Fuckin hate wet shoes.

I get upset over empty ice trays in the freezer. If you bothered to use the last of it, why not re-fill it before you put it back so other people can enjoy the same privlidges you just did, hmmm? Same thing with empty orange juice containers (especially those paper box ones since you can't tell if it's empty or not until you reach for it to pour). If it's empty, it should be in the trash, NOT inside the fridge taking up valuable space.

Also, hair in the bathroom. I'm relieved when I see that it's only MY hair that's scattered all over the bathroom. At least if it's my own filth, I'm the only one to be ashamed that I'm not cleaning up after myself. I shed constantly, so I go after them and clean the bathroom as an afterthought every few days or so, but I'm usually pleased that whatever hair I'm picking off the floor is just mine. For some reason, if it wasn't and it was mostly other people's hair, it would gross me out.

Fingerprints on monitors were a HUGE pet peeve for me, but now that I'm out of school and my work computer and my own desktop at home is the only screens I'm around, I'm not bothered quite by it. I guess when I had to use shared lab monitors for schoolwork that had largely to do with graphic / pretty stuff on screen it affected my perfectionist attitude.

All of these are insignificant. We're out of ice/juice, big deal, make/buy more. There's hair on the floor or fingerprints on monitors, big deal, clean it up. BUT IT JUST BUGS ME. I'm doing better recently though; I'm hardly upset about dirty dishes in the sink because I'm equally guilty in the crime (and my roommate's boyfriend volunteers to do them when he's here, in exchange for home-cooked meals).

Ugh. I just discovered another one: my co-worker who sits in front of me always has these clog-like shoes on, and she's the type of woman who walks dragging her feet across the carpet. I don't understand why it bugs me, but it does. PICK UP YOUR DAMN FEET WOMAN, THIS AIN'T A JAPANESE TEMPLE WITH TATAMI MATS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The only legit excuse I can think of is following:
A) Traditional Asian homes (even most condo's) are wood or tatami flooring; hardly any carpet, and transfers motion/vibration a LOT further if you walk the western way. People consider our "normal" way of picking up our ankles and walking "stomping" because you can feel it. Also, Asian countries are custom more to sitting close to the floor or directly on it.
B) Culture that has very weak/shallow history in rubber-soled thick shoes (which do make a lot of noise when you stomp around). They basically wore flip flops/strap sandles made of hay for centuries before westerners came aboard. I imagine those are harder to walk around in.

So traditionally in Japan, I think it may have been more "proper" to not pick up your feet to walk (which given the reason above about the architechture and living culture, is sorta understandable). It's just when these people wear thick-sole shoes that really makes sounds that aren't very proper in Western culture.
It's kinda like slurping your food. In Japan, it's polite to slurp your noodles (and considered even more gourmet since the slurping action incorporates more air with your food as you eat and thus make it taste better), but obviously that is considered bad manners here... It's the kind of thing people from that culture wouldn't even think differently unless they're addressed with it. If the Asians you notice dragging their feet are married to someone of Asian decent, eat Asian food everyday and you barely understand their English and only talks to their families in their language and the people they go to church are also Asian, chances are they've never been told that dragging their feet is something that's not considered good walking manners in this country (USA).

And ditto on the dirty mice. I always used to clean a mouse in the library before using it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I do love those asshole drivers, especially those around Hollywood that are all "I have an expensive car and therefore I'm the most important driver on this road" type people. When they get behind me and drive recklessly I'm like "YES, PLEASE HIT ME IN THE ASS ME WITH YOUR RIDICULOUS EXPENSIVE CAR."

Sadly, this is LA. There's a good chance the Audi/BMW/Mercedes drivers live in a 1 bedroom, $1050/mo SHACK of a crappy apartment. The luxury status of a car does not reflect income level accurately.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
