I will also fight to the death and am hardly ever wrong. My husband knows I'm always right
, but if there is a question regarding my accuracy, I head to the internet (the greatest invention for the know-it-alls, IMO.)

My parents got me a pillowcase when I was about 10 that said "Everyone's entitled to my opinions." I think that says it all.

I'm sarcastic... to NO end! I'm also a tomboy.
I correct EVERYTHING.. I hate it when someone says something the wrong way... Like my DH says "cash money"... it doesn't sound right to me... AT ALL!
I also know people can't stand it when I know more then them... I'm alot like Mirinae..and Gingersmom

I spend HOURS on end reading about just about ANYTHING..so when a subject pops up, I will tell them EVERYTHING about it.. and I'll argue with anyone about anything especially when I know I'm right

Sometimes I'll give advice, and I guess people don't like to take my advice for whatever reason and they go off doing things their own way, and I'll warn them or tell them the faults and mistakes in their methods, but regardless they'll be stubborn and do things their own way. Later they'll come back and get burned or something and look kind of PO'ed, and I'll ask them what happened and they'll say that their way didn't work and they got hurt or something didn't work, at which point I'll say "didn't I tell you..." or "I told you so", and it infuriates

Welll.........Neil says I don't listen well (that would be to him!!)
I'm pretty blunt, moms calls me "bullheaded"!! Its usually "my way or the highway"!! I think I'm at that age where people's opinions don't matter to me.
DH & I don't live the same lifestyle as several friends, family and aquaintenances which some people don't like. To bad so sad!!

Let's see...where to start?

* I'm extremely liberal and a staunch Democrat (and very vocal about my beliefs), which seems to irk many folks on my conservative island in Savanna, GA.
* I don't like to be on time for stuff- I like to be at least five minutes early. So if people are coming with me I tend to rush them so we can all be early. Doesn't go over well with my mom!
* I am EXTREMELY routinized (just like a cat). Up at the same time every day, dinner and shower and the same time each night, sudoku puzzles for the same half-hour period each night....drives Bradley nuts but at least we can joke about it.
* I'm a picky eater and Bradley likes everything. What especially sucks is that I HATE eating fish and I'm married to a fishing captain.

* I make no apologies for being a good writer, though people probably get annoyed that I'm often correcting their grammar!
Hmmm....on paper I'm not very likeable!

I'm laughing as I'm reading through these - maybe this is the reason we get along so well here - we're all a bunch of know-it-alls!!!

Right where shall I start!

I'm very very stubborn, when the doctors tell me I have to rest, I don't listen Alan goes mental at me and it narks him off quite a bit, also when i'm suffering badly I don't like being fussed over, although people are caring enough it annoys me.

I have to have the last word ALWAYS! and I to like others will argue my point to the point of exhaustion!

I always leave extra early, even if it means waiting the other end for ages
because I don't like lateness.

I arrange to food cans in the cupboard labels front, and if they are slightly bent I rearrange them, NOBODY can pack the shopping away but me, as it's not how I like them to be.

I always wash up my way, glasses first, cups then plates, change the water then do the rest, I don't like Alan washing up, he does it other ways and I stress glasses must be first lol.

Bedtime is a rountine of checking under the quilt, in the pillowcase and under the pillows for spiders, I am terrified and not good when Alan is exhausted and waiting to sleep.

I sing loudly and badly...totally understand that one


I am very upfront, and say what I think please or offend, that annoys some people.

I have a habbit of interupting people.... I don't mean to and I try not to but I do it all the time. I think it goes back to "children should be seen and not heard" that was a staple in my Dad's family. I don't remember haveing a conversation with an adult until I was 13.
I also can't explain how to use a computer program without at lest one of those "no not that one click on that one, no right click, not left right, your still clicking left... Oh cripes let me do it!!"

probably the fact that i am oblivious to what tics people off about me!

I have an opinion on everything, and as far as I'm concerned, everyone is entitled to my opinion. I'm very confident, even in strange situations, and my confidence comes across as arrogance or over-confidence. I have always been convinced that there isn't anything I can't do. All of this combines to make me come across as very, very full of myself. And I probably am.


I'm also antisocial. Not in like a sociopathic kind of way, but I just plain don't care if people like me or not. I used to be a really sensitive kid who worried about everyone's opinion, and then one day I just got over it and decided it didn't matter so long as I liked myself. Now, I don't feel obligated to talk to strangers just because they started talking to me first, and if I'm doing something by myself, I want to be by myself. My boyfriend bought me a T-shirt that reads "I'm antisocial. That means 'Go Away.'" Overall, I think most people would say I'm something of a
. I'm comfortable with that.
ok, this is spooky
we could be sisters!

seriously - i know it really irritates my father that i don't clean my house. i don't know why,
because he doesn't live there, but i know it bugs him.

My storys are way too dragged out and theres too many details.

And I'm too loud.

You sound exactly like me.

Oh my goodness! You just described me!! I always 'forget' to recharge my mobile/cell phone. Actually I just hate phones in general. I know there's other things about me that bug people - but I won't get into that
