I cannot, will not, walk barefoot outside; grass, dirt, concrete- whatever

I clean the shower and bathroom sink after almost every use

- I can't stand to see hair, even my own, on any surface in the bathroom (or excess water)

I don't like other ppls feet touching me, even if I love the person

strangers touching me on the train, even accidental, are lucky to walk away alive.......

I also (like somebody posted earlier) hold my breath or walk away if a stranger coughs near me.. or if they are walking towards me, cough, 'cause then I know I'm gonna be in their germ stream

I love, love, love the kids in my family and all of my friends' families - but strangers' kids drive me frakking insane (unless they're in the news for doing something terrific)

those socks with built-in toes are just wrong

flip flops/thong sandals are just wrong (this is not dumb or illogical, but needs repeating at every opportunity)

there's probably more.. I'll have to think..

i hate having shelves or anything installed above my bed, it just makes me uncomfortable.

also those ceiling TVs at hospitals, i refuse to sit under them.

So far this is closest to an issue I might have.

I didn't know someone else dragging their teeth on a fork could make a person mad.

oh! the biggest one I probably forgot b/c I haven't done it in so long...

I ain't goin' swimming at the beach

a) I don't get in water that's deeper than I am tall (just shy of 5'-2" ) 'cause I will panic and drown

b) the ocean is FULL of fish pee and poop

I also can't stand when people whistle. Not like a cat call on the street, but on the bus or the subway, when they're whistling some random tune to themselves. I hate it; and it becomes all I can focus on. Humming is bad, too, but I hate whistling worse.

Is it because they are whistling solo? How are you with whistling within songs? http://www.youtube.com/wa...G0#t=2m21s

I've got more, but I'll stop there for now.

The first 3 food spoil ones sound normal to me. The last one... who cares if all the windows are cracked open the same amount. Hell, why not crack open one and call'er good. If your vehicle gets caught in the rain while it is parked, at least it will only drip in one window. How easy are you making it for thieves to reach in?

I always eat blue M&Ms first because I hate blue M&Ms. They never should have been added to the pack. They just look totally wrong.

Do you tell them to their smug little blue faces or do you let them think they're going first because they're "special" then tell everyone else the truth?

Cuz that would really be the best way to stick it to them.

Depends how new the car is. With mine, if someone reaches in a window and unlocks the door, the alarm goes off.

I know because I did that once by accident.

Well, that's the point of this thread ! It's my "dumb or illogical issue." I don't crack them enough for someone to reach in (usually just an inch or so).

One of my dumb issues is that I get really annoyed when bottles or cans of things are almost but not quite empty. Like when the shampoo bottle or shaving cream can is getting low and I'm ready to switch to a new one (with a new scent) but I can't bring myself to just throw out the old one because it would be wasteful.

I'm currently doing battle with a bottle of Old Spice Body Wash that seems to be replenishing itself while I'm not home.

I have a bad habit of not finishing the end of things -- like jars of sauces, shampoos, even boxees of crackers, etc. I don't know why.

I also can't stand when people whistle. Not like a cat call on the street, but on the bus or the subway, when they're whistling some random tune to themselves. I hate it; and it becomes all I can focus on. Humming is bad, too, but I hate whistling worse.

Oh, geez. We are one in the same! My daddy used to to that. We would be in a store and as soon as we got to the checkout line, he'd start whistling. It wouldn't be a tune you could recognize either. It was just simple continuous whistling. I had to tell him to stop and he'd look at me startled because he didn't realize he was doing it. Funny thing is his brouther, my uncle would do the same shit! I asked him to stop and he got red in the face, but didn't say a word. I think he was pissed. And then my mother has this habit of humming; again, no tune you'd recognize, just simple ass random hmm, hmmm, huh, hmmm hmmm. MAAAA!!! Maybe it has something to do with being born in the southern US states...

My second crazy hang-up is litter. I can't stand to see litter in my neighborhood. I have been known to go around with my wheelbarrow and claws and pick up every single bit of paper, glass, bottle caps, cigarette butts, whatever. I know folk probably think I'm nuts, but I just can't stand to see that shit. Pitiful thing is, the next day the place is littered again with cups, wrappers, etc. The most disgusting things I see are used condoms. Nasty muhfuggahs.

Most of the other issues had a consequence or fake reason why it was a problem.

Okay, my consequence is that my OCD would act up if all windows weren't cracked the same amount. My fake reason is that one side of the car may get hotter than the other, thereby blowing out just that one window. Having them all cracked lets the heat escape uniformly.

People who take other peoples food out of the microwave the second it goes off so they can shove theirs in. First, don't touch my food! Second, how do you know it's done? Third, I said don't touch my food!!!

After reading all these dumb issues

-bare feet, and all kinds of imaginable footwear issues that go far beyond the category of "fashion"

-greasy hair

-taking a number 2 on a public toilet

I realize these are the reasons I can't enjoy camping or even an outdoor music festival for a few days.

Oops, you found my issue.

Ever had a stranger take your wet clothes out of a laundromat washer?

People who put their food in the microwave, then walk off and leave the room FOREVER, leaving us to wait on their asses to come back and get their food outta the microwave.

SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR IT TO FINISH COOKIN AND GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY!!

Not sayin YOU do that, but your comment made me think of that.

Worrying about what might have been said before an edit is another issue you have.

I said the same thing, just wrote :confused: instead and the emoticon won't work with a "d" at the end.

Imma edit this post too just to make you crazy.

On the first day of school, I let the kids know there is no whistling, tapping, or that "awful ghetto popping of gum".

I cannot stand those sounds, and will NOT work 180 days with them going on in my room.

So it was really just my teachers' dumb and illogical issue all along!

Cinnie said:

Now this is somewhat like leaving your food in the microwave for too long except for the fact microwaves were designed to heat food in a minute or two, whereas washers take anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes to wash, and it always varies. (Meaning, you better wait a few minutes give or take for that person to return to their machine).

Most of the time I have returned to the machine with time to spare/wait before the water has spun out.

Good thing because I am when I see someone I don't know has handled my clothing and moved it.
