No Unauthorized Dust Allowed to Collect

From the beginning pages of The Complete Neurotic: The Anxious Person's Guide to Life, intention is obvious - to make you accept the reality of your neurotic tendencies in a positively hilarious manner. I picked a copy from Asia Books on my way to have my weekly Italian icecream, and thought that as it's impossible to share the icecream, I would share some value I got for the money with you. Author Charles A. Monagan listed his observations regarding the social and personal behavior of neurotics:

1. Neurotics daydream about winning the lottery, but they never play it.
***sometimes I do wonder what it's like...lol

2. Neurotics hate to ask directions. This is particularly true of males, who like to think of themselves as self-sufficient trailblazers even if they are just trying to get to a cocktail party across town.
***hmmm...the ex comes to mind

3. Neurotics write contentious comments on the margins of books.
***there's this string of mild contentions on my Da Vinci Code. Thank God I didn't choke on my ice cream lol!

4. If there is one chance in a million of making a mistake, a neurotic will not call another person by name.

5. Neurotics have favorite coffee cups that they love beyond reason. Exceptional neurotics will go so far as to take these cups with them when they go out for breakfast.

6. Neurotics make a very big deal out of things like Peter and the Wolf and The Wizard of Oz.
***Does Harry Potter count?

7. Neurotics believe in bumper-sticker wisdom. A car that is covered with bumper stickers has a driver behind the wheel whose mind probably is not on the road.
***at least I'm not a fan of bumper stickers on cars

8. The record collections of neurotics are in alphabetical order. No unauthorized hand is allowed to touch these records. No unauthorized dust is allowed to collect on them.
***the contents of my book shelf and dresser are not in alphabetical order but I don't like it really when unauthorized hands touch them *tiger grin"

9. Neurotics hum or whistle at inappropriate times and places.

10. If a neurotic begins to think about walking while walking down the street (particularly with people watching) he or she will begin shambling and perhaps even lose balance and fall down. Likewise, neurotics are unable to breathe properly if they begin thinking about breathing.

11. Neurotics tend to take up causes that involve whales, stray cats, and baby seals rather than human beings.

12. Neurotics are sure the phone will begin ringing as soon as they get out of earshot.

13. Neurotics see omens where others would not. For instance: If the next man who walks around the corner is wearing a hat, it will mean that I can afford to buy the green dress.

Any of these familiar or you can relate with?:-)
