Re: POLL TIME! I bored as crap....UH....
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? Yes! I have old cabinets that have been painted a zillion times so the doors don't close on most and I hate it! It looks stupid - but not for long.
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? Nope - not unless someone is coming over who'd care.
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Socks- yes. Underwear, no.
Do you make your bed every day? ha, no. I should though.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? I fold my towels very neatly. DH thinks I'm nuts but he's converted.
Are your shoes lined up? If by lined up you mean shoved into the hanging rack that is all in a line - then yes.
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? Most of the time.
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? I try to do it right away but sometimes it just isn't practical (ie I threw it in the dryer before I left for work)
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? I have a laundry chute - gotta love old house features! I carry clean wash upstairs in a basket though.
Whats your secret obsession?I don't really have an obsession.
Ha...I = *I'm*.....I BORED! I BORED!
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? Yes
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? Yes...I even smell every single glass before I drink out of it because once when i was young I drank out of a glass that had spoiled milk in it and it smelled like death....so now i check every time.
Do you fold your underwear and socks? I fold my underwear, do not own socks...I can't stand socks.
Do you make your bed every day? Nope. And I don't sleep with a flat sheet...I hate them...AND I can't "tuck" the comforter under the mattress at the bottom...need it to be loose....coo coo....
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? Folded neatly
Are your shoes lined up? No...only when company comes over....
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? No...but this would probably help because I can never find them...
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? Oh it sits in the dryer...
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? Dirty clothes...yes. Clean Clothes...no...sometimes DH will bring the clothes out of the laundry room so we can fold them "together" in the living room....but this is a rare event...
Whats your secret obsession? Hmmm...checking my email account....minimize the page and wait for the number to change....coo coo....
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? lol...no, but my DH does...
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Nope
Do you make your bed every day? Nope
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? haphazardly folded.
Are your shoes lined up? No
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? More or less
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? Right after it dries.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? Yes
Whats your secret obsession? Currently, rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer seasons
OMG, you're my husbands twin....
Yes you do!
Come on.....no one else wants to play?????
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? Yes, especially the closet in our bedroom. I can't sleep with the closet open- the monsters live in there- duh!
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? No
Do you fold your underwear and socks? I don't wear socks much but when I do, I match them up. No folding of underwear- I don't think I would even know how to do that with thongs. I fold my husband's boxers though.
Do you make your bed every day? No, but my husband does.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? When I hang up my towel, it's spread out over the top of the door so it dries. I hate the way it looks but I don't like wet towels.
Are your shoes lined up? Not usually. I let my closet get really bad, then I re-organize all of the shoes neatly. (The monsters in the closet approve).
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? Yes, both go on the sofa-back near the front door.
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? I don't own a washer or dryer so I have to do it all in the laundry facilities- so it never sits in the dryer.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? Dirty, yes. Clean, no. They go on the back of the computer chair until I have the energy to hang them up.
Whats your secret obsession? I like to throw things away. My husband hates it because he is a saver and I am a throw-awayer.
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? YES! DH never closes them or drawers. I mean really, how hard is it? If you can open it, you can close it.
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? Not really. If it looks really spotty I put it in the sink to be rewashed and grab another.
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Yes and Yes
Do you make your bed every day? No way
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? Neat but DH's is always all wonky
Are your shoes lined up? No, they are hidden away in bins
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? I keep my keys in my purse but my purse usually ends up staying where ever I dropped it when I last came into the house
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? We never let it sit, it makes it all wrinkled and then I'd have to iron - which I hate
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? We have a dirty clothes basket but when they are clean, they get pulled out, folded, and put right away
Whats your secret obsession? I am pretty OCD. There are tons of things that drive me crazy: leaving the shower curtin open (mildew hello), leaving a wet sponge in the sink, the open cabinet thing makes me bonkers, wet towels on the bed, the list goes on and on
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open?
Yes! DH does this all the time and it drives me nuts!
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware?
No, this doesn't bother me
Do you fold your underwear and socks?
I don't really fold either, but socks are paired and rolled together and underwear is neatly stacked.
Do you make your bed every day?
Yes.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard?
I like to spread it out across the bar so it looks nice, but not folded.
Are your shoes lined up?
Yes. I even line up DH's shoes.
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time?
Yes. We have a "key bowl" and my purse has both an upstairs and a downstairs spot depending on where I am at the time.
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer?
Okay, this is going to sound really OCD, but I kind of prioritize my laundry. High priority laundry gets put away right away: shirts that will wrinkle, pjs or other clothes we'll use that night, etc. Low priority laundry, like DH's undershirts or socks can wait.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket?
Yes.
Whats your secret obsession?
I cannot go to bed until the house is organized. This means no slouchy couch cushions, clean kitchen counter tops, mail in a neat stack, media remotes in their little holder, projects put away... I wouldn't call my home spotless because I hate dusting and vacuuming, but dang, it is organized.

Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? Yes! DH does this all the time- kitchen cabinets, his dresser drawers, everything... drives me nuts.
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? No
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Not underwear, but I do pair my socks.
Do you make your bed every day? No. I only do when I wash the sheets and put new ones on.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? Neatly folded
Are your shoes lined up? Nope. They are all just thrown in the closet
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? Yes. We have a key bowl and coat rack that my purse stays on. Otherwise, I'd never find them
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? If I have another load to put in, I take it out and fold it. But otherwise, I let it sit in there and take it out later when I feel like it.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? Yup.
Whats your secret obsession? Even numbers. I have to set everything at an even number- the thermostat, volume on the TV/radio, temperature on the oven... Wow, I sound nuts.
I have NO socks...none...zero...I don't wear socks when I work out. Foot Powder is a great thing....
Ewww. I don't like wearing shoes without socks--feels gross and slimy to me. Even when I wear cute flats, I slip them off under my desk to let them air out. More opportunities to knit myself cute accessories!

No slime here......
Not that I have exceptionally sweaty feet or anything. Feet are just gross and should be contained.

What about in the winter, when walking through snow?? Don't you wear socks under your boots??? Don't your feet get cold?
lol....keep your feet contained! So does it gross you out when people walk around barefoot?
A little bit. But more because of whatever germs they could be picking up off the sidewalk/grass/whatever else. It's okay inside your home, but not in public...

Well I guess we can never hang out outside huh? Especially in the grass?
Naw, if you want to contract whatever's lurking in the grass, you're perfectly welcome to.

Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? Yes!
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? Yes, if they're obvious.
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Yes, but not thongs.
Do you make your bed every day? Only when I change the sheets because I leave before DH in the morning. He thinks it's dumb to make the bed because you're just going to get back in again. I think that was one of the biggest compromises for me... I love a clean bedroom with a smooth bed.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? Neat! They dry so much better that way!
Are your shoes lined up? Yes, mostly... DH and I both like to kick off our shoes but they make it back to their spots usually.
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? Yep!
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? I try to... it sometimes just won't work. In that case I try to at least pull things out that I don't want to end up ironing and lay them out so they don't get wrinkled.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? Yep!
Whats your secret obsession? I definitely hate going to bed with a dirty kitchen... I'm also pretty particular with how laundry is folded, how things are put away in the kitchen drawers, etc... I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of right now.
MY BLOG!
Oh my goodness...we are twins. Seriously, those are my biggest pet peeves and my DH does ALL of them.
Does it bother you if the cabinet doors are left open? YES! DH never closes them or drawers. I mean really, how hard is it? If you can open it, you can close it.<---I left krc's answer because it is exactly what I would have said
Do you wipe spots off glasses/silverware? Not usually. Our dishwasher tends to leave yucky stuff in our glasses so I always put my hand in and rub it to make sure it is really a spot and not crap (I've drunk my fair share of floating crap)
Do you fold your underwear and socks? Not underwear, but i do match up the socks and ball pairs together.
Do you make your bed every day? Our house rule is that that last out of bed makes it.
When you hang up your towel, is it neat and folded or haphazard? it goes on a hook so I just hook it, I can't really fold.
Are your shoes lined up? No, and it causes me great distress sometimes. We do not have enough space!
Do you keep your keys/purse in the same place all the time? Yes, keys are in purse and purse is on the chair by the front door (unless company comes)
Do you fold laundry right after it dries? or let it sit in the dryer? DH and I are working on this. We have to do laundry downstairs, so it gets put back in the basket and is then brought upstairs...it usually just sits until we have such a huge pile of clothes that need to be washed that we need the basket again...viscous cycle.
Do you put your clothes in the laundry basket? see above
Whats your secret obsession? I am pretty OCD. There are tons of things that drive me crazy: leaving the shower curtin open (mildew hello), leaving a wet sponge in the sink, the open cabinet thing makes me bonkers, wet towels on the bed, the list goes on and on <---Left krc's answer again, I couldn't have said it better myself.
