Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

Where to begin

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

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!!"

Um, what would have been SUPER gross is if you flipped the poor boy on his back and started gripping his face.

.... just sayin ....

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

)

... 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!!!"

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...

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

PS.. I knew you did the garden banning on purpose.. heh! Put the snips down and back slowly away from the garden!!! muah!

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.

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.
