Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

Crumbs in the butter...when washing dishes or loading the dishwasher...forks all belong in the same hole, spoons in a different hole, knives pointing blade down in a 3rd hole...drives me nuts to put flatware away when it is all mixed up

When people will put a container of food, juice, whatever back in the refrigerator instead of just throwing it out when there is only like a drop or two of stuff left in it! My step grandson does it all the time. There can be literally two swallows of kool aid left in the jug and he puts it back in the fridge!

When someone insists on having towels folded a specific way! Give me a break , as long as it's folded what does it matter?

Gayandgray · 08-26-2016, 07:47 PM

When smokers drop cigarette ashes all over the place.

Gayandgray · 08-26-2016, 07:54 PM

When people see me pushing my spouse in her wheelchair in Walmart parking lot and they don't bother to slow down and let us cross the road!

Taking out the trash. My son will wait till its falling on the floor then take it out, yes its just plain laziness on his part. Be glad when I can do it my self.

I have to argue a point here. I have no linen closet since they apparently phased them out 50 years ago...so my towels go on an etagere. The towels only fit if they're tri folded. And yes...they look neater to some people it does matter. But fold them the way you want lol. That's the best part of being single! Self dictatorship

I, too, play How High with the trash. When the tower crumbles, that's when you know it's time to take it out.

I make a point (a non-obvious one), to ask a new partner how she likes the towels folded. It is just easier and seems to be very important to some people.

I don't like when I am in a waiting room or bathroom stall and there are open chairs or stalls but the person comes and sits next to you.

Smiling · 08-31-2016, 07:48 PM

You're magnetic that way, Wrang1er. Be nice; I'm sure they can't help themselves. (I understand your frustration, though; I often have the same problem, lol)

What I'm about to discuss is probably more suited to the gross out thread, but this is the one on the front page so it's going here (Ooh, more material for those of you who are easily annoyed, lol)

Ceiling fans. No matter how often you clean, they are dirt collectors. And while I think it's great that they move air around (particularly here in the south where it can be very stale), it's still disgusting. I detest ceiling fans over my dining table, in my kitchen, and over my bed. And I'm no germophobe (homoe!). I think some dirt is good for a person. It builds character. But not over my dinner and not over the place where my naked body is laid out for rest and for anything else I may want to do there, okay?

....

I wonder if this has something to do with tribalism and some people needing to have a sense of community (even when relieving themselves).

Something else to think about in the middle of the night.

I am always nice...okay okay most of the time I'm nice. I prefer to be nice from a distance in those situations.
