Being a perfectly perfect person in my own eyes (if I don’t look in the mirror too often), I hate to admit I have certain FOIBLES.
Actually, there is only one real foible and the secret is now being shamefully announced through cyberspace.
Please do not judge this harshly but,
I DO NOT LIKE TO SHARE POPCORN!
IN FACT, I HATE SHARING POPCORN!
Perhaps this sounds selfish.
Yes, it really is selfish.
But consider this from my perfectly perfect point of view:
- Hands carry germs and if you are germaphobic (like moi),
- Sharing anything with germy hands involved is HORROR-FYING.
- I like to eat the WHOLE Small, Medium, or Large size bag of popcorn all by myself. I LOVE popcorn! I want it ALL!
- The noise created by strange fingers dipping in is maddening. I want to listen to the movie UNDISTURBED, preferably in solitary confinement (alone with my popcorn bag).
- Protecting territory or personal space (that popcorn bag) is essential to maintaining mental health. I read that somewhere and it certainly does apply to popcorn bag holders.
- And never mind “pass the popcorn please.” Courtesy does not help. You are still an invader, a noise maker, and undoubtedly carrying the flu virus!
- Coming for a visit? Now you know to stay clear of the One-Foibled-Woman when there is popcorn involved!. Ignore this warnng at your own peril.
- The popcorn is MINE! Why am I expected to share it and made to feel guilty if I don’t?
- But I ask you fellow bloggers, isn’t there something admirable about a woman with only one foible?
- And do you think blogging is beginning to take its toll on my perfectly perfect one-foibled life?
From http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/foible : Sometimes a foible helps make a person who they are, even if the foible, or weakness (“feeble” is a close relative), is a little odd. Synonyms for foible in a negative sense are “failing,” “shortcoming,” and in a more positive sense “quirk,” “eccentricity.” It can likewise be annoying or endearing. Most people have a foible, or idiosyncrasy, that stands out to others, but interestingly, a person rarely sees his or her own characteristic foible.
