I think that's spelled "cootie"..
I may have identified something like a phobia, though I haven't researched it.
Dirty plates. I cannot relax around them. I can be finished a meal, and I cannot sit and drink/talk more while a dirty/unwashed plate is sitting there. If I eat near the tv, I cannot resume watching or gaming while the plate is there...it's like a constant destraction that spoils whatever I'm doing - I don't even have to wash it, I just need it to be gone from my presence. When I have friends over it's the same...most of them just do it automatically now but there were times I had to ask. Not that this is something they (most) wouldn't do anyway, just yknow...from the point they're empty they just disturb me more and more.
Cups though, don't seem to have the same effect...I can leave an empty teacup around for god knows how long.
It's probably just me...I've been told I display OCD type traits before, but never thought too much about it - I also have symmetry issues to add to that theory.
But whatever, if it means I have a symmetrical house/life and don't have to gather dishes at a later time, I'm good with that as is.
