So - do you share a domicile with someone that is obsessed with something?
Football and all the players and stats

Cleanliness and a dust bunnie hiding in the corner under the bed.

you get the idea -

?

1. Golf and Football
I HATE golf. I also don't understand how he can play golf all day and come home and WATCH it on TV!

I like football too so his obsession doesn't annoy me as much as golf.

7. my bulldog is obsessed with licking her front paws
probably because she's not built in such a way that she's capable of licking anywhere else. But she just doesn't let up on those paws. Everything else about the dog is white or brown, but her front paws stay this ruddy protein-stain color all the time. Vet thought at first it was an allergy and her little doggie toes were itchy. But it turned out to just be a(nother) little psychological problem.

10. I shared a home...
With a woman who was the widow of a serial killer and had a raging case of Borderline Personality Disorder to call all her very own. She was moved in by the landlord, who used her in a manner that can only be called(And I am being VERY kind!) "Jizz Jar". At all times she had someone in her life who was her mortal enemy and responsible for all the evil in the world. My number, naturally, came up. Lucky me.

Oh yeah: That's when I started drinking with a he-man, two-fisted vengeance. And people wondered why.

11. My dad gets pretty obsessed with movies.
A few years ago it was "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" and now it is "Pulp Fiction". At least they are great movies.

14. I tried birds, but
I made the mistake of putting them and their cage outside for air, and they flew away when the wind knocked it over. I made a mistake, but I swore I would never again have birds. or cages.

19. this person likes wild birds
so the cage thing is not a problem.

The ten drums of bird seed in the garage are a pain in the ass though.

And I bang my head on the damned feeders everytime I walk anywhere near a tree.


Plus we have the world's supply of sunflowers, thistle and who knows what else growing in the yard. I thought about turning it into a cash crop, but then all the wild birds would eat it before it got harvested.

18. My cat , Skunkie "pays" for his food with the big paper clips
Edited on Sat Aug-16-03 01:08 AM by SoCalDem
Every time we hear "clink" in his bowl, there's another clip and he's munching away.. One day a friend was at the house and asked if I had a paper clip.. She was hysterical, when I said.."wait..let me check the cat dish", and returned with about 6 of them.. He sneaks into the office and finds them..

another cat is obsessed with paper.. she "punches" kitty teeth marks onto any paper she can find..

aren't cats fun:)


EDIT...where are my manners... WELCOME TO DU :hi:

21. Thanks, SoCal
She's pretty fond of socks, too. Laundry is a bitch, she has them stashed all over the house. I know exactly what you are talking about with the feed dish, if you want to clean your ears in this house...
