I shaved my eyebrows off in grade 5. I was kind of a stupid child. Didn't think anyone would notice. It just fascinated me how razors could get rid of hair so easily.

I was a stupid only child. I'd break things and then HIDE them; then when my mom quizzed me on it, I'd say that I didn't do it. She was a single mom, so she was like, "IfI didn't do it, then who did?" while laughing at me.

Basically it taught me to be a better liar throughout my life, and to cover my tracks a bit better. LOL

i think feet are ugly no matter whose they are and i put antiperspirant on mine to keep them from sweating.

i won't eat at anyone's home that i know lets their cats on the counters or table. water pistols are good teaching tools.

i charge my doctors for making me wait. my time is just as valuable as theirs.

i refuse to call anyone by their profession, i.e. doctor, major, etc. they don't call me by mine - assistant finance director.

Cndeariso, I admire you.
I put deodorant/antiprespirant on my feet so they won't make my shoes stink.
I won't eat anywhere where cat's are allowed to be on the tables or counters. I can't stand pet hair on clothes, counters, floors, etc.
I'll bet the cat's get on the counter when people aren't home, and they don't know it. It's gross, if I wanted to eat dirty kitty litter particles I would.

Blech.
I love my cat but cat's are gross.


How do you charge your doctors? I would love to do this also.
I don't call anyone by their profession, although I might if I were to meat a president or something, but I imagine if it were George W. Bush, I'd say "How's it goin' GW?" and I am sure he'd think that was just fine.

i tell them as soon as they come into the exam room how long they have had me waiting and unless it was a true emergency i tell them to either deduct the amount i have calculated from my bill that day or i will bill them. it is amazing how many of them adjust my bill right there on the spot. i, of course, include the cost of benefits at 35% of my salary.

if i were to ever meet GW, i wouldn't call him mr. president. i would call him george. that is his given name, isn't it? he is no better man than my daddy. i went to college and have worked all my adult life, so why should i call someone by their profession if they aren't going to call me by mine?

i do say please, yes/no sir/mam, thank you and the like because i do believe in good manners.

doctors are the worst though wanting you to call them doctor so-n-so. i tell them to call me by my first name, not mrs. so-n-so as that is not my name. then i ask them what their friends call them. if they respond by telling me doctor then i just call them by the first name listed on their paperwork. i have only had one doctor that got upset by it. so, i explained my position. he still insisted that i call him doctor. i never went back to see him again and i didn't call him doctor. he is just a man and if he isn't willing to establish a personal relationship with me then he isn't getting my business.

i'm sorry for ranting on about this. as you can tell i am very passionate about it. we don't live in a class society in the United States of America.

I love this thread! How fun! It’s the little idiosyncrasy things that makes us all special!

Herckle - the "finger dance"! Oh my god how you made me laugh. I have done that since I was 14 in Job's Daughters while sitting in choir! We all used to do it and the lady playing the piano would stop and scold us if she saw. What a fun memory. I have NO idea where it came from!

Colossus - I also have to stop & watch Godfather & I have no excuse cuz I'm a girl <grin / wink>

I actually have Godfather weekends where I watch all 3, in order of course. I even have a version that is slightly different & will watch first the original version then the other one and try to spot the differences!

I hate mashed potatoes - they make me gag. I think it’s the texture in my mouth, which has happened since I was small.

I agree Jell-O shouldn't be a food product. Reminds me of snot LMOA!

I also sleep in the buff but keep a nighty close by incase of emergency (I grew up in California & once ran outside in my all together to get out of the house during an earthquake). After that em-bare-assing (hehe) nightmare I always keep something to slip on close by.

I'm not a cat fan & prefer not eating where cats crawl on the kitchen counters but I know its silly cuz I let me dog "kiss" my face and we all know where dog’s tongues have been!

My mother was a real pip in her younger days. She absolutely hated the word basically. She said it either is or it isn't...there's no basically about it. She also refused to shake hands with men because my dad told her that men don't always wash their hands after using the bathroom and she said well they aren't shaking my hand after shaking their weenie. LOL

Eeyore shaved off one eyebrow I think; I don't recall both of them gone. I have to say that was hilarious! You know how hard it is to be a stern parent and keep a straight face? It is impossible.
Logic did not work with Eeyore; it was always Mr. Nobody who did all the stuff. I never caught that guy either.

I am very particular about color coordination in dressing, so we do NOT want to mention Eeyore's color preferences in fashion when she was younger.
Some of her 'outfits' made me cringe.

I make like I am stepping off the curb to scare drivers who think they can beat the red lights at corners. They find out how good their brakes are really fast.

I like to stand really close behind a person who is standing on the left side of escalators and not walking up or down. The rules are to stand to the right if you are too lazy to move. If they don't move out of my way, I just lean against them and breathe on them; that usually gets them to move.

I suspect that I am a really annoying person.

OMG - I AM my mother's daughter.

If someone is walking too slowly in the mall, I will purposely step on the back of their heels to make them know I am behind them. They always turn around, and get out of my way though.

Try it next time you are stuck behind a slow walker, and can't go around. It works!

It's a good thing I don't drive a car; a shopping cart makes me drunk with power.

I hate people who take up more than half a small aisle with their crooked cart - I will just barrel along with MY cart and push theirs out of MY way. I bet some people are suprised when they turn around and find their cart has moved about 10 ft down the aisle!

I count the items in people's carts in the express aisle. I DO comment and tell the person to get out of the express aisle if they are over the line limit. I don't include those who have the 4 for a dollar items, I am talking about the people in a line for 8 items or less and they have at least 24 single items.

Another handy use of carts are to bump people from behind who just stop in the middle of nowhere, leaving no room for others to get by them.

When I get off the subway car, I make sure to push the people who seem to think it's OK to stand right in front of the opening door. How they expect to get ON if they are blocking me from getting OFF is beyond me.

It works great for me.

i have asked many a person that parked in a handicap spot without a sticker if they were mentally handicapped since they obviously can't read. some move their vehicle, some ignore me, and some flip me off.

I have found that the older I get the more outspoken I am about what a lot of you have posted about - people with 200 items in the express lane, a group of people taking up the whole sidewalk, standing in the middle of the aisle.

Traffic - slow vehicles in the passing lane; people not pulling over for emergency vehicles or funeral processions; not using blinkers; trying to beat pedestrians when they have the light but also pedestrians who step into traffic against the light.

Food - I have to have cheese on sandwiches and in a dinner salad; condiment of choice must be on both pieces of bread; hamburger patty goes on the bottom bun; order of sandwich is meat, cheese, onions, pickle, tomato, lettuce; cannot eat meat with any kind of sweet sauces except for ketchup and BBQ sauce (I order sweet and sour chicken with the sauce on the side and then just eat the chicken).

I have to have a shower in the mornings even if I had one the night before; there are different shades of black and they do not all go together; regular panty lines are gross enough but t-back lines are beyond gross; sandals with hose or socks make no sense; men should only be allowed to wear Wranglers.

I haven't posted in this weird section, but that's only because I have so many of these neurosis, I'd just embarrass myself. LOL. I mean who doesn't stock up on all their paper products and canned goods? And of course, the paper rolls outward, I grew up with it the other way, but learned how to do it 'right' eventually. LOL.
And I am going to wear closed shoes so nobody can see my stubbly toes if I ever meet you guys. blush.

And don't ever, Ever, EVER mess with my fridge magnets. Or my knicknack collection. I'll post a pic one day, and you will see the fruits of my labours. It takes me HOURS to get each thing exactly where I want it, til I'm perfectly satisfied. And that goes for canned goods, etc too. Oh and when I'm at the supermarket, I have to get the same amount of canned items. So at the cash you would never see, 3 tins of this and 4 tins of that and 2 tins of that. Uh-uh. Nope, it would be an equal number of each, eg: 3 of each, or whatever. But usually an even number.

Vinnie is funny too, he cannot physically bring himself to buy just one of anything. He's always coming home with 2 loaves of bread, or 2 Bunches of bananas, and I hate the smell of bananas once they 'turn'. And he's the only one who eats them. He is compelled to have at least two of everything. I always joke (?) that its a good thing I'm his second wife.

Oooh, now that I've gotten started, make me stop! This is insane, I can think of millions of oddities at my house. LOL. I also can't pass a crooked pic and not fix it. etc. My place is very cozy, littered with knicknacks, but in formation!

I love pineapple on my pizza, and I know a lot of people find that yucky.

MY PET-PEEVES:

TVCHers who do NOT have links in their bio to their folders. Big Wet Sloppy Smoochies to those who are thoughtful enough to do so. I know its a personal choice, but I'm lazy and resent the extra steps required in the search. Bite me. LOL.

Also, I get a major case of the heebie-jeebies when people pronounce gas as gaz, and Massachussets as Mazzachussets, etc.
