Gaaaah! I'm Rockzilla when it comes to this.

Gah! Other than to see two bands that don't play that often & I absolutely love, I have not been to a show in at least 5 years. I can't handle "scene" kids at all...and they seem to get more & more obnoxious every time I see them.

1. People who touch my pillow.
2. "Were going to the store, Bill and me." (Bad grammar. This is your language, learn to use it!)
3. Watching someone else brush their teeth.
4. You have a napkin for a reason, but it should not remain on the table or be clutched in your grubby hand: please put it in your lap, but don't forget to use it!
5. Apologies for going there, but I can't stand "remains" in the toilet. Stick around and make sure your business is taken care of before you leave!
6. Darker lip liner than lipstick. Ladies, haven't we all heard that this is wrong? Why do I still see it happen!?
7. No manners. Say "please", say "thank you", say "excuse me". I do not know anyone who wasn't taught this as a child.
8. Talking to me when I'm reading or watching the show I've told you I can't wait to see.
9. Peoplewhotalktoyouthisclose.
10. People who give you unsolicited opinions, especially negative ones. "Your blue shirt looks better on you." Um... shut up!
11. Talking on cell phones in the store/library/church/meetings.

- The sound of styrofoam rubbing together *shudder*
- Heavily pregnant women walking around in teeny tiny tops with their tummy hanging out - look, I'm not pregnant and even I don't do that.
- People eating with their mouths open
- When people touch my stuff - whether it be in my home, on my body or at my desk at work I can't stand it
- Oh and the biggest one for me (for the time being) - WHEN PEOPLE TOUCH MY MONITOR WITH THEIR GREASY SLIMY FINGERS AND LEAVE MARKS ALL OVER IT! ARRGGHH! Drives me insane!!

Oh my gosh I realized the best one yet.... The people that work at kiosks in the mall and run up and practically assault you trying to sell you stuff!!! Oh my god I hate that! I always feel kind of bad for them because it has got to be such an awful job but my god they are so annoying!
The best is when they are trying to sell you a phone as you walk by on your phone

I cant sleep with any limb hanging off the edge of the mattress.. feet hands ect.

Cant sleep with the door open

If someone is wiping off a dry erase board or chalk board and they miss a little tip of a letter.. I cant stand it.. I have to wipe it off.



Same, same and same.

It really bothers me when the tap is dripping, but I suppose that is not all that strange since it's used as a method of torture,

The only time that bothers me is when they're selling curling/straightening irons. They're always like "You really need this" or "This would be good for your hair", with this 'you poor child' or disgusted look on their face (I have an afro). It's a trip, but actually makes me giggle a bit.

-The presence of any male in the kitchen when I'm cooking, except for occasions in which I need someone to peel a potato or reach something that's up high.
- My boyfriend giving me a bear hug when I'm trying to make a fucking souflee (THIS HAPPENED TODAY GRRRR)
-Getting a B+
-Getting my stomach touched.
-Christmas music
-Holiday PC (JEWS DO NOT CARE IF YOU SAY "MERRY CHRISTMAS")
-The sound of dogs barking
-Cracked nail polish. If it's imperfect, then I have to chip off the rest.
-When people think I'm Filipina.
-Shoes in the house.
-When rice is soggy on the outside and chewy in the middle.

This is the best thread! It's wonderful to know that I'm not the only one out there with weird little things that cause freak outs!

Some strange things that bother me:
* Styrofoam (sp?) I hate the sound of it squeaking and I absolutely can't stand the way it feels.

* Leaving sticker labels (like price stickers or those stickers at the tops of cds) on things. I NEED to peel them all off.

* My clothes have to be organized by type (all tank tops together, t shirts together etc) *and* by length and colour.

* My books have to be organized by size. Or else.

* People smacking their lips when they eat or chew gum. It makes me want to strangle them!

* People eating things with a spoon and turning the spoon upside-down in their mouth and scraping the spoon against their teeth as they pull it out. My boyfriend does this everytime he eats ice cream and I just want to punch him!

* People getting too close to me. Even if it's someone I know & love, I can't stand anyone in my face.

* ANYONE touching my hair! I used to wear my hair in big pompadours and shellacked bettie bangs and people would insist on touching my hair! I don't put all that work into it for someone to put their dirty mitts all over it! Blah!

* When people rub my back. Not like a massage but when they come up and rub my back up and down. It makes me feel like I'm going to get all staticky.

* Vomit. I have an EXTREME phobia/aversion to vomit. If I'm around someone and they throw up or say they feel like throwing up, I'll have panic-attacks and freak out until I can get a safe distance away. On the same note, the phrase "blow chunks" upsets me greatly.

*Floor tiles with no pattern to them. When I worked at Tower Records, the floor would drive me insane because it had different coloured tiles placed randomly and with no definite pattern.

* Zits/blackheads. I don't have a zit fetish or anything, but if someone has a whitehead/blackhead on their face ALL I can think about is popping it so it will go away and stop bothering me! :confused:

I hate that! but there is a reason for it. They make the floor ugly so people wont look at it, but at the merchandise. TRICKY! LAS VEGAS is famous for ugly patterned carpet in the casinos, so that you look at the slots and not at the floor.. (people tend to look down a lot while walking)

I have a coworker who sits fairly close to me. She talks back to her computer. Like when she reads an email, for example, you'll hear, " Now come on, why did he do that?" or "What in the world do they want now?" Sometimes she just talks to the computer when it doesn't perform the way she wants it to, like, "What? Where did it go? I just saved it. Where did you put it?" Does she think the computer is going to say, "Oh, my bad, I accidentally saved your document here. Sorry."

Oh yeah, it doesn't get much more annoying than that. She has a really high, nasal voice too. I don't know if it is the sound of her voice or that she always seems to have a problem with somthing.

I have developed a dangerous habit of mouthing a response to her. Usually it is something to the effect of, "The computer didn't put it anywhere, you are the one who lost you damn document!!" or "Would you please shut the F#$K up!" I say this is a dangerous habit, as one day I know I am going to forget to mouth the words and I will say it out loud.

I am counting the days til they are done re-doing my office so I can move back in and SHUT MY DOOR!!! Rant over.

Oh my God. Me too. I thought I might have been the only one on the planet! It has lessened considerably over the years. It used to be bad when I was a kid.

Or when someone throws up in a movie or tv show and it totally catches you off guard. Bllleaaa!

God, I hate to throw up, as well. I would rather sit motionless for hours fighting it, as opposed to just doing it and feeling better. I'm a freak!

Hahahaha!
My old college roomate used to do that...but with a FAKE Spanish/Long Island accent. The girl discovered that her father was Cuban & although she grew up in rural NY with a British mother, she decided that she was now "a little latina"...accent & all.

strange?

I guess it’s a bit strange that irrational fears bother me….it drives me crazy that someone could be scared of for example mayonnaise, puppies/kittens, clowns.

When the hell has mayo hurled itself across the room and attacked someone?!?!

Kind of like how Madonna and Gwenyth Paltrow suddenly grew british accents.
