Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

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 and nearly made me fall down as I twisted and turned with my hand held lint roller.

I was not amused.

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.

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.

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 ---->

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.

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
