It's crooked and I HATE crooked. Like nails on a fucking chalkboard; my insides are screaming. I want to break something.

I had a moment when I was about to try to "fix it"....which actually would be me FORCING it straight until it broke. You have NO idea how much this pushed on old compulsive buttons from my childhood. As a kid I had this "thing" where I HAD to feel the sensation of my sock behind my knee or else I would want to die. I would rip socks apart, trying to pull them to get them "just right." Now, I knew that pulling them like that wouldn't help, I just hated them for being crooked and wanted to break them. I've even broken kitchen glasses on purpose after one broke accidently because I hated seeing them line up unevenly in the cupboard. It runs in my family.

It's rather anti-climactic...

I had a car stereo installed after a month of not having one in my brand new car(due to researching, worrying and fussing over price, features and brand). Today, I finally took the plunge, settled for a mid-priced Sony with an auxiliary jack on the face. Within two minutes I was ready to ram into a fucking fire hydrant. It's off kilter in two ways. The left side is ever so slightly higher than the right AND the right side is pushed a little further back into the dash. It's subtle but enough to make me homicidal. It's SOOO going back.

If you want...I will go with you as moral support or muscle as you demand that they fix it.

They need to do it right and I am more than willing to help facilitate that.

OK, I'll SOO take a fellow OCD with me to demand they straighten it!! I'm afraid they're going to think I'm nutz. Oh, well.

Oh, no. You got your hair cut by someone else and they cut it crooked! SO sorry. They have to fix it. You only pay for a crooked cut if you ask for it that way.

Good luck. Hope your insides feel better soon.

Ha!! No, my my hair got crooked all by myself.

huskypapi July 19 2006, 03:57:21 UTC

that made me laugh outloud.

wow dbs62 July 19 2006, 05:26:22 UTC

I love you.

and yes they should do it right. They get away with doing it wrong cuz nobody has the energy to go back and insist they do it right...

don't hurt yourself or your car in the meantime please...
