A Quirk That Ticks Off Your Mate

My wife gets upset with me when I have three mediums going at the same time. I have my television on, my computer and my radio. On television I'm viewing a news program, on the computer I'm on a political website, and on the radio I have a talk show. My wife tells me how I can concentrate on three things at the same time. It's not a problem. I have tried to get her to get into it with me, but she is not into politics.

 

I ask too many questions. I am neurotic in needing to know everything about everything. lol When it comes to people, that can get me into trouble. I am simply curious, wanting to understand and since most people love talking about themselves, it works great. But since my honey has to talk with me everyday, he gets pooped answering questions lol.

 

I'm accident prone. My best friend in grammar school used to say they could tie me up in a padded cell & I'd find a way to get a paper cut. And it's like, accident prone in the most excessively embarrassing way. Like when he & his mom were waiting in the car, and I tripped over my own feet walking towards them and ripped my pants from ankle to thigh.

Over the years, I've gotten it under control for the most part, but the fact that I can control it -- just by paying attention to what I'm doing -- drives my husband even more nuts when I don't. Because if I stop to think for a moment, we don't find ourselves running through mirrors, AV cables, dvd players, glasses, dishes, jeans and bandaids like they were water. Which makes when I *do* find myself distracted and causing massive destruction, all the more annoying to him.

 

LOL Chi! I'm the same way. My Mom used to tell people I didn't walk, I ricocheted. It's a trait that apparently annoys a lot of people, and if I actually paid attention to where I was going it wouldn't happen. I don't typically cause property damage though, it's always bodily harm. I'm pretty much sporting some black and blue on my body somewhere at all times. People always ask 'how'd you get that big bruise', and I just shrug since about half the time I have no idea.

 

I get too quiet. I like not talking sometimes. Just going for a walk and not saying a word or listening to people in a conversation instead of participating etc. I like to think about stuff. Sometimes I'm planning my next story, enjoying learning from others or something else, but my husband doesn't understand that. He thinks that if I'm quiet, there's something wrong. LOL
I talk a LOT, sometimes I don't shut up, but I have these times where I love to and need to just be quiet. I have so much going on in my head, I think I just need time to get it all in order occasionally. LOL

 

When I like something I will buy more than one of it.

Like I have this Nike workout tank in evey color they ever made it in. Or I have a linen closet full of lotions and shampoos that I liked so I go back and buy a few more. I swear I am not a hoarder and I only have enough extras to fill one linen closet. :smt081 Do not send me the link to the AE show The Hoarders.........all of my friends who have seen my closet have already done so.........those people on that show are sick. I had a normal childhood and was not deprived of one thing so I am not hoarding......much.
