Let’s play.

Because it’s better than whatever else you’re doing right now.

That’s easy.

I’m a constant straightener.

You get up from the couch? I’m straightening the pillows.

You get up from the table? I’m straightening the placemats.

You leave work on the desk? I’m straightening the papers.

You turn off a lamp? I’m straightening the shade.

I straighten books on the shelves, paintings on the wall, knick knacks on the table, towels in the bathroom. If it’s there, I’m straightening it… which I can imagine, would quickly become annoying.

How about you?

What’s going to annoy your roommate …

  2. I am my wife’s roommate, and she is mine….
    But I’m a restless sleeper who crosses the line.
    Although it’s my position that she has no kick coming,
    She gets a kick out of me anyway, right in her plumbing.
    I’d buy us a bigger bed, but the room’s too small….
    Her plumbing still works, so what’s the big deal after all?

  4. The mere fact that I exist? Let’s see: I am a super organized, practical, minimalist, neat freak. It it doesn’t have a practical use/function then it doesn’t belong. A place for everything and everything in it’s place. Plus – there is NO talking for at least an hour after I get up from sleep. I could go on – basically I want things exactly the way I want them with no exceptions – which is why I lived alone for so many years. And luckily married someone pretty much just like me…

      1. I live in an apartment with empty closets…Our storage unit contains: 2 empty under-the-bed storage containers, a ladder(?), one suitcase, a shower chair, a walker, a back-up coffee pot and left over tile from the bathroom renovation.

      1. LMAO, I don’t just read books I collect them, and I’m very picky about who I allow to borrow them. I lent a leather bound, first edition of Wicked by Gregory Maguire to a neighbor in good faith, and she moved and I haven’t seen or heard from her since. That was only going to happen to me once.

  10. My roomie can never have his girlfriends over because they lose all interest in him as soon as they meet me. Now you may ask, how can this be if my roommate and I are one and the same? Simple. There can only be one. 😉

  11. I straighten everything all the time and consider it normal which means everyone else is not normal. 🙂

    My desire for solitude to write at odd times of day or night is probably what most people will find annoying. I live here too, they’d say, and where are we supposed to go? (That’s if you live in a home without a separate writing room which is what it was like for me, as you know, for the duration of parenting.)

    Anyway, keep straightening! I can’t stop and I don’t want to either. 🙂

  13. I am hard of hearing and don’t want Hearing Aids. So, I either tell you to repeat yourself or misconstrue what you said to something that rhymes.
    Example; “Shut the door.”. My response, “I’m not on the floor”.

  16. When it comes to curtains being closed, if they are not closed a certain way where one goes over the other a little when drawn to, then I am going to get up and adjust it accordingly. To make it more private with no chance of peeks from outside in.

    The other is making sure last nights pots are washed and put away. Not left to find in a morning.
