POLLLLLLLLLLLKA Dots.

NOT "POKKA Dots"

POLLLLLLLLKA. WITH AN "L" POLLLLLKA.

And NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER "Poka Dots"

And it's punishable by DEATH if you do "POKE-A-DOTS"

I can SOMETIMES forgive "Polky dots" because the "L" is present and my Granny used to say it that way. *twitch*

POLKA Dots. POLLLLLLLLLLKA.

Don't EVER mess with my piles--They make perfect sense to me and if you mess with them I will be lost for months. I am the only one who can depile my piles.

People who are late drive me nuts. I am always on time--If I'm not call out the troops, somethings wrong.

Cracking body parts in general just makes my toes curl--necks, knuckles, even my arthritic knee crack give me the creeps.

This one just cracked me up---

My other pet peeve is when sheets are put on the bed to high, they must be atleeat 12" from the top of the bed. I hate having balls and wads of sheet and blanket strangling my neck and arms.

I thought you all should know that after my first post, I managed to convince myself that really, I'm not that fussy a freak at all. "That's the only one I can think of", I assured myself. Yeah, right.

Okay, so when I accidentally choose the "comic sans" font instead of my beloved courier, while posting in forums such as these, I am thrown into a panic. My eyes widen and my heart races for just an instant. Even though it takes me literally point five seconds to redress the issue I am terrified that I may post in the hideousness (to me) that is C.S.

I feel the same way when I do not pick Century Gothic.

TeaPartyTart · 12-11-2009, 06:27 AM

"Two seconds"

Two seconds is not a realistic deadline to complete a task. When I ask you how long it will take you to complete something, arrive to a destination, etc., I'm looking for a time that is feasibly accurate. I'm not asking for a coutdown clock but there is a big difference between 2 seconds and 20 minutes.

Beau · 12-13-2009, 06:07 PM

Living in an apartment has its upside, but doing laundry is clearly not part of that. My fussy ire is provoked beyond control at the sight of someone else's stained underwear et al left far beyond the finishing time -- its crustiness proof of a neglectful slob -- even though the machines' timers clearly indicate when one should return.

I'm not folding your damned laundry, nor do I even remotely wish to touch it to move it out of the way.

Oh, and buy some goddamned new skivvies (or learn to use toilet paper), will you?

<-- post-appropriate smiley, huh?

i was so nervous then i understood you meant the SPELLING... i love my polka dots and polkas aren't bad, either. not much beats an elderly couple dancing a polka--and of course she should be wearing her finest polky dots.

here's one: if you pronounce the T in 'often' i will notice, often. in fact, every time. (but i won't say anything cuz that's just rude.)

Im having a junky day at work.

Mainly because this insane woman keeps calling me complaining about how the person who works the morning half of my job ISNT HERE.

Conversation:

Her: "I want to talk to X about the job cancel"

Me: "X leaves every day at 1pm and I've already handled the cancellation"

Her: "Well, X needs to send out a memo about their work hours"

Me: "I'll let them know. Was there anything else?"

Her: "Because I have been emailing X for 2 hours and he isnt responding."

Me: "Right. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "So you've handled the job? I guess that X will also be leaving at 1pm tomorrow?"

Me: "Yes, it is handled and YES, X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Nobody has ever told me that. Someone needs to communicate with us about the schedules."

Me: "Right. I can send out an email if you like."

Her: "It isnt going to work with him leaving work early every day. He needs to stay longer."

Me: "We can talk about it in our staff meeting if you like, but this is a job share, X works the morning shift, I work the afternoon shift."

Her: "Well, he needs to answer his email"

Me: "He wasnt here to answer them. He left at 1pm. Your email came in at 1:14pm"

Her: "You mean he doesnt stay a few minutes extra in case someone might need to contact him?"

Me: "No. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Well nobody every told me...."

SCRREEEAAAAMMMMMMMMM.

Scorp · 12-14-2009, 04:42 PM

OMFG what a complete fucking idiot this woman is!! I'm getting pissed just reading this exchange between you both. Is she for real???? What doesn't she understand??

Ok, I went to get my med. at a pharmacy we all know and love. With my ocd, I have a ritual with washing my hands. My hands are raw from constant re-washing them, and then putting on lotion. Well, today I got something on my hands at the pharmacy. I was about to go

and that is mildly putting it. So, I go to the bathroom to wash my hands. And some moron comes up to wash his hands behind me like I am going to stop my ritual for him. Oh no. Let's not even go there, buddy.

I don't know if they've changed the rules since I was in school, but both pronounciations are correct.

I just prefer the one without the 't' also.

What gets to me is that EVERYONE here (except me, the one who knows better) says "acrosst". No 't'! There is no freaking 't' in there, people!

OhmyeverlovingJeebus, that is irritating!
