Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

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
