Do you have any quirks?

[Suzy Mouse]

A quirk is a peculiar action or behavior.

I definitely have a few...
~I like my bagels cut a certain way.
~No one else can make my bed.
~I have to go to the bathroom before I eat.
~My clothes are arranged in color order in my closet.
~My shoes must always be together.

I'm sure that I have many more!!!
What about you?

 

[JohnTBap]

I don't wear shoes in the house.

 

[mrsapalm]

My clothes are arranged by type (skirts, pants, long-sleeved-button-up, long-sleeved-pullover, etc...) AND color (within the type).
I eat most handheld foods with a knife and fork.
I do the same routine in the exact same order every morning and hate it when DH interrupts my routine by going in the closet first or needing to do something in the bathroom. (a bit over-the-top, I know)
I'm sure I have many, many more!

I wash my hands about 20 times a day.

I have a real issue with smelly hands!!!

And count the numbers of opals in my bracelet about 400 times aday.

I only flick through magazines when I buy them and read them in the evening.

I now feel a bit weird.

Most of mine are food quirks.
As my tag used to say before I lost it, I eat m&ms by color.
I cant mix my food. When I eat more than one food at a time, like a burger & fries, I have to eat all my fries first and then my burger. I cant alternate. I also eat the crust off pizza first(although Ill try not to do this when in public).

I have to have a clean house on Saturday morning to start the weekend. The whole house has to be cleaned. I cant stand if its only half done. I need to be organized.

You know, I was just thinking about this last night.

My strangest habit, is if I light a match (for a candle), once I blow it out, I either run it under water, or dip it in water before throwing it in the trash.

I am the daughter of a firefighter, so I know that's where I picked it up.

 

[Disney845]

My clothes are arranged by type (skirts, pants, long-sleeved-button-up, long-sleeved-pullover, etc...) AND color (within the type).

So are mine.

I only like drinking out of plastic cups in stead of glasses, and when in a restaurant I NEED a straw (I just don't like my lips touching glass, it feels weird to me)

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

I have my clothes arranged by type, too! But not by color. The opposite of Disney845, I really don't like drinking out of plastic, I go for the glass every time. And while I like lots of ice in my soda, I can't stand to try to drink through the ice--must have a straw!

Another quirk I have is where the liquid soap is placed in the bathroom. I go nuts every day because DH puts it on the vanity while I simply MUST have it on the edge of the sink where there is an indentation for a bar of soap. That way, if it drips, it goes into the sink, not on the counter!!!

Always!

 

[rbuzzotta]

My food can not touch one another on my plate!!! It bothers me something terrible.

I have to make all 4 beds in the house before I come downstairs.

I have to shower before I make the beds and come downstairs.

I have to iron all clothes the night before and lay them out for the morning.

I have to say "I love you" to all 3 DD's and DH every morning and every evening at the least!!

 

[browneyes]

I have too many to name. But I'll name a few:

1. I eat things by layers (I love Steak/egg bagels from McD's-no cheese, but I eat the eggs first, the onions next, the steak, and then the bagel itself-starting with the top. I do this with several foods).

2. I eat one thing at a time (steak first, then the baked potato, never steak AND the baked potato).

3. All my hangers have to face the same way. (open part of the hanger facing the way)

4. I'll triple check things (and most of you thought I was just a doubler ).

 

[Shannon G]

I eat most handheld foods with a knife and fork.

This reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld where everyone was eatuing candy bars with a knife & fork!

 

[antnee]

Well I never like different food types to mix. If I eat pasta Iwont eat another food item along with it on the same plate. I am always changing for a clean plate.

 

[Patio]

I have many, many, many of them!!!!

I, like Browneyes, have all my hangers facing the same way.
I always wash darks first, then lights, then whites and towels.
I can't stand having any glasses or dishes in the sink.
I brush my teeth and wash my hands a lot.
I read newspapers and magazines in order from page 1, can't just read my favorite parts first.
I have many more, but I'll stop here.LOL!

 

[tkyes]

you guys are weird LOL!


I can't really think of any. I'm sure I have some, but I see mine as just being a picky person.

I guess I'll have to pay more attention to what I do.

I have to get out on the same side of the bed that I get in on. I also like to go out the same door that I came it!

 

[Mermaid02]

Mine are WEIRD..... I divide words up into "letter groups" for example..... fo re xa mp le Get it? Me either- I have done it as long as I can remember. I prefer one letter to be with a vowel but it doesn't always work out that way.


I have to read ALL of the paper at once.... if my dh says "Can I have the sports?" I just give him the WHOLE paper and when he's done I read it. It has to be read in ORDER.

 

[grinningghost]

I have to check the knobs on the stove everytime I go by to make sure they're off. (Very OCD, don't know where it came from)

I make every effort to catch "Leave it to Beaver" whenever it's on (this show, for some reason, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside)

I like to have the garbage outside on garbage night before it's dark. (This is often a struggle, as DH is the primary garbage hauler )

I also eat finger foods with a fork. Especially pizza because it's all drippy and greasy.

 

[Fishbone†]

Tamie said I could fill up a whole page and then some, and she's right..... I'm sure she could point out even more that I don't even notice, but some are:

1) I always tie my shoes back up and line them up on the wall when I take them off.

2) The papers in my recycle bin have to be stacked neatly against the sides.... I hate messy recycle bins!

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

4) I always lick the flavoring or salt off of chips and pretzels before eating them.

5) I eat my D'amico and Sons salad noodles first, then almonds, then cherries, then turkey. Actually I eat most of my food this way, I don't like mixed flavors.... oreos have to be eaten cream first then cookie..... etc...

6) Hot food makes me shiver.... don't ask why, I don't know.

7) Sour food makes my tongue click on the roof of my mouth.... again, don't ask.

8) My desk has to be perfectly straight when I leave at night... including the mouse being perfectly centered on the mousepad, and the phone cord curled to the side of the phone.

9) Doors have to be fully opened, or fully closed... I HATE when doors are half open!! Please open them fully to the wall.

10) The tires / steering wheel on my car have to be straight when parked, and the seats have to be in a normal position, and I HATE when the windshield wipers get left on in an awkward position.

Okay, I'll quit there.... Tamie can probably fill you in on additional ones, but here's my top ten anyway.

AND GOOFYPOSTER & DEBSTER.... you guys can just zip it before you even start!!! I know what you're thinking!
