Strange Phobias or Personal Peeves

[MuthaWit]

Hola, All!

I've had so many conversation over the last year about my disdain for grits that I am seriously thinking about doing something to get over it. I swear to you if I see them I feel myself getting, well, not quite ill but mildly agitated. LOL It's pretty old news to those who know me. It's not so much that I don't like corn products cause I LOVE corn on the cob and kernel corn. I do believe it a texture thing to some degree. I can only think of two other things that drive me as crazy as grits 1)wet tissue or wet paper left out in the open. If it's left in a public water fountain I am instantly turned off. I hate walking in NY when it rains because the litter just turns into one of my worst nightmares. One of my dear friends from the past had a horrible habit of leaving napkin/tissue balls laying around that made me want to jump out of a window LOL and probably the craziest is 2)If folks are drinking out of a cup and lick the rim of it before they drink from it again I want to pummel them. LOL You'd be surprised how many people have this habit. When I see it I immediately put my fingers in my ears (as if not being able to hear it will stop me from seeing it).

Yes, I am nuts but you gotta admit it's funny! LOL

LOL @ people licking the rim of their cup.
Eew (no offense to those reading who have the habit but...).
Wow. I cram to understand.
The wet paper thing is also gross.


The following can fondle my trigger on a good day:

1- Loud, unnecessary noises/arguments, etc (disrupts my spirit and pisses me off like nothing else can).

2- Straight up Liars who will continue to bold-faced lie well after they've been caught (I get Daddy flashbacks *_^ )

3- Rude people who've never been taught manners or refuse to use them if they have.

4- Lack of diversity in anime and other mass media (Thx Q for the reminder).

5- Controlling people (Again... Daddy flashbacks).

6- LOL@ Q who says: "Anything 'unnecessary' annoys you." I am still laughing.
He's right though.

7- When I burn cookies (How can I make slammin cakes and fail with cookies? I cram to understand).

8- Insecure people who intentionally stir drama for giggles (It's imp-like and annoying).

Last but not least:
9- "The 'Look' at me show" at the local bus stop, where loud accounts of personal prowess
blasted at you from people who need you to know all about them, whether you're a stranger or not,
comes in all shapes and sizes.

I haven't been to this discussion in a minute

but

You want to know what really bites my buttocks?

I HATE when musicians/bands write me on Myspace and ask me to add them, listen to their music and comment...when it's clear they haven't taken a second to listen to my music. My spidey sense tells me I'm not going to like the music anyway so I do an Otto on their posterior region!

I HATE that I am having to submit paperwork to Myspace because some film/video company based in INDIA has claimed ownership of one of my songs. The Myspace filter is the culprit most likely but it's still sucks.

Now I am going to go talk about something that I love so that I can maintain balance in my life. lol

1. Cat box odor. I won’t go to your house if you have it and eat. Sorry.
2. People who want to beat me over the head about weed
3. “Skid marks”
4. Grown people who lie
5. Overweight men who insist on dimes
6. Whistling in the dark. Just, don’t.
7. Mush mouth southern accents. I can’t and won’t stand them. Not socially.
8. Tech-addiction. Can’t handle people who have it.

Sneezing rats

Sidewalk grates (long story)

Dogs with hemorrhoids

Fighting homeless dudes who did not bathe (take a shower and come back, fool!)

Suits (I wore one to a funeral this year, that’s about it…)

Whiney, high-maintenance women

Whiney, high-maintenance men

Drivers who make u-turns in an intersection (East Flatbush…holla…)

Dark-brown clothing (on me…)

Cheese on seafood (unless it’s a tuna melt, I’m not feelin’ it…)

Anyone who yells at me (unless it’s a life and death situation, don’t do it…)

People who ask me within two minutes of meeting me what I do for a living

Self-titled “Divas” (If you had to give yourself that title, it means you didn’t earn it…)

So-called “punkers” from Connecticut who wear $500 Stephen Sprouse belts and who get chauffeured to shows by their Parents (just be who you are and it’s fine…)

Homophobia (you have to wonder about people who write off an entire group of other people they never spoke with…)

This one is not a phobia and I don’t get peeved about it, but I limit my time around people who do not like the fact that I am in a good mood day and night…

Song currently stuck in my head: “journey to the light” - brainstorm
