Oops, you found my issue.

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

I had to stop using the laundry facilities in my old building because of that! The thought of someone's grimy hands all over my clean wet clothes?! I would have to rewash them!

That's why you can't even 'em up! I get over this issue by immediately storing them as separate slices (enduring their varying portion size), or by eating the pizza until connected slices of relatively uniform slice size remain.

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.

I walk away but I'm within earshot so I hear when it beeps. And in the 4 seconds it takes me to walk back some heifer had already yanked my food out.

Here is another problem:

The dryers ALWAYS run about ten minutes longer than the washers, so if you are doing consecutive laundry loads, you WILL be waiting for a dryer while wet clothes are in limbo.

Now the last time I went to do two loads of laundry - using two washers, two dryers - There was a dryer that had one minute left of someone else's clothes when I started.

What happened when I came back down right before my laundry was done washing? That dryer FULL of dry stranger clothes still sitting there, and one dryer empty.

So what did I do? I started drying one load, but I couldn't leave my wet clothes in the washer waiting for that dryer to be emptied, or someone might get cute and throw them on top of the dryer. And I swore I would not be caught dead moving the stranger's stuff out of the dryer out of impatience.

So I washed my clothes a second time, while one dryer had my stuff and the other had the strangers.

When it was time to empty my dryer, my re-washed clothes went directly in it, and the other dryer stayed full of strangewear.

Yes the dryer still had strangewear in it when I was done laundry.

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.

Yes!

I HATE THAT! Take your shit with you!

I live around the corner from a bus stop. I get so pissed when I see all the nasty crap they just leave out in front of my neighbor's yard!

I just came from the mall:

• people who get on the step DIRECTLY behind me on the escalator, even when there's no one else on it. MOVE THE HELL BACK!
• kiosk workers: don't say shit to me, and we're good.
• I cannot buy a pair of shoes that have been tried on! They have to have the cardboard and all that crap still factory-sealed. (Yesterday I picked up a pair that had the toe print of the last person who tried them. )

I agree...

Except I'd be pretty pissed if you only left a little bit of the juice in the carton. Remember Della Reese in "Harlem Nights"?

"THAS JEZ DUMB, BENNIE! LEAVIN JES A SWALLA IN THE CONTAYNA!" Love it!

Sharing food. If you're not my wife or my kids, do not drink out of my bottle or eat from my plate. That ruins it for me.

Also, do not ask to use my comb or nail clippers. You can keep them afterwards.

And I get so grossed out watching the kids at school sharing drinks, food, lip gloss, combs/picks, shoes...

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.

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

make that: pee, poop and oil

I swear I'm walking away from the computer after this...

I cannot wear an outfit unless the shoes match. And not just match, but are the right style for the outfit. I mean really. I will not wear the outfit until I find the right shoes...

Can't leave the house. I have gone BACK in the house and changed either the clothes or shoes because I got out in the daylight and the shoes weren't right.

I cannot do it.

So many feet issues!!

DOES ANYONE GO CAMPING??? That's a real question

It drives me bonkers when someone staples or clips a bunch of papers together when they're all messy and not lined up neatly.

You know what freaks me out about bus stops? Maybe it freaks me out more cos I'm a vegan, but I always notice that (at least around here) there'll be empty fried chicken boxes, and inside the bus stop, there'll be little piles of bones on the floor. It's disgusting.

And without stereotyping, it's ALWAYS the teenage black kids who are responsible for this.

Well, kind of.

Years ago, when I moved into my apartment and didn´t have a washing machine yet, I washed my stuff in the laundromat.

Now one day, after a girl had vomitted tons of spinach pizza on my bed, I washed my sheets and put them in the dryer. Unfortunately, it was VERY difficult to get rid of all the spinach pieces...so they were still in there, just dried, looking like some good old marijuana.

Then, this tall, skinhead type, super aggressive looking nazi guy came in, walked straight to the dryer, and started picking up all the dried spinach and started sniffing it to see whether the weed was some strong shit.

I really tried my best not to laugh at him. Dude looked like a pro wrestler.
