When in an area there are two light switches at either end of a hallway. BOTH MUST be in the same position or I have to flip one.

I want them to be in the correct positions. I don't like having to flick the switch down to turn the light ON.

I hate it when you go to see a video clip on the web and have to put up with a commercial first. And pop-ups annoy me too. Even with my pop-up blockers some still manage to get through. :hammer:

It is the bane of my very existence that I have that issue not only in my hall, but my "dining room"  which is really part of my kitchen.  I HATE it when people come over to my house and eff up my switches.   :banghead:

At work there are three switches for one set of lights, but I normally only use the one nearest my area. I'm the first one there on the days I work, and I have to make sure the switch I use is in the correct position.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has the same issue.  Usually I am getting teased about being OCD.  Which I am not.

Wow. All this talk about the position of light switches...gotta be OCD...no other way to explain that.

'Course I ain't OCD at all. Just because I have to have my pencils lined up exactly right in my top desk drawer, that doesn't mean I'm OCD. Those pencils fight amongst each other for position rights, so I gotta maintain control.   :nunchuck:

And don't even dare to help me out putting dishes in my dishwasher for me.  You will do it all wrong, and they won't get clean.  The only way they get clean is if I put them in correctly.  Just sayin.

Damn, I've got a headache.  :thatsright:

Mrs. E's big one is when a picture or a wall hanging is slightly crooked. Drives her nuts until it's fixed.  :lmao:

One of my peeves is when some yahoo, usually someone who doesn't know one end of his instrument from another, comes wandering into a rehearsal late. That person invariably interrupts what's going on until he/she gets "situated". I'd like to situate my hand upside his head.

I can't hang a picture straight to save my soul, and no matter what, I leave streaks on the glass when I clean mirrors.  Drives the BF nuts so he has to "fix" it when he comes over.   :-)


And Thor?  Eupher? 

Hiya POT!  This is kettle.  How YOU doing today????

Use less cleaner.  I used to over-spray and spent more time cleaning up the extra cleaner than I did cleaning the glass.

You guys and your cleaning fetishes. I mean, gosh and golly gee.

I take my towel after my shower and wipe the mirror - it does a good job knocking the bits I've flossed out of my teeth off the mirror at the same time. No bits, no streaks.

You got me, Godot. I have no freakin' idea what you're talkin' about.  :lmao: You made a reference to Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) and whether CC has its own version of that. I don't know that that has anything to do with electrical durrent [sic].

Or was I shocked and not know it?  :huh?:
