Abstract

he New Black or Peaky Blinders, don’t be surprised if I start feeling paranoid about things vanishing, when I have nothing left in the kitchen to eat off of.5. Why is it that when I put up a sign in the kitchen or bathroom, everyone ignores it, and it is somehow invisible? But when other people put up a sign, all of a sudden there’s massive commentary, discussion, and productive debate?6. Buy some darned toilet paper. The toilet paper aisle in the grocery store is not cordoned off for exclusive use of 60-year-old grandmothers.7. Ditto that for any other reusable paper goods. Unless you are trying to save the environment. I am all for that. But I did notice that there seems to be a we-live-in-communist-Russia-and-better-get-in-this-line-for-I-don’t-know-what rush to the tissue boxes when I buy them, so I was kind of ruling out the environmental issue in this house.8. Food scraps that you dropped, after I saw you watch it float like snowflakes to the ground, and you saw me watch you watch it — while it was entertaining, in the same way that the first fresh snow falls in winter — the follow on activity of walking over the snow and crushing it is not as entertaining to me.9. When the garbage bag is full, continuing to place more garbage in the can until the trash starts to fall out over the top will not magically stretch the bag in the can or the size of the can, no matter what the actual garbage bag packaging says about “stretches and resists tears”.10. Kitchen counters are reserved for food preparation and consumption of the food products and are not your personal storage shelves for toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, razors, shaving creams, or anything else that belongs in the bathroom.<figure id="6c89"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*[email protected]"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>PUT IT WHERE IT BELONGS!Thanks to <a href="undefined">Robin Klammer</a> for this prompt.<div id="345a" class="link-block"> <a href="https://readmedium.com/weve-all-got-quirks-8fbde252c815"> <div> <div> <h2>We’ve All Got Quirks!</h2>

Mildly Humorous Essay

I’ve Got Quirks

A Tea Party Response

The Sign that sits on my window sill right over the kitchen sink. In case there was any doubt.

Yes, I do — like “You’ve Got Mail” with all the dinging and beeping going on in my head. Full of quirks, and pet peeves, and sheesh, how do people put up with me anyway? I think I inherited the OCD24 gene from a long line of women who also had it. I don’t think that genetic scientists have a line on this gene yet, but trust me. It’s there.

I did stop myself at 10. I don’t want to overwhelm y’all.

Maybe these aren’t quirks so much as behavioral anomalies. But all the people who live in my house look at me like I’m a dotty old lady with quirks. I like to think I just got good training. Until they can find the scientific proof that I have that gene.

Photo by Susan B. , Yes, I made that sign. They mostly ignore it.

Flatware. Please don’t throw the pieces wherever you like. My brain will explode if I see spoons and forks co-mingling. That’s how we got sporks, don’t you know.
If you wash dishes, it’s okay to air dry them in the dish rack. But putting dishes away is generally advisable. Because playing Jenga with my dishes when there are no dishes left in the cabinets when it’s time to eat is just not fun for me. Even if it’s your favorite game.

3. I appreciate you wiping down all the puddles of water after you wash dishes. But towels were born to be folded. And hung or placed neatly. Somewhere. Anywhere.

4. If you squirrel away my dishes in your bedroom because you are binge-watching Orange Is The New Black or Peaky Blinders, don’t be surprised if I start feeling paranoid about things vanishing, when I have nothing left in the kitchen to eat off of.

5. Why is it that when I put up a sign in the kitchen or bathroom, everyone ignores it, and it is somehow invisible? But when other people put up a sign, all of a sudden there’s massive commentary, discussion, and productive debate?

6. Buy some darned toilet paper. The toilet paper aisle in the grocery store is not cordoned off for exclusive use of 60-year-old grandmothers.

7. Ditto that for any other reusable paper goods. Unless you are trying to save the environment. I am all for that. But I did notice that there seems to be a we-live-in-communist-Russia-and-better-get-in-this-line-for-I-don’t-know-what rush to the tissue boxes when I buy them, so I was kind of ruling out the environmental issue in this house.

8. Food scraps that you dropped, after I saw you watch it float like snowflakes to the ground, and you saw me watch you watch it — while it was entertaining, in the same way that the first fresh snow falls in winter — the follow on activity of walking over the snow and crushing it is not as entertaining to me.

9. When the garbage bag is full, continuing to place more garbage in the can until the trash starts to fall out over the top will not magically stretch the bag in the can or the size of the can, no matter what the actual garbage bag packaging says about “stretches and resists tears”.

10. Kitchen counters are reserved for food preparation and consumption of the food products and are not your personal storage shelves for toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, razors, shaving creams, or anything else that belongs in the bathroom.
