Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.
I just needed to carve a little confessional booth...dig a little hole in the ground behind the house...have some little niche where I can put these things. I thought it might benefit others who, like me, live a life rife with tiny torments.
Here's one: I hate it when the ends of my sleeves get wet when I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt. IT FUCKING DRIVES ME NUTS. When this horrible thing happens, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and change my shirt. Elsewise, I might spin aimlessly in a circle clawing at the offensively moistened cuffs, as if I'd been doused with flames. Thanks for letting me share. |

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 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 |

I also get very stressed after meals (usually the ones that include greens of some sort) because in my mind this might be happening. and I run my tongue across my teeth until it is bleeding if there is no mirror around. If I am with someone who revels in my freakishness I may ask...do I have something in my teeth? Phew! I feel better already. |

I hate moist sock syndrome to the point that unless snow is deep enough to cover my shoes, I will not wear socks.
The sleeve thing has forced me to own lots of 3/4 lenth sleeves.

Pantyhose or tights with a sagging crotch are unacceptable. I can't wear them, no matter what.
Wearing wool is very difficult--it itches, feels weird, and just skeeves me out. I might wear cashmere (were I to have any cashmere...), but only with something underneath to buffer me from the itchiness which, apparently, only I experience. I absolutely cannot wear any kind of wool if it gets wet. I have a wool dress coat that I wear with the sleeves rolled up so I can't feel the wool on my wrists. I have to wear gloves, too, so I can't feel the wool on my hands when I touch the coat. I'm getting chills just thinking about it.

I have ocd very badly. I no longer can wear long sleeved shirts because of it. When I was wearing l/s, if I got anything on the cuffs, I would have to roll them up. And if they got wet, it freaked me out. I would change shirts. I could change shirts 2-3 times a day.
If I get anything on my sportshirt or even my undershirt, off it goes. Laundry is done every single day in my house. That is just how bad my ocd is. Other things I do... *I count *I check and recheck doors, stove & oven, coffee maker, car door locks, car windows *Saying someone's name in a certain order and 3x's...everything is done in 3's *I very rarely wear socks. Socks are just one more thing to bother me. |

OK back to socks.
Where do they come from...the little mounds of them everywhere? Behind the couch, under the bed, in the bathroom corner, in a cabinet????????????? How do they get there? Where do they go? I have long suspected a link between missing socks and the Bermuda Triangle, Jimmy Hoffa and the Polar Ice Cap. I wonder if when the ice cap melts, a huge sea of lost socks will emerge. *hrummph*

I think there is a Sock Monster (much in the same manner of the Tooth Fairy) that lives in my dryer. It gobbles up my socks but doesn't find matching pairs tasty. I also have three mini sock monsters with a total of twelve legs. They like to grab and run to the backyard, kennel or under the couch with the prize. |

A LOT
Drives me nuts: alot there is NO such word. A lot. A lot. A lot. Now write it five million times on the chalkboard.
Sock: non-consensual foot bondage...hate them. I wear them only when I deem it necessary. "You are cold, put on some damn socks." NO! Drives people crazy, a lot.

I, too, have a Sock Monster.
Her name is Lucy. I have seen her climb into a sock~wearing visitor's suitcase and run off with one of their socks in seconds. She has it down to a science! She has a basket of socks, and occasionally, she will bring me one to play tug-of-war with and such fond memories are evoked......"Oh Boo! It's your Unkie Dylan's sock when he came to paint the girl room 2 years ago!" It's a fun game. Wait. What was the subject of this thread again? |
