Dislike seeing wiring, telephone wiring, computer wiring, extension cords, lamp cords, speaker wiring, anywhere in house, etc.
Love to keep tools, just in case, love to walk Home Depot to see new tools, dream about the olden days.
Shelving, tools and spare parts in garage, (wife has in house, don't like that!)
Hate having auto repair service lie to me, so as many diagnostic tools for cars so I can tell if they are lying.
tread/disc brake gauges, on board diagnostic readers, air gauges, battery testers. . .
Hate having computer/network guys lie to me, so have all cable testing and cable repair tools, diagnostics,
Hate having carpenters lie to me, so I have hammers and nails. . .

It sure beats running to the hardware store for "just one screw or nut", especially if it is after store hours. Sometimes you have to buy a whole box of something so you can use one or two out of that box.

My Daughter and her husband have moved in with us and are going to buy our house when we move to TV. She has been "cleaning out the garage"! Help.

Yep, just went out to the garage and got the hardware I needed for a small project.

Default Stacking dishes

[QUOTE=jebartle;1753983]But at restaurants, I stack dishes, ole boy wonders if I'm hoping for a tip (I know someone would like to fill in the blanks, ok, go ahead, I can take it)[/QUOTE

Once read an article written by wait staff at restaurants stating that the thing they hated most was patrons stacking dishes, thinking they are helping. Claimed it is NOT a help and makes their job more difficult as they have a method to their madness and the patrons disturb it. I have never forgotten that article.

I still smile at women under fifty as if I didn’t look like the ghost of Christmas past. They know better. (Laughing)

If we somehow meet, there will probably be only one survivor as there can't be 2 completely insane, crazy people with the same quirks. . .
