    I have a problem if the dishwasher is not loaded just so. All the forks have to be in a section to themselves, spoons, knifes, ect. and not only do they need to be seperated, but they need to be in the same direction (handle down)! And of course there's a special place for plates, glasses, bowls....
    Does this make me crazy?!?!:happy:

    This is one of my pet peeves. I hate it when the dishwasher isn't loaded correctly!!! How do they expect everything to get clean if it's all piled on top of each other?????

    Memaw you do know that steam is a liquid for all practical reasoning, and it takes the shape of its container in this case, the dishwasher, so unless the glasses are suction cupped to the bowls the steam will get in there and clean the dishes, at least get the bacteria off of them... thats the whole Idea of the device anyway... NOW getting that gooey substance thta was left over in teh pan after you made that awesome spahgetti dinner... cant help ya :wink:

    Memaw, I'm with you. I have to load everything in the dishwasher correctly. What's worse is when the babysitter loads it...I am so grateful. And as soon as she leaves, I go back and rearrange everything, even if she's already turned the thing on.

    I also hate having the blood pressure cuff on at the doctor's office, I start feeling like they will never be able to turn it off or take it off and it will just squeeze my arm off!!!!!!!!!!! I know, I know, I'm totally whacko!!!!

    I've always been afraid of being locked in a public restroom and not being able to get out. I know they lock from the inside but what if the lock/knob broke and no one could hear my screams.???????????
    I know, I'm a nutcase!

    Memaw

    ......heads to the shrink! LOL
    Man, when I was in labor, I had no anesthesia...and the blood pressure thing was driving me crazy. It was on automatic. You see those ladies on tv that want to kill hubby for doing this to them. I wanted to wring the docs neck for that danged pressure cuff.

    And I never would have remembered to mention the bathroom phobia. But that's because I got stuck in a bathroom on a plane when I was little. The "stewardess" called my mom and asked if that was her daughter screaming in the bathroom. :embarassed: Now, I cannot use any restroom that is an enclosed tiny room...stalls I'm okay with though.

    I mean really, you could sneak out the bottom if you HAD to.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    when and if i eat m&m's, i have to eat them is some kind of color order - usually browns first, then red's, blue's, yellow's, green's, then orange. sometimes the blue and yellow are flip flopped. does that make me crazy??? :noway:
    You're not crazy. I do the same thing: sort the colors in piles, then eat them. Then I'll eat one M&M color, then another, ect. Does that make me crazy?

    I kind of do that with kit kats!...(Haven't had one in a while) but I would eat the chocolate off first and then the middle of it!

    That made me laugh out loud. Probably because I do crazy things like that too.

    Occasionally, I see if I can close doors through telekinesis.

    Me too! Me too!

    One time I saw a show about people who supposedly talk to angels, and they said that in order for an angel to speak to you, all you have to do is have an open mind and say, "Angels, speak to me."

    I was in my car thinking about this, alone, and just for the heck of it, out loud I said, "Angels SPEAK to me!"

    Suddenly there was a REALLY LOUD whistling--my sunroof happened to crack open at just that moment.

    Yeah, I almost went off the road, and nearly had to have the interior of the car cleaned....:embarassed:
