Title should be self-explanatory. I'll start.
I have an intense disdain for using public restrooms. The inspiration for this thread was that I drove to my apartment to drop the kids off at the pool.

i have very little respect for anyone other than myself which means that most people dislike me.
then again, the majority of this world thrives on mediocrity, so fuck them.
see? it's a problem.
I hate people and their stupid stories that I don't give a rat's ass about. I'll fake an interest at work most of the time but it stresses me out.
I can't be around friends unless there's alcohol being consumed. Otherwise I'm incredibly bored.
I ignore my cell phone constantly.
I get No.2 stage fright too.
Also, I'm incredibly territorial. I can't stand having people at my house for very long. A couple of hours, maybe. After that, I'm trying to get them the hell out, no matter what else is going on.
Similarly, I can't be comfortable in others' houses because it's NOT my territory.

Anytime I touch a garbage can, I have to go wash my hands. I'm freaked out whenever someone moves the can and then touches their face and stuff. I only drag garbage cans back to the house when I'm coming home so I can wash my hands; otherwise I need to go back inside to do it.

True Story: Battle Asses.
Date: 2007-05-02, 1:25PM CDT
Sorry, I don't have anything to post about layoffs or politics, but I DO have another story from the Public Bathroom. Enjoy.
You are my arch nemisis. I see you wandering around as I go about my IT Computer Nerd business: Tall. Middle Eastern. Pot Belly. We catch each others eye every now and then and give each other a slight nod. I know you, I know what you do and I am on to your games.
I saw you this morning, we made eye contact. You nodded and took another bite of whatever Death-Ass producing garbage you fuel up on that makes the bathroom, smell like the inside of a dead monkey's colon, and nodded at me. I got you this time, fucker.
I give you my icey grin and nod back, then hurry back to my office. It's almost noon, and that's the time you like to run to the toilet and preform your daily ASS JIHAD on all the people just trying to wash their hands. Maybe in your country there is no commen sense that would tell you that lunch time = hand wash time. People want to get clean and eat, not be fumigated with the high octane liquid shit attack you subjigate them too.
But I got you this time. Yeah fucker I GOT SOMETHING COOKING UP FOR YOU! Two egg sandwiches with cheese. Greasy sausage patties. A couple glasses of Tang. Some leftover Chinese food. A Twix. Root Beer Soda. Some steamed brocoli I had in the fridge. A Hot Pocket with peperonni and cheese. A Chocolate Poptart. And like a cherry on top ... a McDonald's Quaterpounder with cheese.
I never eat this shit, it's all greasy and fucking nasty, but today is the day I fight back. I go out for a quick mile jog and almsot die. My stomach feels like there are two midgets fighting to the death inside there. I walk back to work, ass clenched tighter than a virgin's thighs at Church.
Great. The hot chick from next door wants to chat. She assumes the sweat on my face and arms is from running. She doesn't realize that it's a cold sweat induced by my severe sphicter trauma. She finally shuts up and I stagger to the Death Ass Arena.
You are there already in your favorite stall: The one right next to the fucking sinks. You stupid, socially retarded fuck. Fine. You have yet to begin your daily purge of Middle Eastern Ass Stew. I enter the stall next to you and drop my pants in preperation of the upcomming battle.
Your opening slavo is fired: A sloppy wet fart with a solid-shot closer. I laugh and show you the power of Advanced American Foodstuffs.
The tuba fart I unleash echos off the walls and shrinks my waistline about an inch. The guy at the urinal laughs as I slap the wall between you and I and say "Back to YOU, Kajid!". You are silent, I assume you know who I am and that the time has come for us to battle. I know you are summoning your intestinal fortitude for full out war.
You do not dissapoint me.
With a hissing "SSSShhhhhzzzzzzzzz!" you squirt out a deadly spray of ass juice that pollutes the air and makes my head swim. The pisser at the urinal is no longer laughing, he quickly zips up and runs for the door. He did not stop to wash his hands, instead opting to head for the hills. I cover my mouth and nose with my shirt and the black spots dissapear from my vision. My head clears. I am ready.
"AAaaaaaaaRRRRRGGGHHH!" I yell, as I drop Big Tim. That's short for "Big Timber" ... AKA "Mississippi Butt Log".
Quick-fire farts stutter out of my ass, as I push the monster log from the Shit Dimension into our reality. The beefy, yeasty stench easily overpowers the Indian Ass Gutter oder of your previous attack. Mega Turd hits the water in the bowl with a mighty splash, the reek is that of a dead whale slowly ripening in the hot, tropical sun. I catch my breath and wipe my brow, and start to pat myself on the back. I should have known the battle was not over.
The only thing I can think of is that you must has completly unzipped your ass to your elbow. That's the only way I could begin to explain the lumpy, creamy splashs falling out of your ass into the toilet. It sounds like you are pouring a gallon of strawberry shake with whole strawberries in it into the shitter. I see the hairs on my arms start to curl from the horrid stench wafting up from under your stall. I shudder and sway on my throne, unsure if I will survive.
I have no choice. I must employ the Deal Breaker. I hunker down and clench my hands together. My fingers twitch and entwine like a nest of snakes, almost like I am running through a series of ancient Ninja Hand Symbols. My feet lift up onto the toes and my legs start to shake.
"You want to play??" I growls. A low moaning comes from my stomach, like a dinosaur calling into a swampy, foggy night. "YOU GOT IT! AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Like Cloud summoning The Knights of the Round in Final Fantasy 7, I summon the Excalibur of Turd Demons to destroy my enemy. Hot magma-like shit rockets out of my ass, releasing a noxious, sticky cloud of deadly recal perfume. I hear you gag and see your feet shuffle around, but you can't get away, can you? No. You can't.
Veins throb on my neck and temples as the turd monster tears itself from my bowels. My lips skin back from my now clenched teeth and I try not to scream. Your roll of toilet paper rolls into my stall. You must have torn it from the wall with numb fingers in an attempt to "Wipe and Scoot". Too late. MUCH too late!
Oders pound you with merciless fists: Rotten Fruitcake stuffed with boiled chicken assholes. Hammered shit-logs served on a bed of week old white rice. Rosie O'Donnel's racid crotch farts. The smell of your mom's dank, hairy Middle Eastern armpits.
Your stall door bangs open and you stagger out. You take three unsteady steps to the door and can barely open it wide enough to slip out. I laugh at you before you leave. "Yeah! RUN, Fucker!" I yell, and laugh again. You say nothing.
It's all over except for the clean up. Fuck with me again, you shit filled Anal Terrorist. Me and my ass will be waiting.

Sounds mildly obsessive, but hell, if everyone felt that way about someone, the world would be a nicer place. Good for you.How is "being in love" ever different from some sort of obsession? Being consumed by another, so much so that your happiness seems absolutely dependent upon him cannot be anything BUT obsession.
But that sort of all-consuming "in love" feeling (in my experience) usually fades over weeks or months. What astonishes me about my marriage is even after nearly a decade together we are still like a new couple, fresh in love. We still harbor that mutual obsession between us and still have a very strong need to be in almost constant contact with each other.
Neither one of us can explain it; we both really enjoy our personal space. We both know we could NEVER be in such constant close contact with any other person without going absolutely crazy. :shrug: We don't understand it, but we couldn't imagine living any other way with each other now.

I have an extreme fear of failure. Some people don't like snakes, or fear of torture...I don't let people near my eyes, doctors even. I don't do glaucoma tests anymore because as a young adult I broke one going BA-ZERK. I'm prolly more judgemental of my children than I should be, though I struggle, because I want them to be the best they can, but in the back of my mind I know they are just kids. In a fucked up economy, I still have a desire to keep up with the Jones'. It's really stupid, yet I cannot make that feeling go away. I personally could care less what I have, it's the desire to see my kids have a better life and social standing than I did when I was a child.
I'm 27 years old, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I often try to be a self-assesser, and recognize my skills and abilities, yet...in the end, I feel like the guy from Office Space. If I had a million dollars, besides doing two chicks at once, I'd be content doing nothing. I'd love to go back to college, but a degree doesn't mean shit these days, when PhD's are applying to take 13 bucks an hour jobs. I obviously have enough business/managerial experience to delve into a business degree, but what's the point? 100k in student loans so I can apply to a job I had at 21? Fuck that.

If it weren't for the kids I would say join the Armed Services. Enlistment bonus are still insano high for people right now. It likely wont stay that way as the economy continues to tank and recruitment numbers rise, but I would say anyone looking for direction in their life and a shit-load of money if they want to pick a combat-related MOS should consider it.

Oh god, I totally know how this feels.
Also, everyone at work who is hispanic, loves to say my name for no reason, just to say it. Before I said, "What?", they would say, "Ah, I uh just like saying your name.", now I ignore it but it totally bugs the shit out of me.

That was my original path. My senior year of HS, after getting a full scholarship to VMI and needing one congressional recommendation for a way to Annapolis, I shattered my leg playing football. There is residual damage to the MCL/ACL, and just as quick as 4 years of NJROTC, a ranked national standing in individual drill and paid way in. Gone.
I anticipate arguments with people and go over them in my head to analyze where the people are coming from - even though the argument hasn't actually happened yet (and they usually end up never happening at all). I do this most often in the shower and will zone out for up to 30 minutes.
I'm not sure why I do this, considering I rarely get into arguments with anyone and don't enjoy things like debating.

Completely get you.
I always massively over-analyze situations beforehand, trying to come up with every likely scenario and going through how I'd act in each one. Most often when women are involved. Then I chicken the fuck out and nothing happens anyway.
Yeah, I do the "think about what I'd do for each scenario" thing as well.
You know. Just in case.

I'm constantly zoning out while I simulate "what-if" scenarios in my head. Potential arguments/debates too (though I do like debating with people). God knows how much time I waste lost in my mental world of over-analyzing hypotheticals. On the upside my wife refers to me as the "ultimate boyscout" because I'm usually prepared for things (largely due to this constant over-analyzing).

Hah. And I almost posted, "Dang you, Boy Scouts" in my last post.
I tune people out on the phone. I could have hours of conversation on the phone but when I hang up, I don't know WTF we talked about. People who watch me say I affirm and negate at all the right places and sometimes have some input but I get this glazed look in my eyes.
It doesn't matter who I talk to, either. If the phone call lasts a half hour or more, I'm not really there. My boyfriend and I haven't had a phone call last more than a minute in.. well.. ever, I think. "Hey. I'm out, I'll be home soon." "Okay, love you, bye." "Love you too, bye." Our average call (I tested it) lasts about sixteen seconds. He knows me so well.

I eat my Skittles by color. I eat all the greens, yellows and oranges first. Then I eat the purples, and last the reds.
I got Skittles while at the movies last, and managed to eat all of the first set by the end of the movie. I walked out with only purples and reds and I was ecstatic.
I usually set aside one of each color for the very last, then eat those last ones in the order of least-favorite to favorite, so my favorite is the last flavor I taste and it lingers.
When I used to eat Lucky Charms (cringe), I'd try to eat about 4 regular pieces for every marshmallow in an attempt to have a balanced ratio the entire time.

I have an extreme fear of failure. Some people don't like snakes, or fear of torture...I don't let people near my eyes, doctors even. I don't do glaucoma tests anymore because as a young adult I broke one going BA-ZERK. I'm prolly more judgemental of my children than I should be, though I struggle, because I want them to be the best they can, but in the back of my mind I know they are just kids. In a fucked up economy, I still have a desire to keep up with the Jones'. It's really stupid, yet I cannot make that feeling go away. I personally could care less what I have, it's the desire to see my kids have a better life and social standing than I did when I was a child.
I'm 27 years old, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I often try to be a self-assesser, and recognize my skills and abilities, yet...in the end, I feel like the guy from Office Space. If I had a million dollars, besides doing two chicks at once, I'd be content doing nothing. I'd love to go back to college, but a degree doesn't mean shit these days, when PhD's are applying to take 13 bucks an hour jobs. I obviously have enough business/managerial experience to delve into a business degree, but what's the point? 100k in student loans so I can apply to a job I had at 21? Fuck that.
I have an extreme fear of failure, yet it seems lately it's all I can get.

I do the over-analyzing thing.
I have a problem balancing - I either do something full out, balls to the wall, or I don't care enough to do it at all. Doing something cause you "have to" even if you don't want to is a concept I cannot accept.
I also idealize all my relationships before they ever happen so that when they do happen, they always fall short, and, to date, ultimately fail. I guess that goes with the over-analytical part.
I always think the best of people, then am shocked when I learn nasty shit about them. And then disregard that info because it's "rumors and gossip" until they do nasty shit to me, at which point I'm shocked again.
I'm no good at grassroots work but structural policy like stuff is overwhelmingly depressing if you look too much at the widespread, endemic problems.
I love quoting literature in everyday life to the point that people think I'm an obnoxious prick. Which might be true.

Tell me about it, it's a curse.
It sucks cause I can't do anything or make a choice about anything, without figuring and analyzing every possible outcome and pros and cons. It makes me so frustrated with myself.
Then I see people who do shit so blindly, and I'm like, "...wtf."
Seriously, this has to be the worst thing about me.

That's not a negative thing. That's an admirable thing.inorite? My Dad spent all their savings on a hobby shop (that barely breaks even). I'm thinking you win on the karma scale (at the very least).
I watch certain movies over and over and over again. I've watched the movie Clue a couple of thousand times, at least. There was a period of my teenagerhood when I watched it every night for a couple of years, give or take a few nights when I was at someone else's place or on vacation. I also watch it repeatedly when I'm at home sick.
I watch other movies repeatedly, like Radioland Murders, Terminator, Aliens, Evolution, The Whole Nine Yards, Lake Placid, Super Troopers, Resident Evil, Conan the Barbarian, The Last Unicorn, The Godfather, Sheena Queen of the Jungle, et cetera... but Clue is my most-watched and the one I have to have on when I'm sick. I have to have one of these movies on when I go to sleep, unless I'm in a strange place like a hotel. And then I have to have complete silence.
I don't know the reason for any of this, really.

I have to buy my groceries in odd numbers, or else it just bugs the crap out of me. I have no idea why.
I prefer half and half on my cereal to milk. I know it's sick and kind of unhealthy, but god damn do I love it.
My favorite way to eat a slice of cake is after it's sat out for a day and then you dump a bunch of cold milk over it, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then eat it. Again, I know it's sick and unhealthy but I love it.

I anticipate arguments with people and go over them in my head to analyze where the people are coming from - even though the argument hasn't actually happened yet (and they usually end up never happening at all). I do this most often in the shower and will zone out for up to 30 minutes.
I'm not sure why I do this, considering I rarely get into arguments with anyone and don't enjoy things like debating.
I do this shit. I'm analytical and it can be pretty intense. It's my need to be fair, logical and right. Ugh.

I noted that about a decade ago, give or take a year. I'd find that after taking a dump I'd want to shower. Lucky I'm pretty regular and need to go at a certain time so the whole shower thing is pretty easy to pull off. Though if I'm out sync due to being ill or recovering from some illness I've been known to drop by the house and take a shower.

I'm always paranoid that someone will be disappointed with me. I'm always double checking to make sure that I haven't offended someone, anticipating the possibility that my husband might be upset that I did/didn't do something.
I guess that it's a perfectionism type thing.
I have to push the cart in a store.
I also cannot stand in water that I can't see what my feet are touching, except in the ocean.
I cannot stand a bunch of shit on my table when I'm eating. If I'm in a restaurant, cracker wrappers, coffee creamers, salad dressing cups etc...after they are used have to be removed or put into a neat pile to be removed when the server returns.

lol, you'd hate eating with us then. We always have extra this and that, and this on the side, etc. Tons of extra shit on the table. When the meal is done I practically bus the table, cleaning it all into neat piles on plates and shit, but not until the end of the meal.

I repeat out loud good lines in movies or books as I watch or read, mostly without noticing it.
I tune people out on the phone. I could have hours of conversation on the phone but when I hang up, I don't know WTF we talked about.I'm the same. In fact, it's one reason I prefer texting to talking and it can get bad if they insist on bugging the heck out of me. I'll completely ignore phone calls for hours because of it, but all that does is clog my voice mail inbox so I eventually bend and zone out. This is why I could never ever be a quack. That and married women (my primary what the hell is the matter with you combined with my most potent guilty pleasure. And I'll just leave it at that.
