In our household everyone wants to sit where they can see the tv.  Dinner time they all rush to that seat, even call for it.  Pretty dunb, ithink I'll start turning the tv off and see what they do.

I know!  I can be that way even when I don't mean to be.  When I'm stressed not just about one thing but a lot of things that I can't control I grab onto whatever and whoever in my life and try to control everything.  Inside you feel lost and out of control so you will try and control anything you can.  I do it more with my house.  I keep it spic and span!  Mostly cause of bills and I can't control them.

I once played a prank on a friend by putting child lock on the door of his car... He tried to get out. My mom told him to pull harder, but then I explained. My mom was fuming!

Why do you kick your car when it breaks down? Why do you shake your mouse when your computer freezes?\n\nit's just one of those things that you do in a vain attempt to fix things.

I can't stand it when people leave a room without turning the lights off. I usually dash back inside the room after the person leaves, to correct the problem. I'm not like that with most things but...

I have this thing that drives my husband batty...I separate paper napkins or tear them in half...he can't stand when I do that.  I don't turn lights on until a room is so dark you can't see anything.  I use candles a lot too instead of electric lights.  I wash plastic picnic plates and silverware.  Stock up my pantry with things I use all the time when I see them on sale.  I only do large loads of laundry.  Walk instead of taking the bus.  Never buy ready to eat meals, always cook from scratch.  Freeze leftovers.  Stale bread becomes a breakfast casserole or croutons.  Leftover vegetables become soup...Oh, the list goes on and on....

I don't think she'll get in trouble. It was incredibly stupid to bolt the dish on the TV. I would have laughed! Reminds me of the woman who was told that 2 bricks in the toilet conserved water, and got mad when the toilet overflowed. Guess nobody told her that the bricks went in the tank...ooops! Anyway, the boss may want to point out the importance of making sure the mute button is on in the future, but he probably thinks it was silly also.

It is a nervous condition.  Really. Happens to me sometimes too. I find it useful to get away from the source of aggravation.

Of corse it will you silly head. Can't you see. the evidence is all around us. I mean why do we drive cars, and why do we have remote controls for tvs, and just look at all the fat people.

Since you already have some real answers, I can't resist.\n\n"Turn off the light when you leave the room!"\n\n -- My dad

You're obviously doing something to upset someone somewhere - even if you aren't doing it on purpose. It happens here on Y!Answers too, but life's too short to actually worry about it!\n\nRawlyn.

When you watch a TV program that you hate because you can't find the remote and are too lazy to get up and change the channel.\nWhen you trade your car because you are too lazy to drive a stick shift and want an automatic.
