For me its food.I hate it when ds asks for a taste of food off my plate.Piss off it's mine! Grin
I am being light hearted obviously but it's the one thing that I'm a selfish cow about.Anyone else have any?

My bath. Do not knock on the door or even worse just walk in the bathroom. Unless there's an emergency necessitating my immediate evacuation of the house, my bath is not to be disturbed. It's when I think.

Not so much now since I left my husband but my alone time. I'm extremely introverted but work in a busy place with lots of people, so I'd get home from an eight hour shift and just want to be left alone for a bit to recharge. Ex-h just couldn't understand this and would get all mopey and upset. Yes I'm an anti-social cow, deal with it!
My free time. I used to have a team leader and a manager, both of whom would ask people to do overtime and you couldn't just say no and leave it, they always wanted to know why. (Because I want to sit around in my nightie, eating chocolate and watching YouTube, that's why!)
My stuff. My younger siblings were always messing up my stuff, used to drive me bananas. Now I know my makeup and jewellery and fancy pens are safe. Oh, and I never share make-up, people ask and I just give a blunt no. It's unhygienic.

My good tea bags

We have perfectly adequate, every day tea bags available to anyone who wants a cuppa. Just leave my good teabags alone, and we can still be friends, OK?

My personal space. My chair. Chocolate if I bought it for just me. I also dislike sharing food or drink from the same cup or plate... if someone wants to try my food I will give them some before I start, but i dont want to try theirs if they ate some already.

I buy quite a pricey shampoo and conditioner as have very long hair and try to maintain it. I take it out of the bathroom as I don't want anyone else using it!

Also perfume. I hate if someone likes my perfume, buys it and wears it all the time. Yes, it's not 'mine', anyone can wear it, but perfume feels quite personal to me. I'd feel weird wearing the same perfume as someone close to me.
