Hear me out! Everyone has SOMETHING they’re high maintenance about. You can be the most laidback mofo in the history of ever but something gets you in a twist. What’s your thing?

I don’t want a loose hair anywhere near me. I have longish hair so it drives me nuts when I realize I’ve had a misc hair hanging off my shoulder blade all day, totally wrecking my cute messy ponytail2

I'm very laid back, BUT, I know how many glasses and pieces of silverware there ought to be in the cupboards and drawer, and if any are missing I have to find out where they are and account for them all.3

I only (really) like drinking wine out of thin glass glasses. I actually don't love thick glasses or mugs either.2

I try to live intentionally minimal but I hate the fact that my family just won’t get on board. So in turn I’ve created exact places for everything so I can attempt to keep some order and sanity.5

I camp a lot, I do things that are dirty a lot, and I sorta pride myself on being able to "go without" things when necessary
...but my whole day topples if I can't brush my teeth first-thing in the morning3 -
Also only the best toilette paper and really I’m not all that pleased with it.1

When I go to a restaurant... I'm not going to sit there, or there, or there.
Yeah, I want to sit there... facing that way.
I don't want to sit near a restroom, or looking into the kitchen, or by a toddler or by a drunk college kid.
first world problem, amiright?7 -
White towels please...if I have to use a coloured one, I'm counting down 'till I can shower again, and use a white towel.3

Coffee.
I know when you've burned your beans (Starbucks) I know when you've misground the bean for the type of espresso you're pulling (DutchBrothers). I know when you've got an improper water to grounds ratio (Dunkin) and I HATE it when you add junk to it that shouldn't be in coffee. (ALL OF YOU)
But just to be clear, crappy coffee is better than no coffee so I'll still drink all of it. BUT I'M JUDGING YOU IN MY HEAD.11 -

This was my dad. I'm not much of a coffee drinker now, but growing up with him, he taught me how to make it right. I think you and my dad would have gotten along quite well, at least when discussing coffee.1 -

All of this, yes.1 -
Dear Panera, I don't understand why your standard of preperation is to just lob the components of a sandwhich onto bread. Please unfold the sliced meats, drain the lettuce, spread the condiments evenly across the bread instead of a splat in the middle. Come on... you know you wouldn't make your own sandwhich that way. Take some pride in what you do.
I do not have an appreciation for having to remake my foods into a presentable food item.

You do not want to go to a restaurant with me. I'm "that guy" who always orders off the menu3

Also anything that is "can make it work" or "it will work until you find something better" ... I don't want it. It's either exactly what I need or want, or bust.3

Give me some water, throw me a pizza crust...I’m good. But don’t you EVER eat loud while I’m watching a movie.5

If they keep doing it they see another side to me. Not a nasty side but I will shut them out while still being cordial because I don't see why I should let someone else make me lose the plot either or get involved in a dialogue that I don't want to waste energy on. I should add that I very much respect other people's personal space, time etc so I don't want it done to me.
Other high maintenance side, if someone pokes or prods me, I will scream. I am mainly talking about my bf who thinks it's funny to 'set me off' by either hair pulling or a quick poke. Not sexual. Just extremely annoying.
It's as if you posted my exact thoughts about this. 100% agree.2 -

i have! I have to stop waiting for prince charming to ride up on his porcelain steed and save me from unsatisfactory cleanliness. I will be the hero of my own bathroom.2 -

You can get them on Amazon. They're apparently pretty easy to hook up. My friend got one and said it's awesome but I figure it's only like 30 more steps to get to the kitchen so why do we need a water fountain in the bathroom?

yes, but those are cold water attachments. I want a full fledged separate butt sink with hot and cold running water.
A peri bottle works. Women who have given birth and the men who paid attention know what that is.4 -

Dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg way to call out the guys on that one!2 -
Table manners are so important and I simply cannot abide clutter.
If you talk with your mouth full and don't tidy away your things when you come in then you may as well just head right back out the door from whence you came.4 -
I am high maintenance when it comes to toilet paper. I will bring my own (I keep the wet wipe TP in my purse) because I hate using certain kinds or really cheap stuff.

I'm high maintenance with cleanliness. I'm a neat freak and I have no shame to admit it. Watching my kids eat and seeing crumbs fall everywhere irritates me. I don't like anyone touching the mirrors, I can't stand dirty floors, dishes, leaving coats on chairs or clothes on the floor. Maybe I'm a little OCD but my kids have gotten pretty good at picking up after themselves.4

Since this is apparently my area of concern
Those flushable wipes should not be flushed.
My septic system is as high maintenance as I am. I have signs in both bathrooms warning guests they will have their toity privileges revoked for flushing bad things. 😂2
