Question What disease (really, habits) did you inherit from your parents?

I inherited my dad's inability to close drawers. I don't realize I do it, but it drives me INSANE when I look around and see all these open drawers. Even in my office. I wish I could fix this!

An inability to see things at the back of the refrigerator...or really, anything that's not right in front of my face (from my father).

My dad's pack rattiness (is that the proper term?) and my mom's having to organize everything skills (although it doesn't look like it at times, the urge is always there, LOL).

You know, my father, and his father before him, are (were) both incredibly stubborn. My mother and her mother before her love(d) to shop.

So yeah. I'm a very stubborn shopper.

I let people treat me like a doormat very often, that's my mom in me. But if you do something to piss me off, I completely lose my temper--thanx dad.

I like to tell everyone what to do and how to think. I actually believe people are going to do and think like I tell them to. Thanks, Dad!

I also have a terribly messy closet and bathroom. The closet trait goes to both sides and the messy bathroom goes to my grand dad on my mom's side.

I have my father's stubborn streak and my mother's temper. This is a bad combination...

Well, I inherited my grandmother distaste for being late. I'm GREATFUL I didn't catch my mother and her father's ability to talk to any and everyone for 987692761 hours at a time, even though they KNOW they have to be somewhere, and they KNOW its late/hot/we'rehungry/etc. That and being 870847 hours late

My daughter, unfortunately for me, inherited my smart mouth and talkbackedness. She got her father's assholeishness.
