What are your phobias, hangups or quirks?

[Doyle]

Forgot about people being late.

 

I will ask my girl when she will be ready....a few minutes....which means 3.  She gets mad when I ask again in 3 minutes.

 

Tell me exactly how long you will be.  No matter if it's arriving somewhere, getting ready, going shopping, whatever.  Make a time and stick to it.

 

If I'm meeting someone somewhere and they show up 15-30 minutes late and act like nothing happened it completely ruins whatever we were meeting up to do.

My biggest fear is being stuck in a cave, trapped in a tight space that I can't pull free from, dying alone as my breath gets shorter and shorter as I try and pull more air into my lungs, with about 30,000 tons of solid rock all around me. I read a book where the main character had to go through a mountain to get to his objective, and had to squeeze through this tight space and thought he was trapped. Yeah, gave the me heebie-jeebies so bad I had to wait a week to finish reading it.

 

 

I absolutely HATE idiots who leave shopping carts in the parking lot at grocery stores / Walmart, etc, then try to justify their laziness by stating that they are keeping the workers employed. No, dumbass, your shopping there and spending money keeps them employed. Your leaving poo in the grass just makes their jobs harder cause you can't walk your fat ass the five feet to put it away properly. Usually, these are the same jack-offs who talk down to the cashiers while using their hard-earned EBT cards too, after riding around in the motorized carts with the fat rolls spilling all over the sides of the seat.

 

 

I also have the back to a wall quirk, but I recognize it for what it is - trust issues. I don't like not having my eyes on everyone and everything around me at all times.

Spiders and centipedes ( or whatever that thing was with a bunch of legs that I saw in the bathroom)

 

Ledges/railings. I once got stuck in an attic having a panic attack because I was scared to come down.

 

Needles is a new phobia I've developed this year. The past 3 times I've been in the hospital, they've had problems getting a vein for an iv and/or blood. I end up black and blue, and it hurts, too. The last time I was in, they needed blood from a deep vein in my wrist for a test, and the nurse hit a nerve. I'm going to have to be mostly dead before I go back.

 

When I eat turkey, I have to eat the turkey, dressing, and cranberries all together. If I run out of dressing, I'll get more to finish the turkey. I didn't realize I was doing it until one year my bil noticed and said something.

When I was in Europe (Belgium), the "Food Lion" over there had it where you had to put a coin in a machine to receive a cart.  If you return the cart you receive your coin back.  Thought that'd be a great idea here.  I think Aldi or some other stores do that here in NC, but I wish it was done everywhere.  Falls back to the inconsiderate jackholes our culture breeds.

I can not go outside during a thunderstom because of lightning. Twice it has hit within a foot of where I was standing, knocking me down both times and clear out the first time. If I am in the car and I need to go inside somewhere I'll wait until the storm passes.

Lets see....

 

The sound a knife makes scraping against a plate when cutting. 

Neighbors who don't clean up their dogs poo.

People who smack their lips eating.

People who make mouth noises while eating.

Just in general sitting next to someone eating at times.

People who tap their pen on their desk, notebook, laptop, teeth etc.

Pick & flickers or pick & eaters (just blow your nose man).

People who can't make a fuging decision. 

People who play an instrument out of tune.

People who park in handicap spots without a tag, sticker etc.

 

That's all I can think of right now, I'm sure there's more.

Pick & flickers or pick & eaters?

You, sir, are a genius.

a big one i forgot is someone saying something inaccurate or just false.

 

i have went up to complete strangers and corrected them on something factual. now i have gotten better and i know how to let things go but here is an example.

 

i was picking up my sis in law at the airport and while walking thru the airport i hear David Bowie song playing. a family walks out of a restaraunt and just as i pass by i hear the teen son ask his dad if that was Paul McCartney song playing. so....i begin...to walk..sl...o...wer. in my head i kept saying don't say yes don't say yes and sure enough. the dad goes oh yeah thats Paul and I immediately turned around and yelled, THATS DAVID BOWIE. they all turn around and I point in the air(the international sign of music playing thru speakers) and I go that song, that's a David Bowie song. its called Golden Years. It came out in 1975. the whole family gave me this baffled look and looked at each other and walked away. lol

 

i don't care where i am or who it is. if you say something that i know for certain is incorrect i will tell you im not a jerk about it but i say it as if im some kind of guardian of information for earthlings.

Neighborhood buttwads who put their dogs on the end of a rope and walk them to my lawn to take a dump.

I'm 6'1" 196 and used to guide rafts internationally, while in Australia one of the rivers I was on was at high water, I ran the raft a little close to a tree and was hit a spider web that had at least 2 decent sized spider in it, I freaked out so bad I jumped out of the raft mid rapid....

I like when "Under Pressure" plays and people freak out that Vanilla Ice is on.

...almost as much as the time I heard someone complain that Michael Jackson ripped off Alien Ant Farm
