Saying “huh” after everything you say, but answering anyway.
So if you heard me, why say huh?

It could be anything. There is no limit to the universe of pain-in-the-buttishness possibilities.

Even the nicest person in the world can be a pain in the butt sometimes.

It really depends on who’s making the judgement of pain-in-the-buttedness. Different strokes for different folks. I’ve had people annoy me to no end that don’t annoy others.

Messy people! I can’t understand knowing you’re messy and not picking up after yourself.
And this does include people who litter. Gross.

canidmajor's avatar

Well, @KNOWITALL, I guess I take your name of the invite list! ;-p

BTW, I never litter.

Anybody who talks down to me or makes me feel stupid. Like if I go “This game is hard for me” and I get “Oh, that game is SO easy!!!! I beat it so fast.” This type of person has something to prove and it is lame.

When they constantly try to pin you down into doing what they want, committing to a date and time.

When someone constantly jumps on you about every little thing you say always twisting it into a negative. Just relax geesh, I’m not trying to hurt anyone.

@chyna I love the huh. That’s so funny. We know a guy who always says “there, there, there…” again and again, over and over. When the TV talking heads started saying “there is no there there” my husband and I broke into laughter and at the same time said our friend’s name. When I’m around him I can’t keep a straight face.

@canidmajor After being raised by a clutter-loving mom, I married a guy with ADHD. I’m probably just tired of being the only cleaner ha!

@KNOWITALL I hate tidying up, but what helped cure me was watching Clutterbug. When I get lazy I watch a YouTube of hers while I clean up. She puts people into 4 categories of organizing. It became like a puzzle to me figuring out what works for me. One thing she says is if you live with someone who has a different organizing style they can’t easily use yours and so they will do nothing.

My style is I need to be able to put things away very easily, put it in a basket with no top in big categories, like all the make-up together and then put it in a cabinet. I like surfaces uncluttered and behind doors and in drawers. If I have to dig stuff out when I need it that’s fine, I just need putting away to be super easy and not micro organized.

Like a kid, if he makes his own system he might follow it. Here’s her link, but the YouTube’s are really good for finding your organizing style.
