    I don't like to poo in public toilets or when I visit other people's homes.
    Yep, same.
    when people hit their spoon or fork on their teeth when they eat.
    Yep, same as well as chewing with their mouth open.

    I think there are a couple more but I can't remember them at the moment. Lol.

    I like a quiet start to the day. Really can't stand radios or TV being on. Tough these days with kids, it can often send me mental. I am one of those people who like to get into the office early, I have my little routine and I get really antsy if someone comes in early who normally doesn't. I left a really good job as the new Financial Controller would ambush me the moment I walked through the door. He would send me a heap of emails overnight and have them all printed out ready to discuss. All I wanted was 5 minutes to turn on my computer, make my cuppa tea and check my email.

    I am also with the poo thing. Not too bad in a hotel room, but do struggle in other's homes. DH, well, he will go anywhere.

    Yep, have to feel secure to go to the loo. Pet hates are loos, even for pees, where locks aren't the normal bolt across one. Fancy shmancy little clippy dial things where you can't see it's actually locked, send me off2. Sometimes, I walk out with legs crossed.

    People who print off multi page documents, leave them on my desk AND DON'T STAPLE THEM.

    I remember the first time DH took me to meet his family, we stayed with them an entire Easter long weekend (in fact we got there on the Thursday) and I didn't poo once! took me about a week to get back to normal in that department!

    Great thread!

    Yep the poo thing definitely.

    People seeing me eat. If I have to I pull it apart and put tiny bits in my mouth rather than opening my mouth up wide.

    People walking behind me. Not out in public - more in like an office situation or something.

    People chewing on wood (like popsticks).

    Shoes on the carpet.

    Spitting.

    Ok yes maybe I am a bit uptight hehe ....

    Brushing my teeth in front of people! I dont like people seeing me spit. I just can't do it. I had a partner force me to do it once, I hated it.... and I remember having to brush my teeth in bed when I had my appendix out, I asked the nurse to close the curtain thingo so I could brush without people watching lol.

    Snorting when they have a cold... the sound of mucus ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

    Eating with mouth open....

    What a funny thread! Gave me a much needed laugh!
    What's great tho is that I too can relate to the "poo" issue, I thought I was the only one!
    I am actually already thinking about my stay in public hospital later this year to have "Bubs" and what am I going to do??

    My addition to the list is co-workers who don't ask if you'd mind if they turn the fan heater on at a shared desk!
    Very annoying, just polite behavior to ask I think...I'm hot enough being preggers!

    Ooh and I don't like to blow my nose in front of other people!
    Have a great Easter all,
    HH

    i hate it when i'm standing in line (i.e. at the supermarket) and the person behind me stands really close. ewwwww. i try and move forward to make more space but then they move up too. I mean, do you really have to stand THAT close to me?
