1. I wish someone would ... invent an app or something that would let me know when the washers in the laundry room are free. I hate hauling my detergent and dirty clothes all the way down to the basement, just to see that someone beat me to it.
2. When I order Chinese food ... I tell them not to include chopsticks. I don't know how to use chopsticks.
3. I know it's not everyone's favorite activity, but I actually enjoy ... doing the dishes. I don't have a dishwasher, so it takes a moment. But there's something nice about a chore that isn't complicated and has a beginning and a middle and an end.
5. A major pet peeve of mine is ... neighbors who waylay me. I'm on the condo board, and I hate it when another unit owner traps me when I'm on the elevator or taking the trash out. Invariably what they ask me about is an issue for the management company and I can't answer them anyway. ("When is the landscaper coming?" "I'm sorry I don't know. Have you called the management company?") It's worse when they knock on the door. I'm not on duty 24/7, you know.
6. I remember when my grandfather ... This isn't anything specific, but a vibe. My grandpa always made me feel like seeing me was the highlight of his day. He was just such a big old love bug!
7. I am not fazed at all by ... bodily functions. Changing diapers, emptying litter boxes, and cleaning up puke are certainly not my favorite things to do, but they don't bother me.
8. Long car rides ... put me to sleep. (It's OK because I'm never driving.)
9. I don't understand the fuss over ... anime.
10. When I'm home alone ... I sing. Loudly and tunelessly, but happily.
I am impressed that you aren't fazed by bodily functions. That is a duty that is horrible to me! I don't understand the fuss over anime either.
ReplyDeleteYour answer to #6 gave me warm fuzzies. And #8--I can't sleep in moving vehicles, so we'd make a great travel team.
ReplyDeleteI picked the dishes too.
ReplyDeleteI tend to stay awake on long trips to make my wife (or another driver) is awake! A pal of mine picked up my wife and me from JFK and drove us to Albany. I was very conversant even though we didn't get home until 3 a.m.
I am greatly fazed by bodily functions. Definitely not nurse material here. I salute you for that.
ReplyDeleteChopsticks aren't that difficult to use. Having said that I mess up on occasion (as do some Chinese people I've eaten with).
ReplyDeleteCan I send you my dirty dishes?
:o)
Cheers
