It’s worse when it isn’t actually water. Like the other night, when I got up to pee in the middle of the night and stepped in something wet on the way back to bed. What, there shouldn’t be water on the bedroom floor! I turned on the light to investigate, and realized it was in fact cat puke (I must have stepped on the edge, where the liquids had soaked into the carped, but missed the mushy part). It was cold, so it must have been there a while. So then I had to clean that up at 2 in the morning…
Disagree, that’s pretty important. I don’t get infuriated ever at my dogs. But they have left surprises for me. 2am, guess it’s time to get up anyway…
My husband is that way and unfortunately he lives with me, a person who can best be described as a failed water-bender. Ever since I was a small child I have had a penchant for getting water all over everything, especially the floor. It doesn’t bother me so I don’t notice it. I’m not bothered at all by wet socks. Yes, I do clean it up when I notice it.
He also hates rain and I couldn’t care less about getting rained on, unless it’s cold.
Yet I really have a hard time showering, for some reason. It’s a struggle every morning.
Yeah, gotta get over that do unto others thingie sometimes.
Heh. I can’t go barefoot. Socks only in the house? OK… For a little while. But the shoes Must go on. Unless I’m lazing on the couch and getting ready for bed.
I realize this is because I don’t go barefoot. I don’t have any callouses on my feet. At all. The tiniest piece of gravel sets me to hopping. I realize this is sort of a Catch 22.
I have more callouses on my head from banging it against my keyboard.
Now that I work from home, It would be easy to blow the shower off, but I still do it.
You know you are a dedicated cat owner when you step on something squishy and think “I hope that was only a hairball”. Dont worry, our cats are really good with the littler box, but sometimes there are “klingons”.
But the difference is that you would actually be doing your damn job. When a person’s job is to take tickets, and they aren’t paying attention, then they aren’t doing their job.
Does he also try the soup and then complain “This gazpacho tastes awful!”
And then you have to remind “It is NOT gazpacho, it is salmorejo!!”
Because I have had similar experiences with relatives.
No, he has spared me that indignity.
That would be the time to get pedantic.
“And such small servings!”
Well, he needed the eggs.
Maybe not infuriated, but I get rolling-my-eyes irritated when someone says “lather, rinse, repeat” to mean “repeat”. I guess they consider it a clever bon mot, but it ceased to be funny about 40 years ago.
If you are seriously asking me that - yes I do enjoy a shower and wading. I’m talking about walking around the house and stepping in water that’s been spilled on the floor, or melted snow.
Correct!
This was brought up in the “things that your family do to annoy you” thread. It applies to my customers. I hate it when a person takes ten minutes to convey (or answer) a simple question.
“So what can I do for you?”
“Well, I just moved here …(ten minutes about how and why they came down to Florida, what they like and don’t like about the place, all the different ideas they’ve had over the years, how much they love dogs, etc…). So how close can my shed be to the back property line?”
“So you need to know the rear setback on your property?”
“Yeah.”
“Five feet. Anything else I can do for you?”
“No, that’s all. Thanks for the help!”
My parent’s dog has this annoying (but funny) habit of trying to dig in her water bowl, so she’ll splash around in the bowl getting water alll over the kitchen floor. It’s so fun to step in that wearing socks. 
And this is a thing that infuriates me well beyond its actual importance: people who write parent’s when they apparently mean parents’. If it’s just one parent, why not specify which parent?
Parent is non-binary?
Both parents are same gender, so specifying won’t identify which partner is which?
Only one parent is still living, or only one is in contact?
Person who isn’t specifying tries, in general, not to identify genders when they’re not relevant, and doesn’t think they’re relevant in this case?
(Admittedly, it’s unclear in some cases, including in the example, whether it’s an error for parents’.)
That’s part of why it’s infuriating: it could be deliberate, and the person writing it really does mean just one parent, but most of the time I suspect that it doesn’t mean that.
