Do you have any quirks?

[skuttle]

I can't sleep w/o the comforter...doesn't matter if it's 20 degrees or 100 degrees...I can't sleep w/o the comforter...a sheet is not enough...I don't feel safe.

I eat anything round in a circle.

I can only drink tap water if it has been chilled in the fridge...I can tell the difference b/t getting it out of the fridge or just adding ice to it.

I HAVE to have a straw at restuarants!

I check my alarm clock 5 or 6 times before going to sleep.

That's not quirky. That's being relaxed. If it was quirky then I would have a quirk too and I don't have any quirks....
except my tea has to be brewed a certain way....in a certain type of mug...

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


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

My DH does this but I have always attributed that to his being left handed.

This is not a problem at my house. We always go to bed with more than one dish in the sink.

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

i do that too!! i look to find the whole chips or the oddball ones (they're folded over or something weird like that) DH teases me about that...


the reason that i lift my feet going over railroad tracks is kind of silly. my friend told me years and years ago that if you don't pick your feet up, you'll lose your boyfriend! it just became a habit for me that i still do to this day. i don't even think about it anymore. i just do it...that was something that my now DH remembered about me over they years we were apart. he about died when he realized that i still do it to this very day.

oh yeah...and when i eat a skor bar or a heath bar or some kind of hard toffee covered in chocolate, i eat all the chocolate off first and then eat the toffee.

DH pointed one of my quirks out to me last night...i also sing "jingles". like commercials or the radio jingle.

i'm a strange one...but at least i know i'm not alone!!

I love this thread! LOL

Everything has to be straight.. I can't stand anything being crooked.. Even if it's a pile of junk, it has to be a straight pile, not all crooked..

I check appliances numerous times to see if they're really shut off..

I only have ONE particular pen I can write letters with - and ONE particular pen for writing checks..

I am extrememly particular about my penmanship - letters must be of uniform size..

If I'm writing a letter to someone and I make a mistake on the tenth page or so, I have to re-write the entire letter..

I have to brush my tongue every morning..

I do not like anyone touching my hair..

I have to wash my dishes in a particular order.. My DD calls it, "Mom's Dewey Dish System"..

I can't tolerate talking in the room when I'm watching television - yet I have to be doing something else at the same time..

I must have milk with everything I eat - except if I'm eating a hot dog, in which case I must have orange soda (which then gives me a migraine because I hate soda)..

I cannot drink out of stoneware coffee cups without getting a headache and the coffee tasting "odd" to me..

And I
KNOW there's a WHOLE lot more I'm forgetting about..

Can you say "OCD"???????

 

[debster812]

Well,

It's official, we are a bunch of fruitcakes!!!! (No flames anyone, notice I said 'we')

GP--I have decreed that it will be a 'Be Nice to Fishy†' Weekend!

Thought of another one for me, no matter how hot it is, I have to have some sort of covers on me to fall asleep. Could be just a sheet, over one leg, but I need something!

 

[Kama89]

No quirks here. I'm perfectly normal.

GP--I have decreed that it will be a 'Be Nice to Fishy†' Weekend!

WOW!! That IS a quirk!

...all right....if you insist Deb....*sigh*.....but I bet she'll still accuse ya of 'caus'in problems!

 

[tkyes]

I usually straighten greeting cards at Hallmark stores. Blame that on years of working at a gift shop throughout highschool.

I always straighten pictures, even at work.

I can't stand when bows (like on packages) are smooshed, if I can I'll try and fix them.

 

[RNMOM]

Ya know, therapy can help a lot of these. If that doesn't work....medications might.

{Take it from one who knows!}

 

[shep]

Can't stand dirty laundry on the floor

Have to get the mail as soon as it comes

No dirty dishes in the sink--clean ones can air dry for a week, but can't have dirty ones in there...

See who's calling on caller id before i answer the phone

 

[julie_yet]

[color=0066ff]I always wash the dishes in a certain order.

I have to re tuck the sheet at the foot of the bed before I go to sleep.

If I go somewhere and I feel that it's "dirty" like in a store or someone's house I can't breathe with my mouth open.

You don't have to say it. I already know I have OCD.[/color]

 

[Lynn CC]

Whew.....so I'm not so weird afterall

I'm relieved to know there are others who read their magazines from back to front.

I was thinking of this the other night trying to figure out the logic of it, but I have no idea. It's just one of those quirks I guess.

I have caught people looking at me in waiting rooms, probably wondering why I opened the magazine at the back page and flip through it backwards


Awwe Snoopy I guess that means you'll never visit us here on the Cape? Or you will have your DH drive over the bridge?

 

[iluvorlando]

No quirks here. I'm perfectly normal.

Yeah, except for that funny attraction you have for that skater dude.

Let's see, if dh is working nights the dog has to be roaming the house (otherwise he is in our room with the door shut)

The dishes have to be in the dishwasher in a certain order.

Um, that's all I can think of for now.

 

[Kama89]

Yeah, except for that funny attraction you have for that skater dude.

That's not a quirk... that's good taste.

I've seen more than a few of my quirks here...

I like all of the coat hangers to face the same way AND the empty ones belong in the very back.

My closet is catagorized by type of item and color.

I don't like dirty dishes in the sink. Pretty much always have the dishwasher ready to load.

I make up the beds first thing in the morning. Tidy up and clean before I leave for the day. I don't like to come home to a mess.

I set my alarm super early because I'm not a morning person. I end up hitting snooze about 2-3 times. Not having to get up right away is a great thing.

I am a triple checker for locking doors, unplugging electrical stuff.

I also dip my matches after use.

After eating at a restaurant, I tidy up the table. Stack the dishes...

When using individually wrapped sugar, I tear off the top, dump the sugar in my drink and stick the torn top into the empty package. Then I fold it into a small little line, bend it and put it to the side. Been doing it for as long as I can remember. If there is a long wait for the food, I'll discreetly take the used wrappers (from our party) one by one on the table and do them as well. I don't have to but I do it...
