Did Everything Have to Be "Special" For Him?

Ever have one of these? Everything has to be special ordered, because nothing as-is meets his standards? Couldn't have the bag of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies...noooo, he had to have the Chips Ahoy PEANUT BUTTER chip cookies...the brand about 5% of grocers stock. Cheese danish? Nuh-uh...he must have apricot danish...the kind nobody has. Regular coffee? Not for this pile of specialness, hell no! Had to be a combo of regular coffee grounds with 1/3 Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla grounds (and no measure)...gyros...xtra sauce and no onions...what are you? Stupid? Sandwich...can't just have mayo...has to be mayo on one side, ranch dressing on the other...and it better not be ordinary bread...it better be Pepperidge Farms, okay?

And on, and on and on...just a regular trip to pick up something quick for dinner turned into brain surgery...I'm so thrilled to be rid of that prima donna pain in the ass!

cerebral narc

Mine was a cerebral narc , he hated fancy things, clothes , brands..etc. He even wore shoes with holes in them. I had to harass him to buy stuff for himself. He looked like a mess everytime I saw him, sometimes didnt bathe. (EWW) But, he loved MIND games, covert, stealth nasty mind games. That was his thing. So these worms come in all color, flavors and styles.

Name brand clothes

Even if he saw something he liked on the rack at the clothing store, he'd look at the label then put it back if it wasn't a big name brand. No matter what he what he wore, he still looked fat.

Lasagna

Here's a good one...lasagna...my grandmother's recipe (she was from Sicily)...complete with boiled egg, little baby meatballs...I mean this stuff is a block of heaven right here on earth...he loved lasagna...it's just that mine (you know, the family recipe that took 4 hours to create?) gave him heartburn. The only food I never liked and have NEVER liked is chunks of tomatoes...something about the texture of them makes me gag - since I was a kid. I can eat tomato sauce, pureed...but if I see tomato chunks in my food, I instantly lose my appetite. He knew this...and after all the CRAP I had to go through to make a simple meal for him all the time...in the rare instances he made something (usually chili)...there they were...chunks of tomatoes...then he'd get pissed because I wouldn't eat it. I just made myself something else...never expected him to change how he made things though. Jackass!

"Everything" bagel

The ex-Psych prof ALWAYS ordered the same thing at the coffee shop... an "Everything" bagel and some sort of herbal tea (I don't remember, I guess I have selective amnesia on this one) I would always have something different for lunch. It was a bagel. ALWAYS. He wouldn't eat anything that required utensils... so yes, my 2 year old nephew is more advanced. He was particular about spices, claiming that they irritated his belly. Uh.... New Mexico is FAMOUS for its spicy food. When he started class, everything had to be arranged at his place at the communal table just so. Meticulous. Class had to start and end according to schedule. He'd throw a fit if my classmates&I went on past the scheduled time. He said that ending class was his favorite part. He was incredibly fastidious... except for his teeth, which were decaying massively, and he did pack on the pounds over 4 years.

bagelmania!

Oh my garsh! Really! This dude had a bagel every day for lunch, he called me on every one of his breaks when he was at work (how nice) , and when he was having lunch I would ask him what he was having , he said "a bagel"..I started to feel like that was a lie, how can anyone consume a bagel every day for lunch? his excuse was he didnt like change, he liked rountine. Well, isnt that directly against a NPD traits? This man was the KING of CONFUSION.

No utensils!

I NEVER saw the ex-P eat anything BUT bagels with cream cheese. He claimed to be a vegetarian--apparently, some of my classmates saw him chowing down on a hamburger at a local fast food joint. Since it was '96, nobody was able to put it up on the social media for posterity (and public humiliation) After all, Twitter posts are being put in the Library of Congress... so it could've been commemorated. FOREVER. And he HATED public humiliation. Ran from it. The ex-P wouldn't eat anything that required utensils... so yes, my 2 year old nephew is FAR more advanced when he eats cottage cheese with a spoon or mac&cheese with a fork. I am so proud of my nephew! He's more mature than a guy pushing 50!!!! Ns/Ps in a perverse way, like routine. It makes them feel IN CONTROL. They expect the SAME reactions from us... so when we react differently (or turn it into a joke of the humiliating kind, as I am wont to do)... it throws them for a loop! The ex-P's bagel fixation reminds me of what a BORE he is. I doubt I'll see him on Iron Chef making truffled caviar sorbet with a sweet potato taro coulis. When there wasn't routine, there was DRAMA... and lots of it.

Omggg, I cant stop laughing!

Well thank you again , I really needed a laugh today. Great topic there Syren ;) Mine was very particular about everything, what the hell was his obsession with ranch? or if i cooked anything, he would say how much he loved it, but would "subtly suggest" a better way to prepare whatever it was. Or his obsessions with kombucha, a nasty fermented drink, guess it goes with his fermented persona. He had to have his hair, PEFERCT, and would almost cry if I didnt tell him 50 times a day his hair looked okay. I think at some point I was dating a woman. or heres one that was funny..he would have to have everything in his pockets, always in the same pocket. Keys on the right, walllet on the left..etc. He would literally freak if things were out of order. Psycho much? But he was an odd one, some days he would then flip the script on me, and eat almost anything acting as if he didnt have discriminating taste. he would even eat things off the floor when they fell. Crazy nut! One day he liked coffee,, next he didnt. Always back and forth, complete circles. HAHHAHHAH

Mine

was not bad when out in the public, but with me, like when i made breakfast, everything had to come out on time and in perfect condition, like if something was kinda cool by the time he sat down to eat, I knew it, not really mean but very particular, the perfection thing rearing its ugly head........I forgot, when we were in bed and fooling around sometimes it is fun to be silly and funny with your partner, right, BUT if i messied up the few strands left on hair left on his head, NO WAY, he would get angry at me and say do not do that!!!!

Xnh always had to be the

Xnh always had to be the "exception to the rule". So did his hideous P daughter. If we made plans to meet people at a specific time or place, xnh ALWAYS had to find some way to alter the plans so that he could be in control. If he couldn't change the plans, he would be late because of some made up "catastrophe" so that he could make a "dramatic entrance". The focus always had to be on HIM. When he ordered food, it had to have something special added or removed. He always insisted on something "custom" for himself. If by some miracle, he didn't change the plate (very rare), he would complain throughout the meal about how much BETTER his mommy would have made it. Xnh behaved like he thought he was royalty or something. lol. Xnh's hideous P daughter was every bit as obnoxious as xnh about having everything being "special" just for her. Go figure where she learned it. The leaf didn't fall very far from the tree with her and xnh. rofl. She would throw a fit because she wanted people to actually cook a separate dish "just for her" at meals. I would refuse. Xnh would make her whatever she wished (then xnh and I would get into a fight because I didn't bow down to his little "Princess"). It was absolutely disgusting. Her food always had to be cooked "special" somehow (just like xnh's). One classic example from when she was smaller, is that I caught her at a Thanksgiving dinner peeling the seeds out of some green beans her grandmother (xnh's narc mommy) made her put onto her plate. She threw a temper fit when I made her eat the ENTIRE green bean instead of just eating the little seeds, and then throwing the rest of the bean away. Heaven forbid that she would actually have to eat the WHOLE vegetable like common riff-raff people instead just the tiny part she wished. The world would SURELY explode. rofl. People used to refer to xnh's oldest hideous P daughter (in private, out of their hearing) as Bonnie Blue Butler after Rhett Butler's over-indulged, grossly favored bratty daughter in "Gone With The Wind". In the book, Rhett had several other children besides Bonnie Blue. However, the only one he ever talked about was her. Xnh's youngest daughter was mostly ignored by xnh, just like Rhett Butler's OTHER children were ignored by him. Xnh and his hideous P daughter were a "matched set" when it came to them acting "special". Barf. The following poem was actually written about the last of King Henry VIII's wives. However, it fits my sentiments about both xnh and his hideous P daughter. Therefore, I couldn't resist sharing it. lol. Oh gracious queen we thee implore To go away and sin no more And if that effort be too great Well -- go away at any rate Like you, I'm SO glad I can buy what I like now, just like other people. These PD's are absolutely absurd.

He is the king!

In restaurants - service staff need to treat him as top priority! Rem what's his fav and cook his steak exactly the way he wants In nite markets - strangely expects nite market stall holders to speak English and explain their wares! His t shirts - have to be of a certain blend of cotton! I bought one for him before he throw it aside and ask his cleaner to take it! His belt - only a certain brand and type of leather His skin care product - oh my dont get me started on this..... Drives me crazy

I just peed my pants

OMG SOOOO TRUE! Mine was SO prissy! We went on vacation to a lovely beach house and had to go hunting for a special mattress topper because he couldn't POSSIBLY sleep on the mattress as it was. He used more goddamn beauty products than I did, insisted on having manicures, etc etc. But here is the absolute best: He kept a good-sized wine cooler full of wine (all for show of course)...then when I said I felt like a bottle of white, he suggested Pinot Noir! BAAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! POSER! LOSER! FREAK! BUH-BYE!
