Pet Peeves and Weirdnesses

On the radio this morning, they were talking about pet peeves and weird things you do. Here's my list:

WEIRDNESSES

1. When I'm cooking I HAVE to clean up as I go. I often have to dig cake mix boxes out of the garbage because I forget to look at the instructions before I compulsively throw it away.

2. When I eat M&Ms, I have to eat the colors equally. And I group them by which colors look good together.

3. When I eat cinnamon rolls, I have to unwind them. When people just dig into them with a fork, I have to suppress the urge to tell them that they're not doing it the right way.

4. I still vacuum like a little kid - I hate moving furniture to vacuum underneath it. I mean, I do it about every-other-time I vacuum but I HATE it.

5. I have to have the stuff on my desk in the same order everyday. I can't go home at night without having all my pens in the pen holder.

6. I have an abnormally large personal space. Except when it comes to Husband. I can't be close enough to him. I think he wishes I would change that.

PET PEEVES

1. When people close the bathroom door after they come out. How am I supposed to know there's no one in there if the door's always closed?

2. People who leave lights on. Apparently not everyone got the opportunity to have Don McDonald from Wells Rural Electric come to their grade school bi-yearly to remind them not to touch downed power lines, stand in front of an open refrigerator, or forget to turn the lights off when you leave a room.

3. Food left on plates in the sink. Rinse it and put it in the dishwasher. It takes 30 extra seconds.

4. Liars - if you lie to me once, that's the only chance you will ever get.

5. People who don't let other people finish talking - I also don't like "one-uppers" - the people who follow your (or anyone's) stories with, "That's nothing, one time I..."

6. Clothes on the floor - PUT THEM IN THE HAMPER ONE FOOT AWAY.
