I have short arms, so the most comfortable (regardless of dry/wet condition) is 3/4 sleeves.

We have a mini monster with 4 legs and a big mouth and she not-so-vaguely resembles Molly, our half Lab/Dobie.

On a side note, and to post in here for Molly, while she does covet socks she HATES feet.....except mine. She likes my feet but never steals my socks. Interesting...

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.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Foot bondage. Love it!

I have small feet, so the average size of 9-11 makes my feet swim in it. I totally relate.

I feel so much better now.

*sigh*

I am not so Judgy McJudgerson about feet. I just don't like them. Touch mine, fine. I. Will. Not. Touch. Yours. Ick!

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!!"

I have always had acne. Subversive little dots, so hopefully, I won't have to worry about you sacking me and attacking my face.

Should that happen, I might have to go ninja on you.

I HATE people touching my face and hair. HATE. IT.

I'll take your tucked sheets. My feet are always cold (poor circulation) so I need the tucked sheets to preserve what little warmth I have.

I absolutely cannot stand it when the sheet rises up from the end of the bed. I will get up in the middle of the night and fix it if this happens.

kitchen sinks with too much of a slope bug me. i think the sound of stainless steel measuring cups or utensils, et c. falling into the center of the stainless steel sink, having a collision as fast as they are placed there is unnerving.

Sharp knives in the kitchen sink. Did someone purposely place it there so I could cut my finger off? Come on, it's not hard to place them behind the faucet until dishes are done. The knives here are very SHARP and I don't want to put my fingers in with something that can cut a can in half and still cut my tomatoes paper thin.

People who come into my personal space uninvited. I don't want you there, please leave.

People who wanna get all touchy feel-y on me. Don't put your hands on me unless you have my permission. A hug of greeting when we haven't seen each other in awhile is acceptable.

People who tell their life story to the cashier. Hello? I'm behind you and I'd really like to check out. No one wants to hear it or really cares about it... move on, talk to your friends. If you don't have any... find some in the aisles or something but DON'T hold up the check out line. I'm here because I'm ready to LEAVE not to stand there and listen to you blather about your life. Can you see the cashier's glazed eyes? She's only being polite because she's not allowed to tell you shut up and leave!

Gemme · 12-09-2009, 09:39 PM

Okay, this gets me .

When someone comes into a thread, especially the gamey type threads, and just posts without looking at the rules or anything. I want to play bad teacher and pull out the ruler when that happens.

QueenofQueens · 12-10-2009, 01:18 AM

I have no tolerance for the cold AT ALL.
Hence, if the temperature falls below say, 60 degrees Fahrenheit, (yes, I'm a lightweight) I have to immediately put a scarf around my neck and wear it AT ALL TIMES. I'm wearing one now as I type this.
I call it my Mackenzie Phillips look. Moreover, I am completely convinced that if I simply wear my scarf AT ALL TIMES I am completely impervious to germs.
Furthermore, if for some untoward reason, my scarf is left behind and the weather is nipply,

I will stop what I'm doing and go back to wherever it is, no matter WHERE it is and retrieve it.

Scarf:
Fetish object. Talisman. Shield from all evil.

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.

lmao... you have to remember when dealing with sinks "hands below the elbow... hands below the elbow"... lol

Thank you, Met. I am certain this advice will be beneficial for many of us. I'm also (fairly) certain you learned it the hard way...

Selenay · 12-10-2009, 01:44 AM

Don't walk up to me and try to have a conversation with me while I am already in the middle of a conversation with a book.

If you approach me while I am reading, or listening to music, or otherwise engrossed in something and I am clearly not receptive (ie: i put the headphones back in my ears after I greet you) I do not want to talk.

If it's not an emergency, it can wait

And your lack of planning is not my emergency.

I have a spin-off to report. I work in tattoo shops where generally speaking, a cacophony of conflicting noises seems to elicit extreme pleasure from most of the failed rock stars that make their living this way. Save the one typing this.
If I hear the sound effects from Grand Theft Auto layered over a death metal band, layered over a moronic discussion about graffiti, sneakers or famous tattoo artists, it is enough to trigger homicidal psychosis. I'm not kidding, the defense department probably utilizes a similar soundscape to create remorseless killing machines. If not, they're remiss.

It's when you see a car driving by and someone has their nasty ass feet propped up on the dashboard, or actually touching the windshield. I am completely repulsed. Extra gross out points for folks who choose to perch their hoof on rolled down window. Makes me want to drive by and lob it off.

*sigh*

I'll see your "piggies in the window" and raise you a "yoga toe"*.
Example: I simply cannot exercise in a room after someone has rested their "yoga toe" on every available surface while stretching their ass directly toward my face, no matter where I'm positioned or what direction I'm facing. I feel like I am being oppressed by their healthy lifestyle hegemony. Plus, it makes everything seem like it looks like it must smell.

*yes, I am talking about an actual toe, not anything related to a camel.

TeaPartyTart · 12-10-2009, 09:15 AM

I think this thread is more therapy for me.

This morning I went out to clean off my car because we live in Chicago and it's -21 windchill and well, it has to be done if you are driving anywhere. I'm very particular about snow and ice removal and feel I need to get all of the snow and ice not only off all the windows, but make sure all of the snow is removed from the car, as well.

What ticks me off is seeing drivers who take less than a 1/2 assed approach at clearing off their car. The ones with the 4x4in space on the driver's side window who feel that will suffice as they navigate the potholed filled city streets. Never mind them still trying to manage their cell phone, coffee and kids in the backseat.

Follow that up with a good 6 inches of stacked snow on their car that will blow into my windshield and I'm ready to call 911 because I'm about to report an assault because I want to beat the shit out of them.

OK- back to work for me.

DON'T mess with my filing system. Okay, so to you, it looks like piles of paper strewn randomly around the floor, but to me, it makes perfect sense and represents order, control, and other things necessary to stop me from losing my mind.

And DON'T, whatever you do, touch my lists, especially my lists of where my lists are. The fact that half the time I can't read my own writing is irrelevant. I wrote the lists, I want the lists, and even if I can't read the lists, you are not, not, NOT, to touch them.

People who are late. Drives me crazy. I have been known to leave without people who don't respect my time, of course unless they call me and say, "I am stuck in the MacArthur Maze." I am almost always on time if not 15 minutes early.

I once charged my Dr. $45.00/hr for 3 hours after I waited for him to get off the golf course (I overheard the nurse talking to him). Let's just say I never waited again and he didn't pay it.

People who honk their car horn a lot for no reason other than they are frustrated. Totally annoying.

People who crack their knuckles. *shiver* Just ew.

Novelafemme · 12-10-2009, 12:35 PM

Speaking of the "camel toe"....it pains me to see it. In more ways than one. If yer pants are so dang tight that I can see your lady lips....you need to seriously re-think your wardrobe choices. Please!

I may or may not have been in our room rocking back and forth crying whilst you cleaned the hall closet.
