Pet peeves
My OC-ness is public knowledge. I can be extremely meticulous I drive my husband nuts. That he makes the bed the way I want it should say a lot. There are, however, certain pet peeves that get on both our nerves. Are you ready? Okay - we go bananas over a roll of toilet paper hung underhand. I know the world doesn't stop spinning over which direction the toilet paper should go, but hey, we are allowed to nurture a certain oddness.
At work, the toilet paper is placed upside down. The only thing that's stopping me from flipping it over is that the toilet paper is encased in a metal box that's screwed on to the wall. But if I had a screw driver....
So imagine my elation this Wednesday when I went on a bathroom break and found the toilet paper hanging overhand. What joy! I actually had a smile on my face when I went back to my office! Yep, I take small pleasures in "little" things.
I am also happy to report that, to our relief, our little resident has graduated from that phase of leaving his handprints on the bathroom mirror, after steaming up the bathroom for a good 30 minutes. We're making significant progress here!
