    Default Step Up Your Game, Abbey

    Let's see what your obsessive-compulsiveness has on THIS:

    All this mask talk got me thinking about how I go about things, as usual. I've mentioned more than a few times I don't go anywhere but the convenience store. Takes about 3-5 minutes inside max. A "for-real shopping trip" for is the Dollar General. Maybe 10 minutes inside

    For all that, my button is still stuck on jarhead. I will not wear PT gear to the store. Shirts have to have sleeves. At least sandals (no flip flops). Clothes have to be color-coordinated, to include ball cap. Won't go without a shave within the last 24 hours.

    And now? The bandana has to go with the rest Which of course means nobody knows if I've shaved or not. And I'm not seeing anyone but the clerks.

    This is to get a couple packs of smokes and/or sodas and chips. I think I have issues

    Yes! Lol, I’m totally obsessed with that. And I rearrange whatever’s on the table as soon as we sit down.

    Just at restaurants or at friends houses too?

    I stack dirty dishes at restaurant if waiter doesn't return soon enough. Is that not something everyone does?

    Ha, no, not at a friend’s house. Though when we visit my BIL in NH, I will do it a little. But he’s divorced and wouldn’t care anyway. It’s the women you have to be sure not to offend.

    My daughter used to be a server, and told me they don’t like when diners stack the dishes. So now I just do it a little.

    I hate dishes in front of me, at home or out. I cannot stop getting them out of my way.

    I don't even like them in the sink. I do them about 3 times a day. Doesn't bother me although it does take some time, but dishes are not the daughter's priority so she will let them pile up. At which point I start getting antsy.

    I learned ot quit pointing them out or bitching and just do them.

    Trainwrecking the dishes and cooking utensils in the cabinet is another that will annoy the crap out of me. Take 2 extra seconds and put them in the right place.

    I know I'll keep up my dish moving. I'll also keep tipping 20% or better, so they like me again.

    Weird. This looks like a girl thing. I hope the fact I am the same way with stacking my weights and organizing my tools lets me keep my Man Card
