Sometimes it's nice to get silly things off your chest. Feel free to add a comment about your random confessions. These are mine today:
1. On both my car radio and my television I only listen with the volume on intervals of 5 (i.e, 5, 10, 15, etc.). If it's not on an interval of 5, I get very annoyed.
2. There is only one proper way for the toilet paper roll to hang...and if you hang yours incorrectly I WILL change it when I visit your guest bathroom. For the record, the roll should be pulled from the top only!
3. I judge people that can't properly differentiate between "you're" and "your" or "they're," "there," and "their." Is it really that difficult?
4. I prefer to have my picture taken with the left side of my face towards the camera - my hair falls nicely on that side and I consider it my "good side."
5. I'm obsessed with the MPG on my car. If it dips below 26 MPG for the tank I have to drive economically until it's back above 26.
So what about you? Any interesting obsessions, silly confessions you'd like to share?

Hmm. I guess I have some neurotic quirks.
ReplyDelete1. Hyphens in words. "E-mail". I'm a curmudgeon, but I hate it when people get lazy and can't spell words properly, and use a shortened syntax instead. This goes double for "txt speak".
2. Window alignment/size. Windows must align on the computer screen. They must be equidistant and, if it all possible, the same size (maximized is an exception). I will often spend minutes just tweaking one or two pixels of distance. When I see people with their browser windows almost full screen, but not maximized/snapped I take notice.
3. Operator assignment alignment. This is a programming thing. It just means that when you're assigning some value to a bit of memory all at the same time, all the "=" have to be space-aligned so that they make a nice neat row. (https://github.com/ndegruchy/js_injector/blob/master/js_injector.module#L47-77)
3.5. Extra whitespace around text drives me insane. I will delete spaces, tabs and other extraneous space every. time. I actually have a macro saved to do it.
4. My music library *must* be correctly tagged with artist, album (with art) and track number. No exceptions.
5. Doors must be closed, toilet seats must be down. I cannot *stand* it when cabinet doors are open or half-cocked. Toilet seats should be down because we're not all disgusting pigs.
5.5. Similarly, caps must be on bottles unless you are about to pour or about to re-cap the bottle.
6. I will exhaustively fill out all fields in a form that I am allowed or have the information for. I will not abbreviate if I don't have to and will even enter repeat information.
There is probably more. I probably just don't know about/notice it.
Ahh, the spelling thing really bothers me too. Considering that everything has spell check these days, if you have things misspelled then you're either lazy or an idiot. (Notice I said you're and not your). :)
ReplyDeleteAnd a guy that thinks toilet seats must be down? Craziness!!! Does that mean just the seat or the lid as well?
Thanks for sharing your quirks. I'm sure I have a ton more so there will likely be another confessions post at some point on here!
Haha! It's nice to know I'm the only one with odd quirks! Lol! Let's see....
ReplyDelete•I'm about the same way with the volume; I try to get it as close as I can to a multiple of 5.
•The toilet paper roll MUST be over!
•Cabinets are closed. Toilet seats AND lids are down. Honestly I don't see what the big deal is about men not putting the seat down. C'mon guys, how difficult can it be? It should be a hygiene thing if not a courtesy thing!
•THERE are many instances WHERE people will bug me with THEIR improper use of grammar. THEY'RE the ones that really WEAR me out when trying to decipher THEIR sentences. Also, the shortened syntax is an issue TOO!
As far as my own....
•Shirts must be on hangers, spaced evenly, and separated by category and color. (If you don't believe me, I have a picture on Facebook. Lol.)
•Clothes are neatly folded and properly separated in the dresser drawers.
•Bathroom and kitchen counters will be clutter-free! No mess or unnecessary items all over the place. I hate clutter, and I hate messes.
•DVDs are in categories and alphabetically arranged.
•My bed is neatly and tightly made within 5 minutes of getting up.
•Money in wallet is right side up and arranged by denomination.
Hmmm... I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now.
Although, there is one quirk I was happy to let go...
•Always having to hit an even dollar at the gas pumps!
Lol! :-)
