Do you have any quirks?

[Lynn CC]

I just have one that I can think of, but I've been told it really bothers people.....

I ALWAYS read a magazine from the back to the front cover.


Tell me, there must be someone else who does this!

3) I eat my M&Ms, Skittles and anything else with color in order.

I do this too - only I take it a step further and have to eat them in pairs - two red ones, two blue ones, etc. If I end up with an odd number of one color, then I try to pair the odd one with an odd one of a coordinating color or flavor. Especially with Skittles and Smarties.

 

[tkyes]

OK Fishbone - I'm scared! I didn't know about some of those. You are a freak!! LOL!!

Your windshield one reminded me that I hate when wipers aren't at the right speed, ie. they are going to fast for the amount of rain on the window. I constantly adjust mine to make sure they are just right.

I couldn't think of any, but how about this?

I have to use two towels after a shower and I have to have fresh, clean ones. I don't reuse them.

I've been told it's weird.

 

[nativetxn]

Lauri, we use clean towels everyday, too. My mother thinks I'm not only weird but wasteful

I have to have coat hangers all going in the same direction too. I didn't know that was weird.

 

[scarlett873]

these are too funny...

my quirks...
my feet can't touch the floor when i drive over railroad tracks...
when i eat a cereal with marshmallows in it, i have to eat the marshmallows last...
i have to be the first one to pick out my piece of pizza...


those are the main ones that come to mind...i know i have more, but can't think of them!!

 

[helenabear]

The biggest one for me is that I have to pick my food apart or order it in a very specific way. I am a very very picky eater. I am sure there are others and if there are I am sure my DH is better at answering that for me

 

[JAP]

I am sure I have way too many to post!

I went back to read some of these and I DO THIS TOO!

 

[grinningghost]

I read magazines back to front too.

And Scarlett873, you and I both do the feet up over the railroad tracks thing. I'll tell you why I do it: Many years ago, a friend and I were driving to a music store to pick up sheet music for another friend's funeral. We came to railroad tracks and my friend told me to lift my feet up. I asked why, he told me it was bad luck not to - so I did.

Two months later, that friend died too. There's something about him telling me that while running around for a funeral, and then going to his two months later that just makes me do it now. I suppose it should be the other way around, I should probably never do it because it's BAD luck - but I just can't look at it that way.

I only pick coins up if they are heads up

My house can look like a tornado went through it but the kitchen has to be spotless!!


I always DIP my matches after lighting them!!

When crossing a state line I always touch the windshield so I will be "first" in the state.

I use my OWN bar of soap in the shower

 

[Chattyaholic]

I put my socks on right foot - then left foot - then put my shoes on - right foot - then left foot, never the other way around.

I, too, use my OWN bar of soap in the shower

I HAVE to wipe up all the water drops around the sinks, both in the bathroom AND the kitchen.

Those are the only ones I can think of...at the moment...I'm sure there are others.

But in reading the rest of y'alls responses, some of you are just too strange!!!

 

[BabyLove99]

When I drink water it has to be bottled and at room temperature.

I have to wear socks to bed. I'm not able to fall asleep unless I'm wearing a pair.

Every night I pick out what I'm going to wear in the morning, how I'm going to do my make up, and how I'm going to do my hair. I always do this the night before, never in the morning

Everything I eat I break into pieces. I never bite into things, I always put smaller pieces into my mouth.

I hate watching a movie I've never seen before with other people. The first time I see a movie I almost always watch it by myself

My bathroom that's in my room MUST be clean. My room and closet will be a total mess, but if my bathroom isn't perfect I freak lol

When I study for school I need to highlight what I'm reading. I feel that if I don't highlight, I won't learn it

That's all I can think of right now

 

[snoopy]

Ah, where should I begin? I'm the quirkiest person alive.

-I refuse to drive over bridges

-I refuse to sleep on anything but WHITE, COTTON, 240 thread count sheets.

-I have eaten the same lunch every day for 14 years. A big salad. I can never vary from this same lunch. Prior to that, when I was in school, I ate a tuna fish sandwich, a ho ho, and an orange - never changed up.

-I refuse to wear turtlenecks. I feel like I'm suffocating.

-Ditto headbands or anything in my hair. Gives me a headache.

-When I go out to dinner, I rearrange the silverwear to my liking - I'm a leftie. I also tend to clean up for the waitress.

-I can never go to bed with one dish in the sink.

-When I leave my house in the morning, all beds must be made, and the kids stuffed animals have to be arranged perfectly on the bed. Or else I can't leave.

-I also pick up my feet over railroad tracks. And go completely silent when I drive past a graveyard. My kids know to do this too.

(I could go on and on........ )

Before leaving the house I have to touch the electrical socket to ensure my curlers aren't plugged in. For some reason, if I simply look at it, once I get in the car I'm never sure if they were truly unplugged or not.

Whenever I eat chips I have to examine them and make sure the one I select is the 'best'.

I set my clock 2 hours and 15 minutes ahead because I hate waking up early in the morning and I'd much rather get up at 6:15 than 4:00.

I despise fans - I cannot stand the feeling of air blowing on me. Same thing with the vents in the car...unless I'm miserably hot, the vents have to pointing away from me and preferably turned way down.

I'm very strange.

 

[Saffron]

Haha! These are so funny! I do a couple of them plus:

The pantry in the kitchen has to be arranged a certain way; certain foods on certain shelves.

I have to have a box of tissues in the console of my car between the front seats and a brand new bottle of water in the cup holder.

I can't leave my house without my Arm and Hammer gum and I have to have a fresh piece as soon as I get in the car.

I only like to use certain pens or pencils.

We have about 20 mugs, but I only like to use 2 of them. They're tulip shaped and I like the way they fit my mouth??? ROTFLOL!! Anyway, my boss pointed out to me that I lick the cup each time before I take a sip! Now that's quirky.

 

[Mermaid02]

My Mother reads her magazines from back to front too....

I don't have to touch the outlets.... but I have to say to myself..."You unplugged the curling iron...." as I go through the motion.

 

[Boo'sMom]

woo hoo.....some of you are even stranger than me......

I have to read the paper in order....and have my coffee at the same time... I won't drink my coffee while reading the paper, but it has to be ready for me....

All of my side of the bed has to be tucked in at night. I can't sleep if the bottom is untucked.

I can only sleep on the side of the bed closest to the bedroom door.

I need a night light..somewhere in the upstairs...doesn't have to be my room.

I have to dry my hair before I put a shirt on.

whenever we're in Florida and see the road signs "Soft Shoulders" I reach over and squeeze my DH's shoulders....don't even ask about "Stop Ahead"

 

[montessori]

This is a hoot!

I also check and recheck electric appliances, the stove and oven, AND the hot water heater before leaving the house.
Then, I worry anyway. I am really working on this though, it's no fun.

Our bedroom door has to be open just 2 inches. The closet and bathroom doors must be closed all the way.

I do not like drinking out of a straw.

I can not have a foot touching my foot when I am sleeping!

 

[abaldacci]

knowone can touch the rim of my glass
I don't like to drink out of plastic.
I make a wish kiss my thumb and touch it to the ceiling of the car when I go under a yellow light.
I tell myself when I turn things off to make a mental note that it.
