Top 10 Rules for Living Peacefully...With Me

Are y'all shocked that I have a list of rules that can make life easier for people around here? I didn't think so.

My list has changed somewhat since the lovelies all grew up and moved along. But, it isn't that bad. It isn't irrational. It isn't unfair. It never has been any of those things. And the rules aren't there to make anyone's life miserable. They are there to keep me from smacking the living daylights out of you make life easier and more pleasant for us all. 

My list is easy enough to adhere to. IF other people are paying attention, which they (apparently) are not doing.

Here are the top 10 ways to keep me from blowing my stack:
  1. Don't use my hairbrush or my toothbrush AND if you knock it on the floor or something, LET ME KNOW. Seriously, this should not even HAVE to be on a list.
  2. Don't use my pillow. It's mine, leave it alone. I am not a fan of having your drool on it.
  3. Don't touch my camera, computer or phone without permission. Everyone's stuff gets broken or infected except mine. That's a red flag in my book.
  4. If you SAY you're going to do something- freaking DO IT. Otherwise, you will be labeled a promise breaker.
  5. Don't drink out of my glass/water bottle and don't eat from my fork/spoon. Self explanatory.
  6. Don't use your fork/spoon to help yourself to another serving or to get olives out of the jar. Manners people, manners.
  7. Don't forward me those stupid emails. Seriously, and everyone who does this is not getting my new email address.
  8. Don't leave me a voice mail message- I will see that I missed your call and call you back ASAP. OR, you can text me. (This is down to just two people now- and the two of you need to stop leaving me voice messages!).
  9. Do not bother me during football season (NFL AND college) and this DOES include preseason.Which starts this weekend. Take note.
  10. Don't lie to me. About anything. EVER.

See? Those aren't so bad. As a matter of fact, some of them probably shouldn't have to be on a list because they should fall under common sense. 'Should' being the keyword there.

Now tell us, what's on your list of rules or pet peeves?
