Ten Things

that I do that ticks me off...... (in no particular order)

1) Kick my shoes off as soon as I walk in the house and LEAVE them there!!

2) Wait to do laundry until I'm out of underwear - and that equals to about 1x a month. (don't worry, I have more than enough clothes)

3) Procrastinate on emptying the dishwasher - instead just use the clean dishes directly, rather than putting them away.

4) Have such a hard time asking for help.

5) Wait till the damn tank is on "E" before I stop to get gas

6) Work so much

7) Am so "handy man" challenged. I have trouble fixing anything.

8) Am so overly sentimental

9) Have such expensive tastes

10) Sit at the computer at 3:00am making up stupid lists like this.

That's it....I'm gonna try and get back to sleep.

Some of them strike me as "efficiency-oriented".

Seriously, why put the dishes away, if you're just going to pull them out & use them anyway. The dishwasher keeps the dust off just as well as the cabinets.

As for the "tank on E"... starting a car uses a lot of fuel & is hard on the engine. Fewer stops at the gas station saves time, gas, and automotive wear & tear.

Me, I stopped towel-drying dishes YEARS ago, once I realized that they air dry just fine if you leave them in the dish rack (I've never owned a dishwasher)

And yes, I usually pull the dishes off the rack instead of getting new ones out of the drawer :-)

And by the way, thanks for giving me an excuse to imagine you without underwear ;-)

And Thank YOU for validating my faults. :)

Harvey made lemonade outta SOME of those lemons.

By the way, you may find out you are not part of a tiny minority here. I'm guilty of all but 2 of those you mentioned.

Handyman - I can use the tools just fine. My problem is finishing what I start.
Laundry - my "houseboy" does that =).

I am convinced that #5 is the product of a sex-linked gene.
