Are you a fuss pot?

Now I'm a very calm, patient person. Take folk as i find them. Am particularly unassuming. What's the one thing that I find hard to take? Fuss pots. People who phaff and fuss and make a big deal of everything. Get into the gunnels of everything. Want to know everything. Go into every bloomin detail. I have someone in mind when I say this and I don't like myself for it, but it's the one thing I find tiring. They wear me out!

Is it just me? Life's too bliddy short.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

I never sweat the small stuff, unlike people I know who fret over trivial things like the state of their garden or what colour cushions match the sofa. (Two real examples from people I know in the last couple of weeks) Who needs to bother with stuff like that - I just feel like laughing at them!

EDIT: Oh, and someone else I know pondering over what GUEST TOWELS to buy, for god's sake!! I'd rather shoot myself in the head than get bogged down with tripe like that.

Ooh Tachyon, apart from the guest towels, that's me! You can laugh I don't mind.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

Cranberry, I was maybe a wee bit like that with the towels years ago, but I just feel it doesn't really matter now. I decided to meet all my friends outwith my home, so I don't need to worry about things like that now. I've chosen the easy option

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

Ah, I wouldn't laugh in a nasty way. I doubtless have quirks that amuse them, too.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

Oh dear. I'm always thinking about the state of my garden. But the fact that I took on over an acre of jungle when I moved here has something to do with it.

Couldn't care less about the colour of the cushions or towels, though...

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

If I'm now being honest, I probably meant do you fuss over every detail of everyone else's life. To the point where you stress them out with your constant questioning of EVERyTHING you tell them. I've been in that position for years now and it's extremely difficult to cope with. Gets you down and takes away your confidence. Sorry if I'm sounding puzzling, but I don't know how else to put it

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

i want to know more about the guest towels

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

Myra how can they possibly wear you out when you're so calm and patient and unassuming, a little bit of fussing should wash over you completely unnoticed.

Re: Are you a fuss pot?

No I don"t fuss about other people and what they do. I do what I want to and they can do what they want . End of.
