason, I can eat the meat off of a spare rib. Go figure.

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.

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 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 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...

Ditto!

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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Foot bondage. Love it!

I have small feet, so the average size of 9-11 makes my feet swim in it. I totally relate.

I feel so much better now.

*sigh*

I am not so Judgy McJudgerson about feet. I just don't like them. Touch mine, fine. I. Will. Not. Touch. Yours. Ick!

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 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.

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

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.

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 · 12-09-2009, 08:29 PM

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.

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!

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.

YES!!!!

This post may or may not offend those with large lady lips that would protrude no matter what pants they were wearing.
