Do you have any little quarks that need to be fixed or changed when you see them?

Asked by willbrawn (6619points) October 15th, 2008

My example. Toilet paper, whenever i go into any bathroom and the toilet paper does not roll of the top of the roll i switch it. I need it coming from the top. Totally drives me nuts.

Anything like that bother you. Doesnt necessarily have to do with the bathroom.

Two sips of OJ left in the bottle.

Not closing the bread the way it was found.

Eating all the cookies before anyone else gets any (homemade ones).

Reading the newspaper and making a mess out of it.

I work in a library, and all the chairs around the tables have to match, if they don’t I’ll rearrange them. Also, I need to alphabetize things; if there are papers with names on them, I have to put them in alphabetical order. I would also have to turn your toilet paper around Will, it has to come out the bottom, not over the top!

I have to straighten out people’s clothes. If there’s a wrinkly or some uneveness, I have to smooth it out. Usually I only do this with people I know well (because it often requires some gross violation of personal space) but littler things, like straightening out the upturned cuffs on someone’s sleeves, I do with almost anybody.

straighten a picture, point out an un zipped zipper, tuck in a tag even on a strangers clothing, but none of these are as bad as my daughter who has to physically hold herself back from popping an ugly zit.

I like the toilet paper from the bottom…

I’ve many quirks…

People leaving lights on in rooms.
Ppl not washing their hands after using the bathroom.
Ppl not looking at you when talking to you.
Ppl that interrupt all the time.
Seeing the same commerical more than once in an hour.
Toilet seats left up.
Ppl who leave the sink all wet around it when they wash their hands.
Ppl who stop, instead of merging onto the freeway.
Ppl who follow you too closely on the road.
Not putting things back where you found them.
Ppl that drag their feet instead of picking up their feet.
PPl that correct ppl’s spelling on social sites, when it doesn’t matter!

Should I go on??? :)

My daughter has this dog hair fetish…can’t stand hair on her clothes. We have 5 dogs…I use their fur as an accessory. Drives her mad. I love it.
