What's your uptight behaviour?

[nickle730]

OMG, CheezelMonster... I have toilet trained my DH, he now only wees in the toilet. I think I would send yours to the RSPCA, only animals wee in the back yard!!!! Seriously... uptight.

I don't like people who cough without covering their mouth. I don't need the hand gel though.

I don't like milk in my coffee before the water, and I hate it when people fill the cup so full you can't pick it up without spilling it!

[AnyDream]

Oh yeah, I am seriously uptight about people who insist the milk has to go in first otherwise the water "burns" the coffee. HELLO, instant coffee is made out of normal coffee which is made by adding boiling water to already-roasted-at-high temperatures coffee beans!!!!

[ashie]

me and dh are the same about pooping dont like to go number 2's anywhere but home. (oh except dh he'll poop at work cause you get paid for it lmao!)

im the same with cutlery against peoples teeth drives me crazy!
i cannot use a towel more than once, i am shocking once its used it needs to be washed (its how i was bought up) and went i met dh it drove me insane but now he just drops it on the floor and ill wash it
mash potato it has to be mashed good and proper, i forever mashing taties until they are perfect!
i can only eat chocolate iced doughnuts out of a pack from woolies (i like the pink ones too) but i just have to eat just the chocie ones and dh can have the rest!
oh i could go on and on :| i think i may have a few problems lol.

[RainbowBrite]

I am one of those terrible people that add milk first to the coffee...I can not drink it the other way round...yuk!
Definitely like to poo in my own toilet...and I will close the bedroom door and the ensuite door when I go for wees and poos. If I have to wee when someone is close by (cubicles) I will lean forward so it hits the front of the toilet and doesn't tinkle
I hate people walking behind me...particularly if they are pushing a trolley or pram.
I can not handle my toast cut in rectangles...they must be cut into two triangles and twp pieces of toast must be put on the plates opposite ways (like an X)
Yep I am a nut

[Cranky Kitten]

Hmmm, I prefer to use my own loo or at least a non-public one, but won't *not* go if the need arises. But that could come from having grown up working on a farm where the loo was a heck of a long way away and you couldn't just down tools and go - the trick was to time it so the workman on the other tractor in the paddock was on the other side of yours so they couldn't see you - or it'd be all over the 2-way.

About the only up-tight thing I have is seating arrangements in public spaces (restaurants etc) - I have to have a wall at my back or something solid. Some kind of paranoid clowns are trying to sneak up on me thing

[Pandora]

Milk was originally added first, for fear of the boiling water cracking the bone china teacups. (and apologies for not reading the whole thread if im repeating it)

I dont like people seeing me eat. I hate going out to eat with groups.

[Astrid]

Ooh - the following thing. Not good at being followed, or following someone else. If I am driving I often just want to pull over or change my route to stop it from happening, which can be hard on country roads.

[Kazzo]

i cant stand it if someone stands behind me.

Oh I can not stand this. When you in a cash register line and the person feels they need to stand so close you can feel them breathing OMG!

I am pretty bad, I could say yep to just about every thing PP have said.

I can not brush my teeth with White toothpaste. HAs to be gel and spitting it out actually makes me gag, which leads me to....

I can not stand to spit or to see someone spit, especially Plhem (sp?)

I can not touch paddlepop sticks or wooden skewers and seeing someone else touch or chew on them make my bloos go cold.

I can not touch people hair once it is no longer attached to a head. Animals are fine which is really lucky since I am a vet nurse

I can not eat corn on a cob, have to cut it off.

I can not leave a volume on an odd number, even numbers only for me.

Okay I will stop now before I start looking too crazy.

[meow]

Wow, I'll poop in any toilet. I even use the disgusting manky ones all through africa and south america etc. I don't like to hold

I can't stand people standing too close behind me in a queue. I'll back up and move forward to try and create some space but some people jsut don't get it and insist on coming up really close behind you. I had one person once talking REALLY loud on their phone RIGHT behind me. I tried moving and she kept coming right up behind me. I was giving her daggers in the end.

[alish]

hahah kazzo my hubby does the same thing (the even numbers on the volume control) even if its in the car or anything! it drives me insane!

yes i must agree with the queue thing, standing close to me isnt going to make it go faster!

[grub17]

seriously, i think the poo thing is a girl thing. On the odd occasion i've been caught out and had to do number 2 out at like a shopping centre or the gym or whatever, I cough and sneeze and carry on to disguise the noise!

I don't like doing it in front of DH either Keike and usually kick him out, but he always says "he doesn't care" and just barges in all the same. it annoys me no end.

Party of five - eating with your mouth open!!!! i'm soooo with you!!! my SIL does it especially with salad and it just drives me batty, it's so gross. My Brother also hates it and actually got up and moved seats away from my SIL at our wedding so he didn't have to hear/watch the noise lol.

The other thing i HATE is having non-matching pegs on a garmet. I like to have my pegs matching no one white one blue peg on a pair of pants for me!!! and if i can I like to have the entire row the same colour peg. DH takes great delight in swapping the pegs on me!!! gggrrrrrr

oxox

[Bathsheba]

Yep, peg colours MUST match. I gave my 4yo niece a lesson about this only yesterday. She seemed to take it on board without question... next thing my sister will have to have words with me. My 16yo DD has learnt well... even getting the match correct according to subtle tonal varations due to sunlight fading. Bright pink pegs match with bright pink... not a faded pink

I also remove pegs that have been left on a clothesline after the clothes have been taken in. My SIL complained once until I warned her that dust and bugs gather on them if they are left outside on the line and that they are a pain to have to remove when laying out a sheet etc. Either she agreed with me in the end or decided to let it go...

I could write an essay about correct peg usage.



I agree with Pandora too about eating in public... it's really not ideal. Sometimes I partially cover my mouth if i can't get the picture of a bovine intensive feed lot out of my head.

[helle]

I have to admit I'm another who saves #2's for my own home DH will go anywhere, I don't know how they do it. I can't stand how he'll whizz in the backyard! I think "there is a toilet literally on the other side of that wall..."!

I always put the seat down & it irks me when visitors leave it up! Gosh I sound very toilet obsessed now

Um...what else? I get really uncomfortable when someone makes me a coffee & puts the milk in before the water.

My DH will pee outside off the front veranda. We live in a cul de sac. All it will take is someone looking out their front window, or stepping out their front door and they're gonna cop an eyefull of DH's junk. I don't know how he does THAT. I couldn't really imagine going out there and having a squat and waving when one of the neighbours see me having a wiz, i mean really! HOWEVER, that patch of lawn is really quite lush. just don't step on it...

I have to turn the TV/Stereo volumes up in lots of five, if it's a number controlled thing. DH likes to make me jittery by turning the volume up and leaving it on 17 or something stupid... i *HAVE* to change it.

I won't parkmy car next to other cars. If i have to I always park it next to a nice car because I don't want someone opening their car door on mine and denting it, or bashing a trolley into it. (and I'm assuming someone who has a nice new car is gonna be anal about it...) I know that is very judgmental of me (judging peoples behaviour by what sort of car they drive) but I don't care. I paid alot of money for my car and I don't see why I should let other people trash it when I don't even trash it myself.

I am a self confessed snob, however if I needa poop, i can poop anywhere

[Phteven]

I'm the same with my cars.
I have a spot that I always use. It's next to the pillar (so I only have to worry about bad parkers on one side), far away from the shop entrance (so that the people who drive around for ages looking for a spot near the door don't park near me) and near the entrance ticket machine thingy (so that no-one thinks of smashing my window because there is always an audience). I always feel a little sad on the occasions that my spot is taken...

i have a spot too ><;; it's near a curb island thing, also a good hike away from the shop, I park up as close to the curb as I can because then i figure if someone does park near me (and assuming they stay in the white lines) they have heaps of door swinging space and there should be no reason as to why their door would even connect with mine.
Glad there is someone else out there!

[Bathsheba]

If I drove I'd be the same about particular spots. As it is i am very uptight about my favourite spot in the room I have my French course at the local Community college. Fortunately last term everyone was the same... we all knew each other's spots and respected them

[Pandora]

We had the same thing at kinder drop off/pick up. One mum used to try to race and get my spot, no idea why, it's was funny because she was so serious about it.

[LionsandBears]

Crumbs. On the floor. Do my head in! I have to resist running for the little hand held vac. DH is the worst offender. Even when he uses a plate, all these crumbs end up on the floor. Why can't people eat neatly?

I can't stand polystyrene. The sound and texture gives me goosebumps.

I also have to shower at night or I cant get to sleep.

I need peace and quiet at night to wind down.

Anything that lands on the floor must be washed. If someone drops the dishcloth and then wants to dry the dishes with it, I'll take it off them. I've seen people use a benchcloth to wipe something on the floor then use it again on the bench. I nearly threw up.
