you might be high maintenance if.....

[Sue]

if you know what tarragon is and can name two more spices that begin with “T”.

Thyme, off the top of my head and after a bit of thinking... tumeric. I may not be a chef yet.....

you talk long distance to your mother more than 5 times a week.

Bwahahaa, I told my parents that when I move away they can just check my LJ so I won't have to call them at all.

go to the grocery store more than 3 times a week.

I go almost everyday.... because I work there! LOL

And for hanaeleh:

Your car gets washed more often than your pets

My cats are self cleaning, sadly my car is not.

That was interesting like one of those get to know you threads.

One I'd add is: You wash your sneakers in the washing machine not because you walked 5 miles though mud but because they have a few scuffed places!!

*blinks* is there a bad thing about husband-in-training? its a long joke and his mom and him started it beacuse he hasnt given me a ring yet.....oh he's asked for my hand just the whole job/money/thing

i guess im fairly low maintenance except for the pajamas thing i like my silk nighties

[Cloud]

That makes sense to me. Do you like your job?

[ogr81vegeta]

Never thought of myself as high maintenance,

but I did answer yes to a few of those.

[shellie]

Doggone it -- I'm hopelessly low maintenance. I WANNA be higher maintence, cuz I'm worth WORKIN' a little bit for!! hahaha

[Startyde]

i like my silk nighties

*Scoots closer...*

are willing to wait 45 min for non-smoking

Yes, because I have a SEVERE allergy to cigarette smoke. I used to get 2 allergy shots a week for about 12 years of my life to help me with it. So I don't consider that high maintenance. Although instead of waiting the 45 minutes, I'd just go to another restaurant

All in all, I'm pretty low maintenance.

[celgami]

I'd take high maintenance over...

...if smelling it doesn't make you gag, you can wear it again.
...week old pizza box in middle of floor...with partial slice left.
...everything in the bathroom has a ring around it.
...uses t-shirt been wearing three straight days for Kleenex/napkin.
...5 o'clock shadow turns into 72:00...everywhere.
...clips toenails over dinner (at least they're grooming).
...has not washed the bath towel for three months...hey, I'm clean so the towel is too.
...all dishes are piled up in the sink...either time to buy more or straight from the pan works for me!
...your place is the favorite hangout for all the pests/bugs around...if they don't mess with me, I won't mess with them.


Somewhere there is a happy median...

[Makoli]

yeee i know plenty of my fellow gamers like that! i swear the leaning tower of year old pizza box's occupients have there own civilization.

[duotrouble]

do not wear baseball caps b/c it will mess up your hair when you take it off.

BUSTED! I said this exact thing to collective yesterday.

I've always considered myself medium maintainance. So I am because I answered yes to almost half of them, right? One question though. Pajamas?

[soda]

One question though. Pajamas?

Statements such as that get you an "automatic low maintenance" in my book no matter how many you answered yes.

[Cloud]

Oh. Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself about that.

[duotrouble]

Soda, I don't know if that was a compliment or a dig. I think I'll just go with Cloud's advice. (Man, that's scary!)

A recent update to a RS gallery has this in the news section:

.....I aquired two of them from a friend who's getting married and his fiance won't let him hang all the animation on the walls.....

I bet the fiance's score would be towards the "high maintenance" end of the scale. These are things that need to be discussed at the BEGINNING of the relationship.

A recent update to a RS gallery has this in the news section:

OK ... that person's fiancee is definitely on the high side of high maintenance. No animation on the walls??!! What is she, a freaking barbarian?? This is exactly the kind of thing couples must discuss before marriage. If my hubby ever told me it was him or the anime ... hmmm ... I might have to really think about my decision. No ... seriously ...

are willing to wait 45 min for non-smoking

Yes, because I have a SEVERE allergy to cigarette smoke.

Ditto on the cigarette smoke allergy. But, I would also go to another restaurant, or go home and make a sandwich before waiting 45 minutes.

Hmmm ... baseball caps are my friends ... especially on "bad hair days", so no rewashing the hair for me.

And ... well, I'm not sure about the pajamas one. I don't even own pajamas ... I prefer hubby's t-shirts.

So ... even though I answered yes to three things off the list, I wonder if these little quirks are enough to make me low maintenance ....

Ah ... who am I kidding?! I'm with you, hannaleh! I fully acknowledge to being in the "high maintenance but think I'm low maintenance" category, since I also like things a certain way. OK --- my way. Of course, the arrival of my little daughter has changed a lot of that. Nothing like having an ankle-biter crawling around the house to turn you from high maintenance to low. OK, well, maybe not "low" ... but medium, at least.
