People who leave used tissues lying around......It's disgustingly unhygienic! Flush them down the toilet, please!

I like my towels hung nicely and evenly in my bathroom. I 'fix' them if I have guests over. <insert eyeroll of a foxy dork>

I hand wash my dishes, I live alone, so its no biggie. BUT... how hard is it to get all the food of the dishes?? Two of my ex's were so <shudder> inattentive I would often toss the dishes back into the sink, getting me the dreaded - evil eye. Pfft Plz.... So, I checked my cutlery and dishes before I put food on them. That just grosses me out. Like....alot.

I'm guilty of the hon, honey, dear, etc thing. Sometimes. I don't say it to just anyone and it stems directly from my upbringing. I'm from the South and everyone was a darlin' or sweetie or whatnot. Just like I'll still call elderly woman Miss and whatever their first name is. That's just the way I was brought up, although I do try to put a cork in it when around folks that might not feel comfy with it.

It irks me tremendously when someone who is NOT from the South (at least, to my knowledge) does it. It irks me more when it's condescending, no matter who says it.

Frankly, I'm so damn picky and finnicky, I don't know how I've gotten as many people to live with me as I have.

Everything has a place and there's a place for everything. Lids gets screwed on tight, not just 'put on' something. Ovens get wiped every day, as do counter tops. If a freshly washed and dried dish (by someone else of course, as it would not happen with me) still has spots or bits of food on it, it gets washed again. Immediately.

I think having proper manners covers a lot of stuff that's already been posted, whether it's a burp issue or mess leaving issue or someone just not being courteous to others in the household.

As for the specific circumstance of having crumbs in the butter, I get squinchy-faced when I see it, but I don't always scoop it out because I know they are just going to return. It's a never ending battle and some days I'm just plumb out of ammo.

I have a few pet peeves.. lol

people who spit when they talk, i will step away in an attempt to avoid the flying particles

tooth paste in the sink.. i am so glad that you brush your teeth.. i dont need the evidence left for me to clean

poor etiquette, lack of manners. Is it really that difficult to say please, thank you, your welcome, excuse me?

spit.. i gag when i see people spitting on the ground, out the window.. yuck!!!
And if we are intimate.. and you gob on your hand rather than grab lube.. i am freakin out of there!!!

stargazingboi · 02-28-2012, 03:55 PM

Most things don't get to me..they use to, but then I realized life was short and little things weren't worth bitching about. That being said I do have a couple things that get to me from time to time

~ when I get distracted and my cereal that is suppose to be crunchy gets soggy

~ In the past I have had people decide to re-organize my stuff or move it...when I put something somewhere that's where I'm going to go to find it again. If it's not there I end up feeling like I'm loosing my mind...or my memory and that's never a good feeling. I should be able to find my stuff and not have to ask every minute where something is located. There is something to be said about living somewhere and knowing where to find things.

Also, people who close one nostril then blow hard to "clear" the other nostril.....that's pure disgusting!

People who Nose-mine then wipe their fingers on the inside of their pockets or eat it.....just don't ever come near me!
